Erin Conroy, Associated Press
BOSTON— A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan
coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that
showed it survived a similar hunt — more than a century ago.
Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3 1/2-inch arrow-shaped
projectile that has given researchers insight into the whale's age,
estimated between 115 and 130 years old.
"No other finding has been this precise,'' said John Bockstoce,
an adjunct curator of the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

(Minnesota DNR)- The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is reminding boat
operators to follow safety procedures when refueling their boats. The
reminder follows an accident on Friday, June 15, that injured several
people when a boat exploded after refueling at a gas dock on the
Mississippi River in St. Paul.
"Safety procedures should be
followed any time a boat is being fueled to reduce the chance of a fire
or explosion," said Tim Smalley, DNR boating safety specialist. "A cup
of gasoline is said to have the explosive power of a stick of dynamite,
so fueling safely is a must."

observed in the Maryland portion of the Bay since 1972.

MIAMI, FL (The Outdoor Wire)- Year after year, hunters master their
performance and demand more from their equipment. Their determination
and skill have challenged Konus to perfect their line of riflescopes,
making them resistant to the most rugged conditions and the ideal
scopes for any and every hunt. Now Konus, makers of the KonusPro
riflescopes with an engraved reticle system, is calling all hunters to
"bring it on!" The Konus Snap-It Guarantee* encourages hunters to put
Konus riflescopes to the ultimate test and see just how impossible it
is to snap the reticle. If the reticle snaps from recoil, the consumer
will be reimbursed 125%. The Konus Snap-It Guarantee will be supported
with a nationwide advertising and direct marketing campaign.
All KonusPro riflescopes are designed with a glass engraved reticle
system in which the reticle is laser-etched onto precision glass rather
than using a thin wire. This eliminates the chances of breaking or
becoming misaligned, as is the case with other scopes.
