The hunting media is abuzz with talk about corner-crossing.
On Jan. 5, when Sen. Martin Heinrich, a Democrat from New Mexico, visited the MeatEater podcast to discuss conservation and public lands, the topic of corner-crossing quickly emerged. Two days later, Outdoor Life published a piece in which journalist Christine Peterson joined lifelong Wyoming resident David Willms for a corner-crossing journey up Elk Mountain, which served as ground zero for the original conflict between four Missouri hunters and Wyoming landowner Fred Eshelman in 2021.

Steve Sarley: Illinois fishing show reminds us about value of fellow fishermen, DNR

Featured, Fishing, Illinois, National Fishing, Opinion /

I just spent a very long weekend at the Chicagoland Fishing Show in Schaumburg.
I actually wish I could have been able to spend more time walking the aisles of the Schaumburg Convention Center. I love everything about attending these shows. Aside from listening to speakers, checking out the latest tackle, boats, motors, and travel destinations, I simply love to talk to people.

Northwest Minnesota elk survey wrapping up after a delay

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News /

A northwestern Minnesota DNR wildlife team is wrapping up its efforts to survey the three elk herds – Grygla, Kittson-Central, and Caribou-Vita.
“There was quite a bit of a delay early on. We were hoping to have this done by now, but weather got in the way, including some mechanical issues that had to be resolved with the aircraft and those kinds of things,” said Blane Klemek, the DNR’s northwest regional wildlife manager.
He added that despite the delays, it might have worked out in the agency’s favor since there wasn’t as much snowfall as there is now.

A cavity in a tree, excavated by a woodpecker seems normal enough, but when you stop to consider it, this simple cavity in a tree is remarkable. Let’s take a closer look at the humble woodpecker cavity.
