UTG Everyday Defense L-Light

We often encounter challenges throughout our everyday lives. Some are big, some are small, but no matter what it might be, overcoming it is much easier with proper tools and know-how. That is why UTG just introduced its brand new Everyday Defense L-Light. This compact 400 lumen powerhouse is designed to adapt to any scenario and situation that you might encounter. The light was designed for heavy duty use with its IPX7 waterproof rating and aircraft grade aluminum construction, while its sub-compact size and removable pocket clip make it easy for everyday carry.

The most unique attribute of this light is its L.I.B.R.E Technology. L.I.B.R.E stands for Light with Integrated Brightness Regulate Emitter. This Emitter allows you to smoothly scale down the brightness from 400 to 20 lumens by using the L-Light’s rear lumen control pad. Once the desired brightness is selected you will be able to retain your setting with the light’s memory function. A quick double tap of the rear button will activate the full power 400 lumen strobe. The top button works like a master switch that functions as a momentary or constant on/off switch for the full power 400 lumen as well. The L-shape of the light makes it very ergonomic and easy to manipulate both buttons while pointing the light at the desired location. Read more

Sellmark Stands With Texas Hog Hunters Association to Oppose Sid Miller

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS) – Sellmark and its brands stand with the Texas Hog Hunters Association in helping to stop the introduction of a new Warfarin based pesticide, approved by Texas AG Sid Miller, to control the feral hog population. Sellmark and Texas Hog Hunters Association believe in hunting, trapping and aerial management to protect landowners from the millions of dollars of damage hogs cause each year, but discourage the inhumane and unsafe use of poisons. While Warfarin may kill hogs, it may also put other wildlife, humans and the entire ecosystem in harm’s way.

“For Texas to introduce a poison into the equation is a bad decision and could likely contaminate humans who unknowingly process and eat feral hogs,” said Texas Hog Hunters Association founder Scott Dover. Sellmark President James Sellers added, “We want to take a stand against using poisons to control wildlife populations. Any animal that accidentally ingests the poison or feeds on a hog carcass may be exposed to the harmful toxin; humans relying on feral hogs for sustenance may also be at risk. Read more

Consumers Energy Foundation awards grant to support Michigan Arctic Grayling Initiative

Arctic Grayling fish swimmingThe Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians and Michigan Technological University have received a Consumers Energy Foundation grant of $117,175 to support efforts to bring back the extirpated Arctic grayling to Michigan waters.

Michigan’s Arctic Grayling Initiative was announced in June 2016 and consists of 32 organizations that are partnering together to reintroduce this culturally significant species.

The Consumers Energy Foundation grant will fund work during 2017 to address two immediate needs for a successful reintroduction. The first is the collection of habitat and fish community data in the upper Big Manistee River. This waterbody historically was a premier Arctic grayling river and is believed to hold high-quality habitats for this species. The second is to create an outreach plan to engage Michigan citizens in the reintroduction efforts and to once again make Arctic grayling an important part of Michigan’s heritage. Read more
