Trekking's Extreme Ultralite Backpacking & Travel Towels

No matter where you're going or what you're doing, pack up one or more of Trekking's Extreme Ultralite Backpacking & Travel Towels. It's great whether you're sweating or drying off -- and especially useful if you're involved in archery, boating, fishing, picniking, camping, hiking, shooting and more.

I tried the large 58” x 34” towel that weighs under 6 oz and packs into very small spaces. It’s large enough to wear as a sarong or wrap, and perfect for swimming or bathing! It makes an instant shawl for sun protection, and a wonderful travel blanket for the plane, car or train. I even tried it to cover my legs while paddling my kayak! For the serious backpacker, the 3 oz. half-size 34” x 28” towel is just right. Either size dries so fast, you won’t think you even had it wet.

For traveling minimalists, there’s an even smaller version weighing about 1.3 oz and about 19" square. Use it as a towel, neckerchief or headgear.
The Extreme Ultralite Backpacking & Travel Towel dries faster than any other towel on the market. Unlike microfiber towels that can take time to dry, the Extreme Ultralite Backpacking & Travel Towel dries quickly and is ready to use again in no time!

These towels offer superior odor resistance due to their Silver antimicrobial technology, so no need to worry about funky odors that come from bacteria. The Extreme Ultralite Backpacking & Travel Towel will stay clean and fresher between washings!

Both beautiful and functional, the Extreme Ultralite Backpacking & Travel Towel comes in vibrant patterns and colors that won’t fade. These towels range from $14.95 to $59.95.

Keep Your Gear Dry With SeaLife’s Moisture Muncher™ Packets and Capsules

 Being certain that your expensive electronics and camera gear will remain dry and completely operational when enjoying outdoor activities has always been a major challenge—that is, until now. With SeaLife Moisture Muncher Drying Agent packets and capsules, moisture can be quickly and easily removed from the containers that hold your valuables to prevent fogging, mildew and corrosion, saving you the heartache of equipment failure that leads to product replacement or, even worse, losing irreplaceable images on a camera.

Moisture Muncher packets are conveniently small, measuring 3 inches by 5 inches with a thickness of just a quarter of an inch, and they weigh one ounce. They are very easy to use; simply place a Moisture Muncher packet inside an airtight storage case, container or resealable plastic bag along with your personal items you want to keep dry. The area inside the container will quickly become a moisture-free zone. Each time the container is opened, the moisture level may rise, but when closed again, the Moisture Muncher Drying Agents go to work to remove any moisture that entered the container. The more you open the container in humid environments, the harder the Moisture Muncher will work.

The capsules work to remove moisture in smaller enclosures. Measuring 1 5/8 in length and 5/16 in diameter, each capsule weighs less than a gram. The capsules are for use inside of underwater camera housings and other small, sealed containers and dry boxes. Each Moisture Muncher can absorb up to 20 percent of its own weight in water vapor. Starting out blue in color, the Moisture Muncher crystals turn pink as they absorb moisture. Once they are completely pink, you’ll have a visual indicator that they are at maximum moisture capacity and need to be replaced.

The one-ounce Moisture Muncher packets come in a resealable package of three, and the capsules are available in a resealable package of 10. It is recommended that a one-ounce package be used for every cubic foot of container space. You can use more, depending on how well the container is sealed, how often the container is opened, and how high the level of humidity. Any unused portions should be kept in a small, airtight container to keep them fresh.

Available at first-rate dive shops and wherever SeaLife Cameras are sold, Moisture Munchers have a suggested retail price of $9.95 for three, one-ounce packs, and $9.95 for a package of ten mini capsules. To find a SeaLife authorized dealer near you, visit www.sealife-cameras.com. For additional information on SeaLife, visit www.sealife-cameras.com, call 800-257-7742, or write to SeaLife, 97 Foster Road, Suite 5, Moorestown, NJ 08057.

Berger Match VLD Field Testing Results

The VLD (Very Low Drag) design incorporates specific features that creates a bullet with a higher than normal BC. The primary design feature is a secant ogive. This sharp nose shape (secant ogive) allows the VLD to shoot flatter and be less affected by the wind. The VLD bullet has the ability to penetrate from 1 to 3 inches in the animal before it starts to expand. The VLD's delayed expansion allows it to open up deep inside the organs creating a devastating wound channel. This massive organ damage is too much for an animal to handle which leads to the animal dropping fast. 

Berger VLD bullets are available in 6mm, 25, 6.5mm, 7mm and 30 caliber. Berger VLD's are also available in 22 caliber but the 22 caliber are not recommended for use on big game.

For more information write to Berger Bullets, 4275 N. Palm Street, Fullerton, CA 92835 or by calling 714-447-5456. Or, check out their interactive web site at www.bergerbullets.com or send an email at sales@bergerbullets.com.

Hornady announces 375 Ruger loads

The engineering expertise of two American shooting sports legends collaborated once again to create practical, useful and hard-hitting large and dangerous game cartridges for the brand new 375 Ruger. Similar to the 30-06 in overall length, the 375 Ruger delivers performance that exceeds the 375 H&H — long considered a benchmark cartridge for African big-game hunters. The cartridge was designed from the ground up to provide greater knockdown power with a shorter cartridge from a standard action and a 20” barrel. Thanks to optimized case geometry and advances to propellant technology, the 375 Ruger improves on the velocity of the 375 H&H by 150 fps.

Hornady produces the 375 Ruger in three different loads, including a 270 gr. Spire Point Recoil-Proof, 300 gr. Round Nose and a 300 gr. Solid. Hornady took the conventional spire point design to a new level with their Spire Point Recoil-Proof bullet. This bullet has a longer give and less exposed lead which helps protect the bullet from deformation under recoil in rifle magazines.

For more information, check web site www.hornady.com.

Hornady introduces the 308 Marlin Express

It is an extension of Hornady’s LEVERevolution® line and combines Hornady’s revolutionary FlexTip™ technology with a profile similar to match bullets. New technology in the jacket/core construction offers extraordinary expansion, deep penetration and high weight retention. Combined with the most advanced propellants that deliver exceptional velocity at conventional pressure, the 308 Marlin Express is the pinnacle of performance from a 30-caliber lever gun cartridge, all with less recoil than the 308 Winchester.

For more information check web site www.hornady.com.

Hornady Updates the Classic 9.3 x 74R

The 9.3 x 74R was originally designed in Germany during the early 1900’s. Hornady offers a contemporary update on the load by offering a 286 grain Spire Point Recoil-Proof bullet loaded to factory specifi cations and designed to deliver controlled expansion and devastating terminal performance on big game from a double rifle, while regulating.

This load also features cartridge cases manufactured in-house to the same exacting tolerances of Hornady Match brass for maximum consistency.

Hornady’s new 30 T/C offers reduced recoil, smaller size and more performance.
Quite possibly the most technologically advanced cartridge ever developed, the new Hornady 30 T/C was specifically designed for Thompson Center’s new Icon bolt-action rifle. Built on the premise of optimal ballistics, Hornady has perfected the balance between case volume, bore volume and burn rates for both the 150 and 165 grain offerings. The 30 T/C is slightly smaller in capacity than the 308 Winchester, but delivers ballistic performance exceeding the 30-06. With a muzzle velocity of 3000 fps, the 150 grain load outperforms the 308 Win by 180 fps and outperforms the 30-06 by nearly 100 fps. The 30 T/C provides a 15 percent reduction in perceived recoil, ultra smooth feeding, full magazine capacity, a short bolt throw, longer barrel life and delivers full ballistic potential in a short action case. Similar to an ultra high precision race car engine, the 30 T/C delivers astounding performance with cutting edge design, propellants and a close collaboration between firearm and ammunition engineers.

Packaged in boxes of twenty, the item number for the new 30 T/C , 150 gr SST is 81004. The 30 T/C 165 gr SST is item number 81014.

MidwayUSA, a catalog and internet retailer offering Just About Everything SM for Shooting, Reloading, Gunsmithing and Optics, is pleased to announce the addition of a new load of shotshell ammunition from Federal Ammunition specifically designed for vintage side-by-side shotguns requiring a reduced pressure load.

This ammunition was produced specifically for MidwayUSA to the following specifications:

       12-gauge
     2 " inch shell
      7/8 oz. of #7 1/2 shot
    1,200 feet per second velocity
     5,000 pounds of chamber pressure

These specifications were designed to be kind and gentle to all older, break-open shotguns that are safe to shoot with modern ammunition.

Perfect for light weight game guns and for youth shooting or anyone sensitive to recoil. Please note - this ammunition will not function in most semi-auto actions. Using Product Number 613-940, a case of 10 boxes of shells may be purchased from MidwayUSA for $64.99.

REMINGTON AMMO

Remington's Wingmaster HD for Hi-Performance Hunting Ammunition  

Remington's Wingmaster HD, the ultimate in high-performance hunting ammunition.
Utilizing Remington’s proprietary composite of tungsten-bronze-iron metal (approved for waterfowl hunting by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), Wingmaster HD outperforms existing products with distinct and measurable advantages in pattern density and overall multi-range effectiveness.

With “Drop-Dead Better” Performance - Wingmaster HD exhibits the following advantages:

12.0 Grams/CC Pellet Density | The optimal pellet density for an ideal combination of pattern energy and dispersion without sacrificing pellet count at extended ranges – unlike some competitive loads.

Round, Smooth, True-to-Size Pellets | Wingmaster HD pellets are smooth and round, resulting in true flight for dense, efficient patterns with no flyers. Every pellet is consistent in size and shape and equally effective in performance.

Choke Responsiveness | Changing hunting conditions often call for an adjustment in pattern diameter. Wingmaster HD has a hardness rating similar to steel shot resulting in improved choke tube responsiveness – a benefit not previously obtainable with high density shot materials.

Equal Energy in Every Pellet | Because Wingmaster HD pellets are true-to-size and round, individual pellets maintain consistent velocity and energy for deep penetration at long range – better than competitive products of comparable density.

In recent years, non-toxic shotshell ammunition technology has advanced dramatically, forever changing the sport of waterfowl hunting. Remington Premier Hevi-Shot gave hunters the capability to effectively harvest birds with a degree of lethality never before attainable.

Winchester Introduces the Traacker Shotgun Load

Ever try to figure out why you didn't hit the clay? It's pretty difficult to do. That is - until now - with Winchester solving the problem. The company's new Traacker load gives a visual clue as to where the shot missed. How? Inside the wad is a donut-shaped cavity that holds about 1/8 ounce of shot and gives the wad enough mass that it will fly with the shot column for about 40 yards or more. This gives the shooter an immediate clue as to where the shot was in relation to the target. After about 40 or more yards, the wad veers off to the side.

The wad is offered in two colors - bright orange for use in lower light conditions, and black that's good against the sky when it's sunny.

The load is available in 2 3/4-inch 12 gauge # 7 & 8, and is about a dollar a box more than the regular AA loads.

Winchester Unleashes World’s Fastest, Most Powerful Modern Rimfire Cartridge

Coyotes, prairie dogs and other varmints, beware. Winchester® Ammunition has armed small game hunters with the most revolutionary rimfire cartridge in the company’s almost 150-year history – the .17 Winchester Super Magnum.
 
The .17 Win Super Mag offers the downrange performance of a centerfire cartridge at only a fraction of the cost. For the first time in history, hunters can expect pinpoint accuracy and devastating performance from a rimfire cartridge at ranges well past 200 yards.
 
The .17 Win Super Mag will initially be offered in three bullet types: a 20-grain plastic tip in the Varmint HV® (High Velocity) line, 25-grain plastic tip in the Varmint HE® (High Energy) line and a 20-grain jacketed hollow point in the legendary Super-X® line. Each .17 Win Super Mag bullet will far surpass the long-range wind drift and bullet-drop limitations of popular rimfire calibers like .22 Win Mag and .17 HMR, while depositing more than 150 percent more energy than both.
  
.17 Win Super Mag specifications:

Symbol Sub Brand Bullet Weight/Type Muzzle Velocity S17W20 Varmint HV 20-gr Plastic Tip 3,000 fps

S17W25 Varmint HE 25-gr Plastic Tip 2,600 fps X17W20 Super-X 20-gr JHP 3,000 fps
 
Each of the brand-new .17 Win Super Mag symbols will be offered in a 50-round box and 1,000-round case. The ammunition will be available at Winchester dealers by April 2013. For more information on the .17 Win Super Mag, visit Winchester.com in January 2013.
 
With a company heritage dating back to 1866, Winchester Ammunition was there for the taming of the American West, the Allied Forces’ victory in World War II and through the years, millions of fond memories made in the great outdoors and at the range.
 
Known as The American Legend™, Winchester is a global leader in sporting, law enforcement, military and personal defense ammunition production. Winchester continues to raise the bar with innovative products like Blind Side® waterfowl and PDX1® Defender™ personal defense ammunition.

Winchester Introduces Blind Side Waterfowl Ammunition - Stacked Fast & Deadly

Winchester® Ammunition has introduced one of the most innovative shotshell loads in the brand’s 144-year history. The new Blind Side™ ammunition combines ground-breaking, stacked HEX™Shot technology and the new Diamond Cut Wad in the most deadly Winchester waterfowl load available. Loaded with 100 percent HEX™ Shot, you get more pellets on target, a larger kill zone and more trauma inducing pellets than ever before, meaning quick kill shots.

“This is a superior duck and goose load that we’ve spent a tremendous amount of time designing and perfecting”, said Brett Flaugher, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “As the industry leader in innovative new products, this product is without question, a quality product that waterfowl hunters can shoot with confidence.” 

Key Features of Blind Side™ Ammunition
· High Packing Density
With the unique shape of HEX™ Shot, Winchester can literally pack the shot into the wad shot cup more efficiently to give the hunter up to 15 percent more shot pellets per shell.

· Hex™ Steel Shot
Six-sided, multiple-edged shot provides increased trauma and wound channels, resulting in fast kills and 250 percent more trauma. The shot is designed to hit waterfowl like high-velocity tumbling bricks—preventing over penetration and maximizing energy deposit and knock-down shock within the bird.

