This new Alpine Lager can design is now available in stores across New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island —just in time for deer season.

“Our Alpine Lager drinkers live for getting outside, and the excitement we’ve generated through our Alpine Blaze Orange Camo pack this year has been fun and authentic,” said Moosehead Breweries VP of Sales and Marketing Trevor Grant. “Our partnership with TrueTimber has given us the opportunity to leverage the world’s best-selling camouflage in our packaging and we look forward to collaborating more in the future.”

GENERAL JOB DESCRIPTION

TALLADEGA, Ala. – On Oct. 18, 2023, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) hosted its inaugural Premier Shooting Expo – an interactive event for vendors and consumers, set across the 500 acres of CMP’s Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama.

Over 100 guests attended the Expo, where they were able to meet with 17 different marksmanship industry and non-industry retailers to test out the latest products first-hand. The Expo also included exclusive door prize opportunities for those in attendance and the chance to fire CMP’s own M1 Garand rifles and 1911 pistols.

“It was a great event, showcasing firearm vendors from across the country and showcasing the range,” said Greg Raines, CMP Chief Commercial Officer. “We’re already planning for the 2024 Expo, where we look to have triple the showing over the first year’s numbers.”

Some of today’s leading manufacturers attended the inaugural Premier Shooting Expo, including a long-time supporter of the CMP and its programs – GLOCK, Inc.

“I’ve always been a firm believer in putting our product in a person’s hands,” said GLOCK’s National Sales Manager, Bob Radecki. “To me, this is the best sales opportunity you can have – when you’re interacting directly with the consumer and you’re actually having the opportunity to show them your product, show them the benefits of your product and actually use it.”

The leading law enforcement distributor will support Caracal firearms sales in the public safety and commercial marketplaces.

Caracal USA, a leading international manufacturer of small arms for the law enforcement and defense markets, proudly announces a strategic partnership with an industry leader in the law enforcement, public safety, military, homeland security, and shooting sports marketplace: KROLL International, LLC.  With over 35 years of experience and deep relationship-building within the public safety community, KROLL is committed to increasing its market share for Caracal products.

“We are delighted to welcome KROLL as our newest Caracal Distribution Partner,” Bill Silver, VP of sales for Caracal, said.  “For many years KROLL has been a strong supplier to the law enforcement community and we are proud to bring them on board so they may offer some of the world’s finest firearms to the departments, agencies, and individual officers they service. They also have a strong commercial presence and that dealer base will benefit as well.”

“KROLL is excited to add Caracal USA to our extensive list of over 200 world-class manufacturers,” commented Aaron Vanslambrouck, marketing manager for KROLL. “From enhanced pistols to patrol rifles, Caracal provides a unique product offering that is high quality and engineered for duty. Furthermore, KROLL’s dealer network will benefit from stocking Caracal and providing their products to their customers.”

KROLL will be marketing Caracal’s CAR816 A2 5.56×45 NATO gas operated short stroke piston rifles, the CAR814 A2 Patrol and MOE rifles, the built-for-combat Enhanced F 9mm pistol, the new CSR sniper rifles, CMP9 9x19mm and the Lynx-DS pistols.

Fort Robinson State Park and Enders Reservoir State Recreation Area in western Nebraska have called off Halloween festivities Oct. 28 due to cold, icy conditions forecasted in the area.

Haunted Camping at Enders Reservoir is still hosting its Oct. 27 festivities starting at 4 p.m. They include a pumpkin-carving contest, games, campsite-decorating contest, costume contest and haunted trail hike. See the event listing at Calendar.OutdoorNebraska.gov for a complete schedule.

Those interested in attending other Nebraska Game and Parks events this weekend should call ahead before leaving home to check for additional cancellations at locations across the state. Contact information can be found in the event listings at Calendar.OutdoorNebraska.gov.

The National Weather Service has forecasted freezing rain and snow over the next several days. Freezing rain began falling in western Nebraska on Thursday. The eastern half of Nebraska is expected to see similar conditions by Saturday.

