The CZ USA P-09 F Nocturne comes to U.S. shores as an optic-ready duty pistol sporting a polymer grip frame.…

House Bill 1095, known as the “Municipal Carry Act,” is set to head to Governor Kevin Stitt’s desk after passing the Senate with a notable 39-8 vote.

On May 9, 1904, the steam locomotive City of Truro (pictured) became the first steam engine to exceed 100 mph. From the InfoGalactic Wiki:  “…a British 4-4-0 steam locomotive built in 1903 for the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Swindon Works to a design by George Jackson Churchward. City of Truro was timed at 8.8 seconds between two quarter-mile posts whilst hauling the “Ocean Mails” special from Plymouth to London Paddington on 9 May 1904.

California researchers are actively seeking public assistance to locate the rare harlequin duck, a distinctive waterfowl seldom seen in the Sierra Nevada. Historically known to winter in Northern California’s high country, this duck species has seen very few reported sightings, with a 2008 study estimating only about 10 individuals in the region at that time. The University of California, Davis, has launched a new initiative to build upon the scant knowledge of the harlequin duck’s presence and nesting habits in the Sierra. Bird enthusiasts are already buzzing at recent sightings along the Northern and Central California coasts, which have reignited…

Wild turkey populations across various states, including Ohio, reveal alarming declines, prompting wildlife agencies to re-evaluate hunting regulations. While harvest reports indicate a decrease in turkey hunters and a significant drop in the number of turkeys harvested in recent years—approximately 31% from 2013 to 2019—concerns about the legality of hunting hens in the fall have reignited heated discussions among both hunters and conservationists. Biologists state that maintaining egg-laying hens is crucial for stabilizing turkey populations, yet only two states, Alabama and Tennessee, prohibit hen harvest during the fall season. Experts like Dr. Mike Chamberlain emphasize that removing hens from the…
