How to Choose a Deer Hunting Rifle: The Ultimate Guide for Serious Hunters
When you’re out in the wild, face-to-face with nature and anticipation humming through your nerves, the rifle in your hands must feel like an extension of your body. Whether you’re tracking whitetail through thick woods or patiently watching from a blind, choosing the right deer hunting rifle is part science, part instinct, and part legacy.
This comprehensive guide is designed to help hunters—from rookies to seasoned marksmen—choose a setup tailored to their terrain, goals, and comfort. Let’s break it down so you can head into the season with confidence.
🎯 Key Factors to Consider Before Buying
1. Species and Size of Deer
Whitetail, mule deer, red deer, roe deer—all differ in weight, behavior, and habitat. Smaller deer need lighter calibers and shorter range setups, while larger species may require more punch and precision.
2. Hunting Environment• Dense forest? A lightweight, fast-handling rifle makes maneuv
Duck Hunting Methods in Morocco: Field-Proven Techniques, Regional Strategies & Dog Work 🦆
Duck hunting in Morocco isn’t a packaged experience—it’s raw, seasonal, and shaped by terrain, weather, and tradition. From the tidal lagoons of Merja Zerga to the inland marshes of Tadla, each region demands a different approach. This guide breaks down the actual hunting methods used by Moroccan waterfowl hunters, with detailed insight into setups, dog breeds, regional tactics, and how the hunt unfolds in real time.
---
🎯 Morning Flight Shooting (Most Common Method)
This is the bread-and-butter technique for duck hunters across Morocco. It’s used in nearly every wetland zone—from River Camp’s lakes to the reed beds of Souss-Massa.
🔹 How It Works:
• Hunters arrive at the blind or natural cover before dawn, usually by 5:30–6:00 AM.
• Ducks begin flying in 30–45 minutes after sunrise, heading from roosting areas to feeding zones.
• Shots are taken as birds pass overhead or swing into decoy
How to Call in a Bull Elk Like a Calling Champion
Do You Use These Techniques?
You might expect a top elk caller to focus his hunting advice on proper call selection, volume, tone, timing or teamwork. But one Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation World Elk Calling Championship winner says perhaps the most critical step to calling in elk is how you set up to intercept an approaching bull.
Corey Jacobsen of Boise, Idaho, is one of the most decorated world champion elk callers in the country, as well as a consistently successful bowhunter.
Jacobsen offers the following key advice on calling elk into bow range:
“The setup might be the most critical step," Jacobsen said. "It always plays a major role in determining the outcome of a hunt. I can’t count how many hunts have been blown by a bad setup — too much brush to shoot through, not enough cover to hide in, no shooting lanes, inconsistent wind currents, caught in the open, the list goes on and on.
“I always repeat one word to myself when I’m s
Canadian geese hunting is a popular and challenging pursuit for hunters across the United States. These migratory birds are known for their intelligence, adaptability, and strong social bonds, making them both a rewarding and demanding target. Here's an exploration of why accurate shooting is crucial in this type of hunting, how American hunters approach it, and what makes it so difficult.
The Difficulty of Canadian Goose Hunting
Despite its popularity, Canadian goose hunting is not easy. Several factors contribute to its difficulty:
Intelligence and Adaptability
Geese are highly observant and wary of potential threats. If they detect anything unusual—such as poorly placed decoys, inconsistent calling, or exposed hunters—they will flare away from the area. Experienced geese become even more difficult to deceive over time.
Weather Conditions
Weather plays a significant role in goose hunting success. Wind direction affects how geese approach decoys, while fog, rain, or snow can obscure

