Utah: What Hunters Should Know for 2022 Deer and Elk Hunts
SALT LAKE CITY — Several years of ongoing drought conditions have impacted mule deer populations across the state. Here are a few things people hunting deer and elk in Utah this fall should know.
Drought impacts deer by decreasing their body fat (because there are fewer plants and available food sources on the landscape). If the does have poor body fat and nutrition, it leads to smaller fawns, and those fawns have a decreased chance of surviving. If an adult deer has too little body fat at the beginning of the winter — especially a severe winter — it will often not survive the winter months. Recent deer research, conducted in Utah, has shown that the amount of fat deer have going into the winter has more of an impact on their likelihood to survive than the conditions and severity of the winter itself.

Review of the GunWatcher Website
Hello outdoors world!
For this segment I was asked to check out and review the website GUNWATCHER. With the explosion of the firearms market in recent years, there has been a serious increase in the number of websites dedicated to firearms sales. Needless to say I did not have high expectations as I have looked at several while shopping for my latest deer rifle, and found most of them to be useless and I really did not like using them. I thought they had too much going on on most of the page making them kind of hard to spend a lot of time on. I have always been a more hands on buyer, so that did not help. Read More

Gear Review: Remington 783
Welcome back outdoors world, thank you for stopping by! If you look back at an article I wrote early last year, you know after my research, I purchased a Remington Arms Model 783 7mm. I had high expectations for this gun, all I needed was some time in the woods with this firearm to confirm I’d made the right choice. Here is what I learned.

Service Review: Gun Watcher – Locate and Negotiate!
North Florida                   COORDINATES XY: Anywhere, Florida
I admit it – I am a budget minded shopper. From cars to homes, when it comes to big ticket items, I am a tireless negotiator who will argue, discuss, cajole, and sometimes whine in order to receive the best deal.
While some products are inarguable worth every penny spent, I have – at times – had to remind the “offended” seller/vendor that my need to negotiate for a lower price is nothing personal, it is just good business. After all, my money spends just as well in my pocket as it will in someone else’s. Read More

5 SHOT Show Products That Stood Out Among the Rest
SHOT Show is huge.
I mean GINORMOUS.
And to a gal that’s an admitted archery snob, a gun really, really has to stand out to grab my attention. I do love my hunting rifles and my S&W pistol but I don’t own any guns that get me all gooey inside.
So as I’m wandering up and down the 12.5 miles of aisles in the SandsExpoConvention  Center, I really scrutinized the products, looking for the few I knew would stand out among the rest. Read More

ATN-DNVM-4 Gear Review by Lindsay Alm
My husband and I recently took the ATN DNVM-4 digital night vision monocular into the field for testing and were quite pleased with what we found. The DNVM-4 is part of the ATN night vision family of entry level digital monoculars which also includes the DNVM-2 and DNVM-6 models. The three models are all the same product except for having different objective lenses that provide various zoom capabilities. The DNVM-4 is the mid-range model featuring a 42 mm lens delivering 4x magnification.
