Just-Hunt a Blog

Jan. 9, 2012, Columbus, OH – The Fred Bear Archery and Bowhunting Communicator Award, created by the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) in 2005, recognizes outdoor journalists who make significant contributions to the sports of archery and bowhunting, excel at their journalistic craft, and mentor up-and-coming outdoor journalists.
 
Although the award is presented to active journalists, a special exception was made this year. The late Bill Krenz, founder of Zebra Publishing, whose untimely passing on Dec. 13, 2010 shocked the industry, was named the 2012 honoree.
 
The award was presented by POMA and the Archery Trade Association during the OutTech event the night before the ATA Show in Columbus, Ohio. Krenz’s wife, Sherry, accepted the award. POMA President Kevin Tate and ATA CEO Jay McAninch spoke of Krenz’s impact on the industry and the many lives he touched.

“Some awards honor the people who receive them, but in this case, it’s POMA’s honor to be associated with Bill,” said Tate. “The people who drive the archery industry, people who dedicate their minds to their business and their hearts to the outdoors, who combine their lives with their livelihood and pour everything they have into a cause they love, those people give to life far more than they could ever receive, and far more to our industry than we could ever return.”
 
For nearly four decades, Krenz was an energetic defender and communicator of all that is right about archery and bowhunting. Businessman, writer, speaker, video and television personality and grassroots bowhunter and archer, Krenz demonstrated an unwavering vision and commitment to promoting archery and bowhunting worldwide.
 
His career included 20 years in the archery industry with PSE, Hoyt and Bear, and a lifetime as a journalist and communicator, sharing the excitement and the passion found in our world’s wild places.
 
He and Sherry founded Zebra Publishing in 1998 and launched “Inside Archery,” a title that quickly became the industry’s number one trade magazine. The launch of “Bowhunt America” magazine a short time later balanced the “Inside Archery” offering with a consumer title that has become well respected in the marketplace. Both publications continue their mission today.
 
“Bill was not only an outstanding outdoor writer and editor, he was also a passionate participant in the sports of archery and Bowhunting,” McAninch said. “He was committed to portraying bowhunting in a respectful, ethical manner. Bill also was a strong advocate of the archery industry and worked to support the success of all the companies with whom he worked.”
 
Nominations for the Fred Bear Award are accepted from all archery industry journalists and professionals. Nominations may be made on the POMA website.

MISSOULA, Mont.–Grunting and squealing, growling and screaming, America’s best elk callers are headed to Las Vegas to vie for a world title.

The 2012 RMEF/Leupold World Elk Calling Championships will be held as part of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) convention and International Sportsmen’s Exposition, Feb. 2-4, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The raucous event is open to the public.

Elk are the most vocal species of North American deer. The signature call is a “bugle,” a loud, high-pitched whistle or scream used during mating season by bulls trying to attract cows and advertise their dominance to other bulls. Bulls also grunt at cows straying from their harem. Cows bark to warn of danger, mew to keep track of each other and whine to signal distress. Calves bleat when they are lost.

Mimicking these sounds has been a competitive sport for almost 25 years, but 2012 will be the RMEF/Leupold World Elk Calling Championships’ first time in Las Vegas.

“This event is always a spectacle,” said David Allen, president and CEO of RMEF, a conservation organization focused on conserving and stewarding elk habitat. “It’s been featured by The New York Times and CBS Sunday Morning, and now we’re pleased to introduce this competition to a city that appreciates spectacles like no one else.”

“If a bull elk shows up and rips the doors off the Las Vegas Convention Center, at least you’ll know why,” he joked.

Competition is held in six divisions: professional, men’s, women’s, natural voice, youth (age 11-17) and pee-wee (age 10 and under). Amateur-level callers have 30 seconds to make general cow elk sounds, followed by bull sounds. Professionals are required to make specific calls such as bugles and barks. Most callers blow across a latex reed placed inside the mouth. In the natural voice division, however, no reeds are allowed. A variety of plastic tubes are used like megaphones, giving the sounds realistic resonance.