Hog Hunting with My Trusty CZ Carbine
There’s something about stepping into the woods after sunset that gets the blood pumping. Down here in the South, night hunts for wild hogs aren’t just tradition - they’re necessity. These feral beasts tear up crops, damage land, and challenge even the most seasoned outdoorsman. So tonight, just like many before, I headed out under the stars with my faithful hunting partner - my CZ carbine.
🐗 Tracking the Night Menace
Wild hogs are no joke. Fast, smart, and aggressive, they test your skill every step of the way. But with the CZ tucked against my shoulder, I feel ready for whatever comes charging through the brush. There’s a reason I swear by this rifle: it’s balanced, reliable, and built for precision. That’s exactly what you need when you’re lining up a shot in pitch black with just a thermal scope for company.
🌾 The Setup
Whether it’s the thick pinewoods of Georgia, the mesquite scrub in Texas, or the dense swamps of Florida—every state’s
Travis “T-Bone” Turner — how the archery legend and star of Bone Collector lives and hunts
Travis Turner, widely known by his nickname T-Bone, is a legend in the world of bow hunting and one of the most popular hunting bloggers in the United States. He is a professional archer with the title of ASA World Champion, a media personality, TV presenter, entrepreneur, and mentor to thousands of hunters around the world.
Bow hunting is T-Bone's calling card
Travis Turner became famous for his outstanding archery skills. His preference is bow hunting for white-tailed deer, where he uses subtle strategies and precise distance calculations. He prefers to hunt at a distance of 50–60 yards, using Hoyt bows, carefully assembled arrows (up to 500 grains), and specialized sights. His passion for archery makes him an expert in the intricacies of bow equipment setup.
Where does T-Bone Turner hunt?
Travis Turner's main hunting base is in Trup County, Georgia, where he owns a 27-acre plot of land. T
Review of the Tikka T3 Hunter .30-06 with Leupold Scope on Weaver Rail
As an avid hunter who has taken this rifle on numerous hunts, including deer, elk, and even a few challenging trips for wild boar, I feel confident sharing my experience with the Tikka T3 Hunter in .30-06 Springfield. Paired with a Leupold scope mounted on a Weaver rail, this setup has been my go-to for several seasons. Here’s my detailed take on its performance, pros, and cons.
Pros:
Accuracy:
The Tikka T3 Hunter is a laser beam. Out of the box, it consistently delivers sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with factory ammunition. The .30-06 cartridge is versatile, and the rifle handles it beautifully. Whether I was taking a 150-yard shot at a whitetail or stretching it out to 300 yards on an elk, the rifle performed flawlessly.
Build Quality:
The Finnish craftsmanship is evident. The stock is made of high-quality wood, which not only looks stunning but also feels solid in hand. The blued steel barrel and action a

Setup trail cameras around major summer food sources (more on this below) and on trails to those food sources. Find tips on how to hang trail cameras properly, here.
Trail camera pictures are only as useful as you make them. At the most basic level, they tell you if nice bucks are around. But what you’re really trying to figure out is where those nice bucks are heading, where they’re coming from, and where they might be vulnerable. To do that, you’ve got to really read the pictures, not just flip through them. For example, look to see if one of your target bucks is hanging out with a bachelor group of smaller bucks. That way, even if you don’t keep getting photos of the big buck, but capture shots of the smaller bucks, you can still gamble on the big buck’s general whereabouts (some of the wariest bucks are good at avoiding cameras). Years ago I got a trail camera shot of a buck with muddy legs. That told me he probably crossed a nearby swamp before coming out to feed.

Picking the Best Rifle and Caliber for Pig Hunting
Do you need a magnum setup or a fast-shooting semi-auto? Probably, your deer rifle will work just fine
Pig Reality
There’s a reason gun nuts love pig hunting. In southern states like Texas and Florida, hogs aren’t subject to many game laws, which means you can hunt them with about whatever you please. If you have a magnum rifle that never sees the light of day because, after buying it, you realized cracked clavicles are no fun at all, you can use it on pigs. In fact, some of the advice out there suggests that you need a really big gun for hog hunting, because you never know when a true Hogzilla might make an appearance.
On the other hand, plenty of would-be hog hunters show up with high-capacity semi-autos and visions of a mag dump against a marauding horde of pork. Those rifles are fun to shoot and plenty accurate enough, but unless you’re shooting from a helicopter, they rarely give you much of an advantage while pig hunting.

Picking the Best Rifle and Caliber for Pig Hunting
Do you need a magnum setup or a fast-shooting semi-auto? Probably, your deer rifle will work just fine
Large wild pigs can move with a grace and silence that’s starkly at odds with their appearance. The boar that emerged from the thicket next to us did it without a sound, and he was comically large. My 7-year-old son, Anse, spotted him, and by the time he said something and I looked up, the pig was walking straight away from our box stand, headed to the feeder 60 yards away. “Look at the size of the nuts on that thing!” Anse whispered.
Indeed, it appeared as if the pig was toting a pair of darkened, medium-sized cantaloupes. As the boar settled on the bait, I helped Anse steady his rifle, a bolt-action .300 Blackout, in the window frame of the box blind.
It was early, maybe 4 p.m., when we snuck into the blind, and the Central Texas sun was still hot. I’d barely closed the bolt on the little rifle when a mix of 25 pigs—sows and shoat

From My Blind to Yours: How I Choose Shotgun Shells for Hunting
I’ve been hunting since I was old enough to carry a shotgun, and if there’s one lesson I’ve learned the hard way, it’s this: the wrong shell can cost you the shot of a lifetime. Whether you’re after birds or big game, knowing your ammo matters. This isn’t theory — it’s what I’ve figured out over seasons of trial, error, and a few missed opportunities.
---
🎯 First Things First: Understand Your Shell
Every shotgun shell has three parts:
• Casing — holds everything together
• Primer — ignites the powder
• Payload — either birdshot (multiple pellets), buckshot (larger pellets), or a slug (single projectile)
You also need to match your shell to your shotgun’s gauge and chamber length. I shoot mostly 12-gauge, but I’ve used 20-gauge for lighter setups. Don’t assume — check your barrel markings before loading anything.
