Hunters can venture into frigid climates knowing their hands will stay warm and nimble with G-Tech’s new Stealth x Realtree 3.0 Hand Warmer Bag. G Technology. This new updated model features 3M polyester fill heat capture material and a waterproof zipper, as well as an improved battery and charger, for superior performance when temperatures drop.

Jesse Galvon, Co-Founder of G-Tech Apparel, said, “We partnered with Realtree five years ago to create a camo style cooler bag because a large number of our customers were asking for a hunting and fishing style bag. We started with just one SKU, which was our Sport Black Cooler Bag and it could be used for hunting, but it wasn’t ideal for that customer base. Realtree recommended three of their top patterns, which were the MAX-5, EDGE, and Timber. Since its launch, our Realtree Stealth 3.0 Cooler Bag has been one of our best-selling categories. We are excited to start working on some new Realtree products, including heated hoodies and vests, which we plan to launch in the fall of 2023.”

G-Tech Apparel, a high-tech apparel company specializing in thermal clothing, developed and patented its heat technology that delivers the fastest, hottest, most concentrated heat on the market right to your hands. G-Tech was originally created to help professional athletes perform at their best despite cold weather. Today, professional athletes around the world depend on G-Tech hand warmer muffs. And now hunters trust G-Tech Realtree hand warmers to keep their hands warm and fingers nimble, so when the moment of truth arrives, they’re ready to shoot.

Unlike other products that only heat the bag, G-Tech’s patented thermal grip helps your hands feel better instantly. And the rechargeable battery protects your hands from the cold for up to 12 hours.

The Realtree Hand Warmer was specifically designed for hunters to replace disposable gloves and hand warmers. Enhanced with Realtree camo and a fourth layer of down to increase durability and heat retention inside the bag. It was given the name “Stealth” because a flap disguises the LED heat indicator to provide the concealment hunters need.

Currently offered in Realtree MAX-5, Timber, and EDGE camo patterns, the handwarmer features pouches made from a 600 Denier polyester outer fabric treated with a water-repellent coating and PVC backing. A soft fleece lining helps capture heat while battling the harshest conditions so the hunter can stay outdoors longer, increasing their chances of success.

Tribal fish and wildlife leaders visit DC to urge Congress to invest in tribal conservation through passage of America’s Wildlife Recovery Act

Leaders in tribal fish and wildlife management visited the Capitol last week to meet with Congress about the importance of the US Wildlife Recovery Act to Tribal Nations. If passed, the bipartisan bill will provide $97.5 million to tribes and $1.3 billion to states and territories each year for on-the-ground conservation.

The Recovery of America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA) was developed in response to findings that 12,000 species in the United States are considered “in greatest need of conservation.” By allocating funds to conservation projects on the ground, this landmark bill aims to proactively prevent species from becoming endangered. RAWA is monumental legislation for another reason as well, it would provide the first dedicated annual funding to support tribal fish and wildlife conservation.

“We were never included,” said Gloria Tom, director of the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife, “until now.”

Tribes have fought for decades to be included in major conservation funds, but have been left out of programs like the Federal Aid for Wildlife Restoration and Sport Fish Restoration Acts. This tribal delegation continues to advocate for funding equity by asking Congress to prioritize passage of RAWA this year.

Demonstrated management success despite challenges
Tribes manage or influence the management of nearly 140 million acres of land and water that are home to more than 500 threatened or endangered species. And the tribes manage these lands successfully. According to the Native Land Information System, while tribal lands make up 2.6% of the United States, they overlap with 12% of key biological areas.

Repeatedly, the tribes demonstrate successes in managing fish and wildlife. For example, restoration efforts by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and their partners kept the red sickle-fin horse, a culturally important species found only in western North Carolina, off the Endangered Species List. extinction.

Despite their achievements, tribal natural resources departments face challenges, many of which stem from a lack of funding.

“Inequities in funding for tribal fish and wildlife programs are probably one of the most obvious but least talked about issues in conservation,” said the executive director of the Los Angeles Fish and Wildlife Society. Native Americans, Julie Thorstenson, PhD.

Without a consistent funding base, tribes often experience staff shortages and high turnover rates. Wisconsin’s Menominee Indian Tribe has the largest reservation east of the Mississippi River at 235,000 acres, but for 32 years, Don Reiter has been the tribe’s only wildlife biologist. While the Tribe has done outstanding work, including managing black bears for 30 years, Reiter says, “We are being asked to do more with less.”