· Diamond Cut Wad
The Blind Side Diamond Cut Wad is designed to maximize pattern performance of Hex Shot, resulting in consistent patterns that increase the kill zone up to 25 percent. Blind Side™ HEX™ Shot and the Diamond Cut Wad system is also choke responsive, providing consistent patterns through improved cylinder, modified or full choke systems.

Drylok Super Steel® System
Important to duck hunters is keeping your powder dry. This system seals out water and moisture and is corrosion resistant for improved patterning and consistent velocities.

The Original Winchester Name is Back

The Morgan, Utah based makers of Winchester rifles and shotguns have announced the historic return to the original name given the brand nearly 150 years ago. In 1866 Oliver Winchester named his company - and the brand of rifles he was selling - Winchester Repeating Arms. Going forward all Winchester branded sporting firearms will fall under the Winchester Repeating Arms banner.

In the mid 20th century the usage was often shortened to just "Winchester." In recent years reference to Winchester firearms fell under the umbrella brand of Winchester Rifles and Shotguns. Today, with the launching of the new Model 70 and the entry of the new Speed Pump shotgun, it is fitting for the company to return to its roots. Other Winchester Repeating Arms products include the Super X3 autoloading shotgun (known for its extreme speed and reliability), the Super X Rifle (an autoloading centerfire rifle with impressive, bolt action-like accuracy), the Wildcat 22 bolt action, and the impressive line of Model 101 and Platinum over and under shotguns (made in Belgium).

DELTA WATERFOWL

Delta Waterfowl Is The Duck Hunters Organization and continues to evolve to serve the needs of ducks and duck hunters across North America. President Frank Rohwer lays out organization’s strategic plan in the Spring Issue of Delta Waterfowl magazine.

Duck Hunters Today: Creating and Safeguarding Opportunities
Area closures, access issues and regulations all impact hunters — in many instances, they stop hunters from enjoying time afield. Study after study has documented that quality access is the No. 1 issue for hunting participation. Yet rarely a week goes by when we don’t hear from our members and volunteers about a proposed restriction on access.

Delta Waterfowl is the voice of duck hunters in North America. Delta Waterfowl partners with hunters in communities across the United States and Canada to maintain access, often when local hunters had no other group in their corner. And Delta has been a leader on a host of issues ranging from scaup harvest regulations in the United States to eliminating the gun registry in Canada.

Duck Hunters Tomorrow: Recruiting Hunters
All of us want to see waterfowl hunting carry on for generations. Yet, with declining rates of hunting recruitment and participation, the long-term future for duck hunting is in question.

In 2001, Delta launched a mentored hunting program that morphed into today’s First Hunt program. First Hunt has become the largest waterfowl specific hunter recruitment program in North America. Delta’s program vision coupled with the dedication and hard work of our volunteer committees across the United States and Canada, ensures the next generation of duck hunters get a proper introduction to the duck blind. First Hunt participants are mentored by local volunteers, mentors who are passionate about duck hunting. The program provides skills, techniques, equipment, and access to opportunities to hunt ducks and geese.

Delta Waterfowl Foundation is a leading North American waterfowl conservation organization, tracing its origins to the birth of the wildlife conservation movement in 1911. Visit www.deltawaterfowl.org.

DUCKS UNLIMITED (DU)

2020 Ducks Unlimigted (DU) National Convention coming to Orlando, Fla. --83rd annual gathering will be held Sept. 16-19, 2020 at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek

Ducks Unlimited will hold its 83rd annual national convention Sept. 16-19, at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. The national convention is an annual gathering and business meeting for DU’s most dedicated volunteers, partners and donors.

This year’s event, postponed earlier in the year due to COVID-19 restrictions, will include insightful speakers, engaging entertainment and fun social activities during one of the most anticipated gatherings of dedicated conservationists from across North America. Attendees who want to explore central Florida during their visit will have access to special tours of Kennedy Space Center and Winter Park, along with opportunities for airboat rides through the headwaters of the Everglades, and more.

“Like the rest of the world, Ducks Unlimited has gone through some tough times in recent months," said Ducks Unlimited CEO Adam Putnam. “But we have much to celebrate as the world’s leader in wetland and waterfowl conservation. Throughout the pandemic, DU volunteers, staff and partners have doubled down on our conservation mission, so I am especially proud to welcome the convention to Florida to honor our volunteers who make our success possible across North America.”

DU’s 2020 National Convention highlights include a Thursday night welcome party at the Orlando House of Blues as well as DU President Doug Schoenrock’s first convention appearance as the organization’s 45th volunteer leader at Saturday morning's business session.

“I’m deeply honored and humbled to serve as president of the greatest wetlands conservation organization in the world. I look forward to celebrating our accomplishments and planning for our future with Ducks Unlimited’s dedicated volunteers and supporters in Orlando,” Schoenrock said. The gathering will conclude with DU's 83rd Annual National Convention Reception, Gala and Auction.

“Every year, our Ducks Unlimited National Convention feels like a family reunion,” DU Chairman of the Board Rogers Hoyt Jr. said. "It doesn’t matter when or where this annual reunion is held, it’s always a gathering of like-minded conservationists celebrating the past and looking toward the future. Make your plans to be part of it."

Special thanks to our proud partners First National Bank of Omaha for sponsoring this year’s convention.

Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 14.5 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

DU celebrates more than 5 million acres conserved in the United States

Ducks Unlimited is proud to announce the successful conservation of more than 5 million acres of vital waterfowl habitat in the United States. It’s a conservation milestone 30 years in the making. In 1984, Ducks Unlimited launched its U.S. habitat program, which was a logical extension of DU's longstanding mission to conserve and enhance North America’s most important wetlands to waterfowl. Thanks to decades of abiding by that single mission, Ducks Unlimited is now the world’s largest and most effective private, nonprofit waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization. DU is able to deliver its work through partnerships with private individuals, landowners, agencies, scientific communities and other entities.

Conserved acres are habitat Ducks Unlimited, with its thousands of partners, has protected, restored, enhanced or managed for waterfowl. DU considers habitat conserved if it is under an agreement that lasts at least 10 years or is owned by a public agency that assures its long-term dedication to wildlife.
DU restores or enhances habitat using direct management practices such as improving water control and hydrology or establishing native vegetation. Although DU often protects and restores or enhances the same land multiple times, those acres are only counted once.

Continentally, more than 13 million acres have been conserved in the United States, Canada and Mexico, thanks to the contributions of Ducks Unlimited’s millions of supporters.

FIRST LITE

Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Teams with First Lite to Fund Hunting's Future

Via an innovative new initiative that lets sportsmen designate the beneficiary of their conservation donations, First Lite is raising awareness of groups such as Backcountry Hunters & Anglers all while making supporting conservation as easy as ordering outdoor gear.

First Lite's "Round up for Conservation" program gives its customers the option not just of making donations to conservation via gear purchases but of selecting the recipient from a menu of national sportsmen's groups that share First Lite's commitment to sustaining and enhancing the lands, waters and outdoor opportunities enjoyed by American sportsmen.

MULE DEER FOUNDATION

The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF), in partnership with eleven different state wildlife agencies, the Jicarilla Tribe and the San Carlos Apache Tribe, sold big game hunting tags to raise funds for the management of mule deer, black-tailed deer, elk, bison, antelope, turkey and other game species. Over 93% of the money goes back to the state wildlife agencies for management programs or is spent directly on habitat projects.

Its goals center on restoring, improving and protecting mule deer habitat, which result in self-sustaining, healthy, free-ranging, and huntable mule deer populations. MDF achieves its goals through partnering with state and federal wildlife agencies, conservation groups, businesses and individuals to fund and implement habitat enhancement projects on both public and private lands.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELK FOUNDATION (RMEF)

About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:

Founded over 30 years ago, fueled by hunters and a membership of more than 200,000 strong, RMEF has conserved more than 6.4 million acres for elk and other wildlife. RMEF also works to open and improve public access, fund and advocate for science-based resource management, and ensure the future of America's hunting heritage. Discover why "Hunting Is Conservation™" at www.rmef.org or 800-CALL ELK.

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation awarded $127,686 in grants to improve wildlife water supplies, enhance elk habitat, fund research and assist youth hunting heritage programs in New Mexico. The grants directly affect 8,141 acres in Apache, Catron, De Baca, Grant, Lincoln, Otero, Rio Arriba, San Juan, Sandoval and Socorro Counties. There is also one project with statewide benefits.

Since 1985, RMEF and its partners completed 300 different conservation and hunting heritage outreach projects in New Mexico with a combined value of more than $21.7 million.

Rocky Mountain Elk foundation (RMEF) and Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation (SAF) Oppose Yellowstone Grizzly Ruling

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation disagree with a judge’s decision to vacate the delisting of the Greater Yellowstone grizzly population by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The ruling places the population back on the endangered species list.
This follows a 2007 decision by the Department of Interior (DOI) to delist Yellowstone grizzlies, a decision that was also litigated by environmental groups and overturned by the federal courts.

The DOI announced the removal of Yellowstone area grizzlies, numbering more than 700, from the endangered species list in 2017 based on sound science and millions of hunter dollars spent on researching and studying the bears. Idaho and Wyoming later announced intentions to hold conservative management hunts in the fall of 2018. Those hunts will not take place.

Environmental groups claimed the grizzly population in the Yellowstone region would be decimated if delisted and placed under state management. They made the same claims for the Northern Rocky Mountain wolf population which is 200 to 400 percent above minimum recovery goals, depending on the state.

"State-based management of wildlife is a key facet of the North American Wildlife Conservation Model. That is why the most healthy and robust wildlife populations in the world are found in North America. Grizzlies, like elk, wolves, deer and all other wildlife, should be managed by the states for their overall betterment. This ruling thoroughly frustrates that process," added Weaver.

Graham Sales Safaris Exhibiting at 2020 SCI Hunters' Convention -- Mind and heart open to nature

Experience free range safaris in South Africa and Mozambique!

Graham Sales has been a professional hunter since 2000 and received the prestigious "Uncle Stevie" award in 2004 and again in 2007 from the Professional Hunters' Association of South Africa. This award is an acknowledgement of excellent trophy quality. In addition, Graham received the "Professional Hunter of the Year" award in 2018.

Songimvelo Nature Reserve
Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
South Africa:
Graham Sales Safaris Pty. Ltd. has the exclusive hunting rights on South Africa's largest provincial nature reserve - Songimvelo Nature Reserve (the film "The Ghost and the Darkness" was filmed on the Reserve). Songimvelo Nature Reserve received "World Heritage" status during 2018. Graham Sales also has the hunting rights to the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve which shares a common open boundary with the world-renowned Kruger National Park. The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve forms part of the Greater Park area, which allows free movement of game across 432,000 acres of land. The area is made up of Mopani bushveld, acacia shrub, watering holes and riverbeds that attract a huge variety of game including elephant, buffalo, zebra, Blue Wildebeest, kudu and several other antelope. These in turn attract several predators, such as lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena, which makes this a popular choice for a 'real' African wildlife experience.

Clients will experience a free-range safari with Graham Sales Safaris. Their tented Safari camp is located on the banks of a dry riverbed which adds to the whole African Safari experience.

Mozambique:
Graham Sales hunt 988,000 acres in pristine wilderness in the Niassa province - northwestern Mozambique. The area is situated north of the small town, Marrupa and south of Block C - Niassa Reserve. The concession is flanked on the left by the Ruambeze and on the west by Lureco rivers. The main habitat is Miombo woodland with some open savannah areas, seasonal wetlands and riverine forests along the many water courses, rivers and streams. The landscape is scattered with spectacular rock formations and mountains, many of them have thickets of montane forest growing in the narrow gullies that extend up the smooth-sided rock faces. The magnificent scenery combined with the vastness of the area, abundance of game and pristine nature makes this without a doubt one of Africa's last great wilderness areas. The Marangira area is home to prolific wildlife, including elephants and more than 60 of the critically endangered African Wild Dog. Leopard are in abundance, lions and hyenas are common with big numbers of buffalo, Roosevelt Sable, Lichtenstein Hartebeest and Livingstone Eland including three endemic species, Crawshey's Zebra, Johnston's Impala and Niassa Wildebeest.

In all their areas, Graham Sales clients will have exclusivity and will enjoy a true safari experience with experienced professional hunters complete with skilled camp and field staff that always have a smile on their faces. Those attending the 2020 SCI Hunters' Convention can meet and talk with Graham Sales and Armand Theron at their SCI booth #1438 in Reno, Nevada, February 5-8, 2020.

LEICA BINOCULARS

Leica's Aquadura Hydrophobic Coating Provides Significant Performance Enhancement In Any Weather

Leica's AquaDura hydrophobic lens coating meets the high demands of hunters, birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts around the world. This new coating, currently available on the new Ultravid HD binoculars and the coming new Televid 82 mm and 65 mm spotting scopes, provides significant performance enhancement in adverse weather conditions.

The AquaDura˙lens coating allows water to run off of external lens surfaces. The coating keeps lenses cleaner as dust, dirt and oily fingerprint residues will no longer adhere to the lens surfaces. This new coating will prove ultra-useful in the field as it will allow the user to spend more time viewing the subject and less time wiping off and cleaning the optical lenses.

For over 158 years Leica has led the industry in producing the most innovative, highest performing optical instruments in the world. This tradition continues with the introduction of the new Ultravid HD binoculars and Televid spotting scopes with the AquaDura˙ coating.

Headquartered in Germany, Leica has been an acknowledged leader in the optics industry for over 150 years. Throughout that time, the company has built a solid reputation for producing high quality, durable products due to their commitment to optical perfection and mechanical precision.

Leica Began Manufacturing Binoculars Over 100 Years Ago

In May 14, 1907 the first binocular designed by Ernst Leitz went into serial production. After three years of research and many different design changes, the 6x18 binocular was ready for production in the Leitz/Leica facility in Wetzlar Germany. Therefore, this year Leica is proud to celebrate its 100th anniversary of binocular production.

