But in the case of one outfitter operating in Colorado and other states, the law-breaking was so “numerous and severe” that prosecutors said the stiff sentence was warranted. On July 31, Timothy Rawlings of Laveen, Ariz., was sentenced to 12 months in federal prison for violations of the Lacey Act. That legislation protects wildlife by targeting crimes that cross state or international borders. The list of charges against Rawlings, 56, includes illegal outfitting, brokering of landowner vouchers, shooting from vehicles, chasing animals with vehicles, and hunting in unlicensed and unpermitted lands. Rawlings also failed to…

The cloudburst flash flood that decimated India’s Dharali village on August 5, 2025, came fast and without warning. Roads, homes, businesses, and infrastructure were swept away and buried under debris. Seven rescue teams are currently using RECCO, a common outdoor technology in winter sports gear, to aid in the search for the 50 people who are still missing. Search and rescue teams are increasingly incorporating this affordable technology around the world and using it in the summer. In 2015, RECCO launched its SAR Helicopter device to assist in rescue operations like the one in Dharali, India, year-round. It’s also becoming…

Most people hear the name “Glock” and instantly think of the polymer-framed pistols that reshaped the handgun market. But before the Glock 17 became a worldwide sidearm icon, the late Gaston Glock made his mark with something far more old-school—a fixed-blade combat knife built to meet the demands of Austria’s toughest soldiers. There is lots more at Ammoland.com The GLOCK Knife That Helped Launch a Gun Legend ~ VIDEO     Or you can watch the video…   Read the full article here

By Wayne van Zwoll Posted in #Gear #Hunting The deer was small in the 4X Redfield. But the October air was still, and I trusted the .300 tugging the sling taut. Crosswire quivering a half-body-depth over the buck’s withers, I pressed the trigger. Recoil jarred the image. It cleared to show the buck wilt. A faint “thwuck” trailed the blast. The previous year, a buck in a ridge-top copse of stunted pines had escaped notice as, soft-footing along, I glassed distant gaps at timberline. I turned as much to see dawn fire the pines as to look…

Pizza is one of the most popular foods in the world, and it’s especially popular in the United States. It’s so beloved, in fact, that there’s a whole industry dedicated to home pizza ovens. While a dedicated pizza oven is not expressly necessary, another tool is more commonplace and essential, especially if you want to share your pie. However, the humble pizza cutter is also one of the most underappreciated kitchen tools. Probably will invest in a nice one someday. Just have a restaurant supply one that is pure utilitarian. I make homemade pizza all the time, and it deserves a…
