From massive brown bears, to predators and varmints, African dangerous game and everything in between, this round gets the job done worldwide. I love hunting firearms, especially beautifully wood-stocked, accurate bolt action and single-shot rifles. I personally have...
From properly seasoning and cleaning your cast iron skillet to tried-and-true recipes, this is your guide to the best cast iron cooking. “Nein! Keine seife!” Sternly blurted my grandfather. The tone of his voice surprised me so, I almost dropped the heavy, dark cast...
