Pennsylvania’s Act 54 — a new poaching law that was supposed to be tough on criminals — recently set the bar low with a weak sentence from Bradford County’s Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Smith.
Sixty-year-old, Everett Leonard faced a potential seven years in prison with a $43,000 fine, and his 32-year-old son Everett Tyler a whopping 24 years with a $100,00 fine for the slaughter of 32 whitetail deer on two separate occasions, in Armenia Township in 2010. Or at least that’s what Act 54 would have allowed if there weren’t a lack of mandatory minimums. [ Read Full Post ]
While it's unlikely federal wildlife officials will reintroduce wolves into southern Colorado in order to reduce elk populations, the measure is at least being considered.
Spurred by a public comment, U.S. Fish and Wildlife is kicking around the idea of reintroducing wolves as a means of controlling elk numbers on the Baca National Wildlife Refuge, according to Chieftain.com. Cottonwoods and willows have been hit hard by elk herds on the refuge, which sits just west of Great Sand Dunes National Park, about 50 miles north of the New Mexico borderline. [ Read Full Post ]
This week we're doing something a little different with the blog. Bear Grylls was at SHOT Show last week to promote his Ultimate Knife and he gave us some time for an interview. But instead of asking him the standard "what's the grossest thing you've ever eaten" questions, we decided to turn Benny Spies loose on Bear.
What follows is 14 minutes of the most awkward interview to ever run on this website (in Benny's defense, this was the first interview he's done in his life).
As Bear's security guards, agent and fans hovered around the periphery, Benny rattled off razor-sharp questions like: "Have you ever come across an all female nudist colony?" "What kind of bear do you consider yourself?" and "If we dropped you off somewhere on the moon could you get back home?"
See the interview for yourself, in all its unedited glory.

There are plenty of do-it-yourself camp stove ideas on the Internet. Some are new and some are classics, but few are as resourceful as the fire can. Here’s a fun little project you can do this weekend.
This simple contraption is made from any cast-off flat can (like a tuna can). You’ll also need some thin snips of cardboard, cut as wide as the can is tall (any length will work). And finally, you’ll require some candle wax, new or old. This wax component is a great way to use up candle drippings or old candle nubs. [ Read Full Post ]
The Georgia Senate is considering a bill that would allow hunters to utilize suppressors (silencers) on rifles and shotguns when hog hunting. According to the Morris News Service, the bill came about at the urging of sheriffs who want to cut down on the number of noise complaints they receive about hunters.
Republican Senator John Bulloch from the south Georgia town of Ochlocknee took the sheriff’s concerns to heart by sponsoring what is now known as Senate Bill 301. Bulloch feels the bill will not only help with noise complaints but also allow hunters to take more than one hog at a time since the lower decibel shot will most likely fail to scare off any additional pigs.

Quail populations have declined by 2.8 percent each year over the last 20 years in Texas and now wildlife managers are considering making sweeping changes to hunting seasons and regulations.
Yesterday, Texas Parks and Wildlife commissioners decided to hold off on making any major changes to the quail hunt until they are able to get more data. Changes that were on the table included splitting the state into two zones, lowering the bag limit in the eastern zone from 15 to 5 and shortening the season by a month. [ Read Full Post ]

A potential Virginia state record striped bass nearly slipped away, twice.
Captain Tim Cannon was fishing off Virginia Beach when he received a call from another captain telling him to head to Cape Henry because the fish were feeding. He decided to troll two sets of white parachute rigs at the new location. When one of the rods tipped, angler Cary Wolfe jumped on it and started reeling.

The average “Ten Essentials” list calls for food, as does the typical list of survival priorities. Most instructors and books also recommend that we have food in our bug out bags, 72-hour kits and wilderness survival kits. I’ve been caught without food enough times in the past that I’m always sure to pack food now.
But which types of food make sense in a survival pack?
Certainly your choices will vary by season, terrain and the nature of the survival scenario; but what I’m always looking for is a solid middle ground. Which foods work for hot and cold; wet and dry; short-term and long-term? [ Read Full Post ]
At $3,900 this scope is an investment. The TARS (Tactical Advanced Rifle Scope) has a battery operated illumination system and serious MOA turrets. Internally it has less glass than rival scopes, which increases light transmission and makes it a brighter scope. [ Read Full Post ]
