Wapiti by Lorenzo Ghiglieri

Lorenzo Ghiglieri (1931–2020) is quite properly regarded as one of the most gifted artists of our time. His displays of wildlife sculptures and figure studies have dominated the major national hunting shows for two generations and his works are displayed at such prestigious locations as the White House, Vatican City and the John Wayne Airport. Working in bronze, Ghiglieri somehow was able to capture dynamic movement, raw power and intensity of the moment to a degree that transcended what the subject was doing to what it seemed to have been thinking. Lorenzo Ghiglieri was also a consistent supporter of wildlife conservation—a legacy which continues through select donations of his works. Click here for details… Read more

Halo Fishing Rods Unleashes HFX Series

OCEAN SPRINGS, MS – March 10, 2021. American Baitworks has set a new standard in performance and affordability with the all-new Halo HFX Series Fishing Rods. The HFX Series has an impressive 13 rod models – 4 Spinning and 9 Casting, to cover virtually every length and action any angler could ask for.

“Anglers demand a lot from their fishing rods – performance and value are always at the top of that list.” says Halo Fishing Rods President, Walt Roberts. “We are seeing a shift in fishing where anglers are expanding their rod arsenal as they adapt and learn new techniques. We developed the HFX series to cover multiple techniques from Finesse to Power fishing.”

Halo Fishing starts each rod with unbeatable blanks, constructed of the highest-quality Japanese graphite. When Halo designed the all-new HFX Series, we did exactly that – with Toray graphite blanks that deliver ultimate sensitivity, in casting and spinning models from 6’10” to 7’11” in medium light to extra heavy actions.

Mussel Problems Unleashed

Zebra Mussel inside “moss ball” USGS photo with permission.

Last week, was a first report from a state agencies warning that the tiny, but pervasive zebra mussel had been found alive and well inside a “moss ball” of aquarium plants. Today, it seems that first warning was only a harbinger of problems ahead. The trickle of reports became a flood.

Yesterday, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) reached out, wanting help to spread the word. As they pointed out, the zebra mussel has proven “impossible to eradicate once a colony is established, causing irreversible ecosystem damage, destroying habitat, and killing native species.”

That’s a lot of damage from a teeny little mollusk, but anyone who’s seen the damage caused to the Great Lakes and anything that’s floating on or attached to them that’s had a little visit from the zebra mussel understands it’s really not an overstatement.

Initially, the “moss ball” products that have included the mussels were thought to have been sold in Petco and PetSmart stores around the country. Now, it seems the problem was far more pervasive as the “moss balls” were also sold online as well- and shipped nationwide. If you bought a “Betta Buddy Marimo Ball” or “Mini Marimo Moss Ball” you may have unintentionally brought an invasive species into your aquarium. It seems that these have even been included with the purchase of betta fish. Both Petco and PetSmart have discontinued selling them, but everyone is being asked to be on the alert. Read more

Getting Started in Metal Detecting

The rewards of this outdoors activity are many, and the treasures yours to keep

By Rich Creason

More and more popular television shows are depicting the lure of treasure hunting. Untold wealth buried centuries ago hundreds of feet deep on an island, Civil War gold lost in the depths of Lake Michigan, sunken 16th century Spanish galleons off the Florida coast, strongboxes stolen off of stage coaches and buried, and lost mines in the far west are just a few of the dreams which fill the heads of many treasure hunters both old and young.

The unfortunate reality is that time and expense place some of these fantastical searches within reach of just a tiny percentage of the population. For those willing to scale back ambition and expectations to a more reachable level, however, similar experiences are certainly available to the average person. This is where an ordinary metal detector comes into play. With one of these machines and a few accessories, real treasure can be found by people of all ages.

To begin in this great hobby, the first item needed is a metal detector. Over the last five or six decades, many different models of detectors have shown up in the hands of treasure hunters. Many of these models and brands have come and gone. One brand has not only survived, but flourished, consistently bringing forth new and improved technologies that improve the detecting experience by increasing results and appealing to an ever-expanding group of treasure-hunting enthusiasts.