Two initial patents, No. 191758 and No. 192762 were dated June 14, 1906 and September 25, 1906 respectively and were the basis for the development of the first Leica binocular. However, after continued research and the desire to improve the design, the Leica engineers decided to design the binocular housing out of a very light weight and durable material called Magnalium (a mixture of Magnesium and Aluminum). The drive for perfection also continued as engineers patented a better protection system for the inside of the binoculars against dust and moisture. The final production of the first binocular was further delayed by a final patent that allowed for a new and innovative mounting of the prisms.

Founded in 1849, Leica's capabilities in producing Legendary Lenses provided the foundation for the long history of precise, high performance sport optics products.   From the initial binocular introduction in 1907, Leica continues to develop innovate cutting edge products that sets today's standards for optical performance and field reliability.

Leica will continue its historical platform of providing the most state-of-the-art, high performance sports optics products available. New innovative products are continuously in the pipeline and will be introduced over the coming years. Headquartered in Germany, Leica has been an acknowledged leader in the optics industry for over 150 years. Throughout that time, the company has built a solid reputation for producing high quality, durable products due to their commitment to optical perfection and mechanical precision.

Leupold Increases Number of Binoculars With Natural Armor Coating

Leupold^® has expanded the number of binoculars protected by its most popular armor coating, natural.  Leupold’s Green Ring^™ Cascades^™, Olympic^™ and Pinnacles^™ series are now available with natural armor coating.

Blending well with most camouflages, the natural armor coating provides protection against the bumps and knocks that occur in the field.  The coating protects the binoculars from the elements and provides a sure grip in all conditions. Available in 8x42mm and 10x42mm models, the Cascades have a roof prism design, and feature multi-coated lenses and phase coated prisms to enhance clarity, color fidelity and contrast while delivering a bright sight picture from dawn to dusk.

The Olympic binocular features aluminum enhanced, phase coated prisms.  Combined with fully multi-coated lenses, the Olympic’s lens system optimizes image brightness, clarity, contrast and color fidelity.  Olympic Series binoculars with natural armor coating are available in 8x42mm, 10x50mm and 12x50mm.

Featuring interchangeable eyecups, the Pinnacles series binoculars have L-coated^™ prisms and silver enhanced, phase coated prisms to reduce glare.  The binoculars are available in 8x42mm, 10x50mm and 12x50mm models with natural armor coating.

Green Ring binoculars are completely waterproof and feature Leupold’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Leupold Golden Ring Binoculars With Switch/Power Technology

Golden Ring^® roof prism binoculars with Leupold’s^® exclusive Switch/Power^™ Technology allows hunters to make instant transitions between magnification levels while keeping game centered in the view, with minimal need to readjust focus.

 “With Switch/Power Technology, hunters will be able to change from 7x to 12x or from 10x to 12x with the flip of a switch,” said Mike Slack, marketing communications manager for Leupold.  “When zoom binoculars move up in magnification, the visual field narrows and doesn’t remain in focus – this can cause the hunter to lose sight of game.  Switch/Power Technology allows users to experience a full, immediate power setting transition without having to lower the binocular.  No other binocular has this capability.”

With Switch/Power Technology, users can go from power settings of 7x to 12x or from 10x to 17x, depending on model.  Regardless of magnification, the object being viewed remains in the center of the visual field between transitions.  Other multi-magnification binoculars can be very large and heavy, or require changing each eyepiece individually.  The 7/12x32mm and 10/17x42mm Golden Ring binoculars with Switch/Power Technology are 5 and 6 inches in length and weigh only 21.4 and 23.9 ounces, respectively.

To ensure the highest image quality, the binoculars feature multicoated lenses for superb brightness, resolution, contrast and color fidelity.  The binoculars have phase coated roof prism and L-coat^™ enhanced auxiliary prisms that give hunters a sharp, distinct image.

Available in both 7/12x32mm and 10/17x42mm models, the binoculars come with  contoured, side-flared eyecups for normal use as well as flat, padded eyecups for use with eyeglasses.  Rugged and waterproof, the binoculars are covered by Leupold’s Full Lifetime Guarantee.

For more information on the Leupold Golden Ring binoculars with Switch/Power Technology or to locate a local Leupold dealer, contact Leupold & Stevens, Inc., P.O. Box 688, Beaverton, OR 97075-0688; (800) LEUPOLD; or check web site www.leupold.com.

Leupold Green Ring Yosemite Model Binoculars

In addition, the binoculars also feature multi-coated optics for a bright sight picture with the contrast and color fidelity necessary for an optimal view, while the porro prism design of the Yosemite 8x30mm binocular allows for greater depth perception. 

Ergonomically designed for comfort and balance, the binocular has a large focus knob and diopter that are easily adjusted by small, large or even cold hands.  Available in three colors (red, black or natural), the Yosemite’s rubber armor coating provides protection against the elements and a sure grip, wet or dry.

STEINER BINOCULARS

Steiner's New Predator Xtreme Roof-Prism Binoculars

Continuing to produce state-of-the-art optical innovations that outperform its competition, Steiner introduces the new Predator Xtreme roof-prism binoculars, which offer a special proprietary lens coating that filters light and adds contrast at the peak sensitivity range of the human eye. Steiner has been perfecting its high-contrast lens coating for many years and the innovative Dynamic Coating Technology available on the new Predator Xtreme represents the sixth generation of the company‚s exclusive contrast-enhancing optics.

Steiner's Predator Xtreme binoculars overcome the challenges associated with high-contrast coatings, which previously resulted in decreased brightness, reduced light transmission or altered colors. The Dynamic Coating Technology filters out a small amount of light in the middle of the visible color spectrum, making your eyes more perceptive to certain colors, especially in low-light conditions. The increased perception occurs because the human eye reacts differently to different color wavelengths. The end result is that browns, reds and other wildlife colors found on most game animals pop out against green backgrounds.

A new ergonomic design employs a rigid polycarbonate chassis that is extremely durable and waterproof. The binoculars are positively pressure-purged to 14 psi with dry nitrogen and argon gases for absolutely leakage-free performance in all weather conditions.

The Predator Xtreme lineup features 8x22, 8x42, 10x26 and 10x42 models. Each binocular comes equipped with a padded travel case, removable neoprene rain-guards for the ocular lenses and objective lens caps. A padded neck strap is included with the 42mm models for comfortable carrying and viewing at all times.

Available at retailers nationwide, the suggested retail price for the new roof-prism Predator Xtremes are 8x22- $179; 8x42 - $399; 10x26 - $199 and 10x42 - $499.

For more information, contact: Steiner Optik, 920 54th Avenue, Suite 200, Greeley, CO 80634; call (970) 356-1670; or visit the company web site at www.steiner-binoculars.com.

New Book from Gun Digest Highlights Legendary Gunsmith P.O. Ackley by Fred Zeglin

A new book from Gun Digest Media, P.O. Ackley: America's Gunsmith by noted author and gunsmith Fred Zeglin, takes the most comprehensive look ever into the life and work of P.O. Ackley, the eminent gunsmith, barrel maker and cartridge developer. The book isavailable exclusively at www.gundigeststore.com.

In P.O. Ackley: America's Gunsmith, Zeglin's extensive research highlights not just the history of cartridge and rifle development, but a never-before-seen look at a humble man who influenced nearly everything we know about shooting and ballistics today. Ackley's ideas on reloading, rifle accuracy, safety, cartridge choice, and wildcat use are just as relevant for modern "gun cranks" as they were in Ackley's heyday.

Most shooters today know P.O. Ackley because of his "Ackley Improved" cartridge designs. But those cartridges are only the tip of the iceberg. Zeglin uses this work to share the most complete collection of accurate dimensions, loading data and history for the lifetime of cartridges created by Ackley, the most influential gunsmith inamerican history.

This hardcover, 256-page study of P.O. Ackley's work is the first in Gun Digest Media's Heritage Series celebrating the iconic guns, designers and manufacturers who shaped today's firearms landscape. The book is illustrated with never-before-seen photos from personal archives of Ackley's friends, family, and associates -- a veritable who's who of giants from the firearms industry who went on to shape the shooting sports as we know it. From the dusty, oil rag-covered machine shops of Ackley's early years, to stunning modern-day firearms chambered in Ackley's timeless wildcats, the full-color center section brings to life this colorful character and his accomplishments in gunsmithing and cartridge development.

P.O. Ackley: America's Gunsmith is available at www.gundigeststore.com or by calling (855) 840-5120 (product number R3744).

BURLESON SPORTING COMPANY

Bug Out Clothing

I, and thousands of others like me, attract every kind of insect on Earth. And they bite, hard, and swell and itch and drive me crazy. But I finally found a solution to this problem - and that is wearing special insect-proof clothing made by Bug Out.

I sampled the head cover, jacket and pants while out hunting and came away without one bite!! In the meantime, some who laughed at the Bug Out clothing placed over my regular street clothes were screaming and running all over the place away from the tiny insects that were chewing on their flesh and making them bleed - while, for a change, it was I who had the last laugh.

The bug repellent clothing is made of 100% polyester and even the no-seeums couldn't get through while I was taking photographs and not being disturbed at all. Best of all, this clothing could be worn over any clothing beneath it; insect repellent could be used without harming the material, and it was used and tested in the military.

The relaxed fit design features extra long sleeves, a three position pull-over hood with draw strings that provide a complete enclosure for your head, ears and neck. Easy to see through and pull back if necessary. The draw string with cord lock allows you to adjust the bottom of the jacket to provide a secure and comfortable fit around your waist. It even comes complete with a pouch pocket for your hands or for storing items. Available in Olive Drab, sizes samll, medium, large, extra-large, and extra extra large.

Premium Bug Out Pants sell for $20.00
The relaxed fit design features an elastic waist band that comfortably fits under the jacket when the draw string is pulled and the cord lock is secured, adding another element of protection. The pants feature elastic ankle cuffs that fit securely around your boots. It comes in the above sizes.

The Jacket:

This unique design provides you with the ultimate in head and neck protection. Just slide your arms through the elastic straps, put the headnet on and you are ready to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. Its compact size makes it great for easy and carefree storage; and since it uses the same original no-see-um mesh with micro fibers you can relax in comfort knowing that Bug-Out is at work guarding you against biting and stinging insects! This is one of the best face masks available!

Size: One Size Fits All
Color: Olive Drab
 
Bug Out Outdoorwear helps guard against biting and stinging insects like no-see-ums, blackflies, mosquitoes, gnats, ticks - even the nymph stage of the deer tick. So whether you are digging in the garden, fishing at the lake, relaxing in the backyard or doing any other activity that requires you to be outdoors; Bug-Out Outdoorwear offers you ultimate in bug protection. Now you can fully enjoy your time outdoors without the use of potentially hazardous, dangerous, game spooking chemicals, sprays or repellents. The Bug Out System keeps biting and stinging insects out and lets air flow in. The relaxed fit design guarantees you will have time to enjoy the outdoors instead of the outdoors enjoying you.

Bug Out Outdoorwear uses a durable, lightweight see-through mesh that is 100% chemical free and is made of a chemical resistant material. This means if you want added protection you can apply deet or permanone to the material and it will not deteriorate the fabric, unlike some competitors' suits. Not only does the material help guard against biting, stinging, and crawling insects, it is proven to even help guard against the nymph stage of the deer tick, a most aggressive biter that causes Lyme Disease.

The Bug Out System has even passed the U.S. Military's extensive testing and approval process. It has been used in Somalia, Africa, Bosnia, Haiti and South America. Bug Out Outdoorwear is the preferred brand of insect protection. The patented design creates a total enclosure that protects you...but still allows for visibility and comfort.

Girls with Guns® Clothing Improves Fall Line of Women’s Hunting Apparel and Accessories

As an answer to the limited selection of technical women’s hunting gear, Girls with Guns (GWG) Clothing has listened to customer feedback and is excited to offer an updated hunting line for female hunters.

The feedback GWG received was crucial to the design phase of the Fall 2016 hunting line. Removing the overtly feminine color accents, improving the fit of the plus-size offerings and adding new accessories and outer layers to the GWG signature layering system were a result of listening to fellow female hunters and over 300 days of field testing.

“Female hunters have been at the mercy of sized-down men’s gear or extra-large youth sizes,” said Jen O’Hara, co-founder of GWG. “Even as women became the fastest growing segment in the outdoors industry, technical hunting manufacturers were slow to embrace their newest customer demographic.” Recognizing the needs of their fellow female hunters, O’Hara and co-founder Norissa Harman debuted their first generation of GWG Huntress technical hunting apparel in 2014.

“Built by women for women, with a fit designed for a woman’s body and the field functionality to rival any men’s brand, the 2016 GWG Huntress collection challenges all female hunters to take their passions to the next level,” said Harman. “Whether it’s a light or mid-weight layering system, an insulated waterfowl set, or a hunt-enhancing outer layer, GWG Huntress has you covered. And, with a price point well below any other women’s brand, you’ll save big without sacrificing quality or warmth.”

GWG’s new partnership with Muck Boots™, features 100-percent waterproof, pull-on boots with negative-forty-degree insulation in Mossy Oak® Break-Up Country® with a pop of teal helps Girls with Guns Clothing keep you covered from head to toe.

PROIS CLOTHING FOR WOMEN

Prois® Introduces Olann Merino Wool Base Layer Line in New Veil® Cumbre™ Camo Pattern

Prois®, the top name in ladies high-performance technical hunting apparel, is now offering their Olann line of women's base-layer hunting garments in the Cumbre™ camo pattern. Cumbre™ is a camo system jointly developed by Veil® Camo and Prois® to be THE exclusive camo pattern for women's outdoor apparel and accessories.

