Today, less than 4 percent of the once-vast tallgrass prairie remains, of which nearly 80 percent lies within the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma. The purpose of the Flint Hills Legacy Conservation Area is to help maintain the integrity of tallgrass prairie wildlife habitat, stream water quality, and the rich agricultural heritage of the Flint Hills by acquiring and protecting up to 1.1 million acres of habitat through voluntary, perpetual conservation easements. These conservation easements will protect habitat for more than 100 species of grassland birds and 500 plant species, and ensure the region’s sustainable ranching culture – which directly supports conservation of the tallgrass prairie – will continue.
Secretary Salazar Marks Establishment of Flint Hills Legacy Conservation Area NOV 15, 2010 05:01P.M. Secretary Salazar Marks Establishment of Flint Hills Legacy Conservation Area First New Refuge Unit Created Under Obama Administration.
Service conservation easements are binding legal agreements that typically prohibit subdivision and commercial development activities, but allow for continued agricultural uses such as livestock grazing and haying. Under conservation easements, land ownership and property rights, including control of public access, remain with participating landowners. In addition, participating properties would remain on local tax rolls. “The Flint Hills has a strong and rich history of preserving the ranching heritage and the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s conservation easement program would provide a voluntary opportunity to preserve this heritage for future generations,” said Mike Collinge, a Flint Hills Rancher. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The project boundary includes almost 45,000 acres of existing conservation areas managed by The Nature Conservancy, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Ranchland Trust of Kansas, (an affiliate of the Kansas Livestock Association), and Kansas Land Trust.
WICHITA, KS --(Ammoland.com)- Today, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar joined conservation leadership, elected officials and other partners to announce the creation of the more than 1 million-acre Flint Hills Legacy Conservation Area (FHLCA), a new unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System.

The Flint Hills Legacy Conservation Area is the product of efforts by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, private landowners, and other agencies and partners to protect a unique and highly diverse area in eastern Kansas known as the Flint Hills Tallgrass Region.

“Thanks to the tireless efforts of private landowners, stakeholders, state agencies, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the tallgrass prairies of the Flint Hills will forever be protected as a crown jewel of America’s Great Outdoors,” said Secretary Salazar. “I am especially proud that the first new unit created under this Administration conserves working lands and recognizes the vital role farmers and ranchers play as stewards of our nation’s fish and wildlife resources. The Flint Hills Legacy Conservation Area will protect land, water, and wildlife while creating new opportunities for economic prosperity in the region.”

