Ranew’s Outdoors Gambrel and Scale


Ranew’s Outdoors Gambrel and Scale:
Deer Processing and Management Made EasyHow much did the last buck you shot weigh?

If you don’t know, but would like to know the weight of the deer you tag this coming season, Ranew’s Outdoor Equipment has an elegant solution for you: their combination gambrel and scale.

The scale is integrated into the gambrel, allowing you to hang, weigh, dress and quarter game without having to put the animal on a scale to get the weight, then move it for skinning. You can engage the scale or take the weight off with a click of a pin, and you can get the live weight of the animal, the dressed weight, and even weigh the quarters. Read more

Legislation Introduced  for State-based Wildlife Conservation Funding

(Washington, DC) – Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) Members Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (NE) and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI) introduced H.R. 4647, the bipartisan Recovering America’s Wildlife Act. This bipartisan bill aims to meet the increasing need for proactive wildlife conservation funding for the full array of our nation’s fish and wildlife resources and the habitats on which they depend.

Specifically, the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act will annually redirect $1.3 billion in funding in existing revenue from royalties collected on onshore and offshore energy and mineral development on federal lands and waters to be used to provide proactive funding for state-based wildlife conservation.

This legislation will not establish any new taxes at the expense of taxpayers or the businesses that are currently contributing anywhere from $5 billion to $12 billion in royalties from the development of energy and mineral resources on federal lands and waters. Read more
