Video: Captive Deer Eats Bird
Deer have a much more varied diet than most people think they do, but it is still rare to catch the critters eating something strange on video. Believe it or not, deer will readily eat meat if desperate enough. Most of this strange carnivorous behavior is isolated to the winter months, when a deer may munch on a frozen squirrel or two, but the animals have been documented to consume live prey. In the below video, a deer eats what appears to be a swallow.
Keep in mind, deer lack the teeth of more accomplished carnivores and and chew meat much like they consume their usual forage. Read Read more »

How to Catch Bedding Bass
The best chance you'll have to catch the largest bass of your life could be off the bed for a quick photo and release. Here’s how to do it.
I might as well state up front that I know fishing for spawning bass is controversial, and this article is about doing it, not about defending it. It’s legal in most states and many studies have consistently shown that catching bass off the beds has no significant adverse affect on spawning success. Fish for bedded bass with a clear conscience and turn those fish back once you are done admiring them, and no one can fault you for it.
The...
Video: The Most Tactical Shotgun Reload
YouTuber DemolitionRanch is best known for his skill at manipulating shotguns in creative---and somewhat dangerous---ways, and his most recent video certainly has the wow factor.
Merriam-Webster defines the word tactical as "adroit in planning or maneuvering to accomplish a purpose." Going by that definition, this method of chambering a shell is certainly tactical, if not exactly easy to do. It makes you wonder how many attempts it took to make this perfect 30-second video.
