Wild Horses are Breaking Nevada State Law
Nevada state legislators are prepared to come down on wild horses roaming their state and drinking its water.
Furthermore, the letter asks King to request that the federal agencies – in this case the Bureau of Land Management – that it needs to remove from the range all feral horses and burros covered under the Wild [...]

1/20 A.M. Deer Hunt
With overcast skies, cold temperatures, and a wind out of the northeast, I decided to try a spot where I arrowed the G2 Midget Buck from last year. I set up near a 30 yard wide thicket of cane on the side of a mature loblolly pine ridge and waited for daylight. It didn’t take [...]

Study Finds Snowboarding ‘Less Deadly’ Than Skiing
But it’s not all good news for snowboarders. As GetOutdoors points out, this study lands on the heels of the deadliest month for snowboarding in U.S. history. Twelve snowboarders died in the Western U.S. last month, all but one of them were killed skiing in closed areas.
Snowboarders are also 50% to 70% more likely than [...]

Helicopter Avalanche Control in Canada
Canada, or ‘America’s Hat,’ has an extraordinary amount of snowy hillsides that abut roads in their own national parks. This video shows how the park drops bombs from helicopters to run avalanche control. Lighting the charges and throwing them out the door of a chopper is pretty insane. At least if something goes wrong when [...]

Chelsea Clinton’s Husband Quits Investment Job, Moves to Jackson Hole to Ski
In exciting celebrity news, the guy who married Bill Clinton’s daughter ditched his hedge fund job in New York City and relocated to Jackson Hole for the winter. According to the New York Post he’s become something called a ‘ski bum,’ though I doubt that he’s spending powder days bumping chairs for tourists. Jackson locals: [...]

Chandler Woodcock Maine’s New IFW Commissioner
I’m not sure too many Maine sportsmen at the moment can figure out what was going on in Governor Paul LePage’s mind when he interviewed candidates for Commissioner of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW). In addition, it did and it didn’t come as a surprise when Chandler Woodcock was named LePage’s [...]

Maine Outdoor Sportsmen Teetering On Brink Of Insignificance
Posted by Tom Remington on February 1, 2011 · Leave a Comment
In an excruciatingly painful to read, mumbo-jumbo of incoherent babbling by the Bangor Daily News editorial staff, perhaps the only worthwhile thing they wrote was to state an obvious about the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine (SAM): “as a constituency, sportsmen are a small minority, and as such, a special interest.” It further states that in [...]
