Millennium’s M360 Revolution Hang-On Stand

Pearl, MS – Millennium for years has brought innovation to hunting from a hang-on stand. Millennium brings innovation once again with the ability to swivel and see a full 360 degrees with the M360 Revolution Hang-On Stand.

Anyone that has used a conventional treestand understands the height advantage. Thick impenetrable woods look like a snarl at ground level but open into clear shooting lanes where wildlife is identifiable from above. At the same time, the hunter stays concealed at an elevation where game typically don’t look. Treestands truly provide a bird’s eye view of the setting.

The M360 Revolution is a swiveling seat built on a 40-inch circular platform, with the seat in the middle, so the hunter is set back from the tree. This provides the ability to swivel and keep track of everything around you. Of course, Millennium has built the stand to be rugged, stable, safe, and stealthy. The oversized platform provides plenty of room to stretch your legs and use your feet to check your hunting area slowly and silently in every direction. Read more

Hornady Security Introduces RAPiD Vehicle Safe

Grand Island, NE – The RAPiD® Vehicle Safe keeps a handgun or other valuables safe and secure inside any vehicle. The patent-pending mounting system of the RAPiD Vehicle Safe features an inflatable bladder that conforms to a vehicle interior’s shape. It makes the RAPiD Vehicle Safe’s installation quick and easy without any vehicle modifications.

In a perfect world, good people can carry their guns anywhere for personal protection. But it’s not a perfect world, and there are places where firearms can’t come along. Securing a weapon inside the vehicle becomes the only option. Sadly, a vehicle by itself is not secure – a breakable window is all that stands between thieves and the valuable contents!

Hornady Security, leaders in safe technology, solved this vehicle vulnerability with their innovative RAPiD® Vehicle Safe. The feature-rich safe is engineered for maximum security and peace of mind, while its discreet appearance blends seamlessly into the vehicle’s interior. The RAPiD® Vehicle Safe thwarts both opportunistic and targeted attacks, keeping unattended guns and valuables secure.

Preventing unauthorized access to any safe is a top priority. The Hornady Security Vehicle Safe exceeds ASTM International safety standards for child and pry resistance, lock strength, drop/pick/saw tests and high-attack resistance.

In an emergency, the Vehicle Safe’s RFID-activated spring-assist lid opens instantly using an RFID watchband, key fob or sticker, providing quick access to a firearm. The safe recognizes up to five programmed RFID tags, giving shared access to others or backup entry options. At the same time, its keypad further boosts the safe’s secondary access options with a four- to six-digit security code. A barrel key provides a failsafe way of entry in the event of a power loss.

African Safari Series – Buffalo Tail soup

By Ken Perrotte

The author with his Cape Buffalo

While discussing my late June South African hunt with outfitter Phillip Bronkhorst and professional hunter Pieter Taylor, I mentioned that I really wanted to sample any game we took, especially cape buffalo. And I’m not talking about just having grilled backstraps or tenderloins, I wanted to make “bufftail soup,” a cape buffalo version of a classic oxtail soup.

Cutting tail into sections

Oxtail soup is a tradition in many European countries and Great Britain, as well as Africa. Except for cultural pockets within the United States, it never seemed to gain a huge following here. Recipes abound for oxtail soup, some more of a broth-based with chunked vegetables and others with a smoother consistency. Read more

Dorsey & Sabbeth Defend Trophy Hunting

Dorsey Pictures announces a unique podcast as author Michael Sabbeth joins host Chris Dorsey for a lively discussion in defense of trophy hunting. The two discuss why the non-hunting public perceives ‘meat hunters’ as being superior to ‘trophy hunters’ and how we can combat the threats facing our outdoor sports and heritage.

Michael Sabbeth’s new book, “The Honorable Hunter” serves as a textbook for those looking to defend and promote hunting. During this new podcast, Sabbeth and Dorsey share their knowledge and insight gathered from years of research and first-hand experiences regarding how to honorably and persuasively win a debate with an anti-hunter. On a larger scale, the one-on-one debate personifies the cultural war facing the hunting community at large, and how the narrative and very definition of ‘trophy hunters’ needs to be written by those who live and breathe the hunting lifestyle rather than those who wish to destroy it.
