The Flex Cam for Hunts

The Flex Cam is a game changer for anyone who desires to share his or her outdoor experience. Thanks to the Flex Cam Firearm Adapter, shotgun hunters can now film all of their hunts by themselves, which is especially convenient when hunting weary spring gobblers. Bringing a cameraman along has its perks, but remaining concealed and going undetected is much easier when hunting alone.

The Flex Cam is as easy and convenient as it gets. Attach the device onto your gun with the Firearm Adapter, and simply snap in your video-capable phone or small camcording device. Once it is installed, all you have to do is hit record, sit back and wait for that trophy of a lifetime to come strolling by. Weighing less than 7oz,. this easily adjustable device is a must-have in any season for all hunters. Read more

Captive Deer Breeding

From Kip Adams – Kip’s Corner

During the past few legislative sessions one or two states each year initiated captive deer breeding legislation. QDMA opposed each on a case-by-case basis and urged our members to do the same. The 2011-12 legislative session was far different however, as 10 states ultimately debated captive deer breeding bills. QDMA opposed each and issued a national press release (http://www.qdma.com/news/qdma-urges-hunters-in-seven-states-to-oppose-deer-breeding-legislation) urging all hunters to do the same. This national release gained much attention across the hunting and deer breeding communities, and caused a flurry of letters, questions, and mis-guided comments. QDMA then issued a FAQ sheet on our stance on captive deer breeding to provide additional information on the risks of this issue and to elaborate on some points in our initial press release. The following information was included in that FAQ sheet. Read more

The patent-pending Tree Stand Up™ is removed after the ladder stand is up so it can be used with multiple stands. Read more

Michigan’s Elk Management Plan

By Glen Wunderlich

A new Elk Management Plan was approved by Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Director Rodney Stokes at the April 5 meeting of the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) in Lansing.  The plan incorporates an adaptive approach to management, whereby necessary changes to the plan can be implemented based on results.

Michigan’s current elk herd in an area north of Atlanta is the result of a release of seven animals from “various city parks and public institutions” in 1918 about three miles southeast of Wolverine. The herd grew steadily with estimates of 300-400 in 1939 and 900 to 1,000 in 1958.  The Department of Natural Resources (department) is officially charged with the management of resident wildlife in Michigan by virtue of a 1996 referendum requiring the department to use principles of sound scientific management in decisions relative to the taking of game.  With this in mind, the department has unveiled a new elk management plan with the following goals: Read more