The Olann base layer line features 96% merino wool content with a 4% Lycra blend. This material construction offers a perfect fit while allowing for full, non-constrictive range of motion so essential to hunting. It also conforms to a wide variety of body types. Since merino is a highly adaptive, exceptionally soft wool that keeps you cool in warm temperatures and is highly efficient at trapping body heat in cold weather, it is the ideal four-season base layer material. Unlike synthetic fibers, merino wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture and still feel dry—essentially wicking away moisture from your skin so it can evaporate. The merino wool found in Olann base layer garments is also naturally anti-microbial, which minimizes odor, and since the fibers are ultra-soft, they don't itch like conventional wool.

Olann Merino Wool Base Layer Line

1/2 Zip – Worn solo in warm weather or as an upper body foundation for cold conditions, the 1/2 Zip has a long torso cut for an optimal, athletic fit plus thumbholes in the sleeves. For hot, early season conditions, the zipper can expose the upper torso for maximum ventilation.
Bottom – Featuring an athletic profile and a wide elastic waist band for support, the Olann bottom keeps legs warm without the bulk—essential for climbing and long hikes.
Tank – For exceptionally warm-weather hunting or as an added "core warmth" layer, the Olann Tank stands ready. The long torso, athletic fit, and "racerback" design offers warmth and superior moisture control while allowing upper body freedom for shooting.
Bra – Built with racerback athletic styling and a wide elastic band, the Olann Bra provides the kind of active support and all-day comfort needed on backcountry adventures. Additional benefits include moisture and odor control, and four-season performance for hot or cold climates.
Glove Liner – Form-fitting with plenty of stretch, the Olann Glove Liners work as stand-alone concealment gloves in warm or slightly cool conditions or as an added-warmth liner glove inside heavy-weight gloves in frigid weather. They are quick to dry and provide insulating warmth even when wet.

A high-quality base layer is essential to any hunting garment system, whether you're hunting in warm or cold weather. The new Olann base layer system provides that "any condition, anywhere" performance experienced women hunters demand due to the multi-functional Veil® Cumbre™ pattern.

 About Montana Decoy
Created in 1996 by Jerry McPherson, Montana Decoy got its start from an average hunter trying to improve his bowhunting success. Tormented by an uncooperative bull elk, McPherson returned to his truck, thinking about how he could design a packable decoy without adding bulk and weight. McPherson got inspiration from folding band saw blades. He utilized the same twist-and-fold concept to hold open the decoy image.
Montana Decoy offers turkey, elk, whitetail, mule deer, antelope and predator options along with a Moo Cow confidence decoy. All share the same ease of use, light weight and ultra realistic HD photography.

Montana Decoy Has a New Line of Turkey Decoys

RedHead Reality Series Decoys: Gobblers fooled by new turkey trio

Turkeys of a wild feather tend to flock together. Wise hunters deploy decoys to bring wary old gobblers into shooting range. While the use of decoys is no new tactic, turkey hunters are constantly on the lookout for ways to make their spread more efficient and effective. That’s why the release of the ultra-realistic RedHead Reality Series Turkey Decoys will have hunters flocking to Bass Pro Shops this spring. 

Each lightweight decoy in this revolutionary line is constructed of flexible and durable Life Rubber—making them 40% lighter than comparable models. Each bird readily perches atop a tough, two-piece, metal folding stake, conjoined by a shock-cord. This cord keeps the stake sections together at all times—when in use and when stored—and reduces the time for decoy set up in the field.

The RedHead Reality Series Decoys also feature ultra-realistic painted heads and incredibly detailed feathers that truly bring the birds to life. They utilize a Life Valve on the decoy’s bottom that aids with easily popping the decoy back into shape if it gets smashed, creased, or dented during transportation and storage. This is a valuable bonus feature when approaching gobblers require rapid decoy deployment.

The first choice for hunters wanting to create their own flock is the new RedHead Reality Series Ol’ Wet Hen Turkey Decoy. Known for dominating the forests and field, this Ol’ Wet Hen Turkey Decoy has the look—and posture—of a real boss hen. For turkey hunters wishing to double the appeal of life-like hens, the Ol’ Wet Hen can be accompanied by another feathered female—the new relaxed Brood Hen Decoy. This decoy is positioned in a receptive breeding posture that every gobbler readily recognizes. The Brood Hen Decoy can be placed directly on the ground for a more submissive setup, or can be paired with a stake for increased visibility.

Hunters wanting to present a bigger—and more antagonizing—wild turkey flock can incorporate the new RedHead Reality Series J-Bird Turkey Decoy. This jake decoy, shaped in the popular 1⁄4 strut posture of a young, cocky jake, relaxes hens but infuriates gobblers. This true-to-life jake is complete with a snood and multi-strand beard protruding from the chest. Seeing this J-Bird could be the last straw for a strutting gobbler who may otherwise hang-up out of range.

There’s even better news for undecided hunters who are looking for a bargain. The new decoys are offered in a RedHead Reality Series Trigger Turkey Decoy 3-Pack containing the Brood Hen, J-Bird and Ol' Wet Hen. Another option is the RedHead Reality Series Breeding Pair Turkey Decoy Combo—a package that pairs up the J-Bird and the Brood Hen to present a breeding pair. Retail prices range from $49.99 for a lone hen decoy to $139.99 for the three bird flock.

FOOD - For Animals & Humans

Food For Animals

Terminal Attraction - Hunting Plot Basics by Todd Amenrud

If you manage your property for whitetails you probably plant some of your food plot acreage right now, during the late summer or fall. Much of what will be planted during this time are crops that are meant for attraction. Some of the plants also have great nutritional value as well, but most hunters really don't think about that, they want a plot that will give them harvest opportunities. For this type of "hunting plot," plant selection, plot design and timing are very important determinants for success.

Deciding "what to plant" and "plot design" go hand in hand. In my view, variety is a noteworthy key when designing a hunting plot. Because of all of the changes happening in the whitetails' world during the fall, you should never "put all of your eggs in one basket."
With a "hunting plot" the goal is to draw them in so you can kill them, or to use it as a magnet so they can be intercepted on the way to the plot. In these plots it's best to "leave the table set" for them throughout the season. If you just plant one thing you are limiting the attraction timeframe to only when that specific crop is at its peak. With more choices, more plants will peak at different times.

I like to plant in sections, or better yet, strips. Obviously plot design, shape and size has everything to do with which (strip or section), but if the situation allows, I like to plant strips as wide as my sprayer's swath. This way it's easy to treat Roundup Ready crops or spray selective herbicides. I may divide a plot into two, to as many as six sections, depending upon how large the plot is. You must have adequate acreage to do this "variety tactic" justice. For instance if you have only a 1⁄4 acre plot you're probably better off planting just one blend. Otherwise, there's not going to be enough of any one cultivar to keep them coming back. When a plant turns attractive they'll wipe you out too soon.

Depending upon where you are in the country, some of my "hunting plot" choices are spring planted items - for instance; if I have enough acreage, corn will be on the menu (or a corn-soybean blend). I might also add some annual legumes like soybeans or iron & clay peas. During the late summer planting season, three of the main plant types I will choose will be brassicas, perennial legumes and cereal grains. With these four types of plantings (a perennial with clovers and chicory, corn, several varieties of brassicas and a blend of cereal grains) there will be a plant type that will keep them coming to the site from before bow season starts until the season ends or the plot runs out of food. These four choices are simple and easy to plant. I may plant a number of other crops, but these are definitely the mainstays to a good hunting plot.

Day in and day out clovers can be very attractive to whitetails and at certain times chicory is one of the best magnets I've ever seen. Clover Plus is the blend I will typically choose for this job because the New Zealand clovers are more attractive and produce more leaf matter then our US clovers do. Here in the south, Premium Perennial or Perfect Plot may be a better choice because of the flush of annual brassicas for the fall hunting season. The following year I may over-seed to fill in the spots vacated by the brassicas with straight Clover Plus.

With the corn and soybeans we have another angle covered. The carbohydrates that the corn produces will attract when cold temperatures arrive and depending upon what time of the season it is they will consume the soybean leaves early and the dried beans during late season.

Brassicas are, in my view, the best deer food God has ever created. They are a great choice for when cold temperatures convert the plant's high levels of starch to sugar - when that happens - look out! I have not seen a better late season draw.

Whitetails will react differently to brassicas in various areas and habitat types. Some brassicas may be better off for a wintertime food source in a "nutrition plot" than a source of attraction for hunting time. Test different brassicas and see for yourself. Deer Radish and Winter Bulbs & Sugar Beets are my favorite crops for hunting time attraction.

Lastly, Outfitter's Blend, Last Bite, Trophy Oats, or a blend with a high ratio of cereal grains is the final piece of the puzzle. The energy that plants like oats, wheat or triticale produce will be desired by both bucks and does during the fall. Timing your planting is important with these plants since most cereal grains are generally palatable during their first 45 to 60 days of growth. You want to plant them so that are at the peak of their attractiveness when you want to hunt the site.

The variety of crops is also important because of the wide range of conditions your herd will face. During early season as an example, they may be eating your perennials heavy, but then a twenty degree temperature drop occurs and they change to your cereal grains. It's best to be prepared - if you have adequate acreage to devote you should have a plant available that covers their needs regardless of the time or the conditions.

I'm not saying that you are going to sit on the edge of your hunting plot and knock over a trophy buck standing in it. You may need to set up an ambush to try and intercept him on his way to the plot several hundred yards off. However, if you do things right and don't put pressure on the spot, you can harvest Pope & Young size whitetails right in your plot. Regardless of where you set up for the ambush, your hunting plot and the crops you have chosen are the reasons he's traveling to the area.

Six Tips for Drought Proofing Your Food Plots

Despite the ample rain we've seen through much of the country, there are parts of the whitetails' range that are under a drought right now. Normally a manager shouldn't bet 100% on a drought, but they should hedge their bet and follow these steps. It can mean the difference between having some food, or a complete withered failure. 
 
 1) Select the right location. You can't just select any open spot and expect success.  As an example, if you choose a spot that has beach-sand for soil you shouldn't expect much. First and foremost, the site needs to be able to sustain your selected crop.
 
2) Time your planting properly. While we definitely have predetermined windows for when specific crops should be planted, one should be adaptable and open to planting when there is ample moisture to germinate the seed and get the new seedling off to a good start. Obviously if you're an absentee landowner you may have a prearranged date on which you have to plant, but if you have the flexibility you should wait until just before a rain event to ensure adequate soil moisture will be present.
 
3) Soil preparation may be the most important detail. These ideas will help to make more moisture available to your plant's roots. A) If soil moisture is limited or dry times are expected it's best to reduce the amount of times you turn the soil. Every time you work the soil valuable moisture is lost.  Frequent disking dries out the soil and leaves less moisture available for seed germination. B) A tiller requires fewer passes to achieve the same results as a disk. They can create a suitable seedbed with a single pass where a disk would require numerous passes to achieve the same results. C) If you have a hard-pan, removing the hard-pan by sub-soiling periodically allows the plant's roots to penetrate deeper so they're able to access moisture that would otherwise be unavailable if a hard-pan is present. During dry conditions the presence of a hard pan causes the topsoil to dry out more quickly. Deeper roots result in increased drought tolerance.
 
4) Eliminate weed competition. Unwanted competition will steal valuable moisture from your crop. Controlling competition with the correct herbicide is vital if you wish success during dry spells. Once your crop becomes established it will often shade out the competition which also helps to conserve topsoil moisture.
 
5) Balance your herd density with the available food. The higher your density, the more browse pressure negatively affects your plants. If your food plots are being browsed heavily due to a high deer density, the crop will be stressed. The more stress the plants receive, the closer you draw to a complete catastrophe. Combine heavy browse pressure with a drought and you have a recipe for failure.
 
6) Choose what to plant carefully. Selecting the right crops should depend more upon your overall management goals than whether or not they will survive a drought. However, a drought can negatively impact your food plot success, thus upsetting these management goals, so hedging your bet with some drought tolerant food plot plantings can be the difference between having
some forage for your herd or a complete dried-up disappointment.

Want to Attract more Gamebirds this Year? by Austin Delano

Early June is a great time of year to think about getting some food planted for turkeys, quail, or other birds you plan to hunt. WhistleBack is a warm season blend of sorghum, three varieties of millets, Egyptian wheat, and sunflowers. This mix is designed to produce massive amounts of seed and at the same time offer cover for many species of upland birds. WhistleBack contains varieties that all grow and mature at different heights offering food to birds as small as quail and doves on up to pheasants or turkeys. Our modern day food plot planting practices are not very conducive to feeding quail, turkeys, etc; we plant every available open piece of ground for our deer and figure the birds will be fine. It doesn't take a large area to feed a lot of birds and designating a third or a quarter acre section out of some of your deer plots for a strip or perimeter of WhistleBack will go a long way in feeding your game birds.

The plant varieties in WhistleBack will mature around 90 days and once the seed heads mature and dry up they will begin to naturally drop seeds providing feed for your birds through the fall and winter. This blend also makes a very good bedding area for deer when planted in larger plots and it can also be used for a buffer or a transitional zone between the woods or bedding areas and your other food plots.
 
The seeds in WhistleBack are all fairly small and ground preparation should be as follows. No-Till drills work great for this blend, most drills have a setting for planting millet or sorghums. If using traditional planting methods, I would suggest spraying the area to be planted a week to ten days ahead of planting with a non-selective herbicide, such as glyphosate, to kill all existing vegetation. Ground to be planted can then be disked or tilled and then cultipacked to create a firm seed bed. WhistleBack can then be broadcast and lightly dragged or cultipack again to incorporate seed ? to ? inch into the soil. 
 
WhistleBack can use about 250 lbs of 13-13-13 per acre, or an equivalent. All the seed varieties in this blend are nitrogen lovers and it would benefit growth and seed production to implement a secondary nitrogen application 4-6 weeks after germination, much like you would corn. Do your part this year and designate some ground for feeding your game birds.

Fertilizer and lime recommendations can be confusing. All the different numbers and suggestions can really make it difficult to understand what your soil and crop needs to perform its best. Let's simplify things with a few quick tips to understanding your soil sample.

