Arctic Cat, which was acquired last month by Textron Inc., will soon see its brand name changed to "Textron Off Road" in regards to side-by-sides and ATVs, per an announcement Textron made earlier this week at a select gathering of employees and dealer in Fort Worth, Texas.

Textron Inc. has announced that it has completed the acquisition of Arctic Cat Inc. by means of a short-form merger under Minnesota law. As a result, Arctic Cat has become an indirect wholly owed subsidiary of Textron.

Arizona hunters may no longer be able to take mountain lions or bobcats, as SB 1182, a bill drafted by Arizona State Sen. Steve Farley (D-Tucson), seeks to end the hunting of the big cats.
