Game Warden K9 Koda and Game Warden Jake Voter Locate Missing 2-Year-Old

Maine Warden Service K9 Koda and Game Warden Jake Voter located a missing two-year-old girl in Jay early Tuesday afternoon.

The child and her mother were together outside their home on Tripp Lane in Jay this morning. At one point while doing chores outside, the mother noticed that the toddler was missing.

After a quick search of the immediate area by family members failed to locate the child, the mother called 911 at 11:00 this morning. Due to the child’s age, multiple agencies immediately responded, including Franklin Sheriff’s Office, Jay Police Department, Jay Fire Department, Northstar EMS and 14 Maine Game Wardens including 2 Warden K9’s.

A search of the buildings and woods quickly commenced. At approximately 1:15 p.m., Game Warden Voter and K9 Koda located the child in thick brush about 300 yards northwest of the back of the house. The child was healthy and alert and had only minor scrapes received from walking through the woods. The child was quickly examined and released by emergency medical personnel and reunited with her family. ?

“Warden Voter and K9 Koda did an excellent job locating this young toddler in the thick woods where she was hidden by the brush,” said Maine Game Warden Sergeant Scott Thrasher, “Given the child’s age, it was important to get multiple searchers here quickly and get them searching. It was great teamwork by multiple agencies that made for a very happy ending for the toddler and her family.”

Washington, D.C. — Gun Owners of America (GOA) today led a coalition of top firearms manufacturers and industry leaders in urging Congress to repeal the unconstitutional gun taxes imposed under the National Firearms Act of 1934. In a letter sent to Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, GOA and its No Compromise Alliance partners demanded that lawmakers use budget reconciliation to pass the Hearing Protection Act and the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today (SHORT) Act—fully and without compromise.

The coalition emphasized that reconciliation offers a rare opportunity to repeal the outdated $200 transfer tax on suppressors and short-barreled rifles without triggering the Senate filibuster or violating Byrd Rule restrictions. Read more

During National Police Week, DNR Honors Fallen Officers’ Service

GW:  Don’t forget to honor law enforcement by lowering flags at half-staff for May 15th.  This day is often ignored by many establishments and private citizens for the long-standing flag protocol.

Just about every conservation officer describes their work as incredibly rewarding – some would even call it a “dream career” – but the reality of harm is always present.

During National Police Week, May 11-17, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources joins communities across the United States to honor and remember those law enforcement officers who were killed or died as a result of incidents that occurred during the line of duty.

“We will never forget our fallen,” said Lt. Jeremy Payne, DNR law supervisor in Bay City, who helps coordinate the annual fallen officer events. “Our 17 brothers who paved the path before us went to work one day with the intent to return to their loved ones at the end of their shift. They were sons, husbands, fathers, brothers, grandfathers and friends, and they made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that, today, we all have the opportunity to enjoy Michigan’s vast natural resources.” Read more

Excalibur Unleashes the Hybrid X

Excalibur Crossbow is rewriting the rules of the compound crossbow market with the Hybrid X—a breakthrough in durability, reliability, and raw performance. The Hybrid X merges Excalibur’s legendary recurve durability with an all-new, state-of-the-art InnerDrive compound cam system.

Designed for the die-hard hunters who demand performance and are sick of compromising reliability to get it with other compound crossbows on the market, the Hybrid X dominates with real speeds up to 435 FPS and an ultra-narrow, maneuverable profile, measuring just a 5.3” axle to axle. This compound crossbow is the first in the industry to allow hunters to change strings and cables, or adjust cam timing in the field, without a press. Simply put, the Hybrid X is far beyond just another crossbow with cams— it’s the first compound crossbow built to get the job done, no matter what. Read more

Cornwall Dam will be renovated this year to address safety concerns

Renovations to Cornwall Dam will begin in May and extend through fall to satisfy state dam safety requirements. Vehicle access to the Cornwall Creek Flooding’s day-use area will be closed during this period, and a detour of the Shore-to-Shore equestrian trail will be in place.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division, which owns the dam, committed to restoring the Cheboygan County dam in 2019. The flooding’s water levels were partially lowered in 2024, following a Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Dam Safety Program recommendation to address concerns with aging infrastructure and embankment seepage issues.
