Boone and Crockett Club Touts New Funding for Big Game Migration in Make America Beautiful Again Announcement

The Boone and Crockett Club cheered the infusion of new funds available for big game migration habitat conservation and restoration announced today as part of the Make America Beautiful Again Commission. To support this core sportsmen’s priority, almost $8 million has been added to the $2 million in base funds available this year through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) for their Western Big Game Seasonal Habitat and Migration Corridors Fund. Private and tribal funding is also included in the total.

Projects funded by the program improve habitat in priority areas identified by state wildlife agencies to address the needs of big game species as they travel to and stopover in their summer and winter range habitats.

“The migration corridors program began in 2018 as a proof-of-concept for a few species of big game. Having continued ever since, it has now proved the concept,” said Simon Roosevelt, Executive Vice President of Conservation at the Boone and Crockett Club. “The Trump administration, Secretary Burgum and Director Nesvik in particular, has recognized this and we look forward to further expansion of this invaluable effort. More species, and more areas – especially in summer ranges – need to benefit from this work.”

Big game such as elk, mule deer, and pronghorn are iconic species in the West, providing important hunting and recreational opportunities and contributing a vital source of protein for western ecosystems. Read more

Henry Repeating Arms Introduces Deadeye Revolvers with Sight Upgrades

Henry Repeating Arms has announced the addition of two new revolver variants, the H16 Golden Boy Deadeye Revolver and the H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver, created in direct response to feedback from Henry owners and enthusiasts.

The Deadeye revolvers retain the proven traditional double-action, premium materials, and craftsmanship from the base models, while adding a fully adjustable rear notch sight and a high-visibility fiber-optic front sight. This sighting system allows users to fine-tune their point of impact and acquire targets quickly across a wide range of lighting conditions.

The H16 Golden Boy Deadeye Revolver holds 10 rounds of .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle and features a deeply blued and polished steel frame, genuine American walnut grips, and a polished brass backstrap and trigger guard.

Both models are available with a choice of Gunfighter-style grips for enhanced control or Birdshead-style grips for a more compact feel.
