Sharing The Land
60 percent of land in the United States is privately owned. Nearly a quarter of that private land is owned primarily or leased for hunting. As access seeker numbers increase, so does the need to increase private land access. At the same time, the need for game and land management by communities is apparent. Land ownership requires a portfolio of labor, skills and knowledge. It's with this spirit that we invite landowners and access seekers to connect for the purpose of stewarding and enjoying healthier lands together.
Doug Duren, founder of "Sharing The Land"
If you ask Doug Duren about where Sharing The Land came from, it was born out of a need to prevent wear and tear on his soul. Attempts to restore historic oak stands had been faltering due to local deer herd sizes, given their browsing preference for oak saplings. This project, combined with local CWD prevalence (also population related), lead him to the conclusion that reductions were needed. After taking eight deer himself in a season, he felt more like an exterminator than a hunter.
A continual reader of Aldo Leopold, Doug was familiar with the Riley Game Cooperative, and its proximity to the farm along with its understudied historical nature, meant it was a quick leap to begin implementing similar processes for the benefit of the property.
By inviting hunters who had contributed to conservation practices, he not only improved the property, but engaged people about carrying that work forward elsewhere, while reaching harvest goals and sharing the value of that hunting experience. Watch this video below to learn more about Sharing the Land and the origin of the idea...

Annealing Made Perfect
"Annealing Made Perfect" is the brainchild of father and son team Alex and Matt Findlay. Alex has extensive experience in the firearms industry. Matt is a qualified engineer and tool maker. As passionate reloaders, we are always striving for the ultimate in accuracy. Like most guys, we were vaguely aware of annealing brass, but always thought of it as "black magic”. Everyone had an opinion on how to do it, and no two opinions were the same. The more we looked though, the more we found that many of the very best shooters were experimenting with annealing as part of their case preparation. Frequently they were frustrated at the lack of consistency available with traditional methods.
Our goal was to produce a safe, reliable and totally user friendly induction brass cartridge annealer which would give absolutely repeatable results every time. After three years of R&D we have succeeded.
Of course, that was only half the challenge. What about the science of brass hardness? What is the correct way to get repeatable neck hardness, and for that matter, how do you even measure it? Try finding the hard science to that on the internet, as opposed to "informed” opinion. It didn’t exist. We decided to invest in significant metallurgy research.

Texas Trophy Hunters Association
Map My Ranch is proud to be a partner with the Texas Trophy Hunters Association. We have donated custom maps for their annual Bucks & BBQ event, and we support them however possible. For those that don't know, the Texas Trophy Hunters Association strives to unite all segments of the hunting community for the dissemination of information and joining of energies to promote and protect our hunting heritage. It's hard to find anybody in the hunting industry today who doesn't agree that the Texas Trophy Hunters Association has, over the years, been nearly single-handedly responsible for restoring the quality of the deer herd in Texas, for securing and advancing the rights of hunters in Texas, and for helping revive the very sport of hunting itself. Try to find another "deer hunting association" that can honestly claim a track record like that! So, whether you're a member yet or not, if you hunt deer in Texas, you've already received quite a few benefits from the Texas Trophy Hunters Association. Now, imagine how you and the sport of deer hunting would benefit if more hunters joined our Association! Learn more today at: www.TTHA.com

Precision Rifle Hunters
Precision Rifle Hunters L.L.C. is about improving rifle hunters’ abilities to make precise shots while zeroing their rifles, shooting closer than their zero range, as well as much farther distances than their zero range.
I began predator hunting as a teen, in the early nineties. After many years of predator hunting I wanted to have the ability to make precise shots beyond the 200 yard maximum I was comfortable with. I researched, through several publications and websites, hand-loading instruction, purchased equipment, and began making my own ammunition tuned to the rifle. That led me to researching the science of long range rifle shooting, the fundamentals of marksmanship, the proper optics, and the art of wind reading. I slowly began to attempt shots beyond the 200 yards I was comfortable with and worked my way out to 500 yards on steel and paper. I became friends with an accomplished long range marksman, and he helped me bridge the gap between 500 and 1000 yards. The first time I connected with steel at 1000 yards was a major feeling of accomplishment!
I decided the test my skills in competition. I began shooting “tactical practical” precision rifle matches. They are an excellent classroom to learn what weakness I had, and to show me the areas I need to improve upon. They also will force me to shoot scenarios that I had never thought of, really getting me out of my comfort zone. Those type of rifle matches are excellent to hone rifle hunters skills. They require every competitor to make precise shots from field positions, and under tight time constraints, the same as rifle hunting.
My goal is to share with hunters what I have learned in personal shooting practice, what I have learned competing in rifle matches, and what I have learned in the field. I am forever a student, and I look forward to learning more, and sharing those lessons with my fellow hunters that want to impove their skills.
