Hunter Heritage Foundation & ADWA Set for 3rd Annual Pigapalooza Youth Hunt

American Deer & Wildlife Alliance

AUSTIN, Texas --(Ammoland.com)- Working in conjunction with the American Deer & Wildlife Alliance (ADWA), the Hunter Heritage Foundation is inviting young sportsmen (ages 8 to 15) to attend the 3rd Annual Pigapalooza Youth Hog Hunt.

The event will be held on Saturday, March 26, 2011, at DB Hunting Ranch in Bertram, Texas, and will provide an afternoon of fun outdoor activities, a pork sandwich lunch and an evening hog hunt.

“Affordability and accessibility are major obstacles for getting our youth involved in hunting today, and our annual Pigapalooza Youth Hunt offers a great opportunity for kids to get outdoors, learn a little about wildlife and enjoy the thrill of hunting with a group of their peers,” says ADWA President John Meng.

“We’re very excited to provide this experience to young sportsmen who might not otherwise have the opportunity.”

The Hunter Heritage Foundation is a 501(3)c charitable organization dedicated to educating children on wildlife and conservation issues and increasing youth participation within hunting traditions. As part of its mission, HHF holds numerous camps and educational clinics during the year and produces SPIKES Magazine, a quarterly youth publication distributed to summer camps, industry events across the country and public libraries across the country.

The American Deer & Wildlife Alliance is a non-profit organization working to promote the deer and wildlife industry and to preserve our American outdoor traditions. As a part of its public education efforts, ADWA produces Points Journal, a full-color magazine covering industry news, wildlife management issues, products and services; and www.iHuntAmerica.com website, a comprehensive search engine for hunting ranches, game preserves and outfitters. ADWA also sponsors Keith Warren’s Deer & Wildlife Stories, a nationally broadcast television program on the Pursuit Channel, and the Outdoor Patriot (www.OutdoorPatriot.com), a monthly podcast which features lively commentary and industry guests.

Cost is only $50 for one non-trophy class hog per youth hunter. Space is limited. Youth must be accompanied by parent or guardian with a valid Texas hunting license. Call ADWA to reserve space today at 877.331.8607.

Silvio Calabi’s Namibia Journal: A Breakthrough Safari Experience with New Online Magazine Rifles International

Rifles International to Host Silvio Calabi’s Namibia Online Journal

Rifles International

Pikesville, Maryland --(Ammoland.com)- Rifles International, the first online magazine dedicated to fine rifles and the adventures they inspire, announces a leap forward in African safari reporting with a compelling, original series by well-known writer Silvio Calabi.

Located on the Internet at www.riflesinternational.com, Rifles International will publish a three-week succession of Silvio’s reports from Namibia, March 16 – April 6, 2011, about his extended safari where he will hunt plains game such as oryx, kudu and eland.

Silvio’s series is part of the Rifles International beta-test program prior to its official launch, as a means of demonstrating the effectiveness to advertisers of reaching a highly desirable demographic with an online magazine that has attracted some of the best writers in the industry.

In Nambia, Silvio will evaluate Krieghoff’s unique Semprio inline repeating rifle. His photos and stories will transport readers into camp with Professional Hunters, trackers and other staff. Silvio will update his communiqués three to four times each week on www.riflesinternational.com

Silvio was a publishing executive for more than 25 years and has been editor-in-chief of both Shooting Sportsman and Fly Rod & Reel magazines (and is now an editor-at-large for both). He is a Knight of the International Order of St. Hubertus, a member of Safari Club International and the Namibian Professional Hunting Association, and a director of the California Side By Side Society. With Roger Sanger and Steve Helsley, he wrote the acclaimed book Hemingway’s Guns; the three also co-produced the Gold Medal Concours d’Elegance of Fine Guns. From his home on the Maine coast, he travels and writes widely, and creates and hosts high-end hunting adventures in the UK, Europe and southern Africa.

In addition to following Silvio’s day-to-day adventures, readers who join Rifles International’s new Facebook page will stay current through ongoing updates at: www.facebook.com/pages/Rifles-International/188433597854082?v=wall
