Field & Stream
Enough Is Enough • It’s not easy to quit while you’re ahead—especially when the fish are still biting—but sometimes it’s the right move
The Absolute Limit • Some advancements in hunting gear have revolutionized the sport for the better. Others call into question the very idea of fair chase
One More Load • Why do we push ourselves to the breaking point in the outdoors—and then choose to do it again? Because it’s what we’ve always done
The Primitive Arts • As modern crossbows top 500 fps and ballistic apps spit out firing solutions, Florida artisan Ryan Gill crafts hunting tools from wood and stone and sinew—and uses them to take down deer and alligators and bison
A Limit With Wade • The author remembers his hero and mentor, when on a rare spring morning, with the moon phase just right, they caught one elusive shellcracker after another
Our River • Dams, record-breaking drought, climate change, and overuse have pushed the Klamath Basin to its limit. Meet the people fighting to save one of the greatest watersheds in the West
The Making of a Marksman • Over eight months, the author dives headfirst into the long-range craze to find out if shooting to distance is really worth it for hunters
Bright Lights, Big Country • It’s story time at a fish camp on the Smith River. So grab a drink, take a seat, and soak in those summer nights
The Waiting Game • Fishing and hunting both have their action-packed moments. But it’s the still, quiet stretches of time that test our skill the most
Wild Goose Tsukune • These grilled meatballs, slathered in a flavor-bomb sauce, are a delicious use of those skinless goose and duck breasts still sitting in your freezer
Paying the Rent • It’s OK to lose money on a gun you sell. That’s the cost of making memories with it
Frog Days • There’s no better way to start the summer than with a buddy, two gigs, and pond full of bullfrogs
The Mentor • I wanted to share my wisdom and experience. Turns out I have plenty to learn myself
Outdoor Life
One for the Diehards • Yeah, we’re obsessed. We wouldn’t have it any other way
This Happened to Me! • A duck hunter tries to wring one last shoot out of his season
Breaking Bass • Kristine Fischer risked it all just to make it as a pro kayak tournament angler. Now she just might be the rising star the sport needs
Off the Record • Many hunters dream of shooting a buck so big that it makes headlines. So why would a hunter who kills the trophy of a lifetime decline to have it measured and entered in the record books?
Woman on a Mission • Rue Mapp’s calling is to get more Black people involved in the outdoors. Her newest personal challenge? Learning how to hunt
Beasts of Burden • Free-roaming horses and burros are dying hard deaths on Western rangeland that’s already taxed by drought, wildfire, and habitat loss. So why don’t we do something different?
The Mule Deer Master • Michael Hirschi just might be the best public-land trophy mule deer hunter on the face of the earth. And he’s ready to share (some of) his secrets
The Record Chasers • These four anglers have devoted their lives to breaking fishing records that (almost) no one cares about
Crazy as a Sheep Hunter • “There is no half way. After his first exposure, a man is either a sheep hunter or he isn’t.” —Jack O’Connor
