Cam strikes me as the kind of person who doesn't read books, let alone writes them. But I seriously doubt a single one of his critics works as hard as he does to accomplish what he wants out of life. So I'll keep my criticism to a minimum.
Number of people who'd still be alive if their hunting party had applied the empty chamber rule: more than zero
Number of big game animals I would have killed but didn't because I had to take the time to chamber a round: zero
Always empty. I've heard too many horror stories to take a chance. I won't hunt with anyone who disagrees with me on this, and I'm perfectly happy if anyone I'm with wants me to double check that I don't have a round in the chamber.
My daughter loves the Meateater line-up of digital content, especially Cal's stuff. I approve. After giving her permission to watch Cal In The Field, I caught her watching HUSHIN. I put the kibosh on that real quick. You can't leave your kids alone with the internet for even 30 seconds.
Sure can. I sip it neat and let it swirl around a bit in my mouth. One or two sips is all I need. Takes me years to get through a bottle. Islay Scotches and wheated bourbons.
