A former state prison officer in Oregon was sentenced to probation, fined more than $114,000 and banned from hunting for life after pleading guilty to various wildlife crimes.
Christopher Matson, 48, of Umatilla, faced 67 criminal charges after the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division caught him poaching big-game animals, including a black bear, and in possession of illegal firearms. The charges spanned multiple counties.
Standing on a dock at a Lamoille River fishing access, Andrea Shortsleeve said that ballooning expenses and high demand are making state land and infrastructure harder and harder to manage.
Moments later, Shortsleeve, who is the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department chief of operations, watched an enthusiastic motorboat pilot crash into the dock, leaving the structure shuddering and sending a passenger sprawling.

The Trump administration finalized a rule on July 10 that changes how agencies enforce the Endangered Species Act and eliminates a key protection for imperiled wildlife against logging, oil drilling and other activities.
The administration narrowed the definition of “harm” under the landmark law – a change with broad implications.

President Donald Trump on Monday sharply reduced the size of two national monuments in Utah, undoing public lands protections established by his Democratic predecessors.
Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in southern Utah have ancient cliff dwellings, petroglyphs and scenic canyons, as well as coal and uranium deposits that state officials want made available for development.
A Maine couple heading out for a day of fishing happened upon a scene fit for a nature documentary: A moose calf running for its life with a large black bear in pursuit.

The deaths of three U.S. government firefighters in a Colorado wildfire are casting a spotlight on the Trump administration’s creation of a new federal fire service and its revival of a previously discredited policy to stomp out all wildfires quickly.
One of the killed firefighters worked for the U.S. Wildland Fire Service, established this year without customary congressional approval by drawing personnel from four agencies within the Interior Department.

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Hawaii law requiring people to get permission to carry guns into stores and hotels on June 25, in its latest opinion backing Second Amendment rights.

A few hours north of Michigan’s Portage Lake, Robert Hinds decided to add a $50 fuel surcharge to the fishing trips he offers as the owner and operator of Central Coast Angling.
He tows his 22-foot boat from port to port on Lake Michigan depending on where the fishing is best, so he has to fill up his truck in addition to his boat. Hinds said he’s had multiple cancellations as customers do their own math on gas prices. One regular customer from Nebraska didn’t make the trip this spring.
