Majority of State Chief Executives Now Members of Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus OCT 05, 2010 05:51P.M. Majority of State Chief Executives Now Members of Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus
Miss Hoptober Cotton Tail Predator Decoy By Montana Deco Developed to fool even the most demanding eyes, the ultra realistic HD photography on Montana Decoy’s new Miss Hoptober takes realism to an all new level. The simple twist-and-stake set up is a hallmark of all Montana Decoys and the new HD Miss Hoptober fits easily in a predator vest or pack. Measuring a scant 10×5 inches folded, the Miss Hoptober Predator Decoy expands to 24×10 inches set up. Weighing in at a mere 7 oz means it will go unnoticed until you stop to call. Suggested retail for the Miss Hoptober is $19.99 and will be on dealer shelves by February 2011.
Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- The bipartisan Governors Sportsmen’s Caucus (GSC) recently added four new members, reaching the milestone of 29 member Governors, a majority of the 50 state chief executives.
Visit www.montanadecoy.com or call 888-332-6998 for a full list of decoys, tips and where to find a dealer near you. About Montana Decoy Created in 1996 by Jerry McPherson, Montana Decoy got its start from an average hunter trying to improve his bowhunting success. Tormented by an uncooperative bull elk, McPherson returned to his truck, thinking about how he could design a packable decoy without adding bulk and weight. McPherson got inspiration from folding band saw blades. He utilized the same twist-and-fold concept to hold open the decoy image. Montana Decoy offers turkey, elk, whitetail, mule deer, antelope and predator options along with a Moo Cow confidence decoy. All share the same ease of use, light weight and ultra realistic HD photography.
The GSC is modeled after the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) in the U.S. Congress in Washington, DC, and the 38 states sportsmen’s caucuses that make up the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses (NASC). “Although this Caucus is only a year old, having a majority of the nation’s Governors joining together in a common purpose of protecting and advancing sportsmen’s access to resources is a major accomplishment for our overall state program,” said Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation President Jeff Crane.

The members of the GSC work closely with their respective state sportsmen’s caucuses in advancing sportsmen’s interests in the states. “The CSF State Program, including the state legislative caucuses and the Governors has grown tremendously over the last few years, complimenting one another and making sure that sportsmen in their states have access to quality habitat,” said Bethany O’Donovan, Director of CSF State Programs.

of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), the nation’s most active extreme animal rights movement. The press officers are associated with other animal rights groups, both mainstream and more militant, like Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) and the Animal Defense League.” Below is the message from BEAR Group and APLNJ (formerly New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance) to stop the bear hunt: ———————————— NJ – There are Only 63 Days Left to Save Our Bears Dear Members, Supporters and Friends, New Jersey Outdoor Alliance
There are Only 63 Days Left to Save Our Bears Two critical actions to do immediately – NEW INFORMATION BELOW
TRENTON, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Below is an announced plan to stop New Jersey’s black bear hunt by two animal rights organizations.
Today, representatives from the Coalition to Protect New Jersey Black Bears are meeting with Robert Martin (Commissioner, Department of Environmental Protection) and his chief of staff, Magdalena Padilla.
Readers should keep in mind as they read the plan that although the organizations reference a recent study by Dr. Edward Tvass, Dr. Tvass’ PhD is in physical-organic chemistry and not wildlife management or wildlife biology.
Today also marks the day when Dr. Edward Tavss’ study is being released.
His past works on black bears do not appear to have been subjected to scholarly peer review, which “requires a community of experts in a narrowly defined field, who are qualified and able to perform impartial review. Peer review is generally considered essential to academic quality, and used in most important scientific publications.”
This week, we will be releasing every scandal involved with Black Bear management in New Jersey. How the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, in conjunction with the NJ Fish and Game Council sabotaged, manipulated, and lied to NJ residents about black bears to garner support for their brutal hunt.
The plan also states that the during the Black Bear Management Policy Comment Period 9,287 comments were received and 6,484 (70%) were against the hunt.
NEW INFORMATION Dr. Ed Tavss’ Study In a study released today, Rutgers University Professor Dr. Edward Tavss states, contrary to what the NJ Division of Wildlife (DFW) claims, bear nuisance complaints in New Jersey have significantly declined. The Tavss Study took 5 months and utilized 4700 records obtained by the DFW through the Open Public Records Act.
It should be noted that of the 6484 comments against the hunt more than 3,000 were reported to have been submitted by the Humane Society of the United States from their membership ranks, without signatures and apparently without the knowledge of those whose names were submitted. Finally, the animal rights extremists make a claim (below) that “the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, in conjunction with the NJ Fish and Game Council sabotaged, manipulated, and lied to NJ residents about black bears to garner support for their brutal hunt.”
Dr. Tavss study is here: http://aplnj.org/EdTavss2010Study.pdf or here: http://savenjbears.com/EdTavsse2010Study.pdf The Press Release is here: http://tinyurl.com/393wjqow
Readers should note that the Anti Defamation League lists the Executive Director of one of the organizations making the claim as a press officer of a “growing group of tested, well-spoken above ground activists who will provide the media with information regarding actions by the underground, along with explanations of their ideology and philosophy.”
Please help us publicize Ed Tavss’ study. Write about this in your letters to the editor. (See number 2 below.) ACTIONS: The Governor Governor Christie HAS the power to stop the bear hunt. In 2000, Governor Whitman stopped the hunt a few days before it was due to begin. We must remind the Governor how much support bears have in our state. The actions below are CRITICAL!

