At what point does hunting technology stop being a tool and start fundamentally changing the nature of the hunt itself? Thermals. Long-range rifles. Cell cams. Drones. The drone debate may end up becoming one of the biggest “fair chase” fights hunting culture has faced in decades.

One of the largest issues right now is the fact that the Colorado River Water System was designed and built during a time of historic high flow rates. This caused the designers to over-estimate average annual flow rates and now, in the present day, the system cannot handle the human and infrastructure population explosion. To learn more about this issue, check out our recent article. Link: open.substack.com/pub/highco…

They lied to us. Gardening isn’t a “hobby,” it’s something we should all know to survive.

When I was a kid it was rare to see any bird of prey. Now they’re all over the place- a great victory.

The bald eagle almost disappeared from the lower 48. Now it’s one of the greatest wildlife comebacks in American history. America's 250th birthday hits different when you remember that.

Something will be lost when all the mountains in the US finally get cell coverage. They will be diminished. There will be nowhere you can get away.

The Boundary Waters are a national treasure, and we should preserve them for generations of Minnesotans to come. Today the Senate is voting to permanently allow foreign mining in the Boundary Waters. I’m urging every Senator to vote no on this Minnesota-last bill.
