[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Montana BHA

River access sites across the state are getting more use than ever. Many are undeveloped or not built with this kind of traffic in mind.

The unofficial access site at Stevensville Bridge, newly named John Owen FAS, is getting some much needed TLC and a few improvements sure to make anglers enjoying the beautiful Bitterroot River a little happier.

Daines would add wilderness removal to Tester’s Blackfoot Clearwater bill

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Montana BHA

Sen. Jon Tester is once again pushing to pass his Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act, but he’s getting little support from Montana’s other senator, Sen. Steve Daines. On Tuesday, the Public Lands, Forests and Mining subcommittee of the Senate committee on Energy and Natural Resources held a brief hearing on 14 bills, including Tester’s Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act. The act was first introduced as a stand-alone bill in 2017, and this will be the third Congress in which the bill has ...

A Freezer Too Full

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Joseph Drake

This piece was originally featured in the spring 2021 edition of the Backcountry Journal. I hear my wife begin recording videos for her fourth-grade class, but she is drowned out by the last of our wine deglazing the good bits from the cast iron in front of me. She has not seen her students for over a month, her heart breaking again with every email received. They ask when things will return to normal. I think of the undergraduate students’ essays I must grade after putting the browned neck ...

Hunting Boundary Waters Grouse (& Sulfide Mines)

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: David Lien

Canoe country writer, guide and conservationist Sigurd F. Olson once described the silence of northeastern Minnesota’s Boundary Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) region as the “singing wilderness.” He said, it “has to do with the calling of the loons, northern lights and the great silences of the land lying northwest of Lake Superior.”[1] And I would add, the startling volley of ruffed grouse flushing like feathered fireworks. In a world of 21st century hunting that can include bait piles, ...

Boat full of 11B’s, Dipsies, and Big Fishy’s - An AFI Salmon Trip

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: Trevor Hubbs

August on the Lake Michigan side of Wisconsin is a tricky time of year. The big lake can’t quite decide if it's ready for Fall or if the boiling windless Summer days will prevail. The complexity of August is compounded by the coming Fall salmon runs. First the Chinook Salmon come into port and run the Milwaukee, Sauk and Sheboygan rivers. They are followed closely by the Cohos and up north the Pinks before winter ice up. All these events are determined by water temperature and weather. A ...

Why Hunt Rocky Mountain Elk? (Part I)

[EasyDNNnewsLocalizedText:Author]: David Lien

For those who have never hunted Rocky Mountain elk (C. e. nelson, also known as the Yellowstone elk) and are contemplating a public lands elk hunt, it can seem like an incredibly daunting, even overwhelming proposition (true) with a steep learning curve (also true). There’s no way to sugarcoat it and there are no shortcuts. Public lands elk hunting is a tough game, physically and mentally, but don’t just take my word for it. Many hunters follow Randy Newberg—of “Fresh Tracks” and “On Your ...