1.      Soil pH is the first thing you need to get right. Although some crops are more tolerant of acidic soils than others, your plot will perform best with a pH of 6.5-7.0. Lime is relatively inexpensive and is the key to successful plots. For perspective a plot with a pH of 5.5 is 100 times more acidic than one at 6.5. Over 50% of fertilizer added to a plot with a 5.5 pH is wasted because it is not able to be used by the plants. One to two tons per acre of ag lime is very common to get your plots where they need to be.
 
2.      Remember that the 3 numbers on bagged fertilizer (N-P-K) are based off of 100 lbs, not 50. In a 50 lb bag of 13-13-13, there are 6.5 lbs or units each of actual nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. If your sample says you need 40 lbs each of N-P-K, you would need 350 lbs per acre of 13-13-13. This would give you 45.5 lbs of N-P-K.
 
3.      An advanced soil test is needed to get current levels of micro nutrients like copper, iron, zinc, boron, etc. These micros are usually not present in bagged fertilizer. Although they are needed in very small amounts in comparison to the macro's (N-P-K), it can be worthwhile to do an advanced sample every 3-4 years and keep the micro's up to date.
 
4.      As a general rule of thumb, cereal grains, corn, and brassicas are nitrogen lovers. Legumes such as clovers, peas, beans, or alfalfa fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere and need very little at planting time. For example, once established, clover can be fertilized with a common 0-20-20. At planting time, a low nitrogen blend like 5-20-20 can be used to give the young clover a small dose of nitrogen while it develops a root system and begins to affix its own from the air. On the other end of the spectrum, corn can use 100-200 lbs of nitrogen per acre for maximum yield.
 
Keep in mind if your soil sample comes back with a pretty acidic reading like 4.5-5.5 that your plot is not a lost cause. A couple of tons of lime to the acre can really change how successful your food plot plantings are. Lime is relatively cheap but is often the most overlooked tool to growing good crops for your wildlife. Continuing to spread fertilizer on highly acidic soils can be counterproductive and frankly somewhat a waste of good money. I would much rather see a guy with pH levels below 6.0 spend some of his food plot budget on lime rather than fertilizer.
 
The time it takes for the lime to begin to breakdown and start to neutralize the acidity on your soil can be dependent on several factors. One of these is how fine the lime has been screened at the quarry. Lime that is screened through a very fine mesh screen is more of a powder consistency and will begin to breakdown in the soil quicker than a more coarse lime screened through a larger screen. Once you have added lime to a plot according to a soil test, it could be 2-5 years before you need to spread more. The amount of time in between applications can vary with different soil types, rainfall amounts, and other factors. Obviously soils that are very sandy will typically leach lime and other nutrients quicker through the root zone than heavier soils with a higher clay content.

Be sure to contact your local farm supply or co-op to spread your lime for you. If your plots are accessible with larger equipment, they can spread the lime for you very efficiently. Another option is to have the lime delivered and dumped on your property and spread yourself. Lime and fertilizer spreaders can often be rented from your local co-op or extension service very reasonably if you have a means of loading it yourself.

FOOD FOR HUMANS

Gamey Twist to a Favorite St. Patrick’s Day Meal from Hi Mountain

Brined for days and cooked for hours, corned beef has been a St. Patrick’s Day staple forever, but when done properly you will be hard-pressed to tell the difference between corned beef and corned venison or other game meats. Using wild game offers a healthy alternative to this holiday favorite as the meat is much leaner and does not have any added hormones or preservatives.

With St. Patrick’s Day only 14 days away it is time to start planning now. Keep in mind that the corning process takes a week or more so it is necessary to begin the process early. To make things easy for you, Hi Mountain Seasonings has the perfect Corned Venison recipe that will make your St. Patrick’s meal that will have your family and friends coming back for more!

How long you brine your meat depends on the thickness of the cut. If you have a large piece of venison consider cutting it in half to reduce the brining/pickling time. The brining process is complete when you can cut the meat in half and it is no longer gray in the center. If it is gray – put it back in the brine.

How to Corn Venison (or other game meat)
3 to 5 pounds of venison roast trimmed of all silver skin and gristle
3 1⁄2 quarts water
1 Packet Hi Mountain Jerky Cure
1 Packet Hi Mountain Jerky Seasoning
3 tsp. sugar
2 bay leaves
3⁄4 cup pickling salt
1⁄4 cup pickling spice

1. Combine all ingredients with the exception of the meat into a large pot and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow the liquid to cool completely. Place meat into a non-metallic container (glass, plastic, zip lock) and pour the brine over to cover completely. Place in refrigerator for 5-7 days. Remove meat from brine and rinse under cold water.
2. Put rinsed meat in large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 hours or until meat is very tender.

Corned Venison Sandwich with Spicy Mayo
2 slices dark rye bread
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 garlic clove minced
2-3 slices pepper jack cheese
3 to 4 ounces corned venison
2 whole roasted Ortega-type chilis
2 slices tomato
Thin slices red onion

1. Combine melted butter and garlic and spread on one side of each bread slice. Place bread, butter side down in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 or 2 slices of cheese to the bread, corned venison, roasted chilis, tomato, onion and more cheese. Place remaining bread, buttered side up on top of the cheese.
2. Once the bottom slice of bread is slightly crispy carefully flip the sandwich over and cook until the bottom is equally crisp. Serve with Spicy Mayo.

Spicy Mayo
3 Tsp mayonnaise
1⁄2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 1⁄4 teaspoon HMS Bacon Pineapple Sriracha seasoning

Get your green on and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Hi Mountain Seasonings delicious Corned Venison Sandwich with Spicy Mayo.

UPTIME

UPTIME’s Streamlined Energy Formula Fuels Greatness

It can strike as an afternoon slump at the office, pre-workout motivation drain, or the day after effects of an all-nighter. Energy depletion is a chronic problem in today’s fast paced world where e-mails never stop flooding in, but social lives, relationships, gym sessions, and down time still need to be packed into the day. Rather than reaching for a coffee, soda or synthetic energy drink that will only provide a short-lived jumpstart, there is a beverage being reintroduced called UPTIME that only contains carefully selected, premium ingredients for balanced energy.  

UPTIME is formulated to provide an invigorating combination of ingredients to boost energy, increase production, and sharpen mental clarity and focus.

UPTIME’s streamlined ingredients help avoid sudden energy bursts, shakes, jitters, and crashes that can be brought on by other beverages. UPTIME provides a balanced energy boost with 142mg of caffeine, about the same amount as a cup of coffee, as well as powerful nutrients such as calcium, Vitamin C and potassium to help support overall health and other natural ingredients including Ginseng, gingko biloba and coenzyme Q10.

Available sweetened with cane sugar or sugar-free, UPTIME blends together the clean tasting citrus flavors of lemon, lime and orange and has light carbonation. The clear beverage is packaged in a sleek, single-serve, 12-ounce aluminum bottle with a re-sealable twist cap.

Similar to many of the lightweight, collapsible canvas chairs owned by milions nationwide, what sets the Chaheati apart is the cordless carbon fiber non-wire heating elements throughout the chair. The patent pending technlogy of the Chaheati offers four temperature settings ranging from 98 up to 145F and rapidly heats up in less than 20 seconds. Ideal for use in a variety of settings, including camping, tailgating, hunting, cool weather sporting events and practices, and more.

The high efficiency, lithium-in rechargeable battery provides up to six hours of heat per charge and lasts for over 500 uses. The warmth of the soft, flexible ultra-thin heating element in the chair can eve help relieve light and aching muscles and joints. Chaheati's heating system is optimally positioned to produce a comfortable even heat across the entire back, buttocks and the back of the thighs.

It is a sturdy chair desiged for comfort and durability. The fabric is rugged and comfortable and is desiged to be fire and water-resistant.

The inventor of the Chaheati is Kyle Smith with his wife ReAnna. Kyle notes that the idea for the Chaheati came about "On a cold night in front of a bonfire when we were all warm and toasty on the front of our bodies and a block of ice on our backsides. I was watching my frustraed wife repeatedly sit, stand and turn like a turkey on a rotisserie to warm up. I thought she needed a heated chair. After researching the market and not finding one, we decided to create one -- and the Chaheati is the result."

I can truthfully say that after trying and using this chair repeatedly, I've often used it indoors for the help it does for my aching back!

Available for $89.99 on-line or from the company at web site /www.chaheati.com/store/

Strut performance with over 134 years of combined experience in building diaphragm calls. H.S.

The total quality manufacturing process uses close tolerances and precision automated specifications to produce the best calls ever. Each call goes through multiple quality control steps with a final hand inspection before it leaves the factory.

"These calls have more durability, more life, and just plain sound more like a turkey. The building and material technology is unmatched in the turkey market."

Hunter's Specialties® now features their new Infinity Latex™ in all of their Premium Flex™ diaphragm calls, as well as the Mac Daddy® Series and the Thunder Twister® Gobble call.

KOOLA BUCK

Keep Your Elk Harvest Safe With Koola Buck Anti-Microbial XL Game Bags

Koola Buck has expanded its line of popular Anti-Microbial Game Bags with the introduction of the XL Game Bags, sized specifically for elk and similarly sized game quarters. Treated to protect meat by reducing bacteria eight times more than standard game bags, the new Anti-Microbial XL Game Bags are packable, lightweight and very durable.

Each of the four cotton/poly-blend stretch-fitting quarter bags are permeated in a proprietary blend of all-natural flavorless acids and bacterial inhibitors to protect the harvest from spoilage without changing the natural flavor of the meat. The Game Bags also protect the meat from insects and their eggs. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures above 40 ° to about 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range is known as the "Danger Zone” and why it is advised that one not leave food uncovered and unrefrigerated for over 2 hours. Because hunters generally process animals—particularly elk and other large game—in less than sanitary conditions and often in temperatures above 40 degrees, the Koola Buck Anti-Microbial Game Bags are an extremely important means to ensure the safety and quality of the meat that you harvest and process. By putting them in these special bags the growth of surface bacteria is significantly slowed, providing additional time to get the harvest to proper refrigeration.

The new Koola Buck Anti-Microbial XL Game Bags are available in a vacuum-sealed, bacteria-free four-pack at <http://www.koolabuck.com>www.koolabuck.com and at select dealers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $34.95. To find a dealer near you visit www:koolabuck.com/dealers.com/

Headquartered in Brookville, Pa., Koola Buck is a leading designer and manufacturer of portable refrigeration systems, meat hooks, anti-microbial game bags and game-processing videos.

SIGNATURE PRODUCTS GROUP

Signature Products Group (SPG) Introduces the All New Browning Billy 1700RT Lumbar Hunting Pack

Signature Products Group (SPG) has introduced the Browning Billy 1700RT Lumbar Hunting Pack, which will be available in stores this summer. This lumbar pack boasts 1700 cubic inches of storage space, handles heavy loads with ease, and weighs merely 2.5 pounds.

Staying true to Browning's mantra, "The Best There Is," SPG has completely redesigned the Browning hunting pack line, incorporating innovations such as Hypo-Sonic™ and Mountain Crawler™ systems made specifically to enhance stealth and endurance on any hunt. Gone are the days of bulky, heavy packs that weigh more than all the rest of your gear...this ain't your daddy's hunting pack.

The Billy 1700RT features a revolutionary Baumshell™ fabric as well as the industry-first Hypo-Sonic™ closure in place of a traditional noisy zipper. Woven Baumshell™ fabric is roughly twice the strength and half the weight of traditional knitted pack fabrics. Additionally, it is "whisper quiet" for state of the art sound suppression. Baumshell™ fabric is water resistant and the pack is constructed with reinforced stitching for years of hunting.

The Hypo-Sonic™ closure is located on the waist belt storage pocket. This innovative toothless zipper is water resistant and virtually silent due to its unique materials and welding methods. It is perfect for quietly accessing vital gear like game calls and rangefinders in the final phases of the hunt when silence is critical.

For long days in the field, the Billy 1700RT utilizes the Mountain Crawler™ system to make carrying the pack a breeze. Included in this system is an asymmetrical waist belt design which permits a larger, more functional waist belt storage pocket allowing for "cockpit access" to critical items while still wearing the pack.

Also part of the Mountain Crawler™ system, the "Center of Gravity" lumbar design vastly enhances the ability to carry heavier loads with less fatigue. To do so, shoulder straps are padded with high density foam and the webbing connecting the shoulder straps to the pack is attached to the rear of the pack resulting in a more upright load and drastically more comfortable carriage than the competition's traditional lumbar packs.

The final Mountain Crawler™ system feature is the "Infinite Loop" shoulder strap innovation. The Billy 1700RT's shoulder straps move with the hunter's shoulders, independently of the pack's weight, allowing for maximum versatility and comfort whether climbing a tree or shooting a bow or gun. The Infinite Loop shoulder straps result in balanced weight for maximum comfort over any terrain.

The Billy 1700RT also features a Roll-Top opening for quiet and easy access to the generous main storage area of the pack. On the inside of the pack there is a Hunter Specific Organization System which provides suggested storage and organization for important hunting gear. The pack also has large pass through side and front pockets for carrying more gear.

The Billy 1700RT is hydration compatible and has low profile lash points for easy external gear attachment. The innovative waist belt cam buckle adjusts easily and much more quietly than traditional buckles.

To help keep hunters cool and comfortable, the Billy 1700RT utilizes Tri-Vent three-layer padding. This padding creates a wicking, breathable, comfortable, and cool back panel.

The Billy 1700RT is available in four camouflage patterns with unique tonal color blocking. Available camouflage patterns include Realtree Max-1®, Realtree Xtra®, Mossy Oak Country®, and Mossy Oak Bottomland®.

