Leave a comment

Christopher J. Alexander, 28, of Wilmington, was sentenced today in Clinton County Common Pleas Court for unlawfully shooting a trophy white-tailed deer buck in November 2023, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

Alexander was sentenced to pay the maximum restitution for the 18-point trophy buck, $35,071.73. This was the largest restitution value for a single white-tailed deer in Ohio’s history. Restitution increased to $39,696.73 when $4,625 was added for a second unlawfully taken buck during the 2023 hunting season.

Alexander was also sentenced to complete five years of community control and serve six months at STAR Community Justice Center, a locked down community based correctional facility. He received a 10-year hunting license revocation and forfeited all property seized as evidence, including the trophy deer’s antlers. Finally, he was ordered to pay $1,000 in fines, $1,000 to the Turn In a Poacher (TIP) program, $2,000 in restitution to media outlets, and all court costs.

The Division of Wildlife conducted an investigation into Alexander’s taking of the trophy buck on Nov. 9, 2023, Read more

Boone and Crockett Club Announces Decision to Create New Big Game Records Category for Javelina

Leave a comment

The Boone and Crockett Club announced today that it will be creating a new category in its big game records for javelina (collared peccary, Pecari tajacu), the first new category created since 2001. The proposal to include a new big game category for javelina was brought forward to B&C’s Big Game Records committee by a working group made up of wildlife managers from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Mexico as well as other hunting conservation groups. Last week, the Committee voted unanimously on the proposal during the Club’s annual meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. That vote is the first step in the process, which will now require creating specific measuring protocols and establishment of minimum scores.

“The decision to add javelina as a trophy species was years in the making and reflects not only the growing appreciation for the species among hunters and wildlife managers, but can bring conservation benefits to javelina and the places it lives,” says Mike Opitz, chair of the Club’s Big Game Records Committee.

The Boone and Crockett Club has been measuring North American big game since 1895 with the original vision for the records program to create a record of what was thought to be the vanishing big game in the country. The big game record book, Records of North American Big Game, was first published in 1932 and serves as a vital record of biological, harvest, and location data on hunter-taken and found trophies based on the principle that the existence of mature, male specimens is an indicator of overall population and habitat health. While often misunderstood, this vision of a “trophy” is not to celebrate the success of a hunter but rather the success of conservation efforts and selective hunting that leads to the presence of larger, older animals on the landscape.

In the proposal’s introduction, the agencies wrote: “Collared peccary (Pecari tajacu), also known locally as javelina, are an important big game animal in the southwestern United States and Mexico. They are managed alongside other big game species, including requirements that hunters follow all regulations in pursuit of the animal across all jurisdictions. This is the first step in taking an animal under the “fair chase” ethic; a concept that originated with the Boone and Crockett Club. Read more

Hydra Weaponry H21 MARCK-15 GLOCK® Style 10mm Rifle Packs a Punch

Leave a comment

Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s largest firearms employer, designers, and manufacturers of the truly modular MARCK-15 Hydra® Weapon System, introduces the new Hydra MARCK-15 H21 rifle built to use GLOCK-style 10mm magazines. This will become every GLOCK 20 and GLOCK 29 pistol owner’s new rifle partner. With the rise of the popularity of the 10mm again, the Hydra H21 rifle makes a powerful deer hunting tool in most states with the 10mm round for its high-velocity and flat shooting capability.

The 10mm cartridge was designed in response to the cataclysmic 1986 FBI Miami shootout in which FBI agents using 9mm caliber pistols were seriously outperformed. The caliber was later decommissioned as it was found to be too recoil-heavy for trainees and the 10mm pistol grips were too large for smaller-handed agents. The .40 S&W was developed and replaced the 10mm, although it is still used by many law enforcement officers for its greater firepower and flat shooting. Handgun hunters have increasingly switched out to 10mm firearms, including the full-sized GLOCK 20 10mm pistol. This makes the Hydra H21 MARCK-15 modular rifle in 10mm a perfect pairing for those who already carry the GLOCK 20 or compact GLOCK 29, or those looking to utilize a 10mm AR deer hunting platform (check state and local laws for AR and caliber allowances for deer/and or any other hunting regulations).

The Hydra Weaponry team designed a Hydra modular lower receiver with a 10mm H21 magazine well. With the H21 mag well as the starting point, Hydra included the Hydra Quick Change Barrel Upper Receiver (QCB-D) along with a Hydra 16-inch 10mm blowback barrel, a 10mm blowback bolt, and a durable B5 Systems stock and pistol grip.