Lack of funding can also affect a tribe’s ability to collaborate with other agencies and across borders. It can be difficult for tribes or states alone to achieve conservation successes like the red sickle horse. However, RAWA is an opportunity to build tribal capacity to hire and retain staff, expand fish and wildlife programs, and build partnerships.

Support for conservation and tribal economies
RAWA will not only protect species of ecological, cultural and economic importance, it is an investment in tribes and local economies. When funds reach Tribes, they can be trusted to support local economies as they purchase supplies and services from local vendors and hire members of the local community at a rate equal to or higher than other organizations.

According to Modoc Nation Director of Development and Resources Ken Sandusky, the Modoc Nation has invested more than $1 million in the past two years in its Homelands Initiative, nearly all of it spent within its traditional Northern California Homelands and the southern Oregon.

Boosting local economies and creating jobs, dollars spent in Indian Country stay in Indian Country, often serving the most underserved communities. RAWA is an investment in tribal conservation, communities and economies.

Time to invest in tribes
Passage of the America’s Wildlife Recovery Act will help tribes in their unique position of leading wildlife conservation efforts with a long history of stewardship, traditional ecological perspectives, and some of the most innovative natural resource programs and successful in the country. Additionally, investments in Indian Country are increased tenfold with innovative conservation management and contributions to local economies.

With only a few weeks left in the legislative session, time is running out. Now is the time to invest in Tribes.

MADISON, Wisconsin. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is pleased to announce that Coldwater Fisheries Research Scientist Dr. Matthew Mitro has been awarded Fishery Biologist of the Year by the Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, MAFWA) at their annual meeting earlier this year.

This award is given to an individual who has demonstrated “unparalleled initiative towards a better understanding of fish and their conservation.” There is no better way to describe Dr. Mitro and his extensive 19 years of fisheries research with the DNR. His work focuses on inland trout species and has been essential to many trout projects, including:

• long-term monitoring study of trout and stream habitat
• research on gill lice infecting brook trout
• contributing to trout and beaver management plans
• development of protocols for age estimation in brown trout and brook trout
• modeling changes in stream temperatures and trout distribution in response to climate change

“I have always had a personal interest in trout, as trout was one of the first fish I caught as a child,” said Dr. Mitro. “They are beautiful fish. They have a fascinating life history and are important indicators of broader environmental health.”

Dr. Mitro is currently focusing on a statewide project investigating the influence of beavers on trout populations and stream habitat. He is also evaluating the survival and reproductive fitness of different strains of brook trout stocked in streams, and temporal trends in trout, temperature, and stream flow.

Dr. Mitro is a member of the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI) Fisheries Task Force and was instrumental in the first WICCI assessment, with trout at the forefront. He also served as co-chairman of the group. Dr. Mitro is heavily involved with Trout Unlimited and the Fishers and Farmers Fish Habitat Partnership. He also serves as the Wild Trout Symposium Officer and participates in the annual Area Driftless Symposium.

More information on Dr. Mitro’s current trout projects can be found on the DNR Fisheries Research web page.

Exceptional trophy chart stands for every tournament angler

As a tournament angler, it is very important to have reliable gear and equipment on and off the water. He spends a lot of time preparing, traveling, and practicing for a tournament. It is very inconvenient to have a problem when performing any of these measures or even in the middle of a tournament. Graphic montages are one of the main things to check before heading off for a tournament. Graphic mounts can be overlooked and because of that, anglers will either lose a $2,000 unit or not have a working mount for tournament day. Whether it’s riding down the road to a tournament or rolling across the lake at 70mph to get to first place, a broken chart support can quickly lead to a bad day on the water.

I’m on the Carson-Newman University fishing team and we always travel to tournaments across the country. It is crucial to have chart montages that you can rely on in all circumstances. Trophy Graph Systems of Springfield, MO manufactures a wide variety of high-quality rigs that can be customized to fit any angler’s boat or needs. From single to triple bow or dash graph mounts, Trophy Graph Systems has it all. Some boats may have a built-in trolling foot pedal and some may not. Trophy Graph Systems has options for low graph brackets for recessed pedals that still provide enough clearance to operate the pedal. There’s also an option for tall graphics brackets that help provide clearance if it’s an exposed, standalone pedal. No matter the situation, Trophy Graph Systems always has a solution.