Talking points: 1. Please read Ed’s Tavss’ report on his study. Please read the press release. This conclusively proves the nuisance complaints went down, so Christie’s justification for a hunt is unfounded. Even if nuisance complaints went up, the hunt will NOT solve problems. Learn all you can. Time is running out.

“We are thrilled to receive this award from Shooting Industry,” said Mike Baker, president of GunVault. “It’s a tremendous honor to be chosen as this year’s best when it comes to security products from such an esteemed group of industry leaders.” The award was presented on July 23, 2010 during the 8th Annual Shooting Industry Masters in Grand Island, Neb. The 500-member academy, comprised of manufacturers, distributors and dealers considered 114 product entries and 41 service award entries this year. This marks the 19th year that these outstanding achievements have been formally recognized by the academy.
NRA - ILA Charlotte, NC --(Ammoland.com)- NRA-ILA grass roots news recently debuted a new and improved format for the “Grassroots News Minute” video!
The MicroBioVault uses biometrics, specifically fingerprint recognition, to access the safe contents faster and more securely than ever before. A high-performance algorithm is used to achieve speedy identification of enrolled fingerprints and at the same time has a very low False Reject Rate (FRR). The system can handle up to 60 fingerprint templates.
To view the current video in its new format, please click above: Cam Edwards talks to NRA-ILA Pennsylvania state liaison John Hohenwarter – NRA News – October 4, 2010.
The MicroBioVault is constructed of tamper-proof, heavy-gauge steel and features a soft foam interior to protect contents. The keypad triggers a lid that not only has a high-strength lock mechanism, but also performs reliably, time after time. Precise fittings are virtually impossible to pry open with hand tools. Powered by four AA batteries that last one year under normal conditions, the audio and LED low warning clearly indicate when the batteries need to be replaced. Back-up key is also provided for emergency access.

VISIBLE has developed a family of shot counter tags for a variety of weapons. These tags include highly secure two way wireless RuBee data links, as well as, custom sensors and high gain, dynamic amplification CMOS technology. The tags are based on several custom integrated circuits designed by VISIBILE. These unique chip designs help reduce power consumption so the tags have a minimum five year battery life to a maximum fifteen year battery life in normal field use, with conventional coin size Li batteries. Long battery life wireless tags make it possible to permanently seal tags into a MIL-STD-810G rugged package. The advanced state machine CPU contained in the tags is capable of providing complex real-time signal processing, waveform analysis, round interval statistics and a programmable predictor of barrel wear based on barrel temperature histograms. Independent test of the VISIBLE shot counter have consistently shown a 99% or better accuracy in basic shot counting mode.

