Few of us can imagine any world besides our own after enjoying a lifetime in the most comfortable society ever created by hard work, sound science, free speech, and democratically elected leadership. Even those who grew up in the 1960s and early ’70s often forget how beginning hunters mostly learned on squirrels and rabbits before graduating to deer. Whitetails weren’t universally common across the eastern United States, and seldom rendered the first game meat we ate.

A proposed ballot initiative to sunset Colorado’s wolf reintroduction by Dec. 31, 2026, cleared the Colorado Secretary of State’s Title Board on Feb. 19, paving the way once again for voters to decide the future of gray wolves across the state — a practice that the hunting community has widely criticized as “ballot box biology.”The proposed initiative would amend a current Colorado statute formalizing the start date of the reintroduction by tacking on a formal end date.

Following a two-day drive from my home on the shores of Puget Sound, I arrive in Wyoming just before sunset and find myself in awe of the landscape; the rolling hills, prairie, and mountains in the distance offer a starkly different landscape than that of my home in Western Washington. I’m here for a week-long hunting trip, targeting white-tailed deer, Hungarian partridge, and sharp-tailed grouse. It's my first time in Wyoming, and I’m going to soak up every minute of it.

Last week, Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif) and representatives Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) and Don Beyer (D-Va.) introduced legislation in Congress to create a program addressing wildlife migration problems in the West. The Wildlife Movement Through Partnerships Act is essentially a legislative extension of work that’s already been happening for the last five years—via an order from the Secretary of Interior.

A short article has been making the rounds on the news and social media claiming a possible link between eating CWD-infected meat and two men who died of Cruetzfeldt-Jakobs disease (CJD). It’s unclear, however, whether this potential link should worry hunters or if CWD was responsible at all. First, some background.

In the Saphire range of Western Montana, on bitter cold November nights, we’d eat dinner early, cut the stories short, and sneak out of the old outfitter’s house. Being careful that the pistonless screen door was hand-guided back into the jam, our boots squeaked quietly on the frost-furred porch. My father, myself, and the occasional high school friend would sneak single file across the lawn, down the hedgerow, through old trucks and snowmobiles to a taxidermy-filled bunkhouse.

When Sig Sauer introduced its Hybrid case in 2019, it didn’t take long for hunters to start dreaming about its potential applications in the field. Now, for the first time, we have hard data on what those dreams might look like in the real world. Sig developed its Hybrid case technology as part of its bid to secure the United States Army's Next Generation Squad Weapon Program (NGSW).

We’ve all heard that buying land is a good investment because nobody is making any more of it. Today, in the face of rapidly expanding human development (and rising housing prices), that seems truer than ever. But all this begs us to ask, who is buying land for conservation? Land trusts or land conservancies are nonprofit organizations that work to conserve land. They do that by buying all or part of specific parcels that fit within their mission.
