Putting sport back into shooting and predator hunting may mean a trip back in time!

How you choose and equip a predator hunting rifle affects where its bullets go and whether you can tap the rifle's potential when you're in the field.

Bullets never travel straight, even in still air, but the inconsistency of wind creates a harder task to overcome. That doesn't mean it can't be done.

It’s not the wind or spin-drift, the rifle, the optic or the bullet. It’s not voodoo, either. If you're missing shots on predators, what’s left?

You fire your shot. The deer doesn't fall. Here’s why, what to do next and how to make your next hit lethal.

Quality shows in a scope’s images, adjustments and durability, which is why discriminating hunters opt for the best optics they can afford.

Whether you're hunting predators or big game, a riflescope is an aiming device and not an observation optic.

Fast missiles fly flat and resist wind deflection except when they slow down. With the best predator bullets you want speed, power and accuracy at distance.

Radar shows bullets change shape when they fly far and fast, but Hornady fortunately has a fix.

Food plots in the South, cornfields in the Midwest — lots of deer hunters are used to hunting over food and crops. But you can find big deer out on the wide-open prairie, if you know how to hunt it.
