Steve Rinella's Venison MeatloafJul 27, 2020RecipesA lot of hunters complain that they use up all their roasts andsteakstoo quickly and then get stuck with a mountain of ground meat. When I hear this, I start singing the praises of wild game meatloaf.Granted, the name of the dish sounds a little folksy and oafish, but you can do some innovative things with meatloaf that makes it seem worthy of a higher­ minded title. This recipe is based on my standardground meat mixture of 90% lean game meat and 10% pork fatback, bound with bread crumbs, oatmeal, egg, and milk and then flavored with an all-star cast of ingredients ranging from pine nuts to provolone.It’s fancy, but not overly so. Perfect for almost any occasion.

How to Spend More Time Outdoors with Your FamilyJul 24, 2024HuntingWhether you’re a hunter, angler, or outdoor recreator, you might find it tricky to navigate all your pursuits while balancing family time. There’s no better way to remedy this dilemma than by mixing the two.Some of my earliest memories in the outdoors involve me tagging along with my dad and grandfather on rabbit hunts or deer dog drives. I did little more than play with sticks or search for arrowheads in the dry or shallow creekbeds. Other times, my dad dragged my brothers and me camping at our family property to freeze or sweat through our sleeping bags. It was a lot of work for him, but it’s a huge reason my brothers and I have remained so involved outdoors.Now that I have a family of my own, I understand what my dad was doing. I also realize the effort and time that it takes to make the outdoors a priority with your family. It can be extremely fun and extremely tiring, but it’s always worth it. If you want to introduce your family to hunting or just lose cell reception for a weekend, here are a few ways toconsider getting outdoors with the rest of your crew.

AR-15 Workbench: How to Upgrade Your HandguardMar 6, 2025FirearmsThere are lots of reasons you might want a new handguard on your AR-15.A longer guard can be fitted with more accessories and offers more real estate to grip the rifle. Some handguards feature alternative attachment systems (M-LOK, Picatinny, etc.), and some reduce the amount of heat transferred from the barrel. Others are designed to be as lightweight as possible, while still others are designed to be practically bulletproof. Or, you might want to change your handguard just because you want a cooler-looking long gun.Whatever your reason, it’s worth doing the job yourself. Like working on cars or home appliances, there’s something satisfying about modifying your own rifle, and the process is relatively painless with a few simple tools.

Colorado Advances Petition to Ban Fur SalesMar 9, 2026Wildlife ManagementOn Wednesday, after a day of impassioned public comment and sometimes baffling deliberations, the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission voted 6-4 to advance a citizen’s petition to prohibit the lawful sale, barter, and trade of wildlife fur. This vote is a win for animal rights groups, but it’s far from an immediate ban on fur sales. Above all, it’s a confusing mess, so let’s dig in, find out what’s going on, and figure out where we go from here.Animal rights groups knew that Colorado Governor Jared Polis appointed several Parks & Wildlife Commissioners who are sympathetic to their cause, and so, in June of last year, these groups submitted a petition to the commission to amend Colorado’s regulations to outlaw trade in fur, with some exceptions.But Polis’s pick for Colorado Parks and Wildlife Director, Laura Clellan,responded with a detailed letterhighlighting the many problems with the petition: it couldn’t demonstrate any relationship between sales of fur and declining animal numbers, it didn’t acknowledge the existing strict regulations on take of furbearers, it cited misleading research that had nothing to do with Colorado, it conflicts with state statute, it would lead to the waste of pelts from animals trapped for nuisance control or crop protection, and its exceptions are badly defined and would create unenforceable rules.
