Native trout are the ones that have been here for thousands of years, such as brook trout in the mountains of the Northeast and cutthroat trout throughout the Rockies. “Wild trout” refers to fish that were introduced by humans at some point and now maintain their population and reproduce naturally. (Believe it or not, brown trout are from Europe and would exist nowhere in the U.S. had they not been implanted.) Stocked…

The old-timers who took me on my very first turkey hunts in the hard-hunted states of West Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, and Tennessee preached a spare-and-rare approach to calling. Bringing that mindset back to my home country in the Upper Midwest and Great Plains was a good idea — sometimes it even worked. But there were plenty of occasions when soft and subtle failed. Whether the country was too big, the wind was too strong, the toms were too aloof, or…

Everyone who uses a chainsaw has been there: You’re at full throttle, the beautiful two-stroke symphony at max RPM, but you’re only seeing fine dust exiting the log, and you aren’t getting anywhere. Your chain is about as sharp as a marble. Some people I know go out and put a brand-new chain on, and eventually, they end up with a dozen dull chains hanging around the garage. But there is a better (and cheaper) way. Use a chainsaw sharpener. But,…

When Idaho voters head to the polls for the state’s primaries in May, they’ll hopefully know a lot more about which candidates do and don’t support their public lands — and cast their ballots accordingly. Or at least, that’s the plan behind a new Idaho political action committee that recently formed in response to repeated attacks on federal and state public lands in recent years. Idaho’s PAC For Public Lands is the second group of its kind to form this year;…

When the siren wails and the sky turns that bruised shade of green, not having a good option is not an option. Your greatest asset in that moment isn’t luck—it’s a plan. And the cornerstone of that plan is knowing exactly where you and your family will ride out the storm. For many, the idea of a “safe room” conjures images of expensive, contractor-built bunkers that cost as much as a new car. But safety shouldn’t be a luxury item.
