Hunter Nation Issues Statement on Wisconsin Wolf Hunt Court Decision

Hunter Nation released the following statement on a Dane County judge’s decision today to deny the organization’s request to join a lawsuit to protect the constitutional rights of Wisconsinites to hunt the gray wolf:

“Clearly, this was the plan of the Evers administration and Attorney General Kaul from the minute wolves were no longer under federal protection – follow the marching orders of the radical anti-hunting groups and trample the rights of Wisconsin hunters, farmers, pet owners, and families,” Hunter Nation President and CEO Luke Hilgemann said. “Hunter Nation will not sit by while the opponents of common sense predator management try to violate the constitutional rights of hunters in this state, and we are reviewing our options for how to best continue the fight.”

Henry Donates 65 Rifles for 11-Year-Old Girl Battling Congenital Heart Defects

RICE LAKE, WI – Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers, is donating a series of 65 custom rifles to raise funds for the family of 11-year-old Sami Bernadzikowski of Elkridge, Maryland, who is battling multiple congenital heart defects (CHD). All proceeds from the fundraising campaign, which are expected to surpass $45,000, will be presented to the Bernadzikowski family.

Since she was born, Sami has undergone five open-heart surgeries with at least one more to come later and over thirty cardiac catheterization procedures. On top of a rare condition called heterotaxy syndrome, where organs are formed abnormally, in the wrong place, or missing altogether, Sami is diagnosed with several CHDs, including single ventricle, pulmonary atresia, pulmonary vein stenosis, transposition of the great vessels, and atrial septal defect. In addition, the 6th grader’s treatments require a visit to Boston several times throughout the year, adding to the overall cost of her medical expenses.

“She has been poked, prodded, and cut by doctors her whole life,” says James McVay, a family friend that brought Sami’s case to the attention of Henry Repeating Arms. “Her normal life is what anyone else would call torture, and she takes it in stride with the rarest complaint.”

“I have yet to see a photo of Sami where she didn’t have a huge smile on her face, which is incredible once you learn what she’s going through,” says Anthony Imperato, CEO, and Founder of Henry Repeating Arms. He continues, “I would like to give a big hug to Sami and her family, and I look forward to seeing how fast these rifles sell out thanks to the generosity of the Henry family.” Read more

Hornady Security’s RAPiD RFID-Enabled Safes

Grand Island, NE – Stop fumbling with keys; there is better, faster safe access technology. It’s called RFID, and it provides instant access to the safe’s contents with tags uniquely programmed for each safe. Every Hornady Security RAPiD® Safe includes this reliable high-tech system.

An RFID tag acts as the ‘key’ unlocking the safe. When the tag and the safe are close enough to communicate, it reads the unique access code electronically. There’s no need to find a key, register a fingerprint, or remember a combination using touchless RFID technology. Plus, the RFID-enabled device can be programmed to read up to five different tags, opening a world of customization options.

Hornady Security RFID tags include watchbands (located in the buckle), key fobs, and decals; none require batteries to operate. The decals adhere to plastic, glass, metal, wood — nearly any surface such as the back of a phone. RFID is a secure and reliable way to access a safe in a hurry; however, if the tag is not close at hand, RAPiD safes include a keypad as a secondary opening method. Each RAPiD safe also comes with two barrel keys for the ultimate lock-out prevention. Read more

Michigan DNR Confirms Recent Cougar Photo From Dickinson County

Wildlife biologists with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources have confirmed a trail camera image showing a mountain lion walking through a semi-open area of firs and poplars was taken in September in Dickinson County.

“On Sept. 16, 2021, a trail camera photo was taken of a cougar in southern Dickinson County,” said Cody Norton, the DNR’s large carnivore specialist. “This is about 50 miles from where a July 20 video was captured in Baraga County.”

The photo recently gained news media attention after it was posted on social media.

The DNR’s team of biologists that investigates cougar reports had seen the photo but initially could not confirm the source or location where it was taken. The team was able to investigate the report after the owner of the photo saw a newspaper story about it and contacted the DNR.

