Most years, like the majority of bloggers out there, I try to do a post or two about gift ideas. I’ve already written a bit about the Guide’s Guide to Hunting video series, and about the foneGEAR phone and camera cases.

Asian Carp: Michigan’s Biggest Environmental Threat
At this point in time, I honestly believe that the possibility of Asian Carp entering the Great Lakes is Michigan’s biggest environmental threat. And this may come as a shock to some folks, but I think it’s even more threatening to Michigan’s environment then our current baiting ban.
We’ve all saw these Asian carp on outdoor [...]

USFWS Basically Ignored Concerns About Disease From Wolves Before Reintroduction
