NRA strongly opposes the nomination of Andrew Traver to head BATFE NRA-ILA Share     The NRA strongly opposes President Obama's nomination of Andrew Traver as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Traver has been deeply aligned with gun control advocates and anti-gun activities. This makes him the wrong choice to lead an enforcement agency that has almost exclusive oversight and control over the firearms industry, its retailers and consumers. Further, an important nomination such as BATFE director should not be made as a "recess appointment," in order to circumvent consent by the American people through their duly elected U.S. Senators.

Jim Benson and Jeff Boushee had spent more than a week on their own hunting moose in the Alaska backcountry, living in tents and eating dried food. Hunting rugged terrain that was mostly devoid of trees, they'd seen about 80 moose, but only a few of the bulls had racks big enough to be legal. Time was running out. More
Pink is the new hunting color WDBJ-TV Share
Now, we know what you are thinking. Treebark, Outfitter Tuff, Realtree, Mossyoak, Woodseye and any other version of camouflage, those are the colors of any good hunter. But if you think pink is not a hunting color, we have to ask, "Where have you been?" Pink is adorning many things in the outdoor world. Camo, bows, fletching, broadheads, muzzleloaders, UTVs and a lot of fishing equipment are all sporting pink these days. More Mountain lion neighbors Palisadian-Post Share
While the mountain lion is not on endangered or threatened lists, its population in Southern California is on the edge of extirpation (becoming extinct in a localized area).
