Just in time for duck season, Mojo Outdoors has begun shipping its Elite Series Green and Blue Wing Teal. Remote ready via Mojo's USB Multi-Decoy Remote Kit, the decoys are fully plug-and-play. Despite this ease of use, the series still features all working components in a solid, structural housing that is rigidly attached to the support pole, and includes a flexible decoy body. A realistic paint scheme presents finer detail and holds its color, while magnetically attached wings cut down significantly on noise and friction, increasing battery life (4 AAs). For more information on these now-available decoys, please visit mojooutdoors.com. MSRP: $79.99

I am heartened by this year’s entries. In addition to fabulous photographs, almost all of you delivered exceptional narratives of your hunts. We used your very words wherever possible because it’s an honor to see you all rise to such an occasion as sharing a special moment with your fellow hunters. You now know a little bit about what drives an outdoor writer. —J. Scott Olmsted, Editor in Chief
On July 17 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) published a proposed rulemaking change on the Federal Register that, if approved, would allow western states to better manage their grizzly bear population. Despite their burgeoning population the big bruins remain on the “endangered” list under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), a fact that has paralyzed regional conservation efforts, impacted other wildlife populations and dramatically increased human/bear conflicts.
ALPS Mountaineering has released its Micro Air portable air pump. Compact and convenient, this pump packs a punch of inflation and is small enough to be hooked to a keychain without sticking out. This air pump delivers plenty of power without worrying about a battery going dead because it is connected to an external power bank.
