On tonight’s episode--8 and 11 PM Eastern on Sportsman Channel--you’ll get an-depth look at how the new Model 783 bolt-action hunting rifle was conceived, designed and built. Then you’ll watch as Remington’s John Fink attempts to shoot the first-ever buck with the 783. Note: That 2-shot group you see me shoot at the range is for real. First time I had ever touched that particular Model 783 (and trigger), topped with a 3X-9X Trijicon Accupoint scope. My first 2 shots ever with the rifle, and with Remington’s new Hypersonic 150-grain Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded ammo. Extreme cold, and a stiff crosswind. Got it on the first take, man, I got 3 witnesses.

Season 2 kicks off tonight at 8 and 11 PM Eastern Time. Set your DVR and watch as I hunt for this 29-inch wide muley buck (I knew he was good, but not that wide). One lesson to take away from this episode: It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been hunting, a shooting opportunity can go south in a hurry. Stay as calm as you can, keep your wits and react, or big deer will get away from you in seconds. You’ll see what I mean. I love Wyoming, spectacular scenery and lots of game (you’ll see) and awesome people. If you want to hunt out there next fall, I highly recommend the fellow I hunted with on this show. [...]
