The venture will combine the strengths, resources and core initiatives of QDMA and NDA into a single, modernized outfit able to serve deer, hunters and the industry more effectively at a time when the need is greatest.

Boards of Directors of the two organizations completed unanimous approval of unification in late June. Nick Pinizzotto, President and CEO of NDA, will lead the new group.

Wyoming Super Tag Raffles

Hunters Support Wildlife with Chance for Ultimate Hunting Adventure

Financial demands for wildlife conservation continue to grow as new challenges emerge.  Chronic wasting disease, hunter recruitment, and invasive species were not major issues a generation ago.

Hunters have stepped up and have made huge contributions to addressing these problems through their support of the Wyoming Super Tag hunting license raffles.  The Wyoming Super Tag has raised over $4.6 million for wildlife conservation and big game management in Wyoming since its establishment in 2014.  Over $1.14 million was raised in 2019 alone.  

The Super Tag raffle includes ten license drawings, one each for bighorn sheep, moose, elk, mountain goat, wild bison, deer, antelope, mountain lion, grey wolf, and black bear.  For the separate Super Tag Trifecta raffle, one winner chooses any three species from those offered. Raffle winners are able to hunt any open area for the species selected except for moose and bison (areas with 10 or fewer licenses are restricted) and bighorn sheep (areas with 8 or fewer licenses are restricted). 

The hunting industry has also contributed.  Every time a hunter purchases five or more Super Tag tickets or two or more Trifecta tickets they are entered into a raffle to win over $16,000 worth of gear from First Lite, Weatherby, Swarovski Optik, Maven, Hoyt, Stone Glacier, Gunwerks, Meindl USA, and HuntWise.  Additionally, hunters who purchase Super Tag tickets in June are also automatically entered into win a Christensen Arms Mesa rifle with a Crimson Trace scope provided by Wyoming Sportsman’s Warehouse stores.

The deadline to purchase Super Tag tickets is July 1, 2020.  Super Tag ticket are $10, Trifecta tickets $30.  Tickets can be only purchased on the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s website.

Hornady 4DOF Ballistics App Now Communicates with Terrapin X

(Grand Island, Nebr.) — Users of the Hornady 4DOF® (4 Degrees of Freedom) Ballistic Calculator App can now obtain trajectory solutions even faster with connectivity to the Terrapin X laser rangefinder.

Hornady 4DOF® provides more accurate trajectories than standard ballistic calculators, even at extreme ranges. Trajectory solutions are based on projectile drag coefficient (not ballistic coefficient), along with exact physical modeling of the projectile, its mass and aerodynamic properties.

The app — used successfully by hundreds of thousands of shooters — works even in areas lacking wireless connectivity.

Now Terrapin X users can send range, inclination and azimuth directly to the 4DOF® app via Bluetooth — eliminating the need to enter that data by hand. Values are instantly updated within 4DOF®, providing accurate and fast ballistic solutions.

“Using the Terrapin X laser rangefinder in conjunction with the 4DOF® app allows the user to simply range the target and be provided an instant and accurate shooting solution,” Hornady ballistician Jayden Quinlan said. “Range, inclination and azimuth are important inputs the user can now supply the app in one push of a button.” Read more

Purchased by millions of waterfowl hunters, wildlife enthusiasts and stamp collectors every year, duck stamps purchases provide critical funding to purchase and protect wetlands and associated habitat for ducks, geese and other wildlife species.

Whether you’re an avid waterfowl hunter, a birder, conservation enthusiast, or a collector, every American has a good reason to buy a duck stamp, perhaps even two or three,” said Ducks Unlimited CEO Adam Putnam. “Of every dollar spent on a duck stamp, 98 cents of the purchase goes directly to acquiring and protecting waterfowl habitat, and that’s a testament to the great administration of this long-running program by the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The First Day of Sale is our opportunity to celebrate another great season and say thank you to the adult and youth artists who lend their talents to this important cause, and all those supporting and delivering wildlife conservation through their purchase of a duck stamp each year.” Read more
