I have request for your assistance with an upcoming project. I’m planning an episode on December where I discuss so called “bullet failures.” I have a couple of examples I have experienced myself I’ll share with you in that episode, but I’d also like to do some crowd sourcing on this topic as well and share some noteworthy examples from the audience.
Have you ever had a bullet truly fail you on an animal?
If so, please email me john@thebiggamehuntingblog.com and share the details on what happened.

Sometimes you just find a rifle that just flat out works: it fits you well, it’s not excessively large or heavy, has a nice trigger, it’s easy to shoot accurately, it’s not finicky and doesn’t require an extensive break-in process, and seems like it loves all the ammo you feed it. Well, Bergara's new Wilderness Sierra rifle checks all of those boxes for me. I used that rifle on my recent moose hunt and I'm thrilled with how it performed. Here's a detailed break-down of everything you need to know about this new rifle!

I just made it home from an outstanding moose hunt in Colorado with my son! We had an amazing trip and I successfully took a cow Shiras Moose, which was a species I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to hunt because those tags are just so darn hard to obtain. Not only did I manage to pull a tag, but successfully punched it! Today’s episode is a detailed recap of our hunt, evaluations of some gear we used, and some of the lessons we learned along the way.
