Dove Days - Neurotic turkeys, elusive quail, sharp-eyed ducks - there's plenty of stressful bird hunting in Florida, but why not take it easy with a laidback, casual hunt that's as much about bonding with friends and family, as it is about bagging dinner - although that part's not so tough. Blue-Winged Teal Bonanza - If it weren't for the heat, you'd think this was Thanksgiving weekend in Stuttgart, Ark., site of the annual "Wings Over the Prairie Festival."

Read More Issue 222 - November 6, 2012 Self-Taught Elk Hunter - As a child of the Pacific Northwest and growing up hunting the great public lands of Oregon, it's safe to say Kristy Titus' truest outdoor passion is elk hunting.

Read More Issue 219 - October 25, 2012 Zombies Take Over - It normally takes three days of roaming the SHOT Show floor before show attendee's start getting that walking-dead, 1,000-yard stare look. At the 2012 SHOT Show, the "Walking Dead" or "zombies" were a consistent part of the show from the start. Move Deer Crossings? - This is too absurd to be believed. I mean really. With apologies to Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, Wild Card has come across a video that has left jaws dropped and minds boggled. Really.

But, Jim Shockey went, taking a four-man crew from "The Professionals" series on Outdoor Channel with him. The Well-Heeled Archer - It must have been a woman who first said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

All of these things beg for "fixing," even though they might already work adequately. Have Fins, Will Travel - Marlin are among the fastest fish, reaching speeds of up to 68 mph. Researchers wanted to know how far they travel, and they got a good idea after the first year of the Great Marlin Race.

Yellowfin Record May Fall - "El Suertudo," Spanish for "the lucky one," is the perfect name for the 61-foot Viking that belongs to Guy Yocom from Dana Point, CA.

Read More Issue 213 - October 4, 2012 Bighorns Diminish - To sit in the presence of the Rocky Mountain bighorns in the high, wild and lonely country of northwest Wyoming they call home is nothing less than a royal privilege.

Often, those memories center on a hunter's first opening day or the first time a hunt was successful. Fall Redfish Roundup - Redfish are a predictable lot - they'll eat when food avails.
