Trijicon Goes Big With King’s Camo

King's Outdoor World Blog 27 Jan 2012, 9:20 pm CET

SHOT Show 2012 was a great show for us at King’s Camo. We appreciate all of you who stopped by our booth. One great attraction at the show was Trijicon. They are coming out with some great scopes.

At the Trijicon Booth, they sported a huge banner featuring their TARS™ variable power riflescope. It was great to see our King’s Desert Shadow Camo featured in the picture. The great picture is of Cory Lundberg of CODA Hunts and a great supporter of King’s Camo. The photo was taken by John Laptad.

The tactical gun market is growing like crazy, especially in predator hunting. When it comes to camouflage for predator and coyote hunting, nothing comes close to the effectiveness of our King’s Desert Shadow and Snow Shadow Camo Patterns.

Remember Wolf 07?

Wild Boar Hunting in California and Worldwide 25 Jan 2012, 7:50 pm CET

He is now federally protected by the Endangered Species Act

DFG News January 24, 2012

The California Department of Fish and Game just published a press release regarding this now famous wolf.

“The gray wolf designated OR7 has remained in California since he crossed the state line on Dec. 28. The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) closely monitors the wolf’s position and progress, and will report on his status through a new website at www.dfg.ca.gov/wolf/.

While OR7 is the only documented wolf in California, any wild gray wolf that returns to California is protected under the Federal Endangered Species Act, administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The federal law generally prohibits the harassment, harm, pursuit, hunting, shooting, wounding, killing, trapping, capture or collection of wolves in California, or the attempt to engage in any such conduct. Penalties include fines up to $100,000 and one-year imprisonment. Though many sightings have been reported, all other recent “wolf” sightings that have been investigated in California have been found to be something else, such as a coyote, a dog or a hybrid wolf-dog. Despite reports to the contrary, DFG is not aware of confirmed sightings of other wolves in California since 1924. . . Concerns about human safety are largely based on folklore and are unsubstantiated. In recent years there was one human mortality in Canada caused either by wolves or bears and one confirmed human mortality in Alaska by wolves. Based on experience from states where substantial wolf populations now exist, wolves pose little risk to humans. However, DFG recommends that people never approach a wolf, or otherwise interact with or feed a wolf. Farmers and ranchers can reduce the likelihood of attracting wolves and other predators by removing potential sources of food and other attractants from their land such as discarded animal carcasses, bone piles, etc. . . OR7 is a 2 ½ year old male formerly from a pack in northeast Oregon. He is being monitored through various means, including with a Global Positioning System (GPS) device that periodically transmits its location. It is not possible to predict his next movements, but he has remained in eastern Lassen County for approximately one week. DFG is notifying media, local officials and landowners of OR7’s general whereabouts. DFG has been following the recovery and migration of gray wolves in western states with the expectation that at some point they will likely reach California. The last confirmed wild gray wolf in California was killed in Lassen County in 1924. The available historic information on wolves in California suggests that while they were widely distributed, they were not abundant. DFG has summarized information about wolves in California which can be found at www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/wolf/docs/Gray_Wolf_Report_2012.pdf.”
The release also references a graphic to distinguish a wold from a coyote. It is found at the official website of the State of Montana: http://fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/management/wolf/wolfCoyote.html. Have a look. PJJ

"WAR IN THE WOODS" -- "Wild Justice" Game Wardens On The Road About Marijuana Grows On Public Wildlands

HuntingLife Blogs 24 Jan 2012, 5:45 am CET

Swan Testifying before the US Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control On December 7, 2011, US Forest Service Chief David Ferrell stated that in 2011 “Marijuana cultivation occurred on 67 National Forests in 20 states.” And this is just a drop in the bucket. Large marijuana gardens are also found on BLM, US National Park, state and regional parks and state and national Wildlife Refuges. A far cry from the “hippie gardens” of the 60’s and 70’s, today’s pot gardens on public lands are thousands of plants and almost entirely the work of international drug cartels. These gardens wreak havoc on the land, fish and wildlife, with heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides, growers poaching wildlife and damming and diverting streams. A thousand plants consume 5000 gallons of water a day, and the typical garden is 10-20 acres. Also, the growers, who live with the gardens 24/7 from April through October, are all armed, and the gardens are often booby-trapped, turning the woods into a war zone as recreationists and state and federal land managers are threatened, chased out of the woods, and sometimes shot. Sometimes people who do venture into the woods find bodies buried in shallow graves, apparently the result of wars between different cartels.

