Big bucks in Kansas!
From The Element:
“Tyler takes it back a couple years to his beginnings as he pursues higher video production while also pursuing old Kansas bucks. His buddy and familiar face to The Element, Justin Wright, has what we would call the perfect morning. Its hard to beat the quiet sounds of yellow Cottonwood leaves falling as the morning sun warms the landscape, but throw a super old, square bodied buck chasing does on a permission property into the mix and I think we might have hit the pinnacle of deer hunting.”

MISSOULA, Mont.—The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation calls on Congress to renew and permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) with full, dedicated, annual funding.
“For 52 years now, LWCF has provided critical funding for landscapes, wildlife and riparian habitat, wildlife refuges and national parks, and even community recreation facilities and neighborhood parks,” said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO. “These LWCF-funded projects provide long-lasting benefits for hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and all sorts of other recreational pursuits. Without congressional action, LWCF will expire on September 30 so the time to act is now!”
As of early September 2018, LWCF funding provided more than $108 million in funding that assisted 80 different RMEF land projects that permanently protected more than 152,000 acres of wildlife habitat.
“The Priority Recreational Access program is a key facet of the LWCF program,” said Blake Henning, RMEF chief conservation officer. “It helps maintain and expand access to our public lands.”
One example of the LWCF Priority Recreational Access program is the Middle Creek project in south-central Colorado. RMEF recently teamed up with the Bureau of Land Management and other partners to permanently protect and conserve a 28-acre property that improved access to 8,500 acres of adjacent public land.
LWCF helps conserve wild and undeveloped places, cultural heritage and benefits fish, wildlife and recreation. Its funding comes from royalties paid by energy companies drilling for oil and gas on the Outer Continental Shelf. The royalties bring in $900 million annually, most of which is diverted to other federal programs.
RMEF urges sportsmen, women and all other Americans who cherish conservation and our public lands to contact their elected representatives and urge them to renew and fully reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:
Founded over 30 years ago, fueled by hunters and a membership of more than 227,000 strong, RMEF has conserved more than 7.3 million acres for elk and other wildlife. RMEF also works to open and improve public access, fund and advocate for science-based resource management, and ensure the future of America’s hunting heritage.

WEST POINT, MS – Mossy Oak teams up with Alaska Guide Creations to bring outdoor enthusiasts binocular packs in Mossy Oak Break-Up Country and Bottomland. The packs are available immediately and are being offered in a variety of styles.
Alaska Guide Creations is the manufacturer of the Original Binocular Pack. The first pack was designed by founder Jaret Owens in the 1970s; Owens wanted a more durable, versatile bino pack to use while guiding in Alaska and the product line took off from that moment. Owens’ ingenuity has revolutionized the way hunters and outdoor enthusiasts alike protect and carry their binoculars. Today, Alaska Guide Creations offers a wide range of options to suit the customer’s particular needs.
The Alaska Classic offers the classic design features of the original binocular harness chest pack Jaret developed 40+ years ago with today’s modern advancements in innovation and durability. This model is considered the mid-size line and is meant to accommodate full-size binoculars up to around 50mm objective lenses. For example, most binoculars with 42 mm and 50 mm objectives would fit perfectly into the Classic. Main compartment measurements are approximately 6.75-inch tall x 6.5-inch wide x 3.5 inches deep. Front compartment measurements are approximately 4.5-inch tall x 6-inch wide x 1.5 inches deep. Side compartment measurements are approximately 2.5-inch wide x 1 inch deep. Rear compartment measurements are 7-inch tall x 6.5 inches wide “flat.”
The M.A.X. pocket option adds one additional pocket at the bottom of the pack that is about 1 inch tall and is the same depth and width as the main compartment. This pocket is perfect for storing a light pair of gloves, headlamp, knife and blades, or any other small necessities.
Also available is the Kodiak C.U.B. with M.A.X. Pocket, a compact pack meant for 8×42 and 10×42 binos. The Kodiak has an extra pocket in addition to the standard main, front, side, and rear pockets; the pocket is located at the base of the pack and is a 1-inch deep pocket with the same dimensions as the main compartment. This extra pocket is ideal for gloves or a knife. The Kodiak is the perfect integration of simplicity and utility.
All packs are shipped with harness and tether systems. The harness features padded shoulder straps and adjustable-length straps. Alaska Guide Creation’s bino packs are available in Mossy Oak Break-Up Country and Bottomland.
Mossy Oak Break-Up Country, America’s No. 1 Camo Pattern, utilizes dramatically enlarged limbs, leaves, and bark to break up your outline in the fields and woods. It’s a pattern unlike any other before it and works in all types of terrain across the country.
Bottomland is the pattern that launched Mossy Oak more than 30 years ago. Driven by the desire to get closer to turkeys in his home state of Mississippi, Toxey Haas turned a handful of bark, sticks, and leaves into an extremely lifelike hunting pattern, unlike anything the world had seen. Featuring a legendary outline-breaking ability that helps hunters blend into dark hardwoods, flooded timber, and treestand environments, this classic pattern remains every bit as effective three decades later.
MSRP varies by style from $89.99 to $109.99. Bino packs can be found online at alaskaguidecreations.com.
Also available are the Pistol Holsters. These holsters offer easy access to your sidearm while providing the flexibility to strap it to almost any piece of gear. The two-piece design allows the Holster to be used in a right or left handed fashion. It not only attaches to all AGC packs, but also to any other chest harness, backpack, or everyday belt.
The adjustable nature of the of Holster makes it perfect for carrying MOST Compact and Sub-Compact Autos as well as Snub-nose and shorter barrel revolvers. Please ensure that the pistol you intend to use in the holster does not extend more than 6″ from the front of the grip.

