Support Monarch Butterflies by Gathering Milkweed Seeds

Leave a comment

Picking and planting milkweed seed pods this fall can help future eastern monarch butterflies, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. These butterflies are currently migrating through Ohio on their way to Mexico, where they spend the winter.

Various species of milkweed are the only host plants for monarch caterpillars. Each spring, eastern monarchs lay eggs on milkweed as they migrate north from Mexico. Monarchs travel between 50 and 100 miles per day on a journey that may cover several thousand miles in total. After several generations, monarchs reach their northernmost range in southern Canada. In the fall, a super-generation migrates all the way to southern overwintering sites.

Anyone can play a role in supporting monarchs by planting milkweed. Milkweed is the sole host plant for monarchs and is beneficial at every stage of the insect’s life cycle. Early fall is a great time to gather milkweed pods from the landscape and plant the seeds to add valuable habitat for monarchs. For those with an abundance of milkweed, the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative (OPHI) is coordinating pod collection through local Soil and Water Conservation District locations.

Winchester Ammunition Introduces New 21 Sharp Rimfire Cartridge

Leave a comment

Winchester Ammunition introduces 21 Sharp™, a new rimfire cartridge with an innovative design that provides significant benefits for recreational shooters and small game hunters.

The new cartridge is an evolution in rimfire technology and performance. Winchester engineering expertise is at the core of the 21 Sharp design, built from the ground up for enhanced accuracy and on-target performance with both lead and lead-free projectiles. Ammo manufacturers have tried with little success to incorporate lead free projectiles into use in the venerable 22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridge. While those products are available, none have ever met the accuracy and on-target performance that a lead projectile can provide due to the original 22 LR design. The new 21 Sharp rimfire cartridge from Winchester was purposefully designed by Winchester to provide top performance with lead-free projectiles rather than accommodating them later.

The new cartridge allows for a wide range of bullet types including full metal jacket (FMJ), copper matrix and plated-lead options. Jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets will also be available in 21 Sharp, delivering extreme expansion and energy transfer.

“The 21 Sharp cartridge offers significant advantages in the rimfire category, which is one of the more popular types of firearms and ammunition used by millions of people throughout the world,” said Kyle Masinelli, Senior Director of Product Innovation and Strategy for Winchester Ammunition. “Winchester leadership in cartridge development spans more than 100 years and as the global leader in ammunition design and manufacturing; it’s our job to serve our customers with innovative products that fit their needs now and into the future. That is what has been done with 21 Sharp.”

Henry Repeating Arms Debuts Rimfire Revolver, Single Shot .410 Shotgun for Turkey Hunters

Leave a comment

RICE LAKE, Wis. – Henry Repeating Arms, the world’s leading lever-action firearms manufacturer, is introducing its first-ever rimfire revolver named after the company’s flagship Golden Boy rifle and a new .410 shotgun for turkey hunters seeking a reliable platform to maximize the benefits of Tungsten Super Shot (TSS).

Introduced in 1999, the Henry Golden Boy remains one of the world’s most popular lever-action .22 rifles on the market today. Now, a sidearm companion is available with the Henry Golden Boy Revolver. Borrowing from the same bill of materials as its rifle counterpart, this 10-shot wheel gun features a deeply blued steel medium-size frame, genuine American walnut grip panels, and a highly polished brass backstrap and trigger guard. The traditional double-action revolver has squared Gunfighter-style grips for maximum control (model H016GD) or a more compact, rounded Birdshead-style grip for better concealment (model H016BD). The 10-round cylinder features an innovative quick takedown button inside the trigger guard, making post-range cleaning and maintenance exceptionally easy. Both models share a 4” round blued steel barrel and a familiar sight system composed of a fixed notch cut directly into the rear of the frame and three different screw-in blade sights to adjust for elevation. The MSRP for both Henry Golden Boy Revolver versions is $928.00. For more information, visit henryusa.com/handguns/golden-boy-revolver.

The advent of TSS loads for .410-bore shotguns changed the game for turkey hunters, providing patterns and distances never seen from small-bore shotguns. Read more

Grizzly Bear Euthanized After Series of Conflicts with Chicken Coops, Other Attractants

Leave a comment

A grizzly bear was euthanized last week after a series of conflicts with chicken coops and other attractants near homes in the Silver Butte area south of Libby.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks wildlife specialists received reports of the bear breaking into chicken coops, greenhouses, and storage sheds on residential properties near Barren Peak Road off U.S. Highway 2. There were also reports of the bear going onto porches of homes.

The male bear, estimated to be approximately 2 years old, was exhibiting bold behavior that indicates it was conditioned to unnatural food sources. This is a habit that is very hard to break and causes human safety concerns, as bears actively pursue food and other attractants in and around homes, ranches, and other occupied areas instead of returning to natural food sources.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service authorized removal of the bear, and the bear was trapped and euthanized. Grizzly bears are protected under the Endangered Species Act, and the USFWS has final authority regarding management actions. Read more