Not all low jackpots are designed the same and the sizes of the graphics may vary. Take some measurements and communicate them to the experts at Trophy Graph Systems; It won’t be long until the exact mount you need is waiting for you on your front porch. Installing a Trophy Graph Systems mount is a very simple process and does not take much time. The bracket provides holes on each side that correspond to the given dimensions for placing screws or bolts to anchor the bracket. It’s just a matter of finding the right bit, pre-drilling the holes, and then fixing it in place with screws or bolts. Depending on the lengths of the graphics to be mounted, there will be another set of holes that will allow the gimbal of the graphic to fit snugly. On the brackets, there is a hole in the middle of the board on the bracket that allows wires and cables to go through and connect to the graphics in an organized way. Everything will be clean and organized, both in and out of the water.

Trophy Graph Systems puts its customers first and they are always there to help in any way possible and answer any questions. If a mount is needed before a certain time, even if it is four days before a tournament, Trophy Graph Systems will do everything possible to accommodate their customers’ needs.

The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) announced today that it has hired a Habitat Partnership Coordinator and a Regional Director to focus on the Dakota Grasslands region. Casey Nordine was hired in October to serve as the regional director who will coordinate chapter activities and fundraising in South Dakota and Nebraska. In early November, Brennen Borah joined the MDF staff to serve as a habitat partnership coordinator working with state and federal agencies and private landowners to restore habitat for mule deer, grouse, pronghorn and other wildlife in the area. of the Dakota Grasslands project. Along with North Dakota Regional Director Sara Wagner, Wyoming Regional Director Shawn Blajszczak, and Montana Regional Director Chris Fortune, the Dakota staff will lead a focused effort to implement projects in the eastern mule deer range. , which is dominated by private land with mixtures of federal land and state land. Efforts began today with a volunteer project to remove old fences or convert them to wildlife-friendly designs in the US Forest Service’s McKenzie Ranger District in western North Dakota.

The project completed yesterday in the Little Missouri National Grassland was an effort to remove fences that were a barrier to wildlife movement and replace them with wildlife-friendly fencing. This was a “boots on the ground” project in partnership with the US Forest Service (USFS) by MDF volunteers and the North Dakota Petroleum Board. Material costs were shared by MDF and USFS, and equipment and labor were provided by MDF employees and industry partners with MAP Mechanical, ONEOK, Rossco Crane, TC Energy, and Terracon; Weatherford provided lunch for the volunteers. The project serves as an example of the opportunities that MDF and its partners will pursue through Dakota Grasslands habitat conservation efforts.

“The Mule Deer Foundation has increased its role in North Dakota over the past five years with volunteer and industrial projects on private land that benefit mule deer and many other wildlife species,” said Steve Belinda, director of conservation for the Mule Deer Foundation. MDF. “The addition of Brennen and Casey to our team in the Dakota grasslands region will create a significant new opportunity for us to make a difference in the grasslands where mule deer live.”

The Dakota grasslands are a key focal area for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s (NFWF) Northern Great Plains program and consist of grassland and sagebrush dominated habitats that are highly productive for pronghorn, mule deer , capercaillie and many other grassland and sagebrush obligate species. State and federal agency partners have highlighted the need for interagency coordination and planning among partners for cumulative efforts to occur in the region. MDF received a grant from NFWF in the summer of 2022 to hire a Dakota Grasslands Habitat Partnership Coordinator to focus on Western North Dakota, Eastern Montana, Northwestern South Dakota, and Northeast Wyoming. In this position, Borah will provide a critical new capability to network with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), USFS, North Dakota Game and Fish, South Dakota Game Fish and Parks, Fish, Wildlife and Montana Parks and Wyoming Game. and Department of Fisheries, as well as industry and conservation partners to implement landscape-scale habitat conservation in the region.

Brennen is a South Dakota native with a passion for wildlife and habitat management. He graduated from South Dakota State University with a BS in Fisheries and Wildlife Science and spent 10 years managing habitats on public and private lands at South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks. It will be based in Spearfish, SD, in the far north of the Black Hills. Borah will work with federal, state, and private landowners on transboundary projects that improve the critical mixed-grass prairie ecosystem found in the project area, particularly removing encroaching conifers, fence modifications, riparian restoration, grazing plans , and more.

“I am excited to be stationed in my home state and working within the Dakota Grasslands region to support habitat restoration efforts,” Borah said. “MDF now has project funding, dedicated staff and a growing network of volunteers that will allow us to significantly increase the amount of work we will be able to do in the coming years.”