Product Specifications:

MSRP $189.99

REDHEAD

New RedHead® Turkey Decoy BagPack makes carrying decoys safer and more convenient

While the average decoy spread for turkey hunting looks nothing like the ginormous faux flocks that snow goose hunters use, it’s not uncommon for turkey hunters to set up two, three, or even more decoys. The new RedHead® Turkey Decoy Bag makes toting those decoys to the field easier and safer. This bag means that you can put an end to stuffing your decoys and stakes in the back pocket of your turkey vest. The bag’s main compartment is so big it will easily accommodate a strutting gobbler/jake decoy and at least two hens. The 24" wide x 34" tall BagPack works great with any brand, no matter how bulky the decoys.

A separate pocket for your decoy stakes, including the RedHead® Remote Strut Stake, makes them easy to find even when you’re in a hurry. The stake pocket’s heavy duty reinforced nylon bottom will keep stakes from poking out of the material while the Decoy BagPack’s brushed polyester material is sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of turkey hunting. You can make the bag fit your frame with the adjustable backpack straps.

In addition to convenience and durability, the RedHead Turkey Decoy BagPack provides a safer, smarter way to transport your decoys while hunting.

The RedHead® Turkey Decoy BagPack is available www.basspro.com/RedHead-Turkey-Decoy-BagPack/product/13092606511610/.

FLYING FISHERMAN SUNGLASSES

In addition to producing sportfishing programs for television, Flying Fisherman® launched its line of polarized eyewear in 1985 after years of research and development in the Florida Keys, its home base since 1972. The extreme sun and harsh conditions in the Florida Keys, along with the tremendous variety of game fish, provide the best fishing opportunity in continental America, and phenomenal product testing grounds.

During the production of the company's sportfishing TV programs, polarized camera lenses were used to reduce glare and capture the action. Sight fishing and deep-water action revealed the obvious need for polarized eyewear as well, just as local sportfishing professionals needed polarized sunglasses to do their daily job. Add the three big reasons for "turn over" -- glasses being lost, scratched, or broken -- and the company discovered a need for quality, affordable, polarized eyewear.

Flying Fisherman® Polarized Sunglasses are designed by fishermen for fishermen, and are a quality alternative to expensive eyewear. Every fishing environment out there, except for ice fishing, is available in the Florida Keys…from gin clear to brackish brown water, the deep blue Atlantic, sand and grass flats, and more. It's here that top sportfishing professionals assist us every day in field testing and developing new products...before the Flying Fisherman® brand name is put on them.

Flying Fisherman Sunglasses are designed to provide quality, affordable polarized eyewear. More than 35 frame styles and a variety of AcuTint™ Sunlens options make up the collection, from classic, traditional models to sleek wrap around designs and mirrored lens treatments, Flying Fisherman Sunglasses are both stylish and fully functional, and offer uncompromising clarity, performance and value.

Polarization & UV Protection

The process of polarization uses a special filter to absorb glare producing light waves reflected off horizontal surfaces. Flying Fisherman AcuTint™ lenses eliminate glare with minimal color distortion, sharpen visul acuity and reduce eye strain.

Flying Fisherman Sunglasses provide maximum protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, and meet or exceed FDA, ANSI and European(CE) standards for general purpose eyewear.

AcuTint™ SunLenses

Flying Fisherman Sunglasses are offered in five durable lens materials.
• Precision Ground & Polished Polarized Glass
• Virtually Indestructible Polarized Polycarbonate
• Polished Polarized Glass
• S13 Hard Coated Polarized Plastic
• Premium 1.1mm Polarized Plastic

The color of the sunlens is critical to the ability of your sunglasses to function under various conditions. Flying Fisherman AcuTint™ sunlens system offers the most effective lens tints in the color spectrum.

Smoke - Best for bright, sunny conditions such as deep water, lakes and offshore fishing. Blue mirror coating available with some styles.

Amber - Excellent for shallow water fishing, cloudy or rainy days, or other high contrast conditions. Green mirror coating available with some styles.

Yellow-Amber - Great for fishing in extremely low light, like early morning or late evening.

Vermillion - A favorite for sight fishing, muddy water and low light conditions. Red/Gold mirror coating available with some styles.

Flying Fisherman® Introduces Polaris With Full Wrap And Lens Flair Lens Designed For Maximum Eye Coverage

Guide response to the new Polaris sunglasses by Flying Fisherman® for 2008 has been excellent.  The most favored design feature was a toss up between the anti-fogging breather ducts built into the TR90 frames, and the extra light weight -- just .9 ounces.

ONOS TRADING COMPANY SUNGLASSES

About ONOS Sunglasses

No matter what brand I purchased or where I purchased the sunglasses from, I was always disappointed because they couldn't be adjusted so they'd feel right. Finally, I tried ONOS, and they are great. Not only can I wear them at the beach, around town, or when fishing or hunting, because I have a full range of vision, and the bi-focal part helps me read outdoors or while tying a fly on my fishing line. They come in different focus lengths if you want the bi-focal style, or plain, in a variety of lens colors, if you don't need the bi-focals. What's great, too, is that I can see right into the water while fishing or kayaking because they are

ONOS, according to the manufacturer are the first sunglasses ever to combine all the features active adults want and need into one total package. Best of all, active farsighted people can enjoy outdoor activities without the hassle of switching glasses as I had to do before discovering ONOS. With ONOS polarized sunglasses with readers built in, you can enjoy a new dimension of comfort, convenience, and style without the prescription price of bifocals.

The Polycarbonate lenses are lightweight, optically clear and more scratch resistant than standard lenses; the frame styles with polarized lenses offer additional relief from horizontal glare; the lenses provide 100% protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays; the integrated reader lens is positioned low in the lens for active outdoor use; the lens colors are designed to enhance the true color spectrum resulting in clear and brilliant vision; and reader strengths are available in a wide assortment of magnification strengths.

By combining the polarized lens with our unique reader magnification enhancement, the company has created a product that eliminates the need for bi-focals or to switch glasses to read or perform other close-up tasks when outdoors. The pair I chose is so lightweight that sometimes I forget they're on my face! Next, I think I'll buy an extra pair to keep in my ski bag or when I go snowshoeing.

Brownells® Introduces Broken Shell Extractor

Cartridge shell case head separation can ruin any shooting experience. Brownells® comes to the rescue with a new broken shell extractor (stock no. 080-000-441) that allows shooters to easily remove broken cases without losing time.

Ideal for AR-15/M16 shooters, the .223 caliber broken shell extractor easily removes over-fired or out-of-spec brass. The tool removes a damaged case from any firearm chambered for either the .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO cartridges. "AR-15/M16 style rifles continue to grow in popularity as does reloading for these rifles," said Frank Brownell, company president. "Trying to squeeze the most power out of the .223 can put a great deal of stress on cases, as can excess headspace. The unique design of the Broken Shell Extractor allows shooters to eject broken cases without needing to disassemble the rifle. "

Adjustable for overall length, the tool completely engages the edge or lip of the case mouth, making it possible for the gun's extractor to pull the Broken Shell Extractor out of the chamber, along with the remains of the case. The compact, steel Broken Shell Extractor is one of those valuable tools that you don't need often, but when you need it, you need it a lot!

As with every Brownells product, if customers are not completely satisfied they can return the product for a full refund.

COSTA

The Costa Carry Comp Pistol from STI International Offers Shooters a High-Performance Option for Concealed Carry

STI International has teamed up with self-defense and weapons training expert Chris Costa to design the new Costa series of pistols. The Costa Carry Comp features an island sight, which is attached to the barrel instead of the slide, with the compensator ahead of the front sight. This technology reduces muzzle jump, making it easy to stay focused on the front sight for follow up shots. The compensator reduces recoil by 63% and the gun uses the STI Recoil Master dual spring system to reduce recoil even further, making the Costa Carry Comp one of the smoothest shooting pistols on the market.

The STI Costa Carry Comp is available in both 9mm and .45 ACP in the STI exclusive 2011® platform, which provides higher round capacity. The Modular design of the 2011 transfers recoil along a flatter plain for better control and faster follow up shots. The barrel is 4.15 inches (5.1 inches including the Island Comp) and the gun has a black Diamond Like Carbon finish with tan TreeBark stippled grips and a Picatinny under-rail to mount accessories. Sights are a fixed ledge rear with a fiber optic front. Two magazines are included, both 126mm and 140mm.

The Costa Carry Comp sells for an MSRP of $3,699.

U.S. Commercial Markets Get First Chance at New Taurus Military Pistol

In an unprecedented move by a handgun manufacturer, Taurus International has announced that it will release its next generation military pistol to civilian and law enforcement markets ahead of the now-postponed Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) system trials.

The new 24/7 OSS™, available in .45 ACP, .40 cal and 9mm, was designed and built to exceed all requirements originally set forth by the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for its new sidearm and is capable of firing tens of thousands of rounds in virtually any environment for unprecedented reliability, accuracy and durability in real-world situations.

The performance of the new 24/7 OSS™ is due in part to Taurus’ most recent industry-changing innovation – the Single Action/Double Action trigger system. Firing normally from single action mode, if the primer ever fails to ignite, the gun reverts to a double-action mode to provide a life-saving second or third try at a faulty cartridge – giving the 24/7 OSS™ a failure-free reliability no other pistol on the market has matched.

When field-stripping the 24/7 OSS™, users will discover an 18.5 lb. recoil spring that cycles the slide faster, a heavy Match Grade 5¼” barrel forged from ordinance grade steel and a stainless steel guide rod that adds just the right amount of front end weight for improved recoil control and rapid fire accuracy.

The 24/7 OSS™ features an aggressive checkered grip that allows a glue-like purchase on the gun even with sweaty hands.  Ambidextrous Indexed Memory Pads™ along the frame provide an automatic finger locator for safe firearm handling as well as an aid for quick and accurate aim when using a traditional two-handed grip.  An integral Picatinny rail system that accommodates slide-on lights or laser sights, a SA/DA indicator on the rear of the slide that shows whether the pistol is in “cocked” or “decocked” mode, front slide serrations and a reversible magazine release combine for increased versatility of the new OSS.

The Taurus 24/7 OSS™ DS model features ambidextrous decock/safety levers that allow the user to carry the gun with the striker cocked and ready to fire, and can then be kept in safety-on “cocked and locked” mode. The user can also release the internal striker without discharging the chambered round by simply pushing upwards on the safety lever, which then places the pistol in double-action mode.  You can then carry the gun in double action mode with or without the safety on.  The 24/7 OSS™ is also available in a D model, with decocker only.

Both 24/7 OSS™ models come standard with a visual loaded chamber indicator and the unique Taurus Security System® that allows users to securely lock the gun.   The new Taurus 24/7 pistols will carry an MSRP of about $600.

Taurus' 24/7 Pro Pistol - Technologically Advanced Handgun

The Taurus research and engineering spent four years developing the 24/7 PRO pistol.  With a combination of features and enhancements unparalleled in modern handguns, the 24/7 PRO pistol is rapidly exceeding industry expectations.

Winning the praise of top military, law enforcement and security professionals and setting numerous world records in speed shooting competitions, the 24/7 PRO features a revolutionary Single Action/Double Action trigger that prevents total failure by automatically reverting to double-action mode to fire a faulty cartridge. The resulting performance means less pull and a smooth, crisp and constant trigger at continuous use. Simply stated, the 24/7 PRO is the duty-use sidearm of the future.

The 24/7 PRO is available in 9mm, 40 Caliber and .45 ACP at barrel lengths of 3 1/3’’, 4’’ or 5’’.  All feature an ergonomic Ribber Gripâ that provides a customized feel for every user and every hand size.  Gun control is easier and more comfortable than the alternative cheap, plastic slip-on used by the competition.    Utilizing Heinie “Straight Eight” sights and a Picatinny rail system accommodating any slide-on light or laser sight, the 24/7 PRO is arguably the most durable and reliable gun available. 

Tested by Taurus engineers and the media to fire tens of thousands of failure-free rounds in the sand, mud, heat, snow and ice, the 24/7 PRO gives users the security of a loaded chamber indicator and three safeties: one manual, a firing pin block and a trigger block.  The frame is constructed of polymer and steel and available in a blue, stainless steel or total titanium finish.   All models come with two blue steel magazines. MSRP ranges from $503-$617.

In order to prevent shooting the wrong caliber in the wrong barrel the magazines provide a special safety feature to prevent insertion with the wrong barrel in place.

Browning X-Bolt™ -- The New Benchmark in Bolt-Action Rifle Design

The Browning X-Bolt produced in 2008 builds on the proven success of past Browning rifles, and adds numerous improvements that will position the X-Bolt at the top of bolt actions offered to today's discriminating sportsman.

X-Bolt Feather™ Trigger has a new adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger system that offers the best feel on any Browning rifle ever and provides a clean, crisp pull with no take-up or creep and minimal overtravel. The trigger is screw adjustable from 3 to 5 lbs. and factory pre-set at approximately 3 ∏ lbs. An alloy trigger housing contains the hard chromed steel components that are highly polished on all critical surfaces. Precise engagement angles gives the X-Bolt Feather Trigger a lighter trigger pull feel that stays that way through many thousands of rounds.

Bolt Unlock Button feature a new bolt unlock button that works with the top-tang safety. Conveniently located on top of the bolt lever, the bolt unlock button allows the bolt to be unlocked and opened with the safety in the on position. The safety blocks the trigger sear and features a firing pin block for added safety.

Inflex Technology Recoil Pad. An all new Inflex Technology recoil pad is standard on every X-Bolt rifle. This ultra soft pad offers the best recoil absorption available on any rifle. The proprietary construction and material promote a directional deflection of recoil forces, pulling the stock comb away from the face to reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb.

X-Lock™ Scope Mounting System.  The X-Lock mounts feature an all new four screw per base design that replaces the traditional two screw system. This gives the X-Bolt the most stable scope mounting system possible with the bases being secured on all four corners rather than only attached at the center of the base for more accurate placement on the receiver.

An all new detachable rotary magazine is incorporated into the X-Bolt. Constructed from a durable lightweight polymer, the magazine is designed to feed cartridges directly in-line with the bolt, instead of offset as with traditional leaf-spring magazines, for a straight shot right into the chamber. The magazine sits flush with the bottom of the rifle for a sleeker appearance.

