Welcome to the 118th Congress

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Kaden McArthur
On Jan. 3, 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives convened the 118th Congress following midterm elections where Republicans narrowly flipped the chamber. The new majority kicked off a slow and theatrical start with a now-notorious string of votes to choose the Speaker of the House – the longest series of such votes since before the Civil War. After 15 ballots over the course of four days, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was elected speaker following concessions to conservative members of the ...

Weigh in on Bear Management as NJ DEP considers plan and regs

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: New Jersey BHA
New Jersey BHA is pleased that legal challenges to New Jersey’s 2022 bear hunt have been nullified, the hunt was held and sportsmen and women were able to pursue bears this season. There is still work to be done to secure scientific bear management in our state, including the hunting of bears, into the future. One thing hunters can do right now is let NJ DEP know how we feel about the Bear Management Plan and some of the specific regs — including baiting rules and bear minimum size — by ...

Garlic Butter Panfish Sandwich

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Adam Berkelmans
  This garlic butter panfish sandwich is the perfect thing to make with a mess of perch or bluegill, though any lake fish or store bought white fish will do. Crunchy chips offset the silky soft fish and squishy bun. I like to use plain chips, but try your favorite flavor out and see how it works!   Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 5 min Total Time: 15 min Yield: 4 sandwiches CUISINE: American COURSE: Main Course COOKING METHOD: Braising   Ingredients   1/3 cup (75g) butter   5 large ...

TAKE ACTION: Oppose North Dakota HB 1151

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: North Dakota BHA Chapter
UPDATE: 4/4/23- House Bill 1151 failed to pass with a Senate vote of 26 opposed, 21 in favor.  Likely the most contentious bill of the legislative session for ND BHA, the bill passed the house but was fortunately killed in the senate. The chapter opposed this bill mainly upon the premise that it would have stripped the ND Game & Fish Department of their authority to implement their game management plans. Thank you to our partner organizations and everyone that contacted their Representatives ...

  By Wendi Rank   Me again. Still not sure what I’m doing here. But Land Tawney called me out by name in his winter Backcountry Journal editorial. And it took me six months to see it.

Boundary Waters Ruffed Grouse & Sulfide-Ore Mines Don’t Mix

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: David Lien
During a lifetime of ruffed grouse hunting (aka, “armed hiking”) in northern Minnesota, I’ve experienced the highs and lows of grouse population cycles and encountered sizable groups of birds, in conjunction with putting my fair share in the freezer, but the most grouse I’ve ever encountered (i.e., in the shortest period of space and time) was completely unexpected.  During the first week of October 2022, I joined Boundary Waters Journal publisher Stu Osthoff (and clients) on his annual ...
