Provision to sell federal public lands pulled from Senate’s reconciliation bill
Outdoor organizations on Saturday were celebrating what they called a major victory for hunters and anglers after Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) pulled his proposal from the Senate’s budget reconciliation bill that would have sold millions of acres of public land.
The original proposal announced in mid-June would have mandated the sale of as much as 3 million acres of federal lands in 11 western states under the pretense of helping to balance the federal budget and providing more affordable housing.

Glenn Sapir: A patch of green shows some potential as a food plot
When it grows up, it might qualify as a food plot. And this year, I do expect to expand it by a few feet, but by anybody’s measurement, the green oasis on the back of my property is nothing more than a patch. Nevertheless, in its first year of existence, it showed its potential, bringing in both does and bucks.
This food patch was conceived last year when I was reading the edition of New York Outdoor News that had just come in my mailbox.

Redemption in the pumpkin patch; reflecting on a Wisconsin turkey hunting season
What I love most about spring turkey hunting is the variety of weather conditions, bird behavior, and wildlife encounters each season brings. No two seasons, or hunts, for that matter, are ever the same.
There are, however, patterns that even a slow learner can detect. Sometimes, keying in on a pattern gets you a bird. Take this season. To paraphrase Jerry Garcia, what a long, strange hunt it’s been, starting even before the season began.

Nature Smart: Examining the crazy ways of Western grebes
When I was a kid in the 1960s, my family watched the Walt Disney program on Sunday evenings, like most families. It was one of the few programs the entire family could watch together.
I remember watching a particular show called Waterbirds, a 1952 short documentary about several bird species that live in water. It featured a few minutes of Western grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis) performing mating displays set to classical music.
