This story, “I Get Buck Fever … And Like It,” appeared in the August 1936 issue of Outdoor Life. The words “buck fever” call to mind one of the most frequently recurring of hunting pictures. It never varies, and usually it brings a smile. The tenderfoot deer hunter, be he freckled-faced kid in overalls or city dude, clad in red cap and high boots, sees his first deer. He raises his rifle — tries to shoot. But the gun swings in…

As long as a military family is following either the laws of the service member’s state of legal residence or the laws of the state…

A group that opposes Colorado’s wolf reintroduction efforts is now arguing that Proposition 114, the ballot initiative that established the state’s wolf reintroduction program, didn’t actually pass among voters in 2020. The group, Colorado Conservation Alliance, is asking the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service — which is already reviewing the reintroduction program — to reconsider the implementation agreement it has with Colorado Parks and Wildlife while these claims are reviewed. “Proposition 114 — the validation behind Colorado’s entire wolf program —…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Finding fish on any body of water is easier said than done. A good rule of thumb is that 90 percent of the fish can be found in 10 percent of the waterway. That leaves a lot of room for error for the average angler who just wants to bend the rod on a few bass or panfish. Thankfully, most fisheries have bridges, boat ramps, docks, and laydowns surrounding the banks. These are great places to start if you’re looking for a new honey hole. While…

More than a decade ago, I founded the Global War on Terror Memorial Foundation alongside a group of extraordinary Americans who served our country during our nation’s longest war. The initial group, which expanded to towering figures like Jan Scruggs — who founded the Vietnam Wall — Gen. David Petraeus and Gen. Jim Conway, sought to create a sacred place on the National Mall where service, sacrifice, loss and healing could be recognized. It was not only for the generation that fought these wars, but for generations yet to come. That mission has since been entrusted to a new board…

Fewer U.S. Air Force tankers are available for aerial refueling missions than official figures suggest, according to a new report.The problem is how the Air Force defines a tanker as mission-capable. A tanker that is available for non-refueling missions such as medevac or cargo transport will be rated as mission-capable — even if it can’t perform refueling.It is a second category, fully mission capable, or FMC, that rates whether a tanker is available for the refueling task.“The percentage of aerial refueling tankers that are available and mission capable has remained persistently below the standards that the Air Force established for…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Seated comfortably in my friend Dave’s sleek little 13-foot fishing boat, we left the dock on a calm day full of blue water, blue sky, and even some picturesque white clouds towering far to the north. I was there to fish, of course, but also to photograph the excursion, so I was particularly pleased with the clouds. In fact, my only concern was Dave’s mushy speculation about the best area for us to go to in search of fat walleyes. “I’ve got this feeling they’ll be…

What happens to all your hard-earned game if the power goes out for an extended period of time? During Covid-19 shutdowns, we got a brief glimpse into the precarious nature of the every-day services that we rely on. Meat aisles and shelves of dry goods were pillaged and left barren. “One-person-customer” signs were plastered across stores and a sense of panic permeated a large segment of our country. For many of us hunters and anglers, we were likely less worried. (But…

The United States has confirmed 12 cases of the New World screwworm. Eleven cases were reported in Texas, and the other was in New Mexico.

Navy Lt. Cmdr. David Westenberg knows how to grin and bear it. After a successful 38-year career in dentistry in Southern California, Westenberg wasn’t quite ready to put down his scalers. Watching his son graduate as a U.S. Navy officer inspired Westenberg in 2022 — at the age of 64 — to also pursue a commission in the sea service. Now, at the age of 67, the naval officer has become the oldest recipient on record to earn the Fleet Marine Force qualification insignia pin, according to a recent release. Attainment of the FMFQO designation signifies that a Navy officer…

Considering everything else that is going on in our world right now, that is really bad news. It is being projected that the El Niño that has developed in the southern Pacific is likely to rapidly transform into a “Super El Niño” of frightening strength. At the same time,…
