Field Dressed Venison to Become Available

NDA and WDNR Provide Community Support through Venison Donations

The Coulee Country Branch of the National Deer Association is excited to announce its latest donation plan which brings field dressed venison to those in the Wisconsin area. Through much of the Coulee Region the deer herd is in over abundance. To help trim the deer herd to healthy levels, many of the members of the Coulee Country Branch will be harvesting and donating venison.

“This is a great way for hunters to give back to the community,” said Kim Zuhlke of the local Coulee Country Branch of the NDA. “The field dressed venison that comes out of this operation is a sustainability grown and high-quality source of protein, so we’re happy to be providing this to the community on top of helping to counteract over abundance.”

For those looking to receive a field dressed deer, the Coulee Country Branch is now collecting names. To be eligible, send contact information to venisonconnection@gmail.com. The deer lymph nodes will be submitted for free CWD testing and the recipient will be responsible for the processing of the deer. Read more

Viridian Releases the PINCH 35-Degree Adjustable Offset Mount

Viridian Weapon Technologies, innovator of firearm accessories, proudly introduces the PINCH 35-Degree Adjustable Offset Mount. This rifle accessory redefines versatility and accuracy, setting new standards for quick optic transitions and precision shooting, especially when ‘in a pinch.’

The PINCH mount features three adaptable positions that enable shooters to customize their configurations to suit personal preferences or accommodate different primary optic sizes, all while preserving the ideal 35-degree offset angle. Expertly machined from premium 6061 aluminum and coated with a durable anodized finish, the PINCH mount is meticulously designed to withstand the most demanding usage scenarios.

“I take immense pride in the PINCH’s efficient and intuitive design. While it may appear simple, it’s the subtle intricacies that make all the difference in a shooter’s ability to transition quickly and accurately,” said Viridian Director of Engineering, Casey Carlson. “Our goal was to create an optic mount that enhances speed by limiting unnecessary motion and allowing adjustments to match the shooters equipment and preferences.”

The 35-degree offset angle has been meticulously tested and proven as the optimal angle for swift transitions between primary and secondary optics. This angle ensures shooters can effortlessly switch between optics with minimal movement, enhancing both speed and accuracy in critical situations. The PINCH comes available with ACRO, RMR, Docter / Burris FF / Vortex Venom, and Shield RMSc mounting plates. MSRP $79 Read more

Rutted-Up’s Defender Is the Ultimate Hunting Blind

Cantril, IA – The Defender from Rutted-Up Blinds offers hunters a versatile solution to sitting out long hunts in the fiercest elements.

The Defender features eight large windows that lock out in any and all positions – wherever you turn the handle. The windows are 100% smoked but provide a clear view for filming or hunting in low-light conditions.

Built to withstand anything nature can throw at it, the airtight Defender’s roof measures approximately 2-3 inches thick with rigid insulating foam, while the floor measures 4 inches thick with crossmember plywood and half-inch plywood above and below the rigid insulating foam. No plywood is exposed to the elements — it’s either covered with steel or fiberglass. Fork pockets are integrated into the base, which attach to the floor of every blind, for safe and easy setup. The Defender’s steel exterior is finished in Mossy Oak Bottomland with 20-year fade resistance.

Inside, the ceiling has inch-thick sound-absorbing foam. The interior walls are fully insulated with 1.5-inch rigid insulating foam and covered with premium automotive-grade sound deadening carpet. The blind features shelving throughout with cup holders and rubber clip-style gun holders for added safety.

All Rutted-Up Blinds are available in three different sizes in nine configurations for gun only, archery only, or gun/archery combo with an interior height of 7 feet.

SAF Files Opposition Brief to Bona Motion for Summary Judgement

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed its opposition to a motion by California Attorney General Rob Bonta for summary judgment in a December 2020 case challenging the state’s one-handgun-per-month limit. The case is known as Nguyen v. Bonta.

Joining SAF in the lawsuit are the Firearms Policy Coalition, Inc., San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, North County Shooting Center, Inc., PWGG, L.P., a limited partnership, and six private citizens. Defendants are California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Luis Lopez, director of the state Department of Justice, Bureau of Firearms in their official capacities. The original lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in San Diego, and so was SAF’s new opposition document. Plaintiffs are represented by attorney Raymond M. DiGuiseppe of Southport, N.C.

As noted in the response, SAF and its partners tell the court, “After almost three years of litigation, three rounds of dispositive briefing, and being on the cusp of yet another expansion of the 30-day commercial firearm purchase ban at issue here (the “OGM law”), a proper resolution is not just long overdue but of pressing need. The right outcome was clear way back before Bruen, when this case was first filed…the OGM law must be stricken as unconstitutional.” Read more
