I still remember the first time I heard a pack of coyotes respond to an electronic caller at sunrise. That single moment sent me down a 12-year rabbit hole of testing every predator call, mouth call, and diaphragm call I could get my hands on. Since then, our team has field-tested more than 40 game … Read more

Our team spent the last 90 days testing eight of the most popular flight simulator yokes on the market, logging over 240 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12. After battling crosswinds in the Cessna 172, lining up ILS approaches in the Boeing 737, and buzzing virtual runways from Toronto to Tokyo, I … Read more

I still remember the morning I almost passed on a buck decoy at a yard sale back in 2014. I handed the guy forty dollars for a beat-up Flambeau Boss Buck with a cracked antler, set it up that November, and watched a 9-point walk right into bow range the same afternoon. That single moment … Read more

I spent the last six months testing ten of the most popular sim racing seats and cockpits on the market, logging over 200 hours across iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and Forza Motorsport. After burning through one office chair and developing a backache I could not shake, I realized the seat under me mattered as much … Read more

I pulled the trigger on a longbeard at 12 steps last April, and the only reason he walked into that final stretch was the decoy I had planted 20 yards out. That hunt changed how I think about turkey gear. After that season I spent three months testing decoys side by side across public land … Read more

When I first got into sim racing, I made the mistake almost every beginner makes. I blew my budget on a fancy direct-drive wheelbase, then wondered why my lap times refused to improve. The problem was not my wheel. It was my stock potentiometer pedals that gave me nothing but mushy, inconsistent braking. That frustration … Read more

I spent three months testing 15 of the best racing simulator cockpits on the market, and what I found surprised me. The difference between a $60 wheel stand and a $600 aluminium rig is not just about price. It changes how force feedback reaches your hands, how stable your seating feels during hard braking, and … Read more

After a wet October weekend chasing a bachelor group that refused to show before 4 p.m., I gave up on throwing corn by hand and rigged my first timer. That was seven seasons ago, and since then I have run more than thirty digital timers across 6V and 12V setups, swapping out units that died … Read more

Finding the best sim racing wheels in is harder than it looks. I spent the last three months testing 12 wheels across Logitech, Fanatec, MOZA, and Thrustmaster lineups, logging roughly 180 hours in iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Forza Horizon 5, and Gran Turismo 7. Some of these wheels completely changed how I drive. Others left me … Read more

I spent the last four months testing 10 of the best game feeders on a 240-acre property in central Texas, and the results changed how I think about supplemental feeding entirely. After burning through 1,800 pounds of corn and another 600 pounds of protein pellets, I learned what separates the feeders worth your money from … Read more
