Safari Club International and Partners Move to Halt Catalina Island Mule Deer Eradication Pending Outcome of Litigation

Leave a comment

Today, Safari Club International (“SCI”) and its litigation partners asked the Los Angeles County Superior Court to block any shooting of mule deer on Santa Catalina Island while their challenge to the legality of the deer-eradication plan proceeds. SCI’s involvement in this case is supported by the non-profit SCI Center for Conservation Law and Education.

Earlier this year, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife bypassed full environmental review and approved a permit for the Catalina Island Conservancy to implement the Catalina Island Restoration Project, a multi-phase effort that purports to use deer eradication and habitat manipulation to restore “native” species to the island.

The project is scheduled to begin baiting and shooting deer in September 2026. Accordingly, SCI and its partners have requested the Court preserve the status quo before irreversible action begins. Read more

Long Live Michigan’s Sturgeon!

A spawning lake sturgeon in the Sturgeon River in Baraga County.Lake sturgeon lifespans may be even longer than we thought

By EDWARD BAKER, PhD., Marquette Fisheries Research Station manager and MARCEE WARDELL, communications specialist, Fisheries Division, Michigan Department of Natural Resources

Lake sturgeon: the living fossils.

They’ve earned this moniker not only because they first appeared in the fossil record at least 100 million years ago or because their bony scutes give them a dino-like appearance, but because of their long lives.

According to previous research, lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) have a lifespan of up to 150 years.

A close-up of a lake sturgeon captured for egg collection and tagging in the Sturgeon River in Baraga County.But a new study published by researchers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Michigan State University, Michigan Technological University and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources suggests that lake sturgeon may live longer than previously thought — much longer.

Michigan DNR announces adjusted hours at four managed waterfowl areas

Waterfowl hunting at Fish Point

July 30, 2026

Increased costs, reduced staffing result in changes for fall 2026 season

Decreasing revenues, increasing costs from inflation and years of deferred maintenance on critical infrastructure have prompted the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to adjust hours at four managed waterfowl areas this fall.

The change will mean fewer daily draw opportunities for hunters. Reserved hunts will continue as planned, and all changes will take effect after the 2026 duck season opening weekends.

“We have shielded our managed waterfowl areas from the impact of budget constraints over the last several years because of the value of these places, but we can’t afford to do that anymore,” DNR Director Scott Bowen said. “Highly engaged hunting communities often help steward these areas, and their contributions have driven our commitment to maintain services at a time of revenue declines. However, the truth is that we can no longer sustain the same amount of service with reduced staffing levels statewide.” Read more

Jogger Attacked by Bear at Henrys Lake State Park, Idaho

Leave a comment

In the early morning of July 24, an adult male was attacked by a bear while jogging with his dog along the Aspen Loop Trail at Henrys Lake State Park.

The man sustained injuries, but was able to walk out on his own. The dog was uninjured and followed him out safely. At around 8:00 a.m., the individual was transported by ambulance to Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg to be treated for his injuries.

Idaho Fish and Game, along with Fremont County Deputies, quickly secured the scene to begin an investigation of the incident. A sweep of the trail system at Henrys Lake State Park and adjacent area was conducted from both the ground and air, thanks to the use of the Sherriff’s Office drone. The site where the attack occurred was discovered, but no bears were found in the area.

Due to the surprise nature of the attack, and no sign of bears in the area, no further actions are being taken at this time. Read more

Shell Shock Technologies Launches NAS³ Primed Cases in .308 and 5.56 NATO

Leave a comment

Factory-primed nickel alloy rifle cases bring Shell Tech’s lightweight, corrosion-resistant NAS3 platform to precision, hunting, and duty-grade custom rifle ammunition assembly.

Eubank, Ky. – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, today announced the launch of NAS3™ Primed Cases in .308/7.62x51mm and 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington, expanding the company’s rifle case lineup with a factory-primed option built for shooters who assemble their own precision, hunting, and duty ammunition.

Like all NAS3 cases, the new primed rifle cases are constructed from SST’s proprietary nickel alloy body paired with a stainless-steel head, a two-piece design engineered to be up to 50 percent lighter than traditional brass while offering roughly twice the tensile strength and greater elasticity. The nickel alloy construction also delivers strong corrosion resistance and smooth, consistent feeding and extraction. By arriving factory-primed, the new cases eliminate a manual step in the case-preparation process, allowing shooters to move directly to charging and seating projectiles.

Built for the .308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO platforms, the new NAS3 .308 Win./7.62x51mm Primed Cases are aimed at precision rifle competitors, hunters, and duty-focused shooters who demand consistency at distance. The cases’ uniform wall thickness and tight dimensional tolerances support tighter velocity spreads and more consistent accuracy at standard SAAMI pressures across a wide range of .308-class projectiles, from lightweight varmint loads to heavier hunting bullets.