Barbary sheep hunting in New Mexico in another new video from BeAlive.
From BeAlive:
“From the filmmaker: ‘There is a perceived idea in both the hunting and non-hunting mainstream communities of what hunting is, and it’s this: hunting is about killing. To me, hunting is a journey. That’s what the art should represent. It’s not all about the kill, but rather all of the intangibles that surround that one moment in time. The unpredictability of the unknown, the journey of emotions that come with it. To me this hunt represented that. A chase for Barbary Sheep, in New Mexico, on public land. A Blood Origins Journey'”

Denver, Colorado, September 9, 2018 – BRP (TSX:DOO) continues to conquer the heart of off-road enthusiasts in North America and expands the Can-Am off-road brand’s footprint in the side-by-side industry by introducing an all-new Can-Am Maverick Sport MAX DPS 1000R and new innovative specialty packages.
The Can-Am Maverick Sport MAX DPS 1000R delivers riding excitement for up to four riders in a daring, precise and confident package. The versatile performance side-by-side vehicle is especially attuned for trails. A performance-grade suspension system with FOX 2.0 PODIUM QS3 shocks, power steering, and 60-in (152.4 cm) width improve the overall riding experience. A rear-mounted Rotax V-Twin engine supplies optimal performance and reduces cockpit noise.
“The new Can-Am Maverick Sport MAX vehicle is designed for performance-driving enthusiasts who enjoy conquering off-road challenges alongside their friends and family,” said Bernard Guy, BRP Senior Vice-President, Global Product Strategy. “We continue to advance Can-Am ownership by equipping our vehicles with functional designs, superior ergonomics and specialty features to stand out against the competition.”
The designs and functions allow more comfort and roominess for four riders. Plus, to enrich the interior comfort, four ErgoPrint seats, additional foot rests and passenger grab bars complement the driver’s standard amenities.
More than 200 accessories are available at launch to let owners customize the vehicle to fit their needs. The Maverick Sport MAX DPS 1000R has a starting price of $18,999 US.
Specialty vehicles for rock crawling and mud riding
Can-Am also unveiled three specialty vehicles driven by the enthusiasts. The new Maverick Sport X rc side-by-side vehicle ($21,299 US) comes factory-equipped for rock-crawling with a wider stance, higher clearance and added interior and exterior protection for operation in harsh environments. The inclusion of Smart-Lok* with ROCK mode, high-grade FOX shocks, arched A-arms and larger tires provide exceptional maneuverability when the going gets rough.
The new Maverick Sport X mr ($20,999 US) and Defender MAX X mr ($20,799 US) side-by-side vehicles each target the mud-riding devotees with purpose-built refinements, including snorkeled air and engine intakes, but do so in different packages.
The Maverick Sport X mr can accommodate two riders, while the Defender MAX X mr package can carry up to six adults with its dual rows of bench seating. Both side-by-side vehicles include Smart-Lok with MUD mode, higher travel, arched A-arms, a stable 64-in (162.6 cm) width, extended ground clearance and aggressive ITP mud tires for superior traction. The Maverick Sport X mr has a new gauge, FOX shocks and premium half doors for a more functional performance.
The new Can-Am Outlander 6×6 450 ATV, complete with true six-wheel traction and capability, has steel racks and other strategic changes to expand the 6×6 segment to new customers.
In September of 2015 BRP President and CEO José Boisjoli pledged to unveil a new side-byside vehicle every sixth months through the year 2020. The Maverick Sport MAX DPS 1000R is the seventh vehicle introduced since that time.
*Smart-Lok was developed in conjunction with TEAM Industries, a market leader in the drive train industry.