Chapin Outfitters™, a Division of Chapin International, Launches New Line of BioLogic® Heavy Duty Sprayers and Spreaders Just in Time for Hunting Season

BATAVIA, NY – Chapin Outfitters, a division of Chapin International, has developed a new line of BioLogic sprayers and spreaders to meet every outdoor sportsman’s needs. Whether a customer is covering tough terrain, hard-to-reach plots, challenging landscapes or remote areas that require portable gear, there is a BioLogic sprayer or spreader built for the situation.

Chapin Outfitters was born in January 2011 as a result of the Chapin International and BioLogic license agreement signed to create top-of-the-line sprayers and spreaders.

If you are wanting to improve whitetail management on your property a good start would be planting food plots and these BioLogic spreaders will help you do that.

“It’s a privilege to be partnered with the number-one name in food plots,” said James W. Campbell, CEO/President of Chapin International. “Mossy Oak BioLogic’s in-depth knowledge of animal behavior and effective food plot growth and maintenance will greatly enhance the quality products we put in the hands of today’s hunters.”

“We are so excited about BioLogic’s partnership with Chapin. The quality of the products and the people are exceptional,” said Bobby Cole, President of Mossy Oak BioLogic.

The new BioLogic Sprayer line features six powerful sprayers:

The first is a heavy-duty 2-gallon handheld sprayer with Viton™ seals and gaskets, an anti-clog filter, adjustable brass nozzle, and a 46-inch reinforced hose. This model is perfect for hard to reach spots.

Second, is the heavy-duty 4-gallon backpack sprayer, which also has all Viton seals and gaskets, a 100-percent leak proof cover, adjustable cone and fan nozzles, pressure relief valve, deluxe padded straps, and left/right hand pumps. The backpack sprayer comes in handy during early spring and late fall when the ground is wet and the ATV can tear up the land that the customer has worked hard to keep in good condition.

The new line of BIOLOGIC sprayers by Chapin Outfitters can help you plant those food plots right.

Next is the durable ATV sprayer in 15 and 25-gallon capacities. They’re designed for durability and superior performance with chemical resistant tanks and heavy duty 2.2 GPM Everflo® pumps. Both models mount directly to the ATV and feature a pressure gauge, a manifold for easy adaption of boom and boomless accessories, a Viton equipped 19-inch pistol grip dripless shutoff, and molded connectors with alligator battery clips.

These two models are accompanied by a trailer with all-terrain tires for easy towing behind an ATV. Both sprayers come with a 10-foot boom and also have the Viton equipped 19-inch pistol grip, dripless shutoff and pressure gauge. These top-of-the-line BioLogic sprayers provide the customer with durable and hassle-free solutions to land upkeep.

The BioLogic Spreader line consists of six heavy-duty spreader options:

The first is a Handheld Broadcast Spreader made of Mossy Oak commercial grade, water-resistant fabric. It features a calibrated flow rate adjuster, metal gears that are covered for the customer’s protection, and an easy on-off control that makes this spreader ideal for sowing seeds or lightweight fertilizer.

Next is the Push Broadcast Spreader which comes in 50, 85, 100, and 125-pound capacities. All of these models feature heavy-duty poly hoppers, rain covers and screens, rust-resistant, black powder-coated steel frames, adjustable flow rates, and all-terrain 14-inch pneumatic tires. The 125-pound model is the ultimate spreader with all stainless steel gears, axel, and hardware and features four directional baffles for precise application of the customer’s products of choice, including salt during the winter months.

Last in the BioLogic line of spreaders is the ATV Spreader with an 80-pound capacity, rust-proof, poly hopper with a rain cover and screen. The ATV Spreader features a sealed 12-volt motor and quick-connect horizontal mounting system and an adjustable flow rate for optimal coverage.