Judges–biologists, naturalists and hunters–score each competitor anonymously.

Prizes and cash ranging from $500 to $2,500 will be awarded for first- through third-place in all six divisions.

Prize sponsors include Leupold, Block Fusion, Cabela’s, Horn Hunter Packs, Hoyt, Kershaw Knives, Montana Decoy, Montana Silversmiths, New Archery Products (NAP), Remington, Schnee’s and Traditions Performance Firearms.

Defending world champions: Professional Division–Corey Jacobsen, Boise, Idaho; Men’s Division–Dirk Durham, Moscow, Idaho; Women’s Division–Misty Jacobsen, Priest River, Idaho; Natural Voice Division–Michael Hatten, Elko, Nev.; Youth Division–Greg Hubbell Jr., Belmont, Calif.; Pee-Wee Division–Colton Crawford, McMinnville, Ore.

To compete in the 2012 RMEF/Leupold World Elk Calling Championships, see complete rules, registration info and entry fees posted at www.rmef.org.

Preliminary rounds of competition begin Fri., Feb. 3, at 10:00 a.m. Finals begin Sat., Feb. 4, at 9:00 a.m., followed by awards and crowning of new world champions.

Spectator seating is included with daily admission to the RMEF convention and expo: $12 per person, free for youth 15 and under, and free for active military with military ID.

The expo includes attractions, displays and activities for the whole family, plus 385 exhibiting companies in booths filled with outfitted hunting and fishing opportunities, art, gear, firearms and everything elk and outdoors. Hourly seminars led by authorities detail hunting strategies, destinations and gear; urban and wilderness survival; fishing; and travel nearby and around the world. Cabela’s will sponsor game-calling clinics. International Sportsmen’s Expositions, which produces America’s premier hunting, fishing and travel shows, is managing the exhibit hall and expo. Expo hours: Thurs., Feb. 2, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Fri., Feb. 3, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 4, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The convention, expo and RMEF/Leupold World Elk Calling Championships help raise awareness and funding for conservation. In 2011, RMEF passed the 6 million acre-mark in habitat conserved or enhanced for elk and other wildlife. In Nevada alone, RMEF has completed 190 different conservation projects affecting 275,870 acres.

MISSOULA, Mont.–In the Idaho panhandle, on the south face of the Cabinet Mountains overlooking Lake Pend Oreille, 921 acres of elk and moose wintering range have been permanently secured for wildlife habitat and public access in a land-exchange deal finalized Dec. 22.

The swap between Stimson Lumber Co. and the Idaho Panhandle National Forests was made possible in part by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

Formerly owned by Stimson Lumber, the 921 acres are now part of the adjoining Idaho Panhandle National Forests. In exchange, Stimson received a similar amount of U.S. Forest Service acreage in the form of small isolated tracts that are not connected to the main body of the national forest.

All of the lands involved are in Bonner County, Idaho.

RMEF staff helped broker the deal and RMEF volunteers in Idaho raised money to help cover project costs.

“This project is good for elk, moose, deer and other wildlife because it protects habitat in a scenic area that’s disappearing beneath summer-home developments. Plus, larger contiguous public lands are more easily managed for elk than small, isolated tracts,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. “We would like to thank the Bonner County Sportsmen’s Association and Litehouse Foods for their financial assistance with this project. We would especially like to thank Stimson Lumber for their patience through a long process.”

The project, originally dubbed the Rising Cougar Land Exchange, then renamed as the Hope-Sagle Land Exchange, took 10 years to complete.

The newly acquired public lands provide an ideal location for developing a new access point into the existing Idaho Panhandle National Forests trail system.

“This exchange provides excellent benefits to wildlife and recreation in north Idaho. We are thankful for the support of the partners to this transaction, especially RMEF and Bonner County Sportsmen, and the local communities who helped make this happen,” said Idaho Panhandle National Forests Supervisor Mary Farnsworth.

