MOJO® Outdoors, the world leader in motion decoys, is excited to release the redesigned Flock A Flicker™ 2 this season.
The patented (Pat. No. 10,517,291) Flock A Flicker™ proved to be one of the most popular waterfowl hunting products to come along since the spinning wing decoy. WHY? Because they worked when used in multiple units, as they mimic the random, quick “flashes” or “strobe” given off by a flock of contented ducks sitting on the water or dry ground, telling other ducks: It’s OK to land here. If you observe a flock of contented ducks, you will see these random “flashes” that rotate or flicker throughout.
MOJO® has improved on this ground-breaking concept with the re-designed Flock A Flicker™ 2 (4-Pack), which includes an upgraded housing with all other components the same as the original, which emits the same flash. With any spinning wing product, faster is better, and these blades (or wings) turn super fast. Packaged in a set of 4, add multiple sets to your spread for an ultra realistic look.
MISSOULA, Mont. — The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, GOHUNT, Randy Newberg and Corey Jacobsen, as partners, are proud to unveil OutdoorClass, an online learning hub unlike any other for hunters of all experience and skill levels.
“We are excited to be a partner on and announce this cutting-edge educational endeavor designed for hunters,” said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO. “This platform is centered on instruction and mentorship for those new to hunting as well as nuanced insights and techniques for those who have hunted for decades.”
OutdoorClass will launch with four multi-chapter courses on any device taught by Jacobsen, Newberg, Remi Warren and Jaime Teigen who break down early and late season elk hunting, mule deer hunting and wild game cooking. With many hours of content, this subscription-based offering provides unlimited viewing of all courses.
“Our production value is second to none,” says GOHUNT President and Co-founder Chris Porter. “Besides the skill and knowledge of our experts, our courses use detailed graphics and video to show subscribers exactly what to do, which is so much more valuable than just telling them. This attention to detail is what separates OutdoorClass from anything else that is out there today.” Read more
The New York State Legislature adjourned over the weekend without passing the ill-conceived Senate Bill (SB) 2814, titled the “Big Five African Trophies Act,” after extensive advocacy efforts from SCI members and staff. If enacted, SB 2814 would have banned the importation, transportation, and possession of five major African wildlife species, including the African elephant, lion, leopard, black rhinoceros, white rhinoceros, and giraffe.
As hunters know, the passage of emotionally based legislation such as this would have a devastating effect on the sustainable conservation of these species, which relies on managed, legal hunting programs run by sovereign African wildlife countries.
New York SB 2814, introduced by Senator Luis R. Sepúlveda, flies in the face of decades of well-established scientific research completed by wildlife experts throughout Africa, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the U.S. government, and Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and others.

SWANSBORO, N.C.– High Speed Gear® releases two new K9 leads for working dog handlers.
Earlier this year Sgt. Dawn Jauernik and her K9 Bonito from the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office, inspired High Speed Gear® to create the Bonito 15’ Tracking Lead.
HSGI® has now added the K9 Adjustable Patrol Lead and the K9 Traffic Lead to the product line up. They are built from Mil-Spec tubular nylon webbing and have powder coated steel hardware for ultimate durability. These leads are made with Schoeller™ Nanosphere™ coating which repels water, dirt, debris and fur.
The Adjustable Patrol Lead can be adjusted from 3ft to 7ft and is designed to keep a medium distance between the K9 and handler.
The 1.5ft two-handle Traffic Lead allows the handler to have more overall control of the K9, whether performing a routine traffic stop, search and seizure, or awaiting to deploy a K9 for a foot pursuit.
“For years, High Speed Gear has designed the highest quality gear for professionals who rely on it the most” said Shelbie O’Brien, Sr. Commercial Business Development Manager for HSGI. “Now we are pleased to do the same for K9’s as well.” Read more

HELENA, MT (May 17, 2022) – The Airgun Sporting Association, the trade organization of the airgun industry, today announced that beginning with the 2022 alligator season, Florida will allow the use of arrow shooting airguns for alligator hunting.
During their May 3-4 meeting in Gainesville, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission approved the use of arrow shooting airguns for alligator harvest. The only requirement is that the airgun be a pre-charge pneumatic (PCP) and that the arrow be tethered to a restraining line to allow recovery of the alligator.
Commission staff will be working on incorporating this new opportunity into their 2022 alligator season regulations. You can read more about alligators and the new regulations at MyFWC.com/alligators.
“Florida has been a long-time supporter of airgun hunting and this is another step forward for the Commission” stated Mitch King, ASA President. “Allowing the use of arrow shooting airguns will provide another great recreational harvest opportunity for Florida hunters.” Read more
HELENA, MT (May 18, 2022) – The Airgun Sporting Association, the trade organization of the airgun industry, today announced that West Virginia will soon be allowing air rifle hunting for both small and big game.
On May 3, Governor Justice signed legislation that modified Article 2 (Wildlife Resources) of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding a new section (Section 20-2-5k). This new section legalized airguns for hunting both small game and big game during regular firearms seasons provided that county specific regulations do not prohibit firearms for deer hunting. The change prohibits the use of air rifles during muzzleloader seasons and the Mountaineer Heritage Season. Also, arrow shooting air rifles are prohibited for both small and big game hunting.