Phragmites, a non-native, invasive, noxious plant, is spreading rapidly along rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands throughout the state. Officials at Nebraska Game and Parks are asking waterfowl hunters to help keep from making the problem worse.

The plant, which grows up to 15 feet tall, often is used as camouflage for hunting blinds. But moving the plant and its feathery heads containing up to 2,000 seeds from one location to the other can spread those seeds and establish a new population of the troublesome plant.

That is what biologists think occurred at Goose Lake Wildlife Management Area in Rock County. In 2010, they discovered two stands of the common reed in locations that led them to believe it found its way to the lake as camouflage on a hunter’s duck boat. Repeated applications of herbicides have nearly eradicated those stands, but it continues to persist.

Josh Kounovsky, a Game and Parks wildlife biologist in northeastern Nebraska, says he has seen phragmites leaving the Missouri River and Lewis and Clark Lake on duck boats. That could have contributed to the spread of the plant along roadways throughout the region.

“It’s not the only mode, but it is a mode of transmission,” Kounovsky said.

Laurel, Md.—U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials at the Patuxent Research Refuge in central Maryland reached out to the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) and its members for help to repair dilapidated and hazardous structures that provide access to fishing and wildlife watching. They didn’t need to ask twice.

Through the USA’s Work Boots on the Ground program, eight union volunteers from the Baltimore DC Metro Building Trades, International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) District Council 51, and the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters used their skills to renovate and overhaul the decking and railings on the Chan S. Robbins Outdoor Education Pavilion in August.

“This education pavilion was completely shut down and nonusable,” said USA Conservation Programs Manager Sam Phipps. “Now it’s open to the public and wheelchair accessible all because of USA and the trades.”

In all, union volunteers donated 264 hours of labor, valued at nearly $14,000, to complete the project.

The Patuxent Research Refuge is unique among wildlife refuges. It’s the largest block of unfragmented forest between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, and it’s a haven for songbirds like the scarlet tanager and wood thrush. It’s also the only refuge established to support conservation research and habitat management.

American Honda has announced the return of its flagship multipurpose side-by-sides, the Pioneer 1000, Pioneer 1000-5 and Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew, for the 2024 model year. As part of a larger brand partnership between Honda and camouflage industry leader TrueTimber®, these models will be available in Atera Camo, a pattern designed by TrueTimber that is exclusive to Honda in the powersports industry.

“The partnership we have developed with Honda over the years has grown into something truly special and this launch really drives home the passion each of these brands share for the outdoors,” said TrueTimber CEO Rusty Sellars. “Seeing the Pioneer side-by-side lineup in Atera camo is very exciting and we know outdoorsmen and women all over will be excited to get their hands on a Pioneer for the hunt, work, fun and everything in between.”

The Pioneer lineup is synonymous with well-rounded performance, offering utility on the job site and performance on the trail.

As with all the vehicles in Honda’s lineup, the Pioneer models stand out from the competition thanks to their rugged durability, reliable performance and renowned quality.

Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew

Since its introduction last year, the Pioneer 1000-6 Deluxe Crew is quickly becoming a staple on ranches, construction sites and trails across the country, thanks to its ability to get more done with unrivaled efficiency. A spacious six-person cab with best-in-class second-row space gets more workers to the job site, while the full-size cargo bed and various storage compartments carry loads of tools and supplies. The time-tested and famously reliable 999cc Unicam engine is matched with Honda’s rock-solid automatic dual clutch transmission (DCT) for efficiency, durability and performance that owners can count on day in and day out.

The brightness, when combined with the wide notch, provides more visible indexing for increased precision and accuracy.

This second-generation Big Dot sight delivers ultra-fast target acquisition in any light thanks to its industry-leading large front sight with Glow Dot and tritium center. Available with an Orange or Yellow front sight, the Glow Dot is visible even before the tritium can be seen. This glow, in addition to the large dot size, improves speed and accuracy while shooting on the move. Its V-notch rear sight with vertical white stripe and tritium inset facilitates a dot-the-‘i’ sight picture that is fast and instinctive in high-stress situations.

