Whitetails Unlimited Offers Free Sight-In Targets

Rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader deer seasons are fast approaching, but whatever firearm is used it is very important for the hunter to be confident with their abilities to hit a target accurately – every time. To help ensure that you and your firearm are shooting accurately, Whitetails Unlimited will ship ten 100-yard sight-in targets at no cost. The targets measure approximately 14 x 16 inches and have 1-inch grids with a 6-inch center highlight ring.

Whitetails Unlimited celebrates the American tradition of hunting deer, the most popular big-game animal in North America. WTU expects hunters to go afield on ethical, fair-chase hunts; part of that hunting ethic is to only take shots when the hunter is sure of the target, knows what is beyond the target, and is following all applicable hunting laws and regulations. For more information about hunting safely and legally, contact your state’s department of natural resources.

To receive your targets, contact the Whitetails Unlimited National Headquarters at 1-800-274-5471 or via email at nh@whitetailsunlimimted.com. Read more

SAF Defends Motion for Injunctive Relief in California Renna Case

BELLEVUE, WA—Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and their partners in a federal lawsuit challenging California’s ban on personally-built firearms are now defending their motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the state.

Joining SAF and CCRKBA in their original legal action, known as Renna v. Bonta, are the North County Shooting Center, Inc., Gunfighter Tactical, LLC, San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, Firearms Policy Coalition, and several private citizens Danielle Jaymes, Laura Schwartz, Michael Schwartz, Robert Macomber, Clint Freeman, John Matthew Klier, Justin Smith, John Phillips, Cheryl Prince, Darin Prince, Ryan Peterson, Leonard Ruebe, PWGG, L.P., and Lana Rae Renna, for whom the lawsuit is named. They are represented by attorneys Raymond M. DiGuiseppe of Southport, N.C. and Michael P. Sousa of San Diego.

The case is in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

“California only wants to argue about the plain text and not the history of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “On that level, we will win as well, because you cannot keep and bear arms if you can’t make, buy and/or sell arms. It is really that simple.”

According to the new motion, the state has attempted to develop a litigation strategy that purportedly shifts the burden onto the plaintiffs, while the state essentially does nothing absent an order from this Court directing them to undertake the historical analysis required under Bruen. Read more

Monarch Conservation Effort Report highlights Iowans’ hard work

AMES, Iowa — Iowa has been steadily adding new habitat for monarch butterflies over the past couple of years. The Iowa Monarch Conservation Consortium recently released its Monarch Conservation Effort Report, which offers a snapshot of monarch habitat establishment through 2020 in all 99 counties across the state.

“This report demonstrates the significant impact so far from the combined efforts of the consortium’s broad membership and partners to engage Iowans about monarch butterflies and their importance to Iowa. Its release also underscores the need for continued education, habitat creation and conservation efforts by all stakeholders,” said Daniel J. Robison, holder of the endowed dean’s chair in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State University.

The report summarizes the program goals, methodology and habitat acres established through 2020. The data show that over the past six years, more than 430,000 acres of monarch butterfly habitat has been established in the state. The habitat acres already established are over halfway to the consortium strategy’s low-end goal of 790,000 by 2038. Read more

RMEF Completes First Land Conservation & Access Project in Kentucky

MISSOULA, Mont. — Strengthening a relationship with a state that dates back nearly three decades, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation successfully collaborated with Kentucky River Properties to conserve and open access to a rugged slice of Kentucky elk country.

RMEF acquired five parcels, all earlier private inholdings covering nine acres, in a rugged area known as Steel Trap and donated them to the Daniel Boone National Forest (DBNF).

“This seemingly small transaction has big hunting and access ramifications,” said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO. “Much of Kentucky’s elk zone covers private land where access can be challenging. This project helps alleviate that and may serve as a springboard to future, larger land conservation and public access possibilities.”

Steel Trap’s features include a closed canopy forest with flat to moderately steep terrain about 19 miles northeast of Pineville. It borders Phillips Fork, which feeds the Red Bird River. Two of the parcels are bisected by an unimproved road that secures permanent access to interior portions of the DBNF, heavily used by elk. Read more

Meopta MeoSport R 3-15×50 RD Named ‘Best Traditional Hunting Scope’

TAMPA, FL – Meopta Sport Optics is pleased to announce its new MeoSport R 3-15×50 RD riflescope has been named ‘Best Traditional Hunting Scope’ by Field & Stream. The team assembled 18 of the newest model riflescopes for their Best Riflescopes of 2022 review and put them through a series of tests to determine how well they performed and if they are worth the money.

The 30mm MeoSport features European-quality optics with an illuminated 4C reticle in the second focal plane and retails for $449.99.

Richard Mann, Field & Stream’s Shooting Editor, said: “This Czech-made riflescope was the biggest surprise of the test. At under $500, we expected mid-range performance, but the MeoSport over-delivered. The magnification range is about ideal for big-game hunting…”

“The scope also has a side-parallax adjustment that is integral to the reticle brightness knob, which has 11 settings with an off position between each setting. The parallax adjustment works from 10 yards to infinity, which also makes this a great rimfire or air-gun riflescope. Most impressive, this riflescope delivered the best resolution – in low and bright light – of any of the traditional hunting scopes we tested. And it comes with rings too.” Read more
