President Donald Trump has nominated a longtime oil and gas industry representative to oversee an agency that manages a quarter-billion acres of public land concentrated in western states.
Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Colorado-based oil industry trade group Western Energy Alliance, was named Bureau of Land Management director, a position with wide influence over lands used for energy production, grazing, recreation and other purposes. An MIT graduate, Sgamma has been a leading voice for the fossil fuel industry, calling for fewer drilling restrictions on public lands that produce about 10% of U.S. oil and gas.

Ernie Calandrelli of Lewiston, N.Y., truly believes he is one of the luckiest people on the planet. I would agree with him. He is one of the first people I ever wrote about when I began my freelance writing career with the Niagara Falls Gazette back in 1980.

Just like my other hunting equipment, my trail cameras require some regular care and maintenance to keep them functioning for another season.

The Wisconsin Bowhunters Association (WBH) 84h annual convention will take place Saturday, March 1, at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center in Stevens Point.
What we’re going to talk about here today – a possible change in Wisconsin’s deer unit boundaries to numbered units in the two forest zones and a preview of the April 14 spring fish and game rule change proposals – was intended to be handled in two separate news stories.
Both of those topics will come up Wednesday, Feb. 26 in Madison at the Natural Resources Board (NRB) meeting that starts at 8:30 that morning in GEF II, the DNR office. Even with a 40-page print issue in the Feb. 21 edition of Wisconsin Outdoor News, we ended up filling all the news pages before we filed the stories handling these two topics. So we’ll do that here.
This week we hear from seminar speakers at the Wisconsin
