Hawk Optics has recently added a new spotting scope to its lineup. Called the Nature Trek, this 9X-27X-56mm spotter is designed for packing in on long, backcountry hunts where weight can be a factor. Weighing in at a mere 20.3 ounces and just 7.6-inches long, the Nature Trek utilizes fully multi-coated lenses with a BAK-4 Porro Prism to give better contrast and color transmission. The field of view is 234-108 feet at 1000 yards, with a dual-focus knob to fine-tune the image. For closer scenarios, the scope also has a close-focus for detail as near as 8.2-feet away. Further, it is digi-scope compatible, meaning it can be used as a zoom lens for your camera.

On the durability front, the Nature Trek is nitrogen purged, for water- and fog-proofing.There is also a stay-on lens cover, slide-out sun shade and a twist-up eye cup. For more information on this lightweight optic, which comes with a No-Fault Lifetime Warranty, please visit hawkeoptics.comMSRP: $219

Alligator Hunting Opportunities Are Expanding

This year, both Florida and Louisiana are expanding or introducing new opportunities for alligator hunts. For decades, Florida has estimated that there are over one million in the state—it is, of course, hard to count alligators. Louisiana now says its alligator population exceeds three million. The two states have managed their alligator populations very differently over the last half century, but now both are expanding hunting opportunities to help manage alligator populations.
