Whitetails Unlimited Encourages You To Donate Your Harvest

With recent inflation spikes, the need for food assistance has grown even greater. Food pantries rely heavily on donated items to stock their shelves. In many cases, food pantries also accept donations in the form of processed game. In areas where herd populations are high and harvest tags are available, it’s a tremendous help for both conservation and the community for hunters to donate harvested game.

There many organizations such as Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry and Hoosiers Feeding Hungry that raise funds to offset the processing costs associated with donated game. These organizations also work with food pantries in their respective areas to see that they are stocked with donated game. Many state fish and game agencies also have their own programs to distribute donated game.

If you are interested in donating your harvested game this year, please contact your state fish and game agency to find a donation site near you. Read more

POF-USA Launches Rifle Offerings Chambered in 6mm Creedmoor

Phoenix, AZ – Patriot Ordnance Factory Inc., a leading provider and manufacturer of the finest AR-type rifles on the United States commercial market, is pleased to announce the addition of the 6mm Creedmoor chamber offering in both the Prescott and Revolution models. For years, the 6mm Creedmoor has proven itself as a viable option for long-range shooting enthusiasts, practical shooting competitors, and hunters alike because of its flat trajectory, high velocity, and mild recoil attributes. The 6mm Creedmoor, paired with the 22” barrels with 1:8 rifling, only adds to the versatility of both the POF-USA Revolution and Prescott rifle platforms.

“The 6mm Creedmoor was designed for use in not only bolt action rifles but also semi-auto platforms, so adding this impressive chamber offering to both the Revolution and Prescott lines only made sense” stated Jeremy Selting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, POF-USA. “If a customer is looking for a long-range and light-weight hunting rifle then look no further than the 6mm Creedmoor Prescott. When a customer is looking for a highly accurate rifle with low felt recoil then the 6mm Revolution could be a better fit. Either way, POF-USA has a 6mm Creedmoor solution that will excel at the task” continued Selting.

The 6mm Creedmoor Revolution will be available in a bronze or black anodized finish, includes POF’s 3-port break, a 14.5” MMR handguard, has an overall weight of 8.4 lbs., and an MSRP of $2,903 (Black) / $3,037 (Bronze). Both the Revolution and Prescott in 6mm Creedmoor come standard with POF-USA’s single stage match trigger, include a MFT pistol grip, and have 22” barrels with 1:8 rifling. The Prescott in 6mm Creedmoor is available in patriot brown or black anodized finish, includes POF’s Micro-B muzzle device, a 14.5” MMR handguard, has an overall weight of 7 lbs., and an MSRP of $2,365 (Black) / $2,500 (Patriot Brown).

It’s Manatee Awareness month: Florida FWC reminds boaters to go slow, look out below

November is Manatee Awareness Month, an important time for boaters to go slow and lookout below to watch for manatees as they travel to warmer water sites around the state.

Manatees depend on water generally warmer than 68 degrees Fahrenheit to survive the winter, so in the fall they travel to Florida springs, power plant discharges and other warm-water sites.

While manatees are large, they can be difficult to see in the water. That is why it is important to: follow guidelines and follow all manatee protection zones; look out while boating; wear polarized glasses and always give them space. Manatee protection zones are marked by waterway signs and maps of manatee protection zones are available online at MyFWC.com/Manatee by clicking on “Data and Maps.” Read more

SAF Warns Calif. City Against Zoning to Prevent Gun, Ammo Retail Sales

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation has cautioned the mayor of Redwood City, Calif., against continuing a moratorium on allowing firearms retail sales within its jurisdiction, which could result in litigation against the city on Second Amendment grounds.

The city has adopted an “Urgency Ordinance” which placed a moratorium on firearms dealers from opening businesses within the city. Extensions on the moratorium, if voted for, may last for up to two years.

In a letter to Redwood City Mayor Giselle Hale, SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut notes, “By indefinitely preventing any firearms or ammunition retailers from opening within the city, Redwood City has directly impeded its residents from acquiring the means to protect themselves and their families, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment.” Read more

20-Year Agreement Paves Way for National Wild Turkey Federation to help Reduce Wildfire Risk, Promote Healthy Forests and Wildlife Habitat

EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service and the National Wild Turkey Federation recently signed a landmark 20-year national master stewardship agreement.

This first-of-its-kind agreement paves the way for these partner organizations to work together to address the wildfire crisis in the West and promote healthy forests across the U.S. It also includes an initial $50 million commitment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as well as regular agency appropriations and other sources.

“This agreement reflects our strong, long-standing relationship with the National Wild Turkey Federation and its four decades of forest restoration work on national forests and grasslands,” USDA Forest Service Chief Randy Moore said. “Larger wildfires, more frequent natural disasters, and other disturbances that continue to threaten the health of the nation’s forests and grasslands, and the wildlife habitat they provide, means the work we do together is even more vital.” Read more

Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro in Desert FDE

GENESEO, ILL. – Combining class-leading concealability with the performance of a larger handgun to provide an exceptional everyday carry pistol, Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of the Hellcat® Pro 9mm pistol in Desert Flat Dark Earth (FDE).

Designed to deliver the perfect balance, the Desert FDE Hellcat Pro is a compact pistol chambered in 9mm that offers 15+1 capacity in a smaller footprint than any other gun in its class. The 9mm pistol packs in impressive capacity while still maintaining the ergonomic, slim profile of the original Hellcat for seamless concealability.

At just 1″ wide, the slim-line grip feels superb in the hand, increasing contact and control, while the additional mass in the longer slide and barrel translates into reduced muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots. The lightweight polymer frame features our Adaptive Grip Texture™, a seamless, pressure-activated texture featuring a pattern of staggered pyramid shapes. The taller pyramids have a flattened top to ensure comfort against the body, while the shorter pyramids come to a point and are engaged when the pistol is firmly gripped. Read more

Holosun’s New P.ID Pistol Light

City of Industry, CA – Pistol-mounted lights are among the best accessories to add to your handgun. They allow an individual the opportunity to gain the upper hand in illuminating their potential target. Still, they also offer temporary visual incapacitation of a dangerous individual, potentially de-escalating a situation. Some police have used pistol-mounted optics for that very reason.

Holosun continues to fill the need for defensive pistols and has introduced the P.ID pistol mounted light. The P.ID is a 1000 lumen flashlight with 28,000 candelas, exceeding the output of many other pistol flashlights. A user can choose between a 300 lumen and 1000 lumen intensity with the oversized, ambidextrous, and tactile paddle activation switches on either side of the unit. The activation buttons sit comfortably in the resting position of an individual practicing safe trigger discipline and/or a thumbs-forward grip. Read more
