So Kansas has this late duck season around the end of January every year for 9 days. The last two years I’ve absolutely crushed the fat, red legged mallard drakes during this crazy-cold opportunity. Both times I’ve found small pieces of water that were still open when the rest of the county was frozen. Unfortunately [...]

How good of a Turkey Hunter are You?
Turkey Hunters might be even more passionate about chasing a long bird as a Whitetail Deer Hunter chasing a monster buck. The reality is both require skills, determination, practice and right equipment. I will profess that I am not as skilled as a Turkey Hunter as I am a Deer Hunter but I love to [...]

Where to Stick’em – Bowhunting Turkey’s
If you are bowhunting a Turkey you most likely bowhunt big game as well. If that is the case you know how vital a well placed arrow is to ethically harvest that animal. We also know that each animal’s vitals are placed in slightly different places within each animal. The same holds [...]

Put Grunt down and pick up Box Call….
If you are like me you are already beginning to think about Turkey Season. I hunted for the last time this past week and have already had a mind shift toward chasing some long beards across the USA…. In spite of growing up on a ranch in Florida Turkey Hunting was not a big part [...]

Ice Canoe Racing in Canada
Those long, dark, cold winters really take a toll on the Canadian psyche. Ice canoe racing is growing in popularity in Quebec. What used to be the only way across the river is now a team event in which crews run, paddle, and hopefully avoid swimming from one side of the river to the other. [...]

Colorado Officials Wake Hibernating Bear with Country Music
A plumber for the Boulder Community Hospital contacted the Department of Wildlife when he found a hibernating bear in a crawl space on hospital property. They responded with the latest technology for hibernating bear rousing: god-awful music. They stuck a radio in its den and blasted country music until it woke up and left. They’re [...]

Hippos Chase Tourist Boat in Kenya
The video that these giggling teenagers captured while on a tourist boat in Kenya’s Lake Naivasha is among the rarest hippo footage in the world. They shot a video of a hippo charge from start to finish, something pro videographers have a very hard time finding. Why? Maybe because pros from reputable companies don’t take [...]

Some believe that the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) is functioning at a reduced level due to a lack of funding. Nowhere has anyone produced any evidence that the money available to them and the programs they are implementing and dedicating their resources to are being spent prudently and in the best [...]

Midwest to Face Water Shortage?
I’ve always thought that once all the oil is gone and wars are fought over supplies of clean water, the Midwest would be a good place to build an evil empire. Turns out that Chicago and Milwaukee may actually be facing water shortages as soon as 30 years from now. The Great Lakes have plenty [...]

Commercial Wind Power & Wildlife
Guest blog by David Miller Does industrial wind and wildlife really mix well? I would suggest no. There has been much research into the affects of industrial wind turbines and its deadly affect on bats and birds, but little to none on mammals. The effects on both livestock and wildlife are starting to be realized [...]
