Happy Father's Day from The Hunting Wire

This Sunday is Father's Day, and it's a big deal in our industry, as it should be.

Many of you followed our recent partnership with The Green Beret Foundation, BansnerRifles, Swarovski, Pelican, Hornady, Custom Gun Coatings, GunBroker, fellow gun writer Shane Jahn, and one very surprised West Texas aoudad ram to bring you the story Hunting with Bob One Last Time.

The auction wrapped up last weekend, raising $6,025 for the Green Beret Foundation. But that's not the best part. Just as God intended, a rifle built by a son to honor his father will now go to a father who's honoring his own son. I can't share more just yet; it would spoil the surprise, but you'll hear the whole story soon enough.

In the meantime, we've got another "fatherly" feature that's a bit more lighthearted for you in this edition of The Hunting Wire, courtesy of Arizona's own Jeff Buchanan. Don't miss The Ghost Jeep.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, mentors, grandfathers, and father figures out there. You're the ones who showed us how to shoot straight, aim true, and walk with purpose.
