A recent video that was apparently posted to Snapchat then circulated around other social media platforms illustrates exactly what a lot of traditional turkey hunters have felt for a long time — reaping or fanning turkeys isn’t fair-chase hunting.  In the video, a hunter crouches behind a reaping decoy while his buddy films from the woodline. A longbeard charges into frame at point-blank range. Before the hunter can shoot, the tom circles the decoy while the hunter stands up in disbelief.…

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: US Says ‘No Ships Made It Past Blockade’ As Iran Mulls Hormuz Shipping Pause To Preserve Talks, Which Trump Says Could Happen In Two Days Summary CENTCOM: “During the first 24 hours, no ships made it past the U.S. blockade & 6 merchant vessels complied with direction from US forces to turn around to re-enter an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman,” it said. Diplomacy is not yet dead, as Bloomberg reports Iran is mulling a short-term pause to shipments through the Hormuz Strait. Trump tells NYP talks could happen again in…

The world’s attention is fixed on the Strait of Hormuz now that the U.S. Navy is blockading the crucial shipping channel at President Donald Trump’s behest. But some foreign policy experts warn that the strait is not the only potential choke point that Iran and its proxies could leverage. In particular, they cite the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which sits at the mouth of the Red Sea just off the coast of Yemen. The waterway is highly susceptible to attack from the Iranian-backed Houthis, who control most of Yemen.“The Houthis are the ones who pioneered, in a way, this idea of…

As the Pentagon pursues a review of the effectiveness of women in ground combat roles, a group of lawmakers is promoting legislation that would enshrine in policy the ability for women to serve in those roles. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, a Pennsylvania Democrat and former Air Force Officer, has introduced the Women Add Resourcefulness and Resilience to Improve Operational Readiness (WARRIOR) Act, which would prohibit the military services from excluding service members from any “occupational speciality, career field, or assignment” on the basis of sex.Houlahan was joined by Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former Army Ranger and paratrooper, and Rep. Maggie…

A professional python hunter in South Florida was recently reminded — in a nauseating way — of why exactly he and others spend so much time and effort finding and removing the giant, invasive snakes from the Everglades. In a video he shared to Instagram, Kev Pav gave viewers an up-close look at a Burmese python regurgitating a native bird. The giant snake, writhing on the ground, opens its flexible mouth and jawbones to spit out the dead bird in one…

A vessel owned by China passed through the Strait of Hormuz in spite of the blockade by the United States Navy under orders of President Donald Trump. The sanctioned Chinese-owned oil and chemical tanker Rich Starry successfully transited the vital waterway on Tuesday amid a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. The Rich Starry was the first vessel to cross the Strait since the U.S. imposed its blockade on Monday. The ship was initially turned back on Monday, but was successful on its second attempt to cross. Citing data from Kpler and MarineTraffic, Reuters reported that the vessel had traversed the chokepoint earlier…

Sitting in the pitch dark, listening to the sound of a wailing rabbit, and waiting for a predator to come running is one of the most exciting ways to hunt. But it comes with one huge challenge: we can’t see in the dark. Overcoming that challenge requires the right gear, so I spoke with two night-hunting experts for advice on what you…

United States Vice President JD Vance says that the U.S. has “accomplished our objectives” in Iran and could wind down the war anytime. If that’s the case, then why would Donald Trump insist on a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in an attempt to get the Iranian regime to come to the negotiation table over its nuclear weapons program? In a Fox News interview on Monday, after US negotiators left talks in Pakistan without securing an agreement to end the conflict, Vance said Washington had made “a lot of progress” in the negotiations, adding that “the ball is in Iran’s court” on whether…

No ship entered or exited Iranian ports during the first 24 hours of a sweeping U.S. maritime blockade, in an operation involving more than 10,000 troops and over a dozen warships, U.S. Central Command said Tuesday.The move places U.S. forces at the center of a key global shipping route after President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. Navy would blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime corridor through which much of the world’s oil shipments flow. The blockade began Monday morning and applies to all vessels coming and going from Iranian ports, the command said on social media, adding…

A day in the life of a wildlife officer is anything but routine, and even the most mundane tasks can quickly turn into life-or-death situations. This is exactly what happened on March 30, when an officer with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Annette Schlag, fell 20 feet out of a tree in the Whitewater Wildlife Management Area. Because of the remote and rough terrain she was in, Schlag had to be airlifted out of the woods with a rescue helicopter.…

At 18 years old, Staff Sgt. Phillip “Bruce” Cook flew 35 missions as a ball turret gunner in a B-17 Flying Fortress, tasked with fighting for air supremacy over occupied Europe. Now, more than 80 years after his last mission, Cook has received France’s highest military award becoming a Knight of the Legion of Honor. The 100-year-old South Carolina native received the National Order of the Legion of Honour on April 9 from Anne-Laure Desjonquères, the French consul general, who noted “Mr. Cook, you are a true hero — your example gives us inspiration for the future and your legacy…

On the East Coast especially, their spring runs are steeped in history and lore. In some regions, shad fishing culture is waning while it flourishes in others, but no matter where you find these fish, they have one thing in common — they don’t eat once they leave saltwater and enter their spawning rivers. Catching them becomes a game of getting the right lure in their faces as they…

Prepare for much more pain at the pump. The United States has started its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.  Ships are now all barred from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz by the U.S. Navy. The U.S. says that it is attempting to ratchet up pressure on Iran to reopen the key oil route after peace negotiations collapsed. The U.S. and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, which Tehran says the U.S., via Israel, has already violated. Trump Threatens to Blockade The Strait of Hormuz “We can’t let a country blackmail or extort the world, because that’s what they’re…

This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute.  Teddy Roosevelt would be so pleased if he could see the world today, with a US military presence virtually everywhere on the planet. The current savagery with Iran is only the headline conflict—having displaced the proxy missions in Ukraine and Gaza—but many more are quietly underway or waiting in the wings. No declaration of war, of course, since declarations require Congress to act in accordance with a set of rules nobody can agree on. In war, according to Sun Tzu, if the goal is victory, the only rule is winning as quickly as…

Surviving a tough event—whether it was a physical and mental struggle, even a sudden job loss, a health scare, or something bigger—is only the first part. The real victory comes afterward, when you put yourself back together in a way that leaves you stronger and more capable than before. I’ve been through my share of tough spots, physically and mentally banged up from deployments where things got hectic, to personal losses that flattened me like a steamroller. I’ve been fired, lost friends and family, failed to save the lives of others, been injured and medevaced, and dealt with the long-term…