75-year-old American fishing rod manufacturer offers expanded performance and increased angler benefits via the world’s only functionalized graphene technology

Graphene is a single-atom-thick honeycomb layer of carbon that is harder than diamond yet more elastic than rubber, tougher than steel yet lighter than aluminum. Graphene is currently the strongest and stiffest material known to man. It’s 200 times stronger than steel, stronger than diamond, and 30 times stronger than Kevlar.

Graphene has been around since 2003, when it was discovered by scientists at the University of Manchester in the UK. It’s been extremely well researched in the 20 years since and is being used in commercial applications ranging from tennis rackets, snow skis, and golf-club shafts to racing cars. It’s also used in electronics, super conductors, textiles, desalination equipment, and even paint.

Until now, “graphene” fly rods available on the market contained a small percentage of graphene nano material contained within the resin of carbon-fiber prepreg. It’s this prepreg material that’s rolled onto a mandrel and cured to create a fly-rod blank. Prepreg with graphene-infused resin is available from a handful of suppliers and has allowed some manufacturers to build fly rods that are reportedly lighter and stronger.

St. Croix Rod, however, has found a better way to use graphene in fishing rods and owns the exclusive rights to do so via a strategic partnership with the progressive Indianapolis-based company, MITO® Material Solutions.

Spring Hill, Tenn. —Sixty-five youths and their families joined union volunteers for a weekend packed with conservation-related activities during the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USA) 5th Annual Family Campout at Montgomery Bell State Park in Burns, Tenn., October 20-22.

Shifting the annual event from summer to fall this year provided comfortable weather for the campers to enjoy a variety of outdoor experiences including archery, fishing, a scavenger hunt, a campfire with s’mores, and pumpkin painting.

“The pumpkin activity was my favorite part of the weekend,” said USA Conservation Coordinator Cody Campbell. “I loved seeing all the excitement and creativity as the families painted the pumpkins together.”

Ten volunteers from the Nashville Building and Construction Trades Council (BCTC), Insulators International, United Association of Plumbers, Fitters, Welders & Service Technicians Local 572, and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) assisted the campers with various activities, served meals, and ensured they had a great experience.

According to Nashville BCTC President Eric Coons, Camo the Clown—a new addition—was a big hit at the event as he got kids excited with bird sounds, nature trivia, and exhibits.

With so much time and effort invested into a big game hunting trek, it comes with little certainty of success. There can be no more frustrating scenario than taking a shot and being unable to harvest the trophy due to receding light and a dwindling blood trail.

NEBO’s latest offering, the IllumaTrace Blood Tracker Flashlight, is a game changer. The IllumaTrace employs revolutionary technology to illuminate blood through an alternating strobe effect that vivifies and dulls blood for easy identification on various backgrounds and terrains.

The IllumaTrace Blood Tracker features dual light modes to allow the user to transition between white light to illuminate the path or choose three blood-tracking strobe rate modes to work in several environments or ambient conditions. The Blood Tracker mode provides an alternating “vivifying” and “fulling” mode to cast a light that enhances or dulls red items based on the LEDs used.

With a range of up to 292 feet, the IllumaTrace Blood Tracker provides the visibility needed in open or dense wood terrain to track blood trails successfully. It is impact-resistant, lightweight, and USB-C rechargeable. With a run time of up to 2 hours and 30 minutes in white light mode, and 3 hours in strobe mode, it provides hours of illumination and tracking capability on a single charge.

Made from anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, the IllumaTrace Blood Tracker has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and the finish is scratch and corrosion-resistant, making it extremely durable and strong while still being lightweight, weighing less than a pound. It is waterproof in up to one meter of fresh water for 30 minutes, so it can be called upon even when an unexpected rainstorm rolls in.
