Coues deer in Arizona!

From The Mountain Project:

“At last, it’s Brittany’s turn to hunt the one tag she drew in 2017: a muzzleloader Coues deer tag in a southern Arizona unit. It’s public land, and the unit is popular. But despite Sam’s offer to come help glass after filling his tags on Sandhill Cranes, she makes the most of opening day on her best buck ever. Season 4 is back in Arizona, hunting one of our favorite species, the Coues Whitetail.”

Video: Hunting Axis Deer in Hawaii in the Hungry Life: Lanai from YETI

August 15, 2018 by Leave a Comment


YETI has launched a new video series that focuses on the hunting, fishing, and eating. In one of their first videos, renowned hunters (and two pro surfers) take on Axis deer in Hawaii.

From YETI:

“In Hawaii, Eduardo Garcia is joined by his landscape “interpreters” and pros each in their own right, Shane Dorian and Mark Healey. Here they show Eduardo Garcia how to traverse the terrain in pursuit of Axis deer, then head to the water to override the body’s over-protective instinct to breathe while spear fishing. What results is one very hard-earned meal.”

RMEF, Partners Take Action, Protect Popular Recreation Area, Wildlife Habitat

August 13, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

From The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:

MISSOULA, Mont.—A 120-acre tract of wildlife and riparian habitat in western Montana, under threat of development, is now permanently protected and open to public access thanks to timely collaborative work by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and its partners.

“This project is a big win for a multitude of reasons,” said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO. “It’s a win for elk and other wildlife. It’s a win for multiple-use and it’s a win for everyone seeking better access to our public lands.”

The property is located immediately to the north of the Bass Creek Recreation Area (BRCA) between Missoula and Hamilton. It lies at the base of the Bitterroot Mountains, borders Sweeney Creek and is approximately two miles east of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. It is also surrounded on three sides by the Bitterroot National Forest while a five-acre subdivision lies immediately to the east.

“This project maintains habitat values and prevents fragmentation of vital habitat for elk and other wildlife,” said Larry Irwin, RMEF board member who lives nearby in the Bitterroot Valley. “It also enhances recreation activity in the popular Bass Creek area and prevents the conversion of a non-motorized trail into a permanent vehicle route.”

A bank previously foreclosed on the land with the intent of selling it on the private market. If that happened, the Bitterroot National Forest could have been obligated to grant permanent access via the establishment of a motorized road through the property. Instead, RMEF and its partners worked together to purchase the land and convey it to the Bitterroot National Forest, thereby placing it in the public’s hands.

“This is a tremendous accomplishment for the Forest Service, our partners, and most of all, public land users,” said Tami Sabol, Stevensville District ranger. “The close proximity of the Bass Creek Recreation Area to Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley make it one of the most popular areas on the Bitterroot National Forest, providing a quality ‘backyard community’ recreation experience.”  Sabol also emphasized “this purchase consolidates existing federal ownership and provides connectivity across the Bass Creek, Larry Creek, and Sweeney Creek watersheds, which is a fantastic benefit for wildlife.”

The property is important winter range for elk and mule deer and is also home to whitetail deer, turkey and other bird and mammal life.

The BCRA is used by approximately 60,000 people each year for hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, mountain biking and other recreational pursuits. The acquisition provides improved access to adjacent public land and to Sweeney Creek.

“Farmers State Bank is so excited to partner with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Forest Service to provide a new outdoor recreational area in the Bitterroot Valley. Working with the RMEF and Forest Service to bring this project to fruition is a great example of community involvement and is one of the many reasons Farmers State Bank is proud to call Western Montana home,” said Kay Clevidence, Farmers State Bank president.

Funding for the project came from the Land and Water Conservation Fund Priority Recreational Access program, Montana Fish and Wildlife Conservation Trust, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Torstenson Family Endowment, National Wild Turkey Federation, Mule Deer Foundation, Bitterroot Backcountry Horsemen and Farmers State Bank.

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.

Austin, Texas (August 1, 2018) — YETI®, a leading premium outdoor brand, announces multiple new products to join its lineup. Today, the Austin, Texas-based company proudly reveals the TocayoTM Backpack, BoomerTM Dog Bowl, LowlandsTM Blanket, Rambler® Stackable Pints, and various Rambler® accessories.

“We are commited to building products that deliver innovation and premium performance for our customers,” says YETI CEO, Matt Reintjes. “Our teams are passionate about redefining everyday items by creating ones tough enough to withstand, whether in the backcountry or the backyard.”

YETI Backpack

The Tocayo Backpack is a rugged day pack engineered with a resilient exterior, superior padding, and ultra-strong zippers to keep your valuables protected, whether you’re commuting by floatplane, dirt road, or bike lane. Constructed with firm and durable EVA padding built into the base, back, and each compartment, the pack is designed to stand tall on its own and refuses to fall flat or tip over when you set it down.

This pack is built for maximum utility, with minimal exterior pockets and a sleek design. A QuickStashTM pocket located at the top of your pack keeps your earbuds, passport, or any other must-grabs permanently close by. The interior of the pack boasts a Rambler pocket on each side, which can snugly fit a variety of YETI drinkware, or even safekeep your dog leash or tennis shoes. A 360 ̊-protected laptop pocket and side-zip access gives you peace of mind as you carry your devices from point A to point B.

YETI Blanket

The Lowlands Blanket is ideal for laying low in epic spaces. Equal parts functional, plush and spacious, the ultra- durable Lowlands Blanket transforms every outdoor concert, tailgate, or backcountry post-up into your personal base camp. Featuring a waterproof bottom utility layer, as well as a supremely soft, insulated layer, Lowlands is there to keep you comfortable in any setting. To make this item even sweeter, this machine washable blanket repels dirt, burrs, and pet hair, and features reinforced loops at each corner so you can stake it down when needed.

YETI dog bowls

The Boomer Dog Bowl is designed to be as dependable and down for adventure as [wo]man’s best friend. This double-wall non-insulated dog bowl is constructed with ultra-durable kitchen-grade stainless steel to resist rust and roughhousing. Thanks to YETI’s BearFootTM non-slip base, it won’t slide across the floor, no matter how enthusiastically your pup chows down. Most importantly, Boomer is food safe and BPA-free so you can fill it to the brim with eight cups of fresh water, treats, or your canine’s favorite kibble, knowing your buddy is well fed and taken care of. And when they’ve licked the bowl clean, simply throw it in the dishwasher.

YETI mag slider

YETI is proud to introduce two new products to its Ramber line, including the 16oz Stackable Pint and Wine Tumbler MagSlider Lid. With elements that YETI fans have come to know and love, the Rambler Stackable Pint is constructed of 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel, features that familiar double-wall vacuum insulation, and includes a lid so you don’t waste a drop of your frosty beverage. These cups are easy to stack and pack so the whole crew can enjoy a cold one.

An add-on for YETI’s beloved Wine Tumblers, the Wine Tumbler MagSlider Lid ensures dirt and bugs stay out of your favorite varietal. The dishwasher-safe lid provides a snug seal that fits perfectly with your Tumbler.