“This exchange benefits wildlife, the land and generations of people in northern Idaho.  Our company has been patient over the past 10 years to complete this exchange. Doing the ‘right thing’ just took a while to complete,” said Stimson Vice President Ray Jones.

Dead Down Wind proudly participated in the 7th Annual SCI Low Country Chapter Wounded Warrior and WheelchairHunt at Nemours Plantation in South Carolina held on Oct. 24-25, 2011.

Four Dead Down Wind pro staffers worked as volunteers during the hunt. Gus Congemi, host of Live the Wild Life, and co-host Ernie Wojtysiak were on hand to film the hunt for theTV show and distribute Dead Down Wind gift bags to the hunters. Congemi said each gift bag contained numerous scent-prevention products to aid in the hunters’ success.

 
“Attending this hunt was important  to my  pro staff and me,” Congemi, says.  “Pro staffer Mike Gilbert is a retired Army 1st SGT. Pro staffer Mike Leavitt’s father is retired military, and my daughter is a West Point graduate actively serving as a Captain in the Army. These ties to the military made us feel strongly about giving any support we could to this event and our troops.  We wanted to give something back to those who serve our country.”

Fifty hunters, including 30 Wounded Warriors, 10 adult disabled hunters and 10 sick or injured youngsters participated in the hunt, and more than 200 volunteers lended a hand. Hunters took 14 deer and two hogs during the two-day hunt.

” Support for the organization allows it to expand its Disabled Hunter programs and inspire other groups and organizations to get involved in offering similar outdoor activities for the benefit of wounded warriors, sick youngsters and disabled adults,” Mark Peterson, SCI Low Country Chapter Disabled Hunter & Wounded Warrior program coordinator, says. “Every year hunters have inspirational stories of courage, perseverance and faith to share. They are stories that deserve to be told, especially the stories of service and sacrifice by the Wounded Warriors.”

Starving Blood Suckers One Bowhunter at a Time!

By Kevin Reese

As Published on Bowhunting.net

As an avid hog hunter, I spend a lot of time in areas where water is fairly prevalent; marshes, creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds, are all important attributes to hog habitat because of a hog’s need for water in terms of survival but also as a resource for creating wallows used to control both insects and body temperature; hogs do not have sweat glands and depend on other ways to cool off. Understanding hog habitat and my obsession with hunting them one might note that because I am hunting “wet” areas, I face another brutal foe, those pesky mosquitoes!Author with two hogs, zero mosquito bites thanks to ThermaCELL.

Hunting hogs is where my love affair with ThermaCELL truly began. ThermaCELL operates off of a butane, heat plate and chemical pad system. Once ignited, the heat-plate warms up and vapor from the chemical pad is released. This vapor is what mosquitoes and black flies can’t tolerate. As hunters, fishermen, hikers, campers and anyone who spends time outdoors, we are always looking for a tool that keeps us bug free and hunters especially look for products without scent… and without resorting to rolling around in those wallows!Compact, easy to carry and place unit keeps you mosquito free to enjoy your time outdoors.

ThermaCELL’s vapor emits an organic scent. Original ThermaCELL pads are based on a synthetic Chrysanthemum fragrance, something wildlife considers a non-threatening part of their natural environment. ThermaCELL also offers a new scent and my personal favorite, Fresh Earth. Fresh Earth accomplishes the same mission as the original pad but is also a great cover scent!

I can honestly give testimony under oath (and those who know me remember) that in years past I’ve had as many as 400 mosquito bites in a single hour while hunting hogs in my favorite spot near a marsh. But since discovering ThermaCELL in that same stand, I have yet to receive a single bite! Don’t just believe me, believe others. If you hunt in areas steeped in mosquitoes or black flies, chances are good that you already have friends using ThermaCELL units during their outdoor adventures.