Other features found on the new Browning X-Bolt will include a short 60º bolt lift that provides fast cycling and allows the shooter to work the bolt more quickly without the scope getting in the way. The bolt has three locking lugs to provide exceptional bolt strength. The X-Bolt barrel is free-floated by bedding the front and rear of the action for stability and to help maintain barrel to stock spacing.  A recessed muzzle crown helps protect the rifling from damage.

The new Browning X-Bolt is offered in Hunter and Medallion models with wood stocks and in Composite Stalker and Stainless Stalker models with composite stocks.  Short action composite model weight is 6 lbs. 5 oz. and long action wood stock models weight is 7 lbs. Calibers offered from 243 Win. to  375 H & H Mag. Suggested Retail $799.00 to $1,049.00.

Weatherby® introduces the Vanguard® Adaptive Composite rifle with adjustable stock                                                                                          

Dialing in the exact fit between rifle and rifleman is critical to precise long-range shooting. Now Weatherby shooters can achieve just that in the new Vanguard® Adaptive Composite rifle. It features a revolutionary, specially-designed stock that allows each owner to adjust pull length, comb height and buttstock angle for a true custom fit.

“At Weatherby, our creed is that Nothing Shoots Flatter, Hits Harder, or is More Accurate®,” said Jason Evans, Vice President, Sales & Product Development of Weatherby, Inc. “That said, accuracy is the one Weatherby virtue that also rests squarely on the shooter’s shoulders. To perform at the highest level, the fit between gun and gunner is of utmost importance – which is why we worked so hard to develop the fully-adjustable, adaptive Vanguard,” Evans added.

Visually, the rifle’s attitude is as serious as its performance. Stock adjustments can be made quickly, whether in the shop or on-the-fly in the field. Rubberized grip panels ensure that wherever skin comes in contact with the weapon, a secure, comfortable, non-slip connection is made. Within that adaptive stock lies the backbone of the Vanguard – a 20-inch #3 contour threaded barrel, chambered in either .223 REM, 6.5 Creedmoor or .308 WIN and guaranteed for SUB-MOA accuracy. The barrel is cold hammer forged with a flush thread cap for fast, easy suppressor enhancement (suppressor not included). The blue steel is matte bead blasted for non-glare stealth.

True to the Vanguard line, this rifle has a match-grade, two-stage trigger that’s creep-free for consistent let-off and hand-honed for a clean, crisp break. The bolt body is longitudinally fluted to reduce weight, decrease bearing surface area and eliminate binding for a butter-smooth action. A one-piece machined receiver comes standard with an integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength and structural integrity.

For shooters born to compete at the range, in the field or in their line of heroic work, the rifle must become an extension of themselves. With the Weatherby Vanguard Adaptive Composite, this rifle adjusts to become that perfect extension.

Matthews went on to add, "Every once in a great while somebody gets it just right, and that's what Browning has done with the new "Sweet Sixteen". Their new fowling piece is all gun with no fluff, destined to be an instant classic. "

Rafe Nielsen, Communications Manager with Browning, was presented the award at the Safari Club International Convention. In accepting the award, Nielsen said, "The return of the Browning Sweet 16 has been a fun and rewarding project for Browning. It has been very encouraging to hear the positive comments from dealers and consumers who are excited about the return of this classic shotgun to the Browning line.",

REMINGTON SHOTGUNS

Competition-Ready Over & Unders Join Premier® Shotgun Offerings from Remington

Remington has expanded their line of finely-crafted and well-designed break actions with the addition of three new 12- gauge competition versions. The Premier STS® Competition with 32-inch barrel and Premier STS Competition Adjustable Comb with choice of 30 or 32-inch barrel lengths join the initial Premier STS Competition 12-gauge offering with 28 or 30-inch barrel.

Each Premier STS Competition offering features a low-profile, machined steel receiver with electroless nickel plating for added protection; polished blued, target-style barrels; premium figured walnut stock with right-hand palm swell and target-style Schnabeled fore-end for quick, responsive handling.

The barrels are overbored (0.735 inch diameter) with lengthened forcing cones for optimal pattern performance and reduction of felt recoil. The wider 10mm rib and ivory front and steel mid beads provide for quick target acquisition and the vented barrel filets aid in dissipation of the heat associated with high-volume shooting.

Five custom ProBore™ Choke tubes (Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Light Modified, Modified and Full) with convenient knurled extensions are included, allowing for quick adjustment for varying course conditions or target presentation. The barrel selector is conveniently located on the tang safety. Other features that set this 12-gauge apart from the competition include stylish engraving on the receiver; script “R” logo on the bottom of the receiver; and distinctive gold trigger.

Remington's Wingmaster HD

Remington's Wingmaster HD, the ultimate in high-performance hunting ammunition that's perfect for the waterfowl season. Utilizing Remington's proprietary composite of tungsten-bronze-iron metal (approved for waterfowl hunting by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), Wingmaster HD outperforforms, says the company, existing products with distinct and measurable advantages in pattern density and overall multi-range effectiveness. With "Drop-Dead Better" Performance, Wingmaster HD exhibits the following advantages:

12.0 Grams/CC Pellet Density -- The optimal pellet density for an ideal combination of pattern energy and dispersion without sacrificing pellet count at extended ranges - unlike some competitive loads.

Round, Smooth, True-to-Size Pellets -- Wingmaster HD pellets ae smooth and round, resulting in true flight for dense, efficient patterns with no flyers. Every pellet is consistent in size and shape and equally effective in performance.

Choke Responsiveness -- Changin hunting conditions often call for an adjustment in pattern diameter. Wingmaster RD has a hardness rating similar to steel shot resulting in improved choke tube responsiveness, a benefit not previously obtainable with high density shot materials.

Equal Energy in Every Pellet -- Because Wingmaster HD pellets are true-to-size and round, individual pellets maintain consistent velocity and energy for deep penetration at long range.

Remington's Model 105CTi™ Autoloader  

The 12-gauge, 3-inch magnum Remington® Model 105CTi shotgun is a technologically-advanced, gas-operating autoloader that combines great looks, smooth handling and reliable operation in our lightest weight (7 lbs.) and softest recoiling, autoloading platform ever.

The Model 105CTi autoloading shotgun has many patent-pending and unique design features beginning with the core of the Model 105 – its skeletonized 12-gauge receiver, fully capable of handling 3-inch magnum or light 2 3/4-inch loads interchangeably. Constructed of aircraft-grade Titanium with a carbon-fiber shell, the receiver provides unparalleled strength in a slim, compact design which reduces the overall weight of the gun. The ambidextrous “Double Down” bottom feed and ejection system provides for quick, smooth reloading and no distractions from shell ejection. The TurboFeed™ loading system allows for the first shell to be loaded directly from the magazine into the chamber; provides rapid loading; faster follow-up shots; and equally as fast unloading.

The Model 105CTi autoloader reduces the shock of felt recoil through an innovative, four part process with up to a 50% reduction in recoil. The Rate Reduction System, located in the stock, provides for consistent and reliable feed, regulation of bolt velocity and reduction of felt recoil through its patented oil-filled cylinder. Addition of a newly designed, convex R3® Recoil Pad further reduces recoil and provides for ease of mounting the Model 105CTi on the range or in the field over bulky outer clothing. A simple and efficiently-designed gas operating system features a one-piece, inertia sleeve and gas seal. In addition to reducing recoil, this design reduces maintenance of the Model 105CTi by requiring less cleaning with fewer parts. Further reduction of recoil is achieved through the overbored barrel (.735 inch diameter) with lengthened forcing cones. Overboring also reduces pellet deformity and increases pattern performance.

Durability and performance features on the Model 105CTi have not been overlooked. The hammer-forged, carbon steel barrels come with twin bead sights and are available in 28 and 26-inch lengths. Unique to the Model 105 is a stylized vent rib crafted of carbon and aramid fibers, which further reduces weight and provides increased strength and protection against damage. The overbored barrels are equipped with the high-performance ProBore™ Choke Tubes to optimize patterns and each Model 105 comes with Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full flush choke tubes. Our patented, multilayer TriNyte™ coating protects the receiver from scratches and corrosion and adds to the gun’s durability. The unique rotating bolt lock-up reduces friction and increases the smooth and efficient operation of this autoloader. A critical feature of any high performance shotgun is the trigger and the Model 105CTi features a new patent pending trigger designed for crisp, consistent trigger pulls (set at 3 1/2 to 4 pounds from the factory) and has a traditional cross- bolt safety, which is reversible for left-handed shooters.

The Model 105 CTi design does not stop with reliability and performance, this autoloader has great looks, too. The satin finish on the barrel and modern, aesthetic appearance of the receiver compliment the American walnut stock. Custom laser cut checkering, satin finish and commemorative grip cap, recognizing Remington’s “100 Years of Autoloading Shotguns” manufacturing, complete this handsome stock. The eye-catching Model 105 CTi logo is featured on the fore-end and receiver side. Ready to take afield or to the range, the Model 105 comes complete with a rugged, lockable hard case.

The Model 105 CTi is available at a suggested retail price of $1332.

'Note: The ProBore choke tubes are not interchangeable with standard Rem Choke tubes.

Remington's Model 1100 G3 with 2 3/4 and 3-Inch Capability

The Remington® Model 1100 autoloading shotgun has earned a solid reputation worldwide on the range and in the field for over four decades and continues today to be the most popular autoloader in the marketplace. Now you can count on the same reliability, smooth handling and soft recoil of the Model 1100 in a new, enhanced 2 3/4 and 3-inch version – the Model 1100 G3 in 12 and 20-gauge offerings, delivered in a lockable, hard case.

The performance-driven design of the G3 autoloader makes it capable of handling 2 3/4 and 3-inch shells and incorporates features that enhance the gas-operating system, reduce wear and improve cleaning of the time-proven Model 1100. Starting with the solid carbon steel receiver, the G3 wears a Titanium PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating which provides an attractive, yet durable finish. All internal operating parts (action bars, action bar sleeve, action spring, locking block, hammer, sear and magazine tube) are honed and feature a nickel-plated, Teflon® coating as do the trigger and extended carrier release. Other improvements include a pressure compensated barrel which enables the use of light 2 3/4-inch target loads interchangeably with heavier 3-inch magnum loads and the recoil-dampening R3® Recoil Pad, which significantly lessens felt recoil for quicker target acquisition and follow-up shots.

The 12-gauge versions of the G3 have overbored (diameter of .735 inch) vent rib barrels which utilize the new custom-designed ProBore™ choke tubes. Choice of a 28 or 26-inch barrel length is available with Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Light Modified, Modified and Full ProBore flush choke tubes. The 20-gauge versions feature the versatile Rem® Choke system on the carbon steel vent rib barrel and include Improved Cylinder, Light Modified, Modified, Improved Modified and Full choke tubes with choice of barrel in 28 or 26-inch lengths.

REMINGTON RIFLES

Remington Introduces the Model 798™ Centerfire Rifle – Based on the 98 Mauser Action and the Compact Model 799™ Mini Mauser Centerfire Rifle

A survivor of two world wars and over one hundred years of service, the widely popular, classic Model 98 Mauser action has served faithfully as the platform of choice for many successful bolt action rifles and is sought after by today’s hunters and shooters. Now Remington is pleased to announce a line of bolt action centerfire rifles based on the Mauser 98 action – the Model 798 in four popular standard cartridge chamberings (.243 Win, 308 Win, .30-06 Sprg, and .270 Win) and four magnum chamberings (7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag, .375 H&H, and .458 Win Mag).

The Model 798, with its square bridge receiver is true to the Model 98 Mauser lineage in every way. Standard features include two dual opposed forward locking lugs, rear safety lug, flat bolt face, non-rotating claw extractor for legendary controlled round feeding and fixed blade ejector. Additional features include a solid steel trigger guard with integral magazine well, steel hinged floor plate, steel magazine follower and a single stage trigger with a two-position sporter style tang safety. Hammer forged barrels deliver outstanding accuracy from the bench or in the field. Receivers are drilled and tapped for scope mounts and feature a rich, high-polished blued finish as do the barrels.

These high-performance bolt action rifles combine the inherent Mauser action accuracy and reliable, controlled round cartridge feed in an aesthetically-pleasing, brown laminate stock designed exclusively for the Model 798 with the American shooter in mind. In addition to classic American lines, the stock features a one inch rubber recoil pad, sling swivel studs and distinctive cut checkering.

A modern variant of a timeless classic, the Model 799 Mini-Mauser is available in five traditional short action chamberings (.22 Hornet, .222 Remington, .22-250 Remington, .223 Remington and 7.62x39mm). The Model 799 features many of the same characteristics of the Model 798 including solid steel receivers and trigger guards as well as a single stage trigger with two position safety. The Model 799 forgoes the heavy non-rotating claw extractor for a Sako-style extractor well suited for feeding and extracting smaller cartridges.

Like the Model 798, the Model 799 features a clean, hammer forged barrel for exceptional accuracy. Both the barrel and solid steel receiver have a polished blue finish and are drilled and tapped for scope mounts. Rounding out the list of features are a handsome brown laminated stock with sling swivel studs, butt plate and hinged floor plate magazines (.22 Hornet has a five-round detachable magazine box).

Known for positive cartridge feed and ejection with claw-style extractor; strength and reliability; fast lock time and accuracy, the classic Mauser 98 action platform is the core of the new Remington® Model 798 and the foundation for the new Model 799. Combining these attributes with a handsome, wood laminate stock and Remington’s assurance of quality a Model 798 and Model 799 should be in every shooter’s gun safe.

Available at a suggested retail price of $599 (standard cartridge offerings), $635 (7mm Rem Mag and .300 Win Mag) and $839 (.375 H&H and .458 Win Mag).

Additional features include steel trigger guard, manual safety, sling swivel studs and butt plate.

