Visitors to Vermont’s public lands may see a fee increase

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.

Trump administration rolls back a key protection for wildlife

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.

Trump reduces size of two national monuments in Utah as Republicans reshape land management

President Donald Trump on Monday sharply reduced the size of two national monuments in Utah, undoing public lands protections established by his Democratic predecessors.

Maine couple spots bear chase moose calf and intervenes

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.
Elvia and Todd Malcolm were in Telos Township, Maine, about an hour or so from their home in Lincoln, when they saw a female moose along the edge of a wooded area before she turned down a side road.

Trump administration seeks to stomp out all fires quickly, reviving discredited policy

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.

SCOTUS rules on pair of Second Amendment cases

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.

Gas prices hitting anglers, boaters harder this summer

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.

Wanted: The Teton Range’s few remaining mountain goats

Every now and then, a hiker, climber or biologist lays eyes on a mountain goat in the nooks and crannies of the mighty Teton Range.
There’s a good likelihood that the unwanted, nonnative animal doesn’t survive long after the authorities pinpoint its presence. That’s because the National Park Service is now removing all mountain goats that survived an intensive three-year effort to rid the Tetons of the species.

Massachusetts fisherman reels in great white, then snags hook from its toothy mouth

That presents a problem for a fisherman because the white shark is a formidable apex predator best known for the 1975 movie Jaws. Sudal, who caught the shark while fishing from shore, used his encounter to demonstrate how to respond to such a situation.