Wisconsin Gun Rights Political News
WI-FORCE is a strong advocate of training but that training will need to fit the needs of the permit holder, not how much money can be made by instructors and their organizations. The last 10 years we have seen, and will see, more so called experts pop up. The first couple of years after a state passes a personal protection bill, there are a large group of people in need of classes. Experts pop up out of nowhere. Once their state’s pool is reduced, many that were making a living instructing, run out of customers. They then expand their potential customers by expanding to other states. I strongly suggest you choose carefully, both choosing a class and the knowledge that you take from that class. Massad Ayoob, Thunder Ranch, and Gunsite training facility have great reputations and understand that good teachers know their material and are able to teach it to others. Many that think they can teach, believe so because they have been trained well, but they do not have the skills to teach their knowledge, while others teach well, but their knowledge is limited. Always check the background of the instructor or organization you are looking to train with. Make sure that the instruction you get matches your needs.
NOV 15, 2010 04:23P.M. Wisconsin Gun Rights Political News The elections are over, now what? by Jeff Nass
Wisconsin Firearm Owners, Ranges, Clubs & Educators Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- 2010 could have been a bad year in Madison for the Second Amendment.
WI-FORCE’s first job is to protect and help ensure the Second Amendment rights of all citizens of the Wisconsin. We will protect not just the rich, the young or healthy citizens, but also (and maybe more importantly) the poor and disabled.
WI-FORCE and our lobbyist, Bob Welch of the Welch Group, monitored over 100 bills and potential bills in Madison pertaining to firearms and hunting. Yes, I said over 100. When you needed a voice, WI-FORCE was there. We were able to get a few good bills passed and, more importantly, we stopped all of the very bad bills. WI-FORCE was your voice.
What can you do to help? Stay in contact with the Trigger ( get your buddies to sign up for the Trigger too! ) and check the website regularly at www.wi-force.org . When the time is right and, if it is needed, we will tell you to call or show up in Madison. Remember, when things were bad we were there. Now that things have changed, please support us.
Although a Personal Protection bill (including concealed carry of firearms) is first on our agenda, our legislators may also have some other minor things to deal with like jobs and the economy. WI-FORCE is committed to getting the best bill possible to allow the citizens of Wisconsin to exercise their Constitutional Rights.
About: Wi-FORCE promotes and protects the shooting sports, hunting, and the lawful ownership and use of firearms in Wisconsin. We coordinate match schedules of member clubs, sanction the state championship matches, monitor and recommend legislation, and provide training and educational programs for our members, competitors and Wisconsin shooters. Wi-FORCE supports the interaction and education of all individuals and groups interested in the shooting sports and the natural right of citizens to own arms. Visit: www.wi-force.org
What you should know about personal protection / concealed carry: No one has a bill, no one runs an approved or certified course for Wisconsin. WI-FORCE and NRA- ILA will be working with legislators to get the best bill that is possible passed. Our current legislators knew last January that Wisconsin would have a Personal Protection bill. There were some talks with the Majority party about passing a bill last summer before the election, but we could not get a reasonable bill. With the change, things are much friendlier, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Why is WI-FORCE the one to lead on this issue? First and foremost our motive is the Constitutional rights of the citizens of Wisconsin. We have been your voice, protecting the Second Amendment in Madison. Secondly, we have the resources in self-defense instruction that have taught classes for out of state carry permits for over 15 years. WIFORCE’s resources have extensive training in firearms and the judicious use of lethal force. They include Nationally Certified Counselors (they certify other instructors) for personal protection both inside and outside

High-volume cartridge case manufacturing can leave a burr on the flash hole, which can deflect and distort the primer flame, leading to erratic powder ignition and significant velocity variation. The Piloted Flash Hole Deburring Tool solves the problem. The Sinclair tool’s adjustable stainless steel pilot fits precisely into the cartridge case mouth to guide the tool shaft and control depth of cut. The tool steel cutter removes the burr on the flash hole’s mouth, and leaves a lightly chamfered edge. This ensures the primer flame is directed to the center of the powder column for uniform ignition.

The unique 12 earthtone, year-round color palette creates a realistic 3-D effect which maximizes concealment in a wide variety of hunting environments.

“I’m very excited about our relationship with Cedar Creek Camo,” said John Meng, president of Meng & Associates. “Cedar Creek Camo is the newest, most practical camo I’ve seen and I think it outperforms many of the well-known competitors, especially when hunting from thick cedar breaks as well as pine.”

areas of the pattern—the macro-pattern—are more critical to concealment at these engagement ranges, in a landscape of rocks, brush and scattered trees.
GORE OptiFade Camo & the Science of Nothing
• The Forest pattern is scientifically designed for close engagement ranges of under 20 yards and for elevated angles of attack—typically 15 feet up in a tree stand. At that proximity, the micro-pattern used in GORE® OPTIFADE® Concealment becomes more critical: it compensates for the contrasted, highly detailed background perceived by the prey.

Newark, DE --(Ammoland.com)- You wouldn’t head for the jungle with gear designed for Arctic terrain. By the same logic, as backcountry or tree stand hunters you require concealment patterns developed for specific natural environments and for the different types of prey you pursue.