SAKO RIFLES

Sako A7 Designed For The American Hunter

The Sako A7 meets accuracy and dependability straight out of the box. Available in 2008 as the new benchmark for the perfect American hunting rifle, mixing the world's finest out-of-the-box accuracy rating with superior value, the new Sako A7 offers the rare combination of unprecedented accuracy and ultimate reliability at an affordable price.

The Sako A7 improves upon the world famous Sako 75 design, featuring a machined forged-steel bolt, match-grade hammer-forged barrel, adjustable single-stage trigger (adjustable between 2.2 and 4.9 pounds), detachable magazine and synthetic stock. The A7 also integrates the new Total Control' Magazine Latch introduced on the Sako 85, eliminating any chance that the box magazine can come loose during operation. This new rifle is available in two finishes: blued and Sako's no-glare Stainless Steel. The A7's bolt offers a silky-smooth movement with a 70-degree throw. Together with Sako's super-crisp trigger, the A7 provides an incredibly fast total lock time of less than 1.3 milliseconds.

Since 1921, Sako has led the industry in accuracy by setting the standard by which all other rifles are compared. Each rifle must place five shots within one inch at 100 yards or they don‚t ship. Serious shooters know that in order to obtain consistent sub-inch groups one must start with a high-quality firearm and move forward from there. The new A7 not only holds the same level of accuracy as its brother the Sako 85, but it offers a price that makes the A7 the hands down best value in the American market.

The new Sako A7 rifle series is a superbly executed medley of tradition, technology, out-of-the-box accuracy and unprecedented value.

INSECT REPELLENTS

DON'T BUG ME

Innovative Don’t Bug Me! Skin Patch Provides Effective All-Natural Insect Repellent and Protection for Up To 36 hours; DEET-free and Safe for Children

 Don’t let mosquitoes or other pesky bugs take a bite out of you this summer.  While bug bites are often seen as a necessary evil of outdoor activity, statistics show that these bites can also be dangerous – leading to increased incidence of West Nile, Encephalitis and Lyme disease and even illnesses such as Malaria acquired through international travel.  And then there’s the annoying itching, swelling and redness that also occur when a nasty bug takes a bite out of your skin.

Just in time for summer, the Don’t Bug Me! insect repellent patch offers a first of its kind solution -- a transdermal skin patch that delivers a combination of protective Vitamin B1 and aloe combination throughout the body. One patch protects against bites from pesky, disease-carrying mosquitoes, gnats, ticks, chiggers, sand fleas and no seeums for up to 36 hours.

Concerns about increased prevalence of West Nile, Encephalitis and Lyme disease in the United States and also exposure to Malaria and other diseases have helped fuel sales of insect repellent, up over 30 percent since 2001. The potential of disease, coupled with concerns about the possible side effects of DEET, have led a growing number of consumers, particularly parents, searching for insect repellents that work but have low or no toxicity.  This summer, the Don’t Bug Me! Patch may provide the answer.

Vitamin B1 is the key effective ingredient in Don’t Bug Me! Patch, and when applied to the skin, provides protection from biting insects.  The thiamine-based formula is absorbed into the bloodstream through the transdermal delivery of the Don’t Bug Me! Patch.  Excess B1 is then secreted through the body’s pores, creating an odor that is almost undetectable to humans, but offensive to mosquitoes.  This odor forms a protective barrier around the body that shields the user from mosquitoes and other biting insects.  Aloe, the other active ingredient, accelerates the absorption of the B1 and serves as an anti-inflammatory, and in the event of a rare bite — it helps reduce the reaction, particularly for those who are sensitive to mosquito bites.

Don’t Bug Me! Patch offers the following positive attributes as compared to messy sprays, lotions or towelettes:

• No DEET, safe for children and adults alike
• Easy, no mess application– just apply a patch to your skin
• Protects skin often missed with a spray, such as ears and scalp
• Waterproof, no need to re-apply after swimming or exercise
• Protects up to 36 hours
• Patent pending, all-natural formula
• Incredibly effective

Early testing with select Boy Scout groups, members of the U.S. Army and professionals who spend their days working outside in bug-infested areas has brought in rave reviews about the effectiveness of Don’t Bug Me! Patch More specifically:

·       EODT, a security company for the U.S. government while helping to rebuild Iraq used the patches and re-ordered when they realized the patch works against sand fleas, a larger problem than mosquitoes in Iraq.

·       More than 30 soldiers in the U.S. Army tried the product while in the deep woods near the Arkansas river and found they were effective during their three-week stay in the chigger infested woods.  They reported NO bites from mosquito, chiggers, or ticks.

The Don’t Bug Me! Patch is available at natural food stores and major retailers nationwide.  The product comes in a five-pack for a suggested retail price of $4.99 and a 10 pack for a suggested retail price of $7.99.

Nothing is more annoying than being in my garden - whether it's relaxing in my hammoch or planting seeds than having insects swarm down on me -- biting me every place they can. Because I'm allegic to insect bites (they swell up and take days to disappear and itch like crazy), I have to endure it because I love being outdoors.

Until recently, it wasn't unusual for me to suffer 10-20 really itchy bites - whether it was from a mosquito or another biting critter - and even no-see-ums. Now, at last, I'm free of those horrible, itchy bites that swell up and take days to disappear -- thanks to discovering Thermacell's new, improved Mosquito Repellent gadget, #MR450.

This unique product offers a zone of 15' x 15f' mosquito protection, is rubber armored, has a zone check indicator, and a redesigned grill - plus an adjustable belt that fits around my waist AND a sturdy clip that allows the gadget to hang onto my clothing, belt, or even archery bag.

Its heat activated mat releases repellent into the air crating a 15' x 15' zone of protection, and includes 3 Mosquito Repellent mats (each mat lasts a maximum of 4 hours; one butane cartridge (each butane cartridge lasts a maximum of 12 hours; one CR2032 battery; and the belt clip.

ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent --- Great When Hunting Or Any Other Time!

ThermaCELL, manufacturer of the only portable, butane-operated, area mosquito repellent, offers an attractive upright lantern that provides not only unmatched protection from insects, but ambient outdoor lighting as well.  No more swatting, no more lotions or sprays, and no need to buy expensive bug tents: the ThermaCELL Lantern is up to 98% effective at warding off mosquitoes, black flies, and no-see-ums.

The ThermaCELL Lantern is silent and odor free, has no messy wax, and turns off automatically if accidentally tipped over.  It operates on a single butane cartridge, which heats a mat releasing Allethrin, an insect repellent that is a synthetic copy of pyrethrin, a natural insecticide found in the pyrethrum flower, creating a 15 x 15–foot comfort zone.  Each mat contains enough repellent for four hours of protection and each butane cartridge will operate the unit for 12 hours.

The Lantern is available in a standard clear, as well as a mood version that provides a vivid, ever-changing “color show” of rainbow light.  The Mood Lantern is best viewed in low-light conditions and adds ambiance to any patio, deck or campsite. 

The Mood Lantern can be used as a Mosquito Repellent Lantern, as a Mood Lantern, or as both at the same time.  The “color show” uses a proprietary battery-operated LED unit imbedded in the base of the lantern and is activated by pressing the “ON” button on the bottom of the unit. The zone of mosquito protection is activated by inserting a butane cartridge and repellent mat and lighting the lantern.

The Lantern comes with one butane cartridge and three repellent mats.  The Mood Lantern comes with one butane cartridge, three repellent mats, and 4 batteries.  Both lanterns are 8.5” tall and 5” in diameter at the widest point. MSRP is $24.99 for clear and $29.99 for the Mood Lantern.  Both are available at mass merchants, hardware stores, and outdoor retailers.

Hi Mountain Knives

Hi Mountain Seasonings Introduces the Ultimate Jerky Cutting Board & Knife

Hi Mountain Seasonings, the flavor leader in jerky and seasonings, has introduced its innovative, patent-pending Ultimate Jerky Cutting Board to make quick work of safely and easily slicing uniform strips of meat for making jerky. The HMS Ultimate Jerky Cutting Board is also perfect for slicing fruits, vegetables, or any other item used on a conventional cutting board.

The Ultimate Jerky Cutting Board is molded of extremely durable polypropylene polymer. It features a 1/4-inch depth on one side, and a 3/8-inch depth on the other, with a rim around the outside and down the center that guides the knife blade for consistent cuts. Ridges on both sides trap excess liquids, and textured surfaces on the ridges grip meats while tenderizing to help seasoning penetrate the meat.

The Ultimate Jerky Cutting Board also has a textured hand protector that provides even downward pressure while keeping the blade safely away from the user's hands. The hand protector locks into the 3/8-inch side of the cutting board, and the included 13 1/2-inch jerky knife nests inside it for easy storage. The Outdoor Edge knife features a surgically sharp, high-carbon, 420 stainless steel blade and an easy-grip, ergonomic, nonslip rubberized Kraton Handle. A carry handle is conveniently molded into the top, making it easy to grab and go and the nonslip rubber feet on each corner of the Ultimate Jerky Cutting Board hold it firmly in place while cutting. Simply flip the board over to use the flat surface to strip-cut jerky slices or for any other conventional-cutting board uses.

The HMS Ultimate Jerky Cutting Board is dishwasher safe, and each one is proudly made in Riverton, Wyo. It is currently available at your local Hi Mountain Seasonings retailer or conveniently online at www.himtnjerky.com for a suggested retail of $29.99.

For additional information, write: Hi Mountain Seasonings, 1000 College View Drive, Riverton, WY 82501; call toll-free 1-800-829-2285; or visit the company website at www.himtnjerky.com.

HI Mountain Seasoning's New Jerky Knife

Mountain says that its new Jerky Knife is a 'Cut Above the Rest.' After testing this knife for cutting jerky, I can honestly say that it is, indeed, a cut above the rest. Not only that, but I also tried cutting fish, veggies and meat with it and am totally impressed.

Outdoor Edge® Introduces the RazorBone™—Folding Knife with Three Interchangeable Blades 

Outdoor Edge has announced the introduction of the new RazorBone replaceable blade knife. Accepting a 3.5-inch drop-point blade, a 5-inch boning/fillet blade and a new gutting blade, the new RazorBone offers the ultimate solution to processing big game from start to finish, allowing you to field dress, skin, debone and prepare perfect cuts of meat with a single knife that never needs sharpening. With three blade options, the new RazorBone will be the ultimate choice of knives for avid hunters.

The 3.5-inch, general-purpose drop-point blade is a true workhorse for field-dressing and skinning while the new gutting blade will open game like a zipper without piercing vital organs and the reliable, surgically-sharp, boning/fillet blade will process meat quickly and efficiently. Each of the three blades locks securely into the RazorBone’s black-oxide coted stainless steel blade holder to provide the strength and rigidity of a traditional knife, while allowing ample flexibility for the 5-inch boning/fillet blade. Each blade style closes individually into the handle for the convenience of a folder and ver-satility of a multi-blade knife.

The patented RazorSafe™ exchange blade system means the perfect blade for the job is merely a button push away. Blades change quickly and easily and have a conven-ient, easy-to-store case that fits into the sheath. Each blade is precisely heat treated and hand finished shaving-sharp from Japanese 420J2 stainless steel.

The RazorBone features a double molded polymer handle that comprises a sturdy Grivory® frame with rubberized TPR inserts that is molded with an alternating pattern of the Outdoor Edge’s signature mountain range, dubbed Peak Performance Grip™ for nonslip grip when wet. This ergonomically shaped handle prevents tiring and cramp-ing during extended periods of use. It also comes complete with three 3.5-inch drop point blades, two 5-inch boning/fillet blades, one gut blade, a nylon belt sheath and polymer blade box to store the spare blades. Also, included is a practical pocket clip to keep the knife where it needs to be – ready for action.

The new RazorBone comes in blaze orange or black. It will be available at retailers nationwide this summer for a suggested retail price of $59.95.

Outdoor Edge® Introduces the B.O.A.™ Box Opening Assistant

Outdoor Edge has redefined the traditional box-cutter market with its new B.O.A. (Box Opening Assistant). This redefinition of the folding utility knife is a massive upgrade to the classic box cutter found in Dad’s toolbox. The B.O.A.’s perfect ergonomics along with extensive jimping on the stainless steel blade holder delivers power from the hand directly to the cutting edge, and the force of the cut goes exactly where intended, all while providing comfort throughout extended periods of use.

An ingenious yet simple mechanism, a safety-guarded thumb button allows quick and safe blade replacement with the flick of a finger. Constructed of 420J2 stainless steel with a sure-grip textured glass/nylon polymer handle, it’s as durable as it is lightweight. A pocket clip ensures it’s always easily accessible for use.

The B.O.A. has an overall length of 5.75 inches with the blade extended, and folds down to just 3.6 inches for carrying, making it extremely compact and pocket-friendly between uses. Weighing a mere 2.7 oz., the B.O.A. is light enough to be nimble, but it is constructed tough enough to withstand years of abuse. Available in blaze orange or black, the B.O.A. includes three standard utility razor blades. The B.O.A is available at retailers nationwide or conveniently online at app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=Bdm0Pd&mc=9y&s=0XmxF&u=Bsb1&y=E&z=Et6jGDe&>www.outdooredge.com for a suggested retail price of $16.95.

Outdoor Edge’s New Grill-Beam Tongs and Grill-Beam Tong/Spatula Cast a New Light on Grilling

I've tried just about every grill light known to man or woman over the past few years -- and all failed to please me. They were either bulky to hold, wouldn't stay attached to the grill, or fell apart shortly after purchase.

The Grill-Beam Tong/Spatula combo feature an added grill cleaning notch and serrated edge to cut into the meat and check for doneness.

Crafted of sturdy, dishwasher-safe, 304 stainless steel, matched with a heat-resistant Zytel glass/nylon handle, the Grill-Beam tools are built strong enough to lift a heavy roast and will ensure a lifetime of use. A clip mounted at the end of each Grill-Beam makes them easy to close and store away. They are also lightweight, weighing in at only 16.6 oz.
