    Deer Calls

    Attention Callers! I bought my first one yesterday, a Primos grunt call. I've never used a call when hunting deer, and could use your advice. Any good videos you guys know of I can watch. Do calls only work in the rut, or can they be used anytime? Thanks B

    Am I being hunted?

    Here in western SD, we have quite a few Mt Lions. The area I'm hunting this year is prone to having a few of them. What kind of pistol would you guys carry for a possible quick dispatch of a big, nasty, ****** off cat.