Casey Nordine is the new regional director focused on South Dakota and western Nebraska, an area where MDF has not had a dedicated field staff. He will focus on coordinating fundraising events, building chapters, and engaging volunteers who can support conservation efforts in their states. Casey grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota and has been hunting and fishing for over 20 years and loves to hunt mule deer across the rolling foothills of the Great Plains. He spent 8 years running a new microbrewery, performing many roles including facilitating large festivals and fundraisers. He currently serves on the board of directors of the wild foods-focused organization Harvesting Nature, where he helps run field-to-fork hunting camps that focus on teaching the skills necessary to hunt, butcher, process and cook their own wild meat.

“Having a full team of staff focused on the Dakota Grasslands opens up a tremendous opportunity for MDF chapter conservation and development,” said Marshall Johnson, Director of Field Operations for the organization. “We all met with our partner agencies in Deadwood recently and today we completed this fencing project in the Little Missouri National Grassland. I know all of our partners are excited to get started on more projects that we can implement together.”

Katrina Demerle, 17, of Hamilton, Ohio, earned the #1 Distinguished Air Rifle Badge from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).

The latest addition to CMP’s Distinguished Badge Program was introduced in early 2022. The Distinguished Badge Program rewards shooters who produce consistent scores at qualifying events where they can earn the Excellence in Competition (EIC) points needed to receive a badge. It is a prominent honor in the marksmanship community and is now available in a variety of adult and youth disciplines, such as the Inside 60 Shot Air Rifle.

“When I found out, I knew I wanted to earn that badge,” Demerle said confidently.

He earned his initial Air Rifle EIC points in January and his final points in September. The first to achieve at least 30 points in the new Air Rifle category, she received an engraved #1 Badge and a place in the history books.

“I wasn’t really focused on getting Badge #1, I just wanted to earn the badge at some point,” she admitted. “But I feel very honored to have achieved Badge #1.”

Demerle’s first experience in marksmanship was when her father, Butch, helped her use his rifle at his friend’s house when she was just six years old. Shortly after her, Butch enrolled her in a local junior small-bore program, which eventually led her into the air rifle as well.

He has been competing for the past seven years and currently uses a Pardini BB and Feinwerkbau 2700 small bore and practices two to three times a week. She tries to compete in three or more matches a month, including CMP’s monthly air pistol matches, where she has won several awards. Typical scores for her are around 596 in air rifle and over 580 in small bore.

Demerle has been a member of the US Junior National Shooting Team for international and three-position air rifle. Throughout his career, he has amassed multiple national records, currently holding over 10. He has competed in over 400 matches and has amassed multiple championship titles, including within WCC competitions and other matches.

In 2021 alone, she earned silver at the Junior Olympic Games in Women’s Air Rifle, the overall title at the CMP/Junior Olympic National Three Positions Championship, gold at the El Salvador Junior Grand Prix, leading international Air Rifle athlete in the Anschutz Open and finished 33^rd in Women’s Air at the Junior World Championship in Lima, Peru, among other recognitions.

Her talents have also led her to become the CMP Gary Anderson Invitational Three-position Air Rifle Champion for the past four consecutive years, as well as a five-time Ohio Junior Olympic Women’s Champion in Air Rifle and Small Bore. She had previously earned a Junior Distinguished Badge #1201 in Three Position Air Rifle in 2017.

In the future, he would like to compete on an NCAA rifle team and hopefully help lead its members to a national championship.

“I am looking forward to working with a college coach who can help me improve my shooting skills to become the best shooter I can be,” she said.

About the Distinguished Badges Program:

To earn a Distinguished Badge, a competitor must earn 30 or more Excellence in Competition (EIC) points or more in a qualifying competition. Individuals earn the 6, 8, or 10 “stage” points based on score and a percentage of participation in the match, with at least one “hard” stage, worth either 8 or 10 points. Currently, the CMP administers Distinguished Badges for:

• service rifle
• service pistol
• .22 Rimfire Pistol
• junior air rifle
• international shooter
• Small Bore Rifle (3P and Prone)
• Distinguished Marksman Badge
• Distinguished air rifle and air pistol
• service revolver

Those interested in learning more about the Distinguished Badge Program or how to earn one (or more!), can find more information on the CMP website at https://thecmp.org/competitions/distinguishedbadges/.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a federally chartered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It is dedicated to firearms safety and marksmanship training and the promotion of marksmanship competition for United States citizens. To learn more about the CMP and its programs, log on to www.TheCMP.org.
