RMEF Conserves Wisconsin Elk Habitat

MISSOULA, Mont.—The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation permanently protected key elk habitat in Wisconsin elk country by first acquiring and then conveying a 360-acre inholding to Jackson County Forest.

“This is a crucial transaction because it prevents the potential of development and fragmentation within an area that is vital to Wisconsin’s newest elk herd,” said Blake Henning, RMEF chief conservation officer. “It also both improves and increases public access for hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities.”

The Morrison Creek property is surrounded on three sides by the 122,000-acre Jackson County Forest and is located less than three miles east from where more than 70 elk were released in 2015-2016. The area also provides year-round habitat for black bear, whitetail deer, wild turkey and an array of other wildlife species. Read more

Inceptor Ammunition Introduces 450 Bushmaster

SAVANNAH, Ga. –– Inceptor Ammunition is pleased to introduce a 450 Bushmaster offering to its ARX® Preferred Hunting product line. Built with Inceptor’s patented injection-molding process and design and proprietary copper-polymer materials, the new load gives hunters a powerful lead-free option in the unique cartridge. The new option will be available in early spring 2018.

The Hammer has been conceived, designed and engineered in America and is being made in the U.S.A. Its assembly will take place in Fort Smith, Arkansas within the facility of Umarex USA.

The Hammer represents powerful innovation in air rifles and I couldn’t be more excited that we’re equipped to build it right here.”
