I have some good and exciting news. Last week we posted a sign out in our future location for King’s Outdoor World. We are actually moving just down the road, and we are about to begin contruction on a brand new office and distribution center in Mount Pleasant, Utah. Due to the growth of our ShadowCamo clothing line, we need more space. We actually have now moved our offices in a temporary office/warehouse building just about 200 yards from our new site.
We have been working with the city for a while now and really wanted to stay in Mount Pleasant. By getting this new building underway, we definitely will have an exciting future ahead of us and the room now to do it in. I will be taking photos throughout the whole contruction process and keep you posted on the progress.

DNA Proves Hunter’s bear is first known wild Polar Bear-Grizzly Bear hybrid
Idaho hunter Jim Martell was polar bear hunting on Banks Island, in Canada’s Northwest Territories in mid-April when he got his game. Wildlife officials seized the prize after the hunt, however, when they noticed that its white fur was mottled with brown patches and its eyes were set inside thin circles of black skin, like a grizzly bear’s. A humped back, dished face and long claws also were features of a grizzly bear. Subsequent DNA analysis confirmed that the bear was a cross between the two breeds, the first ever discovered in the wild. The Northwest Territories Environment and Natural Resources Department returned the bear to Martell. Officials said that though interaction between the two species is not typical, grizzlies have been showing up in the region in small numbers in recent years. The drive to breed and the inability to find another grizzly bear may have led the grizzly to mate with the polar bear, biologists speculate. Though there is no established name for this cross, locals have been calling it a “pizzly” and a “grolar” bear.