Letter from Congressman Adler follows: ——————————————Dear SportsmanI am a strong and unwavering supporter of Second Amendment and sportsmen’s rights. Sporting is a valued pass-time, major economic contributor and to many folks in South Jersey and the Shore-area, a way of life. In the many “town halls” and public events I’ve had in towns like Manahawkin, Tuckerton and Toms River, I hear regularly about how critical it is to protect the community’s right to fish. That is why I am rolling up my sleeves in Congress to stand up for local hunters and fishermen.
New Jersey Outdoor Alliance TRENTON, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- The officers of the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance have determined it is best not to make endorsements in the upcoming federal elections (congress and US senate) this upcoming November.
I host a Sportsmen Advisory Board, because I am interested in the thoughts and concerns of hunters and fishers. As a member of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus, I advocate for pro-hunting policies with members of both sides of the aisle.
The focus of our organization is primarily on state issues and to perform the necessary steps to make a fair and thorough examination of all federal candidates and conclude with an array of endorsements is currently beyond the capabilities of our all-volunteer organization.
I supported the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act, which preserves millions of acres of wilderness, establishes new parks and monuments, and makes other down payments for the future of sporting and hunting in our great country. Among the most critical amendments to this bill was one which protects the Constitutional right to bear arms in our National Parks. It is critical that taxpayers be able to hunt on the very land they helped finance.
However, as we have in the past, we will on occasion become involved at the federal level if an individual case can be justified. In fact, two years ago the NJOA did believe it was justified to endorse John Adler for congress. Even though we will not be endorsing federal candidates this year we want to be clear to outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen that we believe Congressman Adler has done an exceptional job representing our state’s outdoor interests in Washington, DC. We also believe it is our obligation to recognize the efforts of legislators we have endorsed and who work diligently on behalf of our issues.
I will always vote to preserve Second Amendment rights. When the government tried to intrude on our privacy by taking away certain weapons designed for hunting, I was proud to stand tall with our sportsmen. I wrote the Secretary of Homeland Security to let her know, we can keep our country safe and free without impeding the rights afforded to hunters and fishers. I also voted to protect the right to bear arms in federal housing and in Puerto Rico.
Therefore, out of respect to his commitment and efforts to New Jersey’s outdoor community the officers of the NJOA feel it is appropriate to forward a letter from Congressman Adler that is addressed to each of you.
Fishing has always provided a living for families at the shore. We must work to continue this tradition. I have introduced legislation to help clean Barnegat Bay and put into place a plan to ensure its long-term health. My bill will help protect a valued natural resource, as well as the $3.3 billion worth of benefits that Barnegat Bay brings to our local economy.
My personal thanks go out to Congressman Adler. I have enjoyed working with him during the past two years and look forward to our future joint efforts in advancing conservation and environmental stewardship. Sincerely,
As an original cosponsor of The Flexibility in Rebuilding American Fisheries Act, I believe that more flexibility is needed in the process so that unrealistic quotas are not implemented to the detriment of our fishermen and New Jersey’s shore economy. Fishery management experts state that rebuilding requirements are too rigid and may not be the best way to manage species in diverse environments. The

RIPR brings significant capabilities to the future war fighter. RIPR provides power and data transmission through a 1913- Picatinny-Nato rail by attaching a rail with integrated power source onto existing and future weapons. RIPR’s integrated battery pack is central, universal and agnostic to the accessories it powers. RIPR power can be modified, and upgraded without rebuild of the (battery centric) individual accessories such as lasers, illuminating and thermal devices, optics, and others. Karl Lewis, President of LMT states, “We are looking forward to LMT designing and building platforms that can integrate RIPR technology with “purpose built accessories”. LMT will work on designs that more directly integrate the RIPR into the upper weapon platform, most significantly with the fielded M-4 carbine”.
