Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. The typical, modern turkey shotgun has a red dot, camo pattern, pistol grip, and a super-short barrel. And while these compact rigs are handy in the woods, they don’t always pattern that well. In my opinion, a turkey gun is only as good as the pattern it throws.  So I recently got together with two other Outdoor Life editors, Scott Einsmann and Roy Holdford, and we discussed our favorite turkey guns. As it turns out, our favorite shotguns weren’t the fancy, expensive, tricked out…

Some hunters turn to snow machines, which are loud and cumbersome; others resort to snowshoeing, which is exhausting and inefficient. Peter Wadsworth spent 10 years skiing Vermont’s backcountry before moving to Anchorage seven years ago; he knew there was a better way. At the time, Wadsworth wanted to use his skis to access ptarmigan country. Old-timers and newer locals alike told him the same thing: “You can’t hunt on…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  A Prediction of Empire’s End I believe we are witnessing the last, desperate gasp of the American Empire. In the early hours of February 28, 2026, President Donald Trump, in concert with Israel, launched a war he calls ‘Operation Epic Fury’ against Iran [1]. This is not a necessary act of defense. In my view, it is a deliberate, fatal trap that will unravel American global dominance through a perfect storm of economic, military, and geopolitical collapse. As one analysis starkly put it, the move ‘risks American decline’ by exposing…

As the April 15 tax filing deadline looms, troops and their families should be aware of some tax law changes this year that affect them.

Mitchell highlighted some of the changes…

House and Senate members, along with prominent veterans’ organizations, hope 2026 will be the year Congress passes legislation to give 54,000 wounded veterans their military retirement pay and Veterans Affairs disability compensation — without one offsetting the other. In the past two weeks, veterans groups, including Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars, lobbied lawmakers for passage of the Major Richard Star Act, a bill that would allow medically retired U.S. military personnel to receive both their full retirement pay and VA disability compensation. While the legislation has been a major focus for advocates since 2020, concerns about the…

The same probably holds true for most turkey hunters when it comes to their tactics, calling strategies, and even their clothing or gear. While some hunters view turkey vests as equally important as their calls, others opt for fanny packs or no vest at all out of minimalism or downright rebellion. With that in mind, I tested the best turkey vests (and non-turkey vests) to suit…

United States ruler Donald Trump claims that the U.S. can wage war “forever” with an “virtually unlimited” supply of weapons and ammunition.  Trump made the claim in a post to Truth Social on Monday. In the post, Trump dismissed concerns over the U.S.’s alleged limited munitions availability. Military analysts have claimed that the concern is over air defense missiles, and they claim it is a limiting factor in the ongoing U.S.-Israeli campaign aimed at toppling the Iranian government. “Wars can be fought ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries’ finest arms!),” he wrote. The president…