This latest confirmation brings the total number of confirmed cougar reports to 74 in Michigan since 2008. This figure does not necessarily translate to the same number of cougars because a single animal may be included in more than one confirmed report. Read more

MI Senate Passes Knife Rights Act

Lansing, MI: Our Michigan Knife Rights Act, HB 4066, was passed by the Senate with a bipartisan vote of 25-11. This is Knife Rights’ signature Knife Law Preemption bill which passed the House earlier this year. However, because the Senate made a minor change in the bill, it now goes back to the House for a concurrence vote.

Knife Law Preemption is a Knife Rights’ criminal justice reform effort that nullifies existing ordinances and prevents new local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere within a state.

Knife Rights drafted the model legislation and passed the nation’s first Knife Law Preemption bill in Arizona in 2010 and has since passed preemption bills in Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Knife Rights is America’s grassroots knife owners’ organization; leading the fight to Rewrite Knife Law in America™ and forging a Sharper Future for all Americans™. Knife Rights efforts have resulted in 34 bills enacted repealing knife bans in 23 states and over 150 cities and towns since 2010.

Boone and Crockett Club Welcomes Introduction of Bipartisan Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act

MISSOULA, Mont. (October 20, 2021) – The Boone and Crockett Club thanks Representatives Ron Kind (D-WI-3) and GT Thompson (R-PA-15) for yesterday’s introduction of legislation to authorize federal funding to address chronic wasting disease (CWD) more holistically. H.R. 5608 authorizes $35 million each to research and management efforts and requires 75% of the management funding be directed to state and tribal wildlife agencies. If enacted, the bill will lay the groundwork to provide additional resources to states and tribes to proactively address CWD outbreaks and to manage this always-fatal disease of deer, elk, and moose.

“Chronic wasting disease is a significant threat to many of our country’s native big game species, a challenge that affects both future hunting opportunity and the health of these ecologically important wildlife species,” commented James F. Arnold, president of the Boone and Crockett Club. “We appreciate the continued leadership of Congressmen Kind and Thompson for their efforts to find solutions to this growing challenge. The legislation that they introduced today will provide critical new funding to state wildlife agencies that are on the front lines battling CWD.” Read more

New Optics Ready Stealth Sights for Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP

DEARBORN, MI. (October 21, 2021) – Night Fision, a leader in advanced tritium insertion solutions, is pleased to announce that Optics Ready Stealth Sights are now available for the Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP.

Night Fision’s Optics Ready Stealth (ORS) sights are engineered to offer a lower 1/3 co-witness. As an alternative to repurposing Suppressor Height sights, ORS sights are designed from the dovetail up to work as back up sights for optics, obscuring less of the optic window. Beyond their purpose-driven height, ORS sights offer the consumer several variations to select from: Yellow, Orange, and Black ring front sights can be combined with Blank, or Black ring rear sights, giving a greater number of possible combinations for the Hellcat OSP owner to choose from. Regardless of the combination, all variants feature narrow front blades that obscure less threat, and serrated faces to minimize glare from sun or handheld lights if employed due to optic failure.

“We’re incredibly proud of the Optics Ready Stealth line of sights,” said Rachel Maloney, Marketing Director for Night Fision, “Knowing the Hellcat OSP is the carry choice for many, we look forward to enabling Hellcat OSP owners to tailor their carry gun with our precision tritium products.” Read more

EOTECH’s Compact XPS2 Holographic Weapon Sight

Ann Arbor, MI – EOTECH’s Holographic Weapon Sight comes in all shapes and sizes. One of the top-selling models is the XPS2, an operator-grade Holographic Weapon Sight built for close-quarter engagements and fast-moving targets. Like all EOTECH® products, the XPS2 is rugged, reliable, and dependable.

At only 3.8-inches long and a mere 9-ounces, shooters love EOTECH’s shortest and lightest HWS sight. The HWS XPS2 is mission-capable and includes a single CR123 lithium battery configuration and compact footprint that leaves ample rail space for rear iron sights or magnifiers.

Choose from one of EOTECH’s many reticles for the XPS2. The most popular reticle is a 68 MOA ring surrounding a 1 MOA center dot, allowing the shooter to quickly pick up and lock on a target. A two-dot reticle adds a second aiming dot that provides an additional aiming point for longer shots. Others include a single 1-MOA dot (no ring) and two reticles for either FN or Sage less lethal launchers. In all EOTECH HWS systems, the reticle is focused at the same plane as the target which aides in rapid target acquisition while reducing eye fatigue. Read more
