If there’s one thing all successful deer hunters have in common, it’s the ability to adapt. There’s no universal formula for success, even on any given property. Deer change their patterns, woods change over time, and hunters who want to harvest big bucks learn to move around and be flexible. The Millennium T100 Tripod Stand gives hunters a lightweight and extremely mobile shooting platform.
Unlike any other hunting tripod, the T100 features Millennium’s exclusive GoLITE Design. This T100 weighs in at only 36 pounds and is ultra-compact so that it is easy to carry and deploy. The T100 provides a hunting height of 10 feet to the hunter’s eye level, perfect for areas with low ground cover. Should a hunter need a little extra height, a 4-foot extension is available (T103).

SITKA Gear, a pioneer in the outdoor apparel industry, presents Diverge 12, the annual photo contest with a unique platform created to deepen the art of hunting storytelling and portray the lives of hunters in an honest and inspiring way. This contest, now in its 12th year, shifts focus from the harvest of game species to the broader, more authentic hunting experience.
Instead of focusing on “grip-and-grin” photos, SITKA Gear’s Diverge 12 photo contest addresses the need to share the “moments in between” that accurately depict and celebrate the hunting experience. It expands the definition of “trophy” to encompass any experience in the field that is hard-earned, ethically considered and mindful of future generations. It’s about presenting hunting stories that inspire and honor our shared hunting heritage.
“Capturing the holistic hunting experience is a powerful way to convey the true spirit and beauty of hunting and the outdoors,” said Todd Barker, Marketing Director at SITKA Gear. “The SITKA Diverge Photo Contest encourages hunters and photographers to share the real, unfiltered stories from their pursuits.”
SITKA Gear invites all hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to participate in Diverge 12 by sharing their moments of triumph, suffering, reflection and adventure.
Contest Categories: Big Game, Whitetail, Waterfowl, Turkey, The Life, and Roughcuts
Category winners, as well as the grand prize winner, will receive exciting prizes from SITKA Gear and participating brand partners.

A 4-year-old doe that was reported to be in poor condition – skinny, drooling and showing no fear of people – in Klacking Township, Ogemaw County, recently tested positive for chronic wasting disease. It is the first CWD-positive wild deer from that county, a finding confirmed by the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Madison, which works with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to identify CWD in Michigan’s wild herd.
CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects white-tailed deer, elk and moose. To date, the disease also has been detected in the following Michigan counties: Clinton, Dickinson, Eaton, Gratiot, Hillsdale, Ingham, Ionia, Isabella, Jackson, Kent, Midland and Montcalm.
“When we find chronic wasting disease in a brand-new location, where previous intensive surveillance has not yet been done, it becomes extremely important for wildlife disease managers to understand where additional cases might be within that county,” said DNR deer and elk specialist Chad Stewart. “In light of this new detection, we are offering additional opportunities for those interested in getting their deer tested for CWD in Ogemaw County.” Read more
