London gunmaker John Rigby & Co. is delighted to announce the latest addition to its esteemed art department, Zoltán Boros. Hailing from Subotica, Serbia, Zoltán is known for his passion for wildlife and his exceptional talent in capturing the beauty and essence of the natural world.

His artistic journey began during his secondary school years, where he developed an affinity for hunting and hunting-themed art. Over the years, his artistic talent blossomed, and he has become renowned for his captivating works predominantly centred around native European wildlife. His art is a testament to his deep connection to nature, his keen observations of wildlife behaviours, and his commitment to authenticity.

Zoltán has received numerous prestigious honours, including the Golden Brush-Pen Award and the Peter Balogh Grand Prize for Art. His fascination with the interplay of line and tone in graphic art has led him to create masterful works characterised by elegance, simplicity, and a profound understanding of anatomy.

To celebrate this exciting collaboration, Zoltán has created seven stunning limited edition prints, each priced at £75. Each piece comes with a 7cm white bottom border, a unique series number, the artist’s signature, and the Rigby logo embossed in relief.

The seven exquisite art pieces include:

The Firminator’s all-in-one design saves users time and money through the efficiency of disking, seeding, and compacting soil with a single food plot device. The Firminator’s Accurate Seeding System allows users to sow any size of seeds, ranging from large corn and sunflower seeds to the tiniest clover seeds, without changing seed hoppers or wasting seeds.

Many food plot prescriptions call for planting a mix or blend of seeds, with smaller seeds like clover making up a significant percentage. Doing so widens the window of attractiveness as other plant species reach their highest level of growth and nutrition at different times. It also protects against climatic fluctuations, like early or late frosts and varying amounts of rainfall, ensuring at least some plants will flourish.

Attempting to sow blends of seeds containing a wide range of sizes with a conventional seeder can lead to wasting seeds. Traditional machines must be configured for larger seeds, causing smaller ones to sift through and spill out– especially when stopping. Changing hoppers or making manual adjustments is necessary to sow different-sized seeds with traditional machines. This limitation confines planting to a monoculture crop or requires multiple passes with different equipment.

The Firminator’s Accurate Seeding System is ground-driven, dispensing seed relative to travel speed. This allows users to have precise control over the seeding rate. Then, when the unit stops, an automatic shut-off prevents wasteful spills. An optional seed hopper agitator keeps seeds thoroughly mixed, preventing smaller seeds, like clover, from sifting through too quickly. The seed hopper agitator evenly spreads blends with extreme size differences in a single pass.

As the Firminator moves forward, it drops seeds into a specially designed baffle that distributes directly in front of the cultipacker. The Firminator’s commercial-grade cultipacker rolls over the seeds and compacts the soil, enhancing seed-to-soil contact for better germination rates and protection from wind deflection.

New for 2023, Barnett® presents a full line of King Rat Slingshots sure to bring adventure to hunters of all ages. The King Rat series is rooted in David Barnett’s childhood and draws from over 60 years of hunting and adventures.

Barnett was founded in the early 1960s by David Barnett’s Father in the industrial market town of Willenhall, West Midland, England. As a boy, David Barnett often visited his father’s workplace after school, waiting to be taken home. For his seventh birthday in 1972, his father brought a tubular band slingshot from America. The new contraption was so different from everything he had seen from classmates and neighbors. 

Mesmerized by the slingshot, he could not wait to kill some vermin with the “Pocket Full of Power.” Armed with marbles, David Barnett set out amongst the overloaded trash bins in the backyards of the local buildings as he set his sights on the numerous Black rats that scavenged in the area. 

“One day, I was in luck and hit one so square, it slid up against the wall and started screeching loudly, bouncing up and down until it finally froze still. As I walked over to it with the excitement of the kill, it started screeching loudly again, and to my horror, the ugliest and biggest black rat I had ever imagined ran in and started tearing it apart, 10 feet from me. Looking at me with a bald, fire-burnt red face, it hissed, unflinching and unafraid,” recalled David Barnett.

To this day, half a century later, he still remembers that day so vividly. It wasn’t long after that that the family business started to make slingshots. So, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Barnett and to try to put this “demon” to rest, David Barnett has decided to relive the excitement of a young boy’s adventures with slingshots with the King Rat Slingshot designs.

FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) commented on the United States Supreme Court accepting National Rifle Association of America v. Maria T. Vullo for review. The decision is a landmark development in one of the most closely watched First Amendment cases in the nation. 

