Hunters and anglers like to strut around in well-worn gear like they’ve earned a merit badge. Scuffed-up rifle stocks, blood-stained jackets, and threadbare packs usually tell a good story in the rips and stains. Well-earned wear is one thing. Flat-out neglect is another. Worn gear may tell a story, but mildew and battery corrosion just tell on you.Most gear failures don’t start in the woods or on the water. They start out small and quiet in truck beds, garages, sheds, and storage bins during the off-season. The good news is that responsible maintenance today can keep a small problem from…

The ongoing fight over Washington wildlife management has moved from combative commission meetings into federal court.On April 2, Washington Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Lorna Smith, along with Washington Wildlife First (WW1) and its Executive Director, Claire Loebs Davis, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Director Kelly Susewind and Deputy Director Amy Windrope. The sharply-worded, 82-page complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleges bullying, retaliation, viewpoint discrimination, and a broader effort by Susewind and Windrope to discredit critics of their management decisions.“Defendant Susewind has twisted facts,…

00:00:01 Speaker 1: Welcome to the news show Mother Lakers. This week, we’ve got some research about CWD that I really need to hear about the debate about bear spray versus pistols as bear defense rages on. Are the cyanide bombs you’ve been hearing all about actually bombs. Wolves in the Greater Yellowstone area are getting whittled away in numbers by hunters, no trappers. No, but don’t worry. We’ll tell you what it is later on in the show. The Alaskan Arctic might be getting itself a data center, which I generally kind of hate the idea of generally, and…

00:00:03 Speaker 1: When detectives stepped into Dustin Jersom’s canvas tent, they thought the man lying on the ground had been attacked by a bear, but the evidence inside, untouched food, an empty ax sheath, and two tequila glasses pointed to someone else, someone who had brutally murdered the father, friend, and brother and then fled into the darkness. That’s next on Blood Trails. Dustin Jersom was the kind of guy you could count on when things went sideways, and it didn’t matter whether he’d known you for twenty years or two weeks. 00:00:44 Speaker 2: He met me on…

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) The World As We Now Know It Succeed here first. A good man succeeds regardless of where he is. Marcus Aurelius would be a good man here or in ancient Rome. Same for Sejong the Great. Same if an Adeptus Astartes was put in your place. A good man succeeds where he finds himself. “I would succeed if only…” is loser talk. It’s taken many a man who might have succeeded and turned him into one who did not. You’ve probably heard “if you think you can or think you can’t, you’re…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: Our world is changing. It always has, of course, but the pace of change that we’re experiencing today seems different. And for those of us whose lives revolve around the natural world, it’s obvious that change is coming for the things that we cherish too. Whether you hunt or fish, camp or climb, it’s impossible not to recognize that the wild world is under immense pressure. By one estimate, we’re losing more than two million acres of open wild space every single year. That’s the equivalent of an entire Yellowstone National Park of open space disappearing annually.…
