Blocker Outdoors offers snake protection

MUSKEGON, MI – The U.S. Centers for Disease control estimates that 7,000 to 8,000 people are bitten by venomous snakes annually. (Note: snakes can be venomous, not poisonous – there’s a difference.) Few deaths are attributed to the venomous bites, however, but the aftermath can be miserable, even life changing.

Rattlesnake venom is largely composed of hemotoxins. So, beyond the initial unfathomably painful bite, and after the instant bleeding and swelling, you can experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and labored breathing. Left untreated, the strike can lead to organ failure, and in some instances, death.

Water and marsh-oriented cottonmouth snakes – colloquially referred to as water moccasins – also carry hemotoxic venom. And past the bodily effects listed for rattlesnake bites, both cottonmouth and rattlesnake bites can cause necrosis, which breaks down blood cells and can lead to temporary or permanent tissue and muscle damage.

The widely distributed copperhead snake also carries hemotoxins, but bites are generally not considered deadly. Yet, a strike is wickedly painful, and you can expect swelling, throbbing, and possible nausea. Read more

Fishing with Bears

Grizzlies, unlike most black bears, sometimes show little fear of humans. (USF&W)

It’s bear season across much of the nation, the time when bears that have been in hibernation come out of their dens and are extremely active and hungry, which means it’s more likely you’ll see one if you’re out fishing, rafting, overnighting or hiking in bear country.

And bear country is expanding these days thanks to careful management, with increasing black bear populations in many states with adequate habitat.

In general, if you leave black bears alone they will leave you alone, with the occasional rare exception.

The grizzly population in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming is also expanding, and this is a more concerning matter for those of us who enjoy the rivers of the west. Grizzlies often show little respect for humans, in part no doubt because they have not been hunted in 20 years in Montana, 40 years in Wyoming, and this can lead to problems for both man and bear.

Grizzlies are sometimes encountered in the thicker foliage that grows around trout streams of the three grizzly states, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. (USF&W) Read more

Henry Repeating Arms ‘Endlessly Proud’ to Support RMEF

MISSOULA, Mont. — The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation proudly accepted a $25,000 check from Henry Repeating Arms, a long-time partner and supporter.

“It is hard to quantify what a gift like this means,” said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO. “True, it allows us to put more money on the ground to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage, but it’s much more than that. It further cements our shared bond of wildlife and our hunting heritage as well as our respect for one of America’s stalwart firearms leaders.”

The partnership dates back two decades with Henry Repeating Arms having invested more than $205,000 toward RMEF’s mission.

In addition, the Henry Side Gate Lever Action .45-70 Gov’t is currently RMEF’s 2023 banquet rifle, meaning RMEF chapters feature the rifle at its big game banquets nationwide to generate even more funding for conservation. Read more
