New Hawke® Optics Nature-trek 9-27×56 Spotting Scope

Hawke® Optics, the world leader in high-quality sporting optics with outstanding performance in the field and at amazing value to consumers, breaks new barriers in spotting scope size, performance and cost with the new Nature Trek 9-27×56 spotter. It is the perfect scope to pack on a long, back-country adventure where space and weight are an issue.

Spotting scopes are extremely useful for hunting. They allow you to study and assess game animals from a distance before it comes time to take the shot. Hunters are often faced with a choice, especially when it comes to hunting in the back country, between hauling in a bigger, heavier scope so they get the clarity they need, or spending a huge amount of money to get a compact, lightweight spotter. Clarity is critical for spotting scopes. Without it, eye strain can affect your ability to see the fine details of your target. That’s where the new Nature Trek 9-27×56 spotting scope comes in.

To handle the clarity aspect of the scope, Hawke uses fully multi-coated optics with a BAK-4 Porro Prism to give you better contrast and color transmission. This helps to cut down on your eye strain, since you can see the image clearly. The field of view is 234-108ft at 1000 yards. There is a dual-focus knob to let you truly fine tune the image you see. This spotter has close focus letting you see detail as close as 8.2 feet away. It is digi-scope compatible so you can use it as a zoom lens for your camera.

The Nature Trek 9-27×56 spotting scope is extremely durable. It’s nitrogen purged and is water and fog proof. There is a stay-on lens cover, slide out sun shade and a twist-up eye cup. Hawke is confident in this scope’s durability to the point that it comes with Hawke’s No-Fault Lifetime Warranty. The point that will truly endear this spotting scope to hunters and outdoor adventurers is how compact the Nature Trek is. The scope weighs in at a scant 20.3 ounces, or just over a pound and it is only 7.6 inches long. The compact size means it will slide into a backpack, waist pack, glove box or even your pocket. It comes with lens covers and has an MRSP of only $219, making it the most economical, compact and clear choice for hunters looking for the ultimate compact spotting scope for this fall. Read more

Administration Considering Additional Restrictions on Products from Xinjiang, China

The Trump administration announced yesterday that it would restrict the import of certain products from the Xinjiang region of China due to forced labor and human rights concerns.

Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Mark Morgan announced the issuance of Withhold Release Orders (WROs) to detain imports suspected of being made with forced labor from the following entities in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China:

  • Xinjiang Junggar Cotton and Linen Co. and its subsidiaries – Cotton
  • Hefei Bitland Information Technology Co. – Computer parts
  • Yili Zhuowan Garment Manufacturing Co. – Apparel products
  • Baoding LYSZD Trade and Business Co. – Apparel products
  • Lop County No. 4 Vocational Skills Education and Training Center – All products
  • Lop County Hair Product Industrial Park – Hair products

This action is the latest in the administration’s effort to combat forced labor and other human rights violations in the Xinjiang region, home to China’s Muslim Uyghur community. In July, the administration listed the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) as a specially designated national (SDN) under U.S. sanctions laws enforced by the Office of Foreign Asset Controls (OFAC) by the Treasury Department; this bars all transactions that benefit the XPCC or its subsidiaries and affiliates with a 50-percent-or-greater controlling share by XPCC. The Commerce Department has also placed companies connected to the Xinjiang region on its Entity List subject to technology export controls. Read more

Arizona: Mexican Wolf Pups Successfully Cross-fostered into Pack

PINETOP, Ariz. — On Aug. 24, Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) wolf biologists using remote trail cameras documented eight Mexican wolf pups, an endangered subspecies, in the Hoodoo Pack in the northeastern Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. In April, AZGFD and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cross-fostered four genetically valuable wolf pups into the Hoodoo Pack from a litter in captivity at the Sedgwick Zoo in Wichita, Kansas.

After cross-fostering was completed by AZGFD and USFWS, there were five wild Mexican wolf pups and four cross-fostered pups for a total litter of nine pups in this Hoodoo Pack litter. At least three of the pups observed are cross-fostered. Biologists are working to determine if a fourth pup may also be a cross-fostering success. Read more
