Montana: Biologists Set To Begin Grizzly Bear Captures For Research Purposes In The Southern Madison Mountains

BOZEMAN – As part of ongoing efforts required under the Endangered Species Act to monitor the population of grizzly bears in the Yellowstone Ecosystem, the U.S. Geological Survey, in conjunction with Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, is informing the public that pre-baiting and scientific capture operations are once again beginning within the Gravelly and Madison Ranges of Montana. Biologists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) will begin work in southwest Montana beginning June 21st and will continue through July 30th. Capture operations can include a variety of activities, but all areas where work is being conducted will have primary access points marked with warning signs. It is critical that all members of the public heed these signs.

Monitoring of grizzly bear distribution and other activities are vital to ongoing recovery of grizzly bears in the Yellowstone Ecosystem. In order to attract bears, agency biologists use natural food sources such as fresh road-killed deer and elk. Potential capture sites are baited with these natural foods and if indications are that grizzly bears are in the area, culvert traps, or sometimes foot snares, will be used to capture the bears. Once captured, bears are handled in accordance with strict safety and animal care protocols developed by the IGBST and approved by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Whenever bear capture activities are being conducted for scientific purposes, the area around the site will be posted with bright warning signs to inform the public of the activities occurring. These signs are posted along the major access points to the capture site. It is important that the public heed these signs and do not venture into an area that has been posted. For more information regarding grizzly bear capture efforts call the IGBST trapping hotline at 406-994-6675. Information about the grizzly bear research and monitoring is available from the IGBST website: https://www.usgs.gov/science/interagency-grizzly-bear-study-team

Davidson’s Exclusive SCCY DVG with Cheetah Print Finish

PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Davidson’s, one of the nation’s leading firearms, optics, ammunition, and accessories distributors, has partnered once again with SCCY Industries to bring to market a new exclusive.

This exclusive Davidson’s SCCY DVG, chambered in 9mm, has a striking cheetah dip print finish on the entire frame.

Unlike the majority of SCCY’s line, the DVG is a striker-fired pistol. It comes equipped with a flat-faced trigger that has an average 5 ½ pound trigger pull, and offers the user a consistent, clean and crisp break on each shot.

The DVG series incorporates the Roebuck Quad-Lock system, invented and patented by SCCY owner Joe Roebuck. The Quad-Lock system is a technology that locks the barrel to the slide in four distinct areas (rear of the chamber, front of the chamber and two adjacent points at the front of the barrel). The Quad-Locking of the barrel and slide joins the two components into one solid piece to improve accuracy by ensuring that the barrel returns to the exact same location every time. While locked in battery the pistol will not allow any side to side movement of the barrel, allowing for repeatable accuracy shot after shot. Read more

New Poll: Lowest-Ever Support for Semi-Auto Ban

Amid the renewed clamor by anti-gunners for a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” the Second Amendment Foundation today pointed to a new Quinnipiac University poll showing public support for such a ban to be at an all-time low.

Support for a ban has fallen to 50 percent, while 45 percent oppose it, and according to the survey, “This is the lowest level of support among registered voters for a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons since February 2013 when the question was first asked by the Quinnipiac University Poll.” Four years ago, 67 percent supported a ban and 29 percent opposed the idea.

SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb said this is clear evidence the public is waking up to the reality that gun bans are not the answer to violent crime.

“Semiautomatic rifles have been around for more than a century,” Gottlieb noted, “and the popular AR-type rifles have been owned by private citizens for at least 60 years. Their use in crime is statistically minimal, so to blame their availability and demonize their technology is a false flag that borders on fraud.

“Increasing numbers of people realize there is far more to this dilemma than firearms,” he added. “For example, the same Quinnipiac poll shows a 40 percent plurality of voters think the real problem is rooted in mental health issues, more than twice the 19 percent who think the availability of firearms is at the core of the current crime spike.
