Post Falls, ID. – – G9 Defense premium defensive ammunition, is pleased to announce the introduction of Safari Ammunition with Shape Charge Technology designed for safari and dangerous game hunters. Elevate your hunting game with the Shape Charge technology from G9 – where innovation meets environmental responsibility, ensuring exceptional performance and ethical hunting practices with every shot.
Until now, safari and dangerous game hunters had a dilemma; soft point bullets created wide wound channels but lacked penetration and reliability, while solid bullets penetrated deeply but left a narrow wound. G9 Safari’s lead-free Shape Charge Technology solves this problem by offering the best of both worlds. These state-of-the-art brass bullets are designed to penetrate deeply while creating large, permanent wound cavities by forcing a hydraulic jet into the surrounding tissue. The G9 Safari ammunition’s patented shape propels fluid outward, increasing the wound diameter and ensuring devastating effectiveness. Shape Charge bullets easily cut through thick hide and heavy bone, providing consistent and reliable penetration.
Once in a lifetime hunts shouldn’t be left to chance. With G9 Defense Shape Charge Safari Ammunition, hunters no longer have to compromise between deep penetration and expansive wounds, ensuring a clean, ethical take. Hunters can trust G9’s Shape Charge Technology to deliver when it matters most.

The fall fishing season for splake is coming soon! Splake fishing in the fall on Lake Superior is an experience unmatched anywhere else in the state. As temperatures drop and leaves begin to change, the splake bite picks up as the fish move nearshore.
Splake — a hybrid cross between lake trout and brook trout — have been stocked in Lake Superior most years since 1971, with annual stocking since 1990.
Marked splake have been stocked in Lake Superior since 2021 as part of an evaluation study. At the Marquette State Fish Hatchery, staff from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Lake Superior and Northern Lake Michigan management units, as well as staff from the Tribal Coordination Unit, put in long hours carefully marking the splake by hand. Splake are given a unique mark by clipping (and removing) part of either one or two fins. The fish are anesthetized during this process.
These fish are then stocked in the spring at three Lake Superior ports: Copper Harbor, Keweenaw Bay and Munising Bay. The goal is to create nearshore fishing opportunities in the smaller bays of Lake Superior, where some fisheries are available year-round. Read more
