SEVR 2.0 Adds More Penetration

Fans of the original big cutting SEVR™ Titanium 2.1 will want to take a close look at the 2.0 blade design added by SEVR last year. Reintroduced as the Ti 2.0, SEVR’s most popular head now has a more swept-back blade angle and re-engineered deployment arm geometry. The new deployment arms expose more of the blades’ leading edge for added cutting surface while reducing friction. The two enhancements result in up to 15% more penetration than the original 2.1. Archer’s will want to stock up while SEVR offers some of the best prices of the season during their Summer Sale Event going on now for a limited time. SEVR broadheads are sold exclusively at sevrbroadheads.com.

Easy Backyard Hummingbird Photos

Hummingbirds often return to a favorite perch, where they can be photographed as they rest in between foraging flights. With the sun behind you and your shadow pointing at the bird, the iridescent colors of the hummingbird’s plumage will literally glow.
Photographing hummingbirds in flight is not an exact science, but the possibilities of getting action photos are best when the tiny birds hover for a moment, which often happens as they approach a nectar feeder or a perch (Ruby-throated Hummingbird photos by Paul Konrad).
Stopping all the motion of a flying hummingbird is not always possible, but some wing motion can be pleasing in hummingbird photos. A dark background provides an interesting option, but lighter-colored backgrounds are usually preferred. Try your hand at hummingbird photography when you next encounter them – it’s easier than you may think.

Hummingbirds create a lot of interest among birders, and with hummingbird migration and nesting in progress, depending on where you are located this may be the best time of the year to see hummingbirds at your nectar feeder and flower garden. This year, consider investing a little more time hummingbirding by trying to take a few simple photos of these flying dynamos. Start simple when they are perched at your nectar feeder, then try some flight photos – we bet it will open up a new area of interest in backyard birding for you. Read more

Funding a System of Conservation – B&C Impact Series

Members of the Boone and Crockett Club were key players in laying the groundwork for both conservation of game species and generating the funds to pay for it—a system that we still use today. 

impact-funding-header3.jpg

There used to be quite a bit of money in duck meat and plumage from wading birds. At the turn of the twentieth century, an enterprising killer could turn a pile of feathers or breast meat into a bag of cash. In fact, giant shotguns—called punt guns—were mounted to boats so shooters could blast hundreds of birds at a time. The meat would supply restaurants with cheap table fare, while the feathers were used to adorn the hats of fashionable ladies. The supply of birds over North American’s skies seemed endless. It wasn’t.

Early members of the Boone and Crockett Club worked to put an end to the wholesale slaughter of birds by pushing legislation like the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918, which established federal control over the hunting of those birds. For bird populations, Club members had stopped the bleeding. Yet without a way to replace the birds that had been lost, it was unlikely populations would recover on their own. It would take more than laws. Restoration was going to take money.

Opening Day of Fishing Seasons Are A Rebirth

This weekend marks opening day of fishing season in many parts of the country. Today, Craig Springer shares some of the reasons why it’s such a special occasion for many anglers.

 

— Craig Springer, USFWS, Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration

April can be a cruel time of year in northern-tier states; it’s not quite spring, not quite winter. But it brings with it opening day of fishing seasons.  Welting sleet spit from gunmetal gray clouds or a sunlit bluebird sky—no matter the weather, anglers of all stripes are out on the water when trout, walleye or other sport fish species come into season, open for fishing after a winter-long hiatus.

Opening day of trout season is a cultural phenomenon, said Tim Schaeffer, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). “It’s deeply historic. Opening day has a long happy history,” said Schaeffer. “It’s almost carnival-like—it’s a rich tradition in Pennsylvania.”

Opening day is of course, one day out of the year.  From a fisheries management perspective, preparing for opening day is a yearlong process, according to Schaeffer. The PFBC operates 14 state fish hatcheries, eight of which raise trout—3.2 million brook, brown, and rainbow trout are stocked by the agency each year in Pennsylvania.

“Hatcheries run 24/7/365,” says Schaeffer. “It’s a constant cycle of work. Field biologists contribute to that cycle; their assessments determine where to stock and what habitat concerns need addressed. Conservation officers work with our biologists to I.D. stocking locations.”

Rod and gun clubs and sportsman’s groups in Pennsylvania also figure into the whole affair, contributing another 1 million trout from about 150 cooperative nurseries statewide before and after opening day.  “Anglers are deeply invested in conservation,” noted Schaeffer. Read more