“This is a historic step forward for free speech, the NRA’s millions of members, and for all who believe in freedom,” says NRA CEO & EVP Wayne LaPierre. “The NRA’s fight for justice continues – this time in the highest court in the land. At a time when free speech is under attack as never before, it is important that government officials be sent a message that they cannot use intimidation tactics to silence those with whom they disagree.”   

In a May 2018 lawsuit, the NRA alleged that Vullo, at the behest of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, took aim at the NRA and conspired to use the regulatory power of the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) to “financially blacklist” the NRA – coercing banks and insurers to cut ties with the Association to suppress its pro-Second Amendment speech. The NRA argues that Vullo’s actions were meant to silence the NRA – using “guidance letters,” backroom threats, and other measures to cause financial institutions to “drop” the Association.
 
The NRA’s First Amendment claims withstood multiple motions to dismiss. But in 2022, after Vullo appealed the trial court’s ruling, the Second Circuit struck down the NRA’s claims. The court ruled that in an era of “enhanced corporate social responsibility,” it was reasonable for New York’s financial regulator to warn banks and insurance companies against servicing pro-gun groups based on the supposed “social backlash” against those groups’ advocacy. The court also ruled that Vullo’s guidance – written on her official letterhead and invoking her regulatory powers – was not a directive to the institutions she regulated, but rather a mere expression of her political preferences. 

On February 7, 2023, the NRA petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking review of the Second Circuit decision. 

The Court granted review on the following question:  Does the First Amendment allow a government regulator to threaten regulated entities with adverse regulatory actions if they do business with a controversial speaker, as a consequence of (a) the government’s own hostility to the speaker’s viewpoint or (b) a perceived “general backlash” against the speaker’s advocacy?

On this episode, we’re talking with Joe Bartozzi, president and CEO of the National Shooting Sports Foundation and Jared McJunkin, NWTF director of conservation operations in the central region.

EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and its Commission recently issued a resolution commending the NWTF for its vital role in restoring and conserving wild turkeys in Kentucky and nationally.

“The NWTF is very thankful and humbled by this recognition from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and its Commission,” said Derek Alkire, NWTF district biologist for Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee. “Volunteers across the state work tirelessly towards the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.

“Receiving the Holster of the Year award from Guns & Ammo is a tremendous honor for Safariland,” said Eric Gasvoda, GM of Duty Gear for Safariland. “On behalf of both Safariland and the team at Haley Strategic Partners, we are thrilled to receive this prestigious award as it further validates our combined commitment to provide innovative and reliable products to the concealed carry community.”

Iowa Governor, Kim Reynolds, recently issued a proclamation in honor of the 50 years of mission fulfillment by the National Wild Turkey Federation, both within Iowa and on a national scale.

“The Iowa State Board is extremely appreciative of the efforts of fellow board member and legislative committee chair Fred Long,” said John Burk, district biologist for Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. “Policy is about relationships and Fred has been the eyes and ears at the capitol for NWTF for years. Without his efforts, this proclamation would not have happened. We are also thankful to Governor Reynolds for taking the time to officially recognize the contribution that the NWTF has made to the state of Iowa and nationally over the previous 50 years.”

The proclamation, in part, reads:

“…WHEREAS, over the course of 50 years, the National Wild Turkey Federation and its millions of members and state chapters across the nation, have worked with state, federal and nongovernmental partners to promote the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage; and

Have you ever seen a wild turkey with irregular-colored plumage?

If you hunt turkeys long enough, it’s likely that you’ll eventually encounter what appears to be a phenomenon in nature: a wild turkey displaying irregular plumage. I’ve been hunting turkeys for 18 years, and I’ve seen close to a dozen different birds like this, including an all-white hen I harvested from a flock of wild birds one fall — perfectly legal — in Wisconsin. 

Non-traditional plumage arrangements are known as color phases. What are the different color phases and variations? And, what causes them? I spoke with NWTF biologist Mark Hatfield to better understand the topic. 

Hatfield began by saying that “some color phases are more prevalent than others and can be more common in certain locations based on the gene pool. Wild turkeys and domestic turkeys are known to interbreed in some instances, but do not fully explain all the color phases and variations. It’s assumed that color-phase birds also face greater selection pressure from predators and hunters due to their lack of camouflage.” 

Follow along to learn about the most common color phases of wild turkeys that the NWTF recognizes and some points about each.
