Although it varies by state, spring turkey hunting season is just beginning in many parts of the country. Wild turkeys may be considered small game, but these big birds can weigh up to 25 pounds, providing a lot of food for a family. Though hunting for wild turkeys can occur in fall, it’s generally considered a spring activity, allowed in April and May. (Is hunting popular in your state?

The American rifle market features several manufacturers who have earned their position and popularity through decades of proven performance. Both directly and indirectly, the U.S. arms and ammunition industry generated over $90 billion in economic output in 2023 and employed over 384,000 Americans, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