Cold feet? Not when you have these in your boots.ThermaCELL offers a complete line of defense against mosquitoes and black flies from individual ThermaCELL units to larger picnic, outdoor and camping ThermaCELL lanterns. ThermaCELL now also offers rechargeable Heated Insoles! Running insole temperatures between 100 – 111 degrees, there is never a season where ThermaCELL shouldn’t be a part of your gear!

Sportsman Channel and Steven Rinella Announce New, Exclusive Original Production

New Berlin, WI – Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor TV for the American Sportsman, has secured a partnership with author, hunter and outdoorsman Steven Rinella, to launch the new original series, MeatEater. The weekly half-hour series is a Sportsman Channel original production with Emmy-winning production studio, Zero Point Zero, and will premiere on January 1, 2012 at 9 pm E/P.

 Growing up in the Midwest’s great outdoors – hunting, fishing and trapping from a young age – Rinella has always viewed the world through the eyes of an ancestral hunter/gatherer. Entranced by early man’s skill, ingenuity and sheer determination to survive and thrive under challenging circumstances, Rinella has made it his life’s work to cultivate those same qualities – and encourage people to recognize it in them. Raising a family and working as a writer in New York City, Rinella is an effective ambassador of the sportsman’s lifestyle to urban and suburban audiences.

Fresh off the success of his series “The Wild Within,” and numerous national magazine articles and two books, Rinella is ready to feed fans’ appetite for tracking prey to create mouth-watering fireside meals. In MeatEater, Rinella will deconstruct and master any hunting technique; track and pursue prey; and procure his own food. Whether tracking black-tail deer in the remote Alaskan wilderness, or rooting out Javelina in Texas, Rinella will defer to his back-country roots, challenging himself at every corner while providing nail biting adventure along the way.

“We are big fans of Steven’s story-telling on TV, in magazines, and in his two terrific books,” said Gavin Harvey, CEO of Sportsman Channel. “He is extraordinarily talented at conveying the emotional and spiritual aspects of what it means to be a hunter, what really drives us to prey on and consume wild game. With the premiere of MeatEater on Sportsman on New Year’s Day, fans of great outdoor TV have another reason to pop the champagne.”

 
“Hunting to me is primarily about the acquisition of food – that is the most important thing to me,” said Steven Rinella, host. “Quite simply, I like to eat wild game. That said, I have a great respect for the trophy element of hunting – I love the emblem of deer antlers and bear skulls. I also have a great respect for the adventure – I love the journeys, the places I get to go, and the people I get to hang out with. But all of that falls under the umbrella of hunting for my own food. Essentially, I am a hunter because I am a MeatEater.”

 
MeatEater will showcase Rinella in his best form – from hunting Black Bear in Alaska to tracking a Mountain Lion in southern Arizona. But Rinella can also bowhunt as he proves when he goes after Javelina in west Texas. Plus, he joins a biologist friend on a riverboat through some of the most untouched wetlands in Alaska for big-time duck hunting.

Each episode will end with Rinella preparing the day’s harvest for a mouth-watering meal. When Rinella chases the elusive Aoudad sheep in Texas, he prepares a North American style clay pot sheep. “When I eat a wild animal that I respect and admire, I feel like I capture some element of that animal and take some of that wildness into myself,” said Rinella. “Without that feeling – essentially tasting the wild – the experience of hunting is incomplete. And if I am going to eat it, I had better give the animal the respect of cooking it properly and with great care.”

 
Steven Rinella is an avid outdoorsman, writer, and television personality best known for his ability to translate the hunting lifestyle to a wide variety of audiences. He is the author of “The Scavenger’s Guide to Haute Cuisine” and the award-winning “American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon.” Rinella’s writing has appeared in such publications as the New York Times, Glamour, Men’s Journal, Outside, New Yorker and more traditional hunting and fishing publications like Field and Stream. He is a columnist for Petersen’s HUNTING, has appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered, CNN’s American Morning and Fox and Friends.
