Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up. The lenses of my 7×35 Bausch & Lomb resolved it. Antler! A 4 o’clock tangle became the bull’s hump — all but hidden by the bead on my .32 Special. After the carbine spoke I scaled the scarp and found blood on hoof-gashed snow. The elk lay 50 yards on. Stay low to glass, even briefly, to reduce your profile and steady the bino — preferably with two hands. To see better afield, you need a binocular. (Yes, binocular. Singular. Bi refers to its two barrels. A pair of binoculars serves no purpose unless you have four eyes.) Animals meet the hunter’s eye as patches of non-reflective earth-tones, bone and muscle melding texture with shadow. All pass as background unless they present something unusual: sun’s glint on eye or nose, motion in the flick of an ear. A binocular distinguishes what matters from what you’ll dismiss.

Iran has declared victory over the United States. The newly signed memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran is a diplomatic victory for Tehran and a “record of US failure.” Iran has also pointed out that the US ruling class has failed to accomplish any of its goals and military objectives, while regular Americans watched the price of fuel skyrocket as their bills became harder to pay. The 14-point document was signed remotely by President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, late on Wednesday and immediately entered force, according to Pakistani mediators, according to a report by RT. Iran has emphatically stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen “toll-free” as Trump has claimed. Trump Claims A Peace Deal Will Be Signed TODAY & Strait Of Hormuz Will Be Open To All “I emphasize again that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to the previous conditions,” Iran’s parliament speaker and chief negotiator in talks, Mohammad Ghalibaf, said. “Iran has the right to sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and of course, we will receive a fee for services.” Giving Iran Permanent Control Of The Strait Of Hormuz Will Be A Disaster For The Global Economy Tehran…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The NFL is facing two major issues as the 2026 season approaches: how fans are watching the games, and the ongoing discussion of playing surfaces.The former has been the subject of controversy, so much so that there was a hearing earlier this month regarding the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, as fans are paying up the wazoo to watch games exclusively on streaming sites.Former NFL tight end-turned-FOX analyst Greg Olsen, however, understands that the league is a money-making business. “I get it. From a high-level, nonbiased perspective, I understand it. I understand the frustrations and why this conversation is out there. The amount of different streamers and subscriptions, and I need to have cable to go along with my cable. I get all of that — I’m also a realist,” Olsen said recently to Fox News Digital.”While I may not have designed it this way and may not always agree with it, I do believe that we just have to operate within the rules in which we’re all living. This is the modern era, and I think people are going to adjust. I think networks are going to pivot and adjust, I…

With any air left in lungs likely heaving from adrenaline, the crew members may have blown bubbles, feeling which way the small pockets of air traveled against their face. Submerged in darkness and feeling around a cockpit becoming a watery tomb, the direction of the bubbles may have told the disoriented helicopter crew the direction of the only thing that mattered: up. An attack helicopter went down off the coast of Oman this month after a Shahed drone engaged with the aircraft. Though the Pentagon said that its two crew members were rescued by an unnamed surface vessel hours later, public details surrounding the incident remain sparse. The military’s investigation may ultimately determine what happened between the Apache and drone, but for experts and analysts, the event is a snapshot into how warfare is changing: attack helicopters, once the apex predators of the battlefield, must learn to navigate an ecosystem crowded with unmanned systems that are smaller, cheaper and deadlier than ever before. The interaction itself seemed an anomaly. Iranian Shahed-136 drones are typically programmed to fly to set coordinates before launch, which makes them adept at striking targets that do not move, according to Kelly Campa, Middle East Team…

“Jesus, Mary, get me there. Get me there.” More than 50 years after then-Capt. John Ripley rhythmically chanted that prayer for three hours as he swung back and forth under a North Vietnamese bridge to rig 500 pounds of explosives, the Marine is set to posthumously be awarded the Medal of Honor. But for the Ripley family, June 18th is more than just the date of the White House ceremony. “June 18, that’s the day my father’s brother, Mike Ripley, was killed,” Tom Ripley told Military Times. After three 13-month tours in Vietnam Mike Ripley was back in the U.S. in 1971, when the new AV-8A Harrier jump jet he was test flying crashed into Chesapeake Bay, killing him instantly.“Service is something that’s been a long tradition in our family,” noted Ripley. “I was a Marine, my brother was a Marine, obviously, my father was a Marine, my uncles, two of my nephews, my son is going into the Navy — he just graduated just a couple weeks ago from the Naval Academy.

