DWR, Conservation Partners Relocate Bighorn Sheep to New Nursery Facility

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources recently partnered with Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife and the Utah Wild Sheep Foundation to create a new nursery facility for desert bighorn sheep in Utah in an effort to help grow the species’ population in the state.

Bighorn sheep were released onto an initial nursery facility in Duchesne County in 2022. In the spring of 2023, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife purchased a roughly 1,000-acre property in Boothe Valley near Promontory Point in Box Elder County and built a high fence around the property, with some additional funding from private donors. The property has ideal bighorn habitat and lower predator densities than the initial property, which led to the relocation of the nursery desert bighorn sheep herd. Read more

Artists sought for Porcupine Mountains Artist-in-Residence Program

Applications are now being accepted for the Porcupine Mountains Artist-in-Residence Program for 2024 spring, summer and fall and winter 2025 residencies.

The program is open to artists and artisans whose work can be influenced by the unique northern wilderness setting of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park – also known as “the Porkies.”

Located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the park encompasses 25 miles of wave-washed shores, four inland lakes, entire river systems, countless waterfalls, enchanted wooded peaks and an escarpment that rises slowly from the edge of Lake Superior until it plummets abruptly into the Carp River valley.

Still, the park’s most impressive feature – and the reason for its creation – is its virgin forest of eastern hemlock and northern hardwoods and the variety of flora and fauna that it supports. Because of these attributes, the park is an ideal location to inspire creativity. Read more

400 Legend Now Available in Mossberg Patriot Bolt-Action Rifle Series

North Haven, CT – Mossberg is now chambering its Patriot bolt-action rifle in 400 Legend. Delivering impressive down-range penetration, accuracy and extremely low recoil, the 400 Legend is ideal for deer in states where straight-walled cartridges are legal and for a variety of big game including hogs and close cover bears. A walnut-stocked version and black synthetic stock option, both with 20-inch threaded barrels, are now available.

Based on Mossberg’s proven twin-lug push-feed machined-steel action, these classically-styled Patriot rifles are fed from a flush polymer magazine with a capacity of 4 + 1. The free-floating, 20-inch carbon steel barrels are threaded (11/16”-24 threads per inch) for ease of adding a suppressor or muzzle brake; include a protective thread cap; and have a 11-degree match crown. For ease of mounting a scope, the Patriot comes with weaver-styles bases. And all Patriot rifles feature Mossberg’s patented LBA™ (Lightning Bolt Action™) user-adjustable trigger with a 2 to 7-pound range of adjustment. Rounding out these full-featured rifles are streamlined and checkered bolt handles; spiral-fluted bolts; and sling swivel studs.

Introduced by Winchester Ammunition earlier this year, the 400 Legend is a straight-walled cartridge described as having energy equivalent to the 450 Bushmaster but with 20% less recoil; 20% more energy than the 30-30 Win; 25% more energy than the 350 Legend with greater penetration; and 100% more energy than a 12-gauge slug at 100 yards with 55% less recoil. This versatile cartridge provides deep penetration, excellent accuracy, and efficient knockdown power for medium to big game animals at mid ranges of 200 to 250 yards. Read more

Bushnell Releases MOA Version of Match Pro ED 5-30X56 Riflescope

Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, has released an MOA version of its popular, award-winning Match Pro ED 5-30X56 riflescope.

In stock and shipping now, the Match Pro ED MOA 5-30X56 has the same original features and high-quality glass that competitive shooters have come to rely on, plus it gives a blue-ribbon option to those who prefer to work in MOA adjustments instead of MRAD.

“We heard the requests loud and clear and knew it was time to bring out an MOA version of the Match Pro ED riflescope,” said Travis Overfelt, Engineer and Product Manager for Competition and Tactical Optics at Bushnell. “In doing so, we modified the reticle and turrets to accommodate MOA. The Deploy MOA 2 reticle has a theme like the Deploy MIL 2 reticle, but the turrets are in ¼ MOA clicks and the elevation turret has an extra row of numerals to help shooters keep track of their dial into the second revolution up from zero.” Read more

The New Viridian C5L micro

Viridian Weapon Technologies continues to push boundaries with the launch of the all-new C5L micro™—a compact version of their pioneering C5L. Renowned for being the first-ever combination of a compact green laser sight and tactical light, the C5L paved the way for innovation in firearm accessories 15 years ago. Now, the C5L micro takes these innovations to the next level, offering more light output in an even more compact design, enhanced features, and unbeatable performance at a value price point.

Last year, Viridian reintroduced their benchmark line of all-new C Series firearms accessories. The family is comprised of the C5™, C5L™, CTL™, and CTL+™. Each offers unmatched performance, INSTANT-ON® technology, a rechargeable battery, and the innovative SAFECHARGE magnetic quick-release charging system. The C5L micro builds on the legendary line of OG lasers and lights, decreasing its size and weight to fit compact universal rail-equipped pistols.

“Expanding on the product that put Viridian on the map, we’re thrilled to announce that the all-new C5L micro is now shipping and it’s better than ever,” said Viridian President and CEO, Brian Hedeen. “We know human eyes see green better, and developing green lasers and lights that fit a wide range of firearms is our goal. The SAFECHARGE system is a game-changer; it adds ease-of-use and reliability critical to all shooting accessories.”

Despite its small size, the C5L micro packs in the power. With a <5mW Viridian Green Laser, 550 lumens, and 26,000 candela high-output tactical light with high, medium, low, and strobe modes, and a built-in Holster Retention Feature and INSTANT-ON activation when paired with Viridian’s custom Kydex holsters, users are provided an unparalleled carry experience.

The C5L micro is built of machined 6061 Aluminum with hard coat anodization and is backed by Viridian’s limited lifetime warranty. Read more
