While swimbait culture has made scarcity and high prices a virtue, plenty of readily-available lures catch fish and won’t break the bank. Here…

Darkness gave way to daylight in slow, begrudging increments as our hunting party neared the top of the mountain. The driving snow had made the long uphill climb on horseback much tougher than usual. It had been falling steadily throughout the night and later would be remembered as the season’s first full-scale blizzard. Already, 12 inches of snow covered the ground in some places, and between the constant wind, the falling temperature and the biting snowflakes, the upcoming day promised to present a grueling test…

The Pentagon’s recent memorandum marked a milestone in military health policy, mandating annual testosterone screening for all service members over 30 and directing the creation of an advisory council to address Operator Syndrome. This action puts health and human performance optimization front and center as a readiness issue.Human performance optimization, or HPO, is intended to improve health and readiness force-wide.

It’s common for fish to move away from shoreline structure, and if you don’t have forward-facing sonar, it can feel like you’re simply out of luck. But that’s not really true, just ask the Griz (Dick Grzywinski). For the last nine summers, this legendary fishing guide has figured out a red-hot northern pike bite that most anglers overlook.  During this time of year panfish head for deep water and “Christmas tree up,” as the…

Trump on July 20 told the Financial Times that the U.S. has to be “a little bit careful of who we license to.” Despite that, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday posted on X that the two sides have “now reached an agreement.”The glacial progress may reflect American defense giants’…
