Outdoor commentary and legislative issues.
The Department of Natural Resources recently developed a video to assist anglers and the public in identifying juvenile Asian carp. The video was produced in collaboration with Michigan Out of Doors Television. The DNR is doing many things to prevent adult Asian carp (bighead and silver) from entering the Great Lakes, but many people don’t realize that juvenile Asian carp pose a threat to the state’s waters as well.

Hatsan, known throughout the world as a premier airgun manufacturer, has entered the U.S. market with HatsanUSA Inc.. To mark its debut, the company has turned up the cool factor with its tactical style air rifle that is perfect for target shooting, pest control and anything in-between. The AT44-10TACT is able to shoot high-density lead pellets with a muzzle velocity of up to 1070 feet per second, squashing the common misconception that airguns just aren’t that powerful. Available in three calibers – .177cal (1070fps), .22cal (970fps), and .25cal (870fps) – this tactical airgun is able to reach such powerful velocities by utilizing a Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) system.

You can blame it all on me. Just point your index finger in my direction when they ask, “Did you order this?” And, when the first one of the season wonders if it’s cold enough for you, just mumble what you will. This arctic blast is entirely my fault.
Hunker down, put another log on the fire and add an extra blanket. It’s now unofficially late deer season and cold comes with the territory. Bring on the white stuff! In my seventh decade as a Michigander, I’ve learned to love what others dread.
No, I’m not a masochist. However, I’ve learned that when the temperature drops, more fuel is required. And, when it comes to whitetail deer, fuel is food. Find food. Find deer. And, sit.

Bend, OR — Like many shooting enthusiasts, the Nosler family has always dreamed of introducing a new rifle cartridge to the industry; that time is finally here with the arrival of the 26 Nosler®.
The goal of the new 26 Nosler® cartridge was to introduce something to the shooting sports industry that took full advantage of new technology available to shooters including the advance of optics, reticle systems and of course high Ballistic Coefficient (B.C.) bullets such as the AccuBond® Long Range™ line. The old boundaries are about to be pushed to new limits.
The 26 Nosler® cartridge was designed to take advantage of the inherently accurate and high B.C. 6.5mm (.264) caliber bullets, and is capable of shooting the Nosler® 129 grain, AccuBond® Long Range™ bullet at a blazing 3400 fps out of the muzzle. Zeroed at 350 yards, the 26 Nosler® has a Point Blank Range of 0-415 yards. Loaded with the 129gr ABLR, the 26 Nosler® retains as much velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington® produces at the muzzle. Read more
This one comes from my friend at www.outdoorpressroom.com and it could be a whopper. It has been reported that a teenage hunter lost his rifle in a particularly unusual manner. Believe it nor not, it’s here…
So, it’s not outdoor related, but I still like it.
The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree…and think 25 to life would be
appropriate.