In 2009 WL Gore introduced GORE® OPTIFADE® Concealment’s Open Country pattern, optimized for backcountry hunters of elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and other ungulates.
GORE OptiFade Camo & the Science of Nothing Now Gore scientists have developed GORE® OPTIFADE® Concealment’s Forest pattern, which is configured for tree stand hunters who operate in wooded environments, pursuing big game from elevated angles at close engagement ranges.

AMMOLAND.COM SHOOTING SPORTS NEWS The world of the tree stand hunter is defined by stark contrasts—bright sky, dark leaves and branches—and by the vertical lines of trees. These lines make it easier for whitetail deer and other ungulate prey to detect the hunter’s presence: even if he is wearing mimicry camo, he “blobs out” with every movement. In collaboration with the experts in concealment and animal vision who helped develop OPTIFADE® technology, Gore manipulated the macro and micro patterns to meet the specific requirements of wooded environments.

Team SIG Captain Max Michel Breaks Records with Eighth USPSA Area Title Win for 2010
Michigan --(Ammoland.com)- The Natural Resources Commission approved a couple of changes to spring turkey regulations designed to offer more opportunity to more hunters while still providing a highquality hunting experience. A total of 114,290 licenses (49,290 general licenses and 65,000 privateland-only licenses) will be available. Approximately 56,433 square miles of Michigan will be open to turkey hunters in the 2011 spring season. In the Upper Peninsula, Hunt Unit M now incorporates the entire U.P., including Bois Blanc Island, which was previously in Hunt Unit J. “This change has strong public support and will provide increased flexibility for Upper Peninsula hunters,” said DNRE wild turkey program leader Al Stewart. In addition, hunters who opt for the guaranteed hunt (Hunt 234) – which allows turkey hunting everywhere in the state except the public lands of southern Michigan – will be able to purchase that license until May 1, the day before the hunt period begins. Previously, hunters who wanted the guaranteed hunt had to purchase their licenses during the application period, Jan. 1-Feb. 1.
World champion shooter Max Michel
“We believe this change will allow folks who let the deadline slip their minds during the application period the opportunity to take advantage of the late hunt,” Stewart said. SIG SAUER

state has a bear population problem—according to the latest Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll.
statewide was conducted by telephone, including both landlines and cell phones, from Oct. 4 through Oct. 10, 2010. At random, half of respondents (423) were asked one version of the question about approving or disapproving of bear hunting and half (408) were asked another version. The margin of error for each group is plus or minus five percentage points.
The poll asked voters if they’d approve of the bear hunt “if wildlife scientists conclude that bears are exceeding their recommended habitat limits and are destroying private property.” It found 53 percent of those agreed, 36 percent disagreed, and 11 percent were unsure.
What do you think about the bear hunt? Tell us in the comments. In the Passaic and Bergen counties, citizens expressed support for the hunt under that condition, with 44 percent affirming and 37 percent in disagreement; eighteen percent were unsure.
Anthony P. Mauro, Sr. Chairman, New Jersey Outdoor Alliance: “We’ve got your back!”
A second version of the question—simply asking voters whether they approve or disapprove of a bear-hunting season, but without mentioning the opinion of wildlife experts—showed slightly less support for the hunt, but more approved than disapproved. FDU reports 49 percent approved, and 33 percent disapproved. And far more people, 18 percent, were unsure whether they’d approve.

Bergen and Passaic residents supported it by a small margin under that scenario — 43 percent approving of the bear hunt and 41 percent disapproving; eleven percent of voters were unsure of their positions. “Bear hunting is just not something people think about every day in the most densely populated state in the country,” said Peter Woolley, a political scientist and director of the poll. “Many people will decide their views based on whether they think it is a necessity rather than recreation.”

The 2010 black bear hunting season is Dec. 6 to 11. Any participant must complete a bear training seminar and possess a permit for one of the state’s four bear hunting zones, all north of Route 78 and west of Route 287; no hunter can receive a permit for more than one zone. Each hunter has a bag limit of one black bear. More information is available from the state Department of Environmental Protection.
