Yellowstone’s Crackdown on Non-native Lake Trout Sees Progress
Lake trout have existed in Yellowstone National Park for more than two decades, but park officials say that the species may soon be headed for a decline. Some may find it strange that biologists are working so hard to eradicate lake trout, a popular fish for both anglers and seafood lovers. However, the introduction of this species has nearly decimated the park's native cutthroat trout.
“The goal was to crash the lake-trout population to a point where they are no longer adversely affecting Yellowstone cutthroat trout,” Yellowstone's Center for Resources Chief David Hallac told the Read more »
Video: Hunters Bag Coyote with 1,860-yard Shot
In normal circumstances, .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua are relatively big and expensive calibers to be taking coyotes with.
For the two hunters in the video below, the additional cost of a heavier, powerful cartridge is a small price to pay for long-range performance. The hunters make two shots on a coyote a little over a mile away---roughly 1,860 yards. According to the video's description, the shots were made simultaneously, although it was the .338 that struck and killed the 'yote.

Food Plot Strategies for Summer Growth and Retention
When most hunters think of planning food plots, the number-one thing on their mind is to bring a buck to the plot during the hunting season. What many people do not realize is that bringing that buck in front of your sights during the season starts in the spring and summer.
One of the keys to having deer on your property during the hunting season is having them acclimated to and comfortable on the property all year long. The right summer food plot will not only hold the bucks on your land, but it will increase the number of does and fawns on your land, too, which will pay off during the rut...

Bird Snatches Dog from Washington Homeowner’s Property

Wildlife biologists contend that attacks on household pets are very rare, but one Washington woman said that is exactly what happened to her seven-pound Shih Tzu late last month. According to KCPQ-TV, Marcia Green was at her 40-acre property in Cashmere when a bird carried off one of her dogs and then later dropped it from a great height. Raptors...
The Eastern CMP Games: Military Rifles on the Range
When the targets began to rise, I dropped to one knee, planted my left elbow where it should be on the mat, and cycled the bolt on the M1 Garand. The first two shots felt pretty good, except I had a little trouble focusing on the front sight. After the first two shots, the familiar “ping” of the M1's clip ejecting reminded me to reload, and the process went smoothly. Back on the rifle again, my position was a little squirrely, and I made an adjustment, but the recoil kept bumping me back out of position. I did my best to breathe the rifle up into the target, and pin the trigger smoothly,...
