As an Alaskan hunting guide and avid outdoor enthusiast, I’ve had the pleasure of testing out the Thunderbolt Mountain Parka in some of the harshest conditions that the Last Frontier has to offer. During a 60-day excursion above the Arctic Circle hunting sheep, caribou, and Arctic grizzly bear, this jacket proved to be an exceptional piece of gear that I now highly recommend to all my clients.

One of the standout features of this jacket is its use of 133g PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation in the body and 80g in the arms and hood, which delivers the warmth you need to stay comfortable in extreme cold. But despite its insulating properties, this jacket still manages to offer excellent breathability, so you won’t feel weighed down or overheated during your outdoor adventures.

Another feature that I love is the high-cut hand pockets, which keep your hands warm and easily accessible, even when wearing a hip belt. And with adjustable cuffs, hem, and hood, you can ensure that you stay protected from the elements, no matter what the weather brings.

Overall, the Thunderbolt Mountain Parka has become one of my favorite pieces of gear for later seasons of my outdoor excursions. Whether I’m hunting, hiking, or just enjoying a day in the wilderness, this jacket has everything I need to stay warm, dry, and comfortable. So if you’re looking for a high-quality, reliable piece of gear for your next outdoor adventure, look no further than the Thunderbolt Mountain Parka.

Putting Mossberg’s New Optic-Ready 500 Turkey to the Test

The Optic-Ready 500 Turkey is one of three new pump-action shotguns from Mossberg. Red dots sights have been used on shotguns in 3-gun competition for decades and I know turkey hunters that put red dots on top of their turkey guns years ago as well, but Mossberg has raised the bar by lowering the red dot down into the receiver of the Optics-Ready 500 Turkey. Mossberg milled, drilled, and tapped the model 500 receiver to allow a small red dot optic to sit at almost the same height as the ventilated rib. I can see the fiber optic front sight in the window of the Holosun EPS I installed on the 500 Turkey 20 gauge.

TAKE THE SHOT?: Black Death In The Brush

It was late in the afternoon when it happened; the buffalo we’d been tracking for hours suddenly materialized in a brushy patch some 150 yards away. We’d been hunting all day in brush full of nothing, and then suddenly it was full of buffalo – all bulls and all looking huge like dump trucks on a residential city street. One bull in particular stared us down, his head lowered, glaring at us from underneath his massive brows. It’s that bull my PH (Professional Hunter) told me to shoot, setting the quintessential African shooting sticks up for me with a real sense of urgency. I laid my rifle across the sticks and stared back at the buffalo through the scope. There was a medium-thin screen of leaves and twigs obscuring him. My finger found the trigger…

Never Miss Again Part 1: Trigger Control

My first shooting experience was with a Benjamin .177 pellet rifle. Its pump had fallen off a generation earlier and was repaired with a bent nail in place of the missing pin. The rear sight was also lost to history. This rifle taught me two valuable lessons. First, I needed to get as close as possible to my target to improve my chances of hitting it. Second, I learned the importance of consistently placing my cheek on the stock the same way every time. I later graduated to a single-shot .22 bolt-action rimfire rifle that my grandfather used during the Depression. According to his journal, a squirrel was worth just one penny more than a .22 bullet. Missing was not an option for him.
