ALPS Outdoors has announced the latest version of its Deception Ground Blind, now in Mossy Oak Bottomland—a long-time favorite of turkey hunters everywhere. The Deception boasts a low 46-inch profile, a light weight, small footprint and four-hub design, all combining for an easy and quiet setup. The aluminum hubs are constructed with engineered tips and pins, while the frame uses strong, flexible fiberglass poles. For fabric, a durable polyester is utilized, with blacked-out backing for extra concealment. Easy access and a wide field-of-view are achieved with a 270-degree SILENT-Trac window system, and an extra-large door with an oversized number-10 zipper. Finally, two interior pockets keep gear accessible and organized, while a shoulder-strap carry bag eases transportation. For more information on this portable ground blind, visit alpsbrands.com.

National Hunting and Fishing Day, which is observed on the fourth Saturday of September each year (September 26 this year), is a day we should know one thing about: Hunters are America’s original conservationists.
This year’s standout hunting firearms reveal an industry focused on refining proven ideas. Manufacturers are increasingly embracing features once reserved for premium models and including extras that a few years ago were considered aftermarket additions. Whether you’re chasing game close to home or venturing deep into the backcountry, today’s new hunting guns arrive more capable than ever before.
The Department of the Interior recently announced the largest expansion of hunting and sport fishing opportunities in the history of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Service is also making more than 1,000 modifications to existing regulatory provisions, reducing complexity and making it easier for hunters and anglers to understand and comply with applicable rules.
