From the Desert News:

A 78-year-old man was hospitalized Friday with injuries he received when he was attacked by a black bear in a remote area of eastern Utah. . . .

Telegenic, rock-jawed survival studs are all the rage on television. Bear Grylls  and Les Stroud are the most prominent. (Of the two it seems most F&S readers prefer Les to  Bear citing the fact that Les seems more genuine and doesn't make the rest of us feel fat and inadequate when he takes off his clothes.)

However, judging by your comments, many of you dislike survival shows altogether. While they can be ridiculous, I think anything that gets kids off their butts and interested in the outdoors can't be all bad.

From NewHampshire.com:

“Sportsmen are needed to help prevent the confirmation of Cass Sunstein as head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

Because this position has oversight of regulations including those that have an impact on hunting, sportsmen have reason to be concerned about the nominee’s stated views that hunting be banned if its only value is that of recreation.

I've been blogging for Field & Stream for a year now, and to be honest it's grown a little stale for me. It's a lot of work to come up with a topic, a news item or a link every day and then figure out some way to make it relevant, thought-provoking or funny for the F&S readership.
