Fears Inducted into Georgia Hunting & Fishing HoF

Rome, GA — Legendary outdoor writer J. Wayne Fears has been inducted into the Georgia Hunting & Fishing Hall of Fame. The hall of fame is sponsored by the Georgia Outdoor Writers Association and is housed at the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center which combines a state wildlife management area, public fishing area and regional wildlife education and conference center on 6,400 acres southeast of Atlanta.

While Fears is known for writing about adventures worldwide, he spent his first 10 years out of college working as a wildlife professional and freelance writer in the state of Georgia. He received his Master’s Degree from the University of Georgia, was a founding member of the Georgia Outdoor Writers Association in 1969 and served as its president the following year.

Hall of famer and national fishing writer Jimmy Jacobs made the induction presentation for Fears induction, held at a banquet in Rome, Georgia. In the induction Jacobs stated, “There are three categories in which a nominee must excel in at least one to be considered for induction, Fears more than qualified in all three.”

Past Georgia Hunting & Fishing Hall of Fame honorees include President Jimmy Carter and renowned Outdoor Life magazine field editor Charlie Elliott, who was a mentor to Fears when he started his outdoor writing career. Read more

Zanders Introduces Exclusive DRD Tactical Sub-6 Rifles

SPARTA, IL – Zanders Sporting Goods, a national distributor located in Sparta, Illinois, is proud to announce its exclusive DRD Tactical Sub-6 Rifles.

The AR15 meets the AK47 with this super lightweight mashup. Coming in at just under six pounds, it has steel in all the right places to offer solid, rugged construction in an impressively light design. Built from the ground up, every feature was redesigned with superior performance in mind. The lower receiver features an integrated 1913 picatinny rail on the butt plate, with a side-folding Magpul® buttstock securely mounted to the rear rail. Fire with the stock folded if you please. The new bolt with dovetailed gas key incorporates rail slots to eliminate BCG tilt and reduces friction for unbelievably smooth, efficient cycling that runs cleaner than standard AR systems. The barrel extension provides better lockup utilizing a trunnion system composed of steel on steel vs. steel on aluminum, which increases strength while reducing wear.

Top Con Law Journal to Publish Paper on the Right to Train with Firearms

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal to publish “The Right to Train: A Pillar of the Second Amendment,” spotlighting the rich history, rational thought, and longstanding laws that champion training with arms as key to the survival of America’s Republic

LAS VEGAS – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) today announced that William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal (BORJ) will publish a scholarly paper authored by the foundation’s director of constitutional studies, Joseph Greenlee. Through a first of its kind in-depth exploration, “The Right to Train: A Pillar of the Second Amendment” presents compelling evidence in support of the right to train with the very weapons protected by the U.S. Constitution, and provides courts with examples of history and legal precedent to establish it as a “core” human right. The article, expected to be published in BORJ’s forthcoming Vol. 31, 2022 issue this fall, can be viewed here on SSRN.

“The Right to Train” examines every aspect of the right’s application, including for self-defense, community defense, militia rights, and the prevention of tyranny. As Greenlee’s research compels, history clearly illustrates that the activity of training was cherished by the Founders as an essential element of the enumerated right to keep and bear arms.

The paper’s findings address a timely need for substantive exploration of this critical right. “Since the Supreme Court confirmed that the Second Amendment protects ‘the individual right to possess and carry weapons’ in District of Columbia v. Heller,” the paper’s introduction reads, “…lower courts have been grappling with whether there is also a right to train with those weapons…Given the historical foundation of the right to train, courts should ensure that it is robustly protected by the Second Amendment, as the Founders intended.” Read more

Michigan: UP Motorists Cautioned to Be on Lookout for Moose

Moose: A moose stands in a wetland area alongside U.S. Highway 41 in Marquette County.

Motorists traveling in the Upper Peninsula are being urged to keep an eye out for moose and to exercise extra caution when driving after dark.

Over the past week, five bull moose have been struck and killed by vehicles along portions of M-95 and U.S Highways 141 and 41 West in Marquette and Baraga counties.

“All of the moose killed were struck after darkness fell, when moose, especially the darker colored bulls, are more difficult for motorists to see,” said John Pepin, Michigan Department of Natural Resources deputy public information officer. “Each of these accidents occurred in areas marked with ‘moose crossing’ signs.”

Specifically, three crashes occurred on June 10, two in Baraga County and one in Marquette County. The incidents in Baraga County were located a mile west of Nestoria on U.S. Highway 41 and 1.5 miles south of Covington on U.S. Highway 141. The mishap in Marquette County happened on M-95, a half-mile south of its intersection with U.S. Highway 41. Read more

MOJO Outdoors Flock A Flicker 2 To Be Released Late Summer

MOJO® Outdoors, the world leader in motion decoys, is excited to release the redesigned Flock A Flicker™ 2 this season.

The patented (Pat. No. 10,517,291) Flock A Flicker™ proved to be one of the most popular waterfowl hunting products to come along since the spinning wing decoy. WHY? Because they worked when used in multiple units, as they mimic the random, quick “flashes” or “strobe” given off by a flock of contented ducks sitting on the water or dry ground, telling other ducks: It’s OK to land here. If you observe a flock of contented ducks, you will see these random “flashes” that rotate or flicker throughout.

MOJO® has improved on this ground-breaking concept with the re-designed Flock A Flicker™ 2 (4-Pack), which includes an upgraded housing with all other components the same as the original, which emits the same flash. With any spinning wing product, faster is better, and these blades (or wings) turn super fast. Packaged in a set of 4, add multiple sets to your spread for an ultra realistic look.

Montana: Biologists Set To Begin Grizzly Bear Captures For Research Purposes In The Southern Madison Mountains

BOZEMAN – As part of ongoing efforts required under the Endangered Species Act to monitor the population of grizzly bears in the Yellowstone Ecosystem, the U.S. Geological Survey, in conjunction with Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, is informing the public that pre-baiting and scientific capture operations are once again beginning within the Gravelly and Madison Ranges of Montana. Biologists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) will begin work in southwest Montana beginning June 21st and will continue through July 30th. Capture operations can include a variety of activities, but all areas where work is being conducted will have primary access points marked with warning signs. It is critical that all members of the public heed these signs.

Monitoring of grizzly bear distribution and other activities are vital to ongoing recovery of grizzly bears in the Yellowstone Ecosystem. In order to attract bears, agency biologists use natural food sources such as fresh road-killed deer and elk. Potential capture sites are baited with these natural foods and if indications are that grizzly bears are in the area, culvert traps, or sometimes foot snares, will be used to capture the bears. Once captured, bears are handled in accordance with strict safety and animal care protocols developed by the IGBST and approved by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Whenever bear capture activities are being conducted for scientific purposes, the area around the site will be posted with bright warning signs to inform the public of the activities occurring. These signs are posted along the major access points to the capture site. It is important that the public heed these signs and do not venture into an area that has been posted. For more information regarding grizzly bear capture efforts call the IGBST trapping hotline at 406-994-6675. Information about the grizzly bear research and monitoring is available from the IGBST website: https://www.usgs.gov/science/interagency-grizzly-bear-study-team
