Michigan DNR reminds UP anglers to remove ice shanties from bodies of water

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is reminding anglers to remove ice shanties from Upper Peninsula bodies of water by midnight Wednesday, March 31.

The deadline for removing ice shanties from Michigan-Wisconsin boundary waters was March 15. All other bodies of water in the Upper Peninsula must have ice shanties removed by midnight Wednesday, March 31.

Shanty owners whose structures fall through the ice are subject to penalties of up to 30 days in jail, fines up to $500, or both. If a shanty is removed by a government agency, the court can require the owner to reimburse that agency for up to three times the cost of removal.

Daily use of ice shanties is permitted anywhere in Michigan if ice conditions permit and if the shanties are removed from the ice at the end of each day. Read more

Taylor’s & Company Introduces ACE Revolver

Winchester, VA – (March, 30 2021) Taylor’s & Company, the world’s leading marketers and importers of state-of-the-art historical firearms utilizing the latest innovative designs, is pleased to announce the addition of “The ACE” pistol to their product lineup for 2021.

Included in the Master Pistol Series, the ACE is a compact snub nose revolver based on the 1858 Remington model. A classic blued finish with a brass trigger guard compliments the short 3” barrel length making it a more comfortable pistol to carry. The ACE has an overall length of 8.38 inches and it weighs in at just 38 ounces. That’s incredibly light for a steel-frame revolver. The ACE is offered in Black Powder .44 and a conversion cylinder model to shoot smokeless .45LC ammunition. The ACE comes standard with a fixed front blade sight and a rear notch for quick target acquisition. This firearm is available with three grip options: checkered walnut, smooth walnut, and white PVC.

“The ACE’s ammo flexibility has transitioned into a huge demand for it already this year,” said Rob Girard, VP of Sales & Marketing, Taylor’s & Company. “Besides the standard .44-caliber black powder format, it accepts a 6-shot .45 LC conversion cylinder (sold separately). This is huge these days when certain calibers of ammo are impossible to find.” Read more

Best Of The West Introduces Signature Series Long Range Muzzleloader

CODY, Wyo. — The authority in ethical long-range hunting — The Best of the West (BOTW) — has now changed the muzzleloader market forever with its new Signature Series Long Range Muzzleloaders. Available in .45 and .50 caliber, the new Best of the West muzzleloaders are tested and proven to shoot between .5 and 1 MOA at an amazing 550 yards to ensure a true long-range advantage at well beyond this range.

The Best of the West long-range muzzleloader features a side-discharge brake that directs the bulk of smoke away from the line of sight while significantly reducing recoil. The dual side port brake and specifically designed crown, along with the included funnel, make pouring loose powder cleaner and more efficient.

The muzzleloaders use The Best of the West’s Express Priming System, which is a patent-pending design that can store and feed three primed inserts from a magazine, much like a centerfire rifle. The non-saboted bullets have an advertised ballistic coefficient of .453 and maintain over 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at 800 yards. The result is dramatically better accuracy at longer distances over traditional muzzleloaders. Read more

Wildgame Innovations ZeroTrace Heavy-Duty Gear Bag and Charge Combo

Grand Prairie, TX- Eliminating unwanted odors is safe, convenient, and effective using the ZeroTrace™ Heavy-Duty Gear Bag and Charge Combo with PureION™ technology. Keep your clothes and gear scent-free at camp, in the home or after the gym without the unhealthy effects of ozone.

Exclusive to Wildgame innovations®, ZeroTrace is the only system using PureION technology to eliminate odors at the molecular level. Ion molecules produced by the ZeroTrace carry either positive or negative charges and quickly bond with nearby atoms to stabilize. Once this bond occurs, particulate matter in the air (odor) is neutralized. This process repeats as millions of particles are cycled through the scent elimination unit, reducing the chances of being detected in the field. Unlike ozone, which is harmful if inhaled in large amounts and can damage clothing and gear, PureION technology eliminates unwanted smells without any of the negative side-effects. Read more