Archaeologists have uncovered a 2,100-year-old sling bullet in Israel — inscribed with a sarcastic message aimed at enemy forces.The scientists found the bullet in a necropolis area along an ancient road at Hippos, once a prominent bishop’s seat during the Byzantine era. The city was known as Susita during the Hellenistic period, which lasted from 323 B.C. to about 31 B.C.The projectile, which officials date to the second century B.C., was carved with the Greek word, “Learn,” according to a press release obtained by Fox News Digital.COIN USED AS BUS FARE TURNS OUT TO BE 2,000-YEAR-OLD RELIC, ITS JOURNEY STILL A MYSTERYA picture of the ancient, oval-shaped lead sling bullet shows faint traces of the Greek script.Michael Eisenberg, Ph.D., a University of Haifa archaeologist who recently published his findings in the journal PEQ, along with colleague Arleta Kowalewska, believes the phrase was a sarcastic taunt. “At Hippos alone, 69 such projectiles have been identified so far, but this is the first in the world to bear the inscription ‘Learn,'” said Eisenberg, per the March release.”This represents local sarcastic humor on the part of the city’s defenders, who wished to teach their enemies…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former U.S. Amb. to NATO Kurt Volker warned the United States and its allies must “stop the sniping” and come together to end the conflict with Iran during a Saturday interview on Fox News.Volker appeared on “Fox News Live” to discuss the Trump administration’s comments about reevaluating its relationship with NATO.”I think this is completely wrong,” Volker told Fox News anchor Aishah Hasnie of the friction with NATO.”We did not inform allies. We did not consult with allies. We did not set up a clear goal, a common operation. We didn’t ask them. So, this went off the rails from the very beginning.”MORE KEY US ALLIES BLOCK MILITARY FLIGHTS AS IRAN WAR RIFT WIDENS WITH TRUMP Operation Epic Fury has strained some relationships between the United States and its allies.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! America’s war with the mullahs of Tehran is into its second month and it has already changed Donald Trump’s presidency in important ways. As the president considers how to navigate these new dynamics, it’s worth considering the experience of some previous presidents who entered office not expecting to be wartime presidents.Woodrow Wilson ended a four-cycle Republican winning streak by winning the three-way election of 1912. He did so because his two opponents, former president Teddy Roosevelt and incumbent president William Howard Taft, split the Republican vote. As president, Wilson embarked on an aggressive progressive domestic policy agenda. Things changed when World War One broke out in Europe midway through Wilson’s first term. Wilson then ran for reelection in 1916 promising to keep America out of the conflict, even using the slogan “He kept us out of war.” He did not keep that promise, though, as America entered the war in 1917, during the first year of his second term. Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932 to rescue the economy from the Great Depression. In his third term, he gained a new mission: fighting the Axis Powers and presiding over the largest military…

More than one hundred United States-based international law experts have warned that American strikes on Iran may amount to war crimes. These violations come only a few months after the U.S. committed obvious war crimes when it bombed civilian boats in the Caribbean, accusing them of “narco terrorism.” Experts were citing violations of the United Nations Charter, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and alarming rhetoric from senior officials as evidence of the U.S.’s war crimes. War Crimes Stacking Up: Three More Killed In US Attack On A Venezuelan Boat In an open letter published on Thursday by the Just Security policy journal, scholars from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and other institutions stated that the unprovoked U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran, which began in late February, is “a clear violation of the United Nations Charter.” We, the undersigned U.S.-based international law experts, professors, and practitioners, write to express profound concern about serious violations of international law and alarming rhetoric by the United States, Israel, and Iran in the present armed conflict in the Middle East. –Just Security They also stated that the conduct of U.S. forces and statements by officials “raise serious concerns about violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law,…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Authorities have reportedly uncovered a series of new leads stemming from the disappearance of an American college graduate who vanished while on a tropical vacation with her family 28 years ago. The circumstances surrounding Amy Bradley’s 1998 disappearance – and the subsequent investigation – have since been revisited in a three-part Netflix documentary series, titled “Amy Bradley is Missing.”Nearly one year after the documentary’s release, director Ari Mark has reportedly revealed a few new breaks in the investigation into Bradley’s whereabouts. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Mark revealed “two people of interest who have trafficking ties” have been questioned by the FBI relating to Bradley’s disappearance. FORMER FBI AGENT ROBERT LEVINSON’S DISAPPEARANCE STILL UNSOLVED AS BUREAU PRESSES FOR NEW TIPS While Mark did not say when the interviews took place, he added that it is a “pretty new” development and he believes it is “a big deal” in the case.

close Video NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Gold Glove-winning outfielder Cody Bellinger made a compelling case for catch of the year in the New York Yankees’ home opener against the Miami Marlins on Friday. The highlight-reel grab came in the ninth inning on a deep drive by Marlins infielder Xavier Edwards. Bellinger sprinted 62 feet and tracked the ball well but misjudged it at the last moment, and it glanced off his wrist. Mid-jump, he swung his arm around and snagged the ball at around knee level. Fans at Yankee Stadium erupted as Bellinger looked at his glove in disbelief, but the former Los Angeles Dodgers star wouldn’t call the acrobatic save his smartest play. DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR AND MAYOR BOOED AT RED SOX HOME OPENER”I should have caught it the first time,” he said, adding that he “squeezed” his glove too early. “I definitely got lucky. Threw my glove out there.”The Yankees are off to their second 6-1 start in three seasons after Aaron Judge hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the first inning to help the team secure an 8-2 win over the Marlins in the Bronx.
