I’m tired of hunting being associated with Ted Nugent rather than Aldo Leopold. But hunting culture has only itself to blame. The mediocrity of so-called “bipartisanship” perpetuates a narrative for right-wing media while ignoring that it’s all built on progressive policy. I’m working to change that

The R party has consistently lobbied against the system that made hunting a sustainable model of conservation in America. The industry helped them hijack the narrative. The truth is, its success was built on progressive policy—something they don’t want you to know. Gutting the Lacey Act? Wake up.

This is not a drill. This administration proved itself to be no friend of hunters last time. They say one thing and do another. The consequences of some of these actions would be irreversible and could end a 100-plus-year legacy of hunters advocating for the public trust. Behave accordingly.

We are gravely concerned about threats to public land and the scientific management of wildlife and habitat. If recent events have shown us anything, it’s that conservation and public lands should never be taken for granted. It’s up to all of us to become educated and involved.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

As we speak, the Trump administration is laying off thousands of workers who take care of our public lands. If you care about the legacy that we pass on to our kids and grandkids, now is the time to speak up.

The nicknaming of woodcock is far older than modern times. The biological history of the American woodcock is believed to date back as far as 1,000,000 years, surviving at least two ice ages... Along that road, people gave many names to what we now call the America Woodcock or Scolopax minor.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

This is their goal. Privatize everything. And by “privatize” we mean steer billions to themselves and their friends, ending programs that serve those with the least under the guise of “efficiency”. Rural areas will suffer. Prices will rise. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The pinyon jay is a medium-sized bird also found in western rangelands whose range overlaps with the sage-grouse. It’s a crestless jay with a body shape resembling a small crow. Because of this, it’s been known by the folk name “blue crow.”

I’ve hunted over a few Pudelpointers. Developed in the 1880s, this German wire-haired breed is one of a handful from Germany. Ranked #8 in popularity, 5.8% of the upland community owns this breed, according to the 2024 North American Upland Bird Hunting Survey. 🐩

Through their work, they were able to identify that the lead impacting woodcock was both sourced from local areas and introduced into their diet. The researchers suggest we won’t see a decrease in the lead levels in woodcock unless “the amount of lead discharged into the environment is reduced.” 🧪

Despite the name containing the word “Milan” it did not originate in Northern Italy. Its origins were Southern Italy and, depending on where your family immigrated from, some seasonings in this breaded tradition vary. Journey back to those regions today and this method is applied to about anything.

I could nerd out on woodcock all day, every day, and it never gets old. The oldest fossil evidence of their existence dates back 1 million years ago, during an ice age. The most dominant food in their diet is not native to North America, and they are itinerant breeders. No big deal.
