Earlier this month, the U.S. House Committee of Natural Resources held a hearing on sea lion management on the Columbia River. According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, “Columbia River salmon and steelhead face a serious threat from sea lions that have learned to consume these fish at predation hotspots such as dams, fish ladders, and natural pinch points in the river and its tributaries.”To combat the problem, state and federal agencies have tried a plethora of non-lethal options with limited success, including a dummy orca that went belly-up and arm-flailing inflatable men on docks. Additionally, officials have…
The Homochitto River winds through the southwest corner of Mississippi and empties into the river that shares the state’s namesake. Other than Natchez, a preserved antebellum town, it’s a scarcely populated region, defined by historical markers and the dilapidated mills that stand in perpetual collapse along Highway 98, until it, too, runs out and empties into the backroads of Adams and Wilkinson counties. Insomuch as any southern town is defined by its past, this region remains tethered to its origins. Unless you were born in this place or married someone from here, you’d have no reason to go there. Local…
Armed Citizen® Today On Nov. 25, 2025, a jewelry store assistant manager in Murray, Utah, buzzed in two potential customers, despite some misgivings about their appearance. “I noticed that the beard on one of [the suspects] looked a little too groomed, too straight. I was like, ‘That’s kinda odd,’ but I buzzed them in—that was a bad idea,” the assistant manager later told reporters. The other man was apparently wearing a wig as a disguise as well. Immediately upon entering, one of the “customers” took out a gun and pushed the assistant manager backwards. The armed suspect then forced him…
The Kodiak, introduced in 2024, is based on the company’s iconic Anaconda design, which was brought back to the market in 2021. In fact, the Kodiak, like the Anaconda, is also somewhat of a reintroduction, too. Back in the early 1990s, Colt produced a small number of Kodiak revolvers, which were based on the first-generation Anacondas. Those revolvers were outfitted with 6-inch barrels, though, and for this new generation of Kodiak revolvers, Colt chose to add a carry-ready, 4.25-inch variant, which is what we have on the range today. There are a few key features that distinguish the new Kodiak…
I must admit, as a kid raised on the East Coast who now lives in Texas, the idea that you could harvest your own Christmas tree on public land is a foreign, wonderful concept.But it makes sense. We harvest meat and mushrooms and trout from our public land–why not Christmas trees?If you’re fortunate enough to live in a state where such a magical Yuletide tradition is possible, take advantage of it. Don’t get your tree at Home Depot. Venture into the mountains and cut one down yourself, like St. Nick and Paul Bunyan intended.If you’re not sure where to start,…

Editor’s Introductory Note: Today’s short feature post is from our friend Hub Moolman, in South Africa. Hub’s analysis includes two very useful charts. While I don’t rely on technical analysis, I do find that it often provides useful confirmation for the study of market fundamentals. For the big market traders, the current silver market seems to be transitioning from the “disbelief” stage to the “mania” stage. It is always difficult to time a market top, and missing a top can be perilous. I did quite well in calling the silver market bottom, on February 8, 2001 in a Usenet post…
