Latitude Outdoors has become a well-referenced and utilized brand for the mobile whitetail deer hunter, and it is easy to see why. The brand designs products with action in mind. These guys know what hunters need to optimize time in the field, and they know what extra add-ons will only slow them down. That kind of thinking came together in product form with the new Ranger 11 Pack from Latitude Outdoors.

If there’s a universal truth about hunters, it’s that they can’t help but brag a little—even if it’s about something illegal. Any well-seasoned game warden knows this; and knows that the best place to find a criminal is at the local bar, running his mouth. In south central Montana, a textbook example played out this spring, beginning when a wildlife biologist in Carbon County caught wind of a secondhand story about a guy who captured two bear cubs and staged them for a photo shoot with his son.

Tamara Thomsen has spent three decades diving and documenting shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, the coastal waters off North Carolina, and Canada’s Bay of St. Lawrence. She helped study the Civil War ironclad U.S.S. Monitor in its watery grave off Cape Hatteras in 2000. She also dived on the wreck of the RMS Empress of Ireland, swimming among the skulls and skeletons of crewmen and passengers entombed in the ship since 1914.

Receding permafrost has, once again, revealed a perfectly preserved relic of the ancient world. In 2021, Russian scientists pulled a mummified wolf from Siberian permafrost by a river in Yakutia. (That’s right, ice can mummify bodies in the right conditions.)This is the first complete wolf ever discovered from the late Pleistocene. A necropsy was performed at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk, the same university that investigated this permafrost-preserved bear from the Holocene.
