CCRKBA: Bloomberg Bought Va., Now He’s Trying to Buy the U.S.

BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety lobbying group will spend at least $60 million to support gun control candidates in 2020, leading the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to declare “Last year he bought Virginia, now he’s trying to buy the United States.”

“Virginia was a test of Bloomberg’s buying power,” CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb observed, “and look how that has worked out. Now his gun prohibition lobbying group is promising to roll out the big bucks to buy state legislative and congressional races nationwide. He is weaponizing his wealth in an attempt to purchase the presidency, along with Capitol Hill and every state legislature in hopes of forcing every American to live under his dictates.” Read more

Montana hunters speak up in support of more public hunting access to better manage elk herds

More than 1,200 Montana hunters have spoken up in support of increasing public access to hunt elk on private and public lands during the late October and November general season in order to better manage our state’s elk herds.

That was among the findings of a survey of more than 1,200 Montana elk hunters conducted by the Montana Wildlife Federation to gauge public support for different approaches to elk management. The survey asked hunters several questions about management of elk in the state.

Eight in 10 respondents said in the survey it is very important or important to increase public access for hunting during the general season to achieve better elk management. Montana has the longest general rifle opportunity for deer and elk in the West, with a five week season. For decades, public hunting during the general hunting season has been the primary management tool for elk and Montana hunters said they want to maintain that, and return to an emphasis on the five week season.

Whitetails Unlimited Deer Camp Tour 2020 Just Getting Started

Whitetails Unlimited’s Deer Camp Tour 2020 is off and running with the first events taking place on January 4 in Fort Kearney, Nebraska and Austin, Minnesota. WTU plans on holding over 80 Deer Camps in 23 different states during 2020.

Tickets for Deer Camp events have become a hot commodity, with many events selling out quickly. “Each Deer Camp has a limited amount of tickets available,” says Whitetails Unlimited Program Services Director Russ Austad. “Attending a Deer Camp has become a tradition for a lot of our members so when tickets go on sale, they sell fast.” Each attendee will also receive a 2020 Deer Camp shirt at the event featuring the logos of WTU’s 65 Deer Camp sponsors. The shirts are redesigned each year, which has made them somewhat of a collector’s item. Whitetails Unlimited would like to extend a special thank you to the 2020 sponsors who help make the Deer Camp Tour a huge success. Read more

Michigan: snowmobile trails in eastern U.P. reopen after massive storm cleanup

Thanks to a true team effort between the DNR and snowmobile grant sponsors, more than 120 miles of state-designated trails in Chippewa and eastern Mackinac counties have been cleared and are ready to welcome back snowmobilers. A storm that began in late December dumped ice and snow across the eastern Upper Peninsula, snapping power poles, breaking branches and leaving many miles of trail impassable because of the debris.

“I’ve never seen a storm like that,” said Rob Shields, a DNR forest fire supervisor based in Sault Ste. Marie. “On top of ice, we were hit with 6 inches of wet, sloppy snow and ice on top of that. It just started snapping trees.” Read more

Ducks Unlimited to auction off rare hunting opportunity

Helena event awarding Montana’s only state-wide Shiras moose permit

HELENA, Mont. – Ducks Unlimited is auctioning off a rare Montana Shiras moose license. Each year, the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission (MFWP) allows one conservation group to auction off a permit that allows the winner to hunt in any moose hunting district in the state. If you want a chance to win this golden ticket, you can participate in the March 6, 2020, auction happening at the Helena Ducks Unlimited dinner.

DU holds the auction on behalf of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP), and proceeds go toward moose research and habitat conservation in Montana. Participants may bid for the permit in-person during the dinner at the Helena Civic Center or over the phone. Ducks Unlimited receives up to 10 percent of the winning bid for expenses.

Register at www.helenadu.org.

“Last year’s winning bid of $37,000 provided much needed funding for MFWP’s moose research projects,” said Jake Hansen, chair of the DU moose auction. “Ducks Unlimited is interested in MFWP’s moose program because waterfowl also benefit from the same habitat. Much of the habitat Ducks Unlimited conserves not only benefits waterfowl, but moose as well.” Read more

Michigan: April summit aims to build industry interest in mass timber

Stronger than steel, fire-resistant and sustainable, mass timber is an emerging building material catching the interest of architects and tradespeople throughout the U.S. and Europe. Closer to home, building industry leaders, tradespeople, lumber manufacturers and forest managers will meet April 20-21 at the Michigan Mass Timber Summit in East Lansing to explore new, innovative possibilities for wood-based construction.

Mass timber framing uses large solid or engineered wood columns. These techniques allow for tall buildings to be created out of renewable timber instead of concrete or steel, meaning that future skylines could include wooden skyscrapers. Read more
