Discussion Topic: Are There Breeding Cougars in Minnesota?

By Dave Hurteau

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources recently confirmed that an animal killed by a motorist south of Bemidji was a young male cougar (see our previous coverage). Since then, the agency has been fielding a barrage of letters and emails claiming that the incident proves a cougar cover-up—that is, that the DNR has purposely tried to keep secret the presence of a breeding population of mountain lions in the state.

From The Oklahoman:
Jan Cannon. . ., a geologist who lives in Tecumseh, picked up some sand in southeast Alaska more than 30 years ago. . . . When he. . . went back . . . he found something better: a potentially massive cache of gold.

Chad Love: Why Celebrities Need Real Dogs

By Chad Love

Far be it from me to make light of someone else's tragedy, but what's up with all celebrity dogs being eaten by coyotes?

Chad Love: Friend Bucks on Facebook

By Chad Love

Facebook, it seems, is becoming THE dominant social networking medium for keeping up with friends, family, business associates and people who in high school never knew you existed but for some inexplicable reason now feel compelled to be your friend. It's literally everywhere.

And with that level of saturation it was just a matter of time before Facebook- like a mutant virus- jumped species and began infecting the animal kingdom.

Tomorrow Is National Hunting and Fishing Day

By Dave Hurteau

This weekend, the nation celebrates our long-cherished pursuits of hunting and fishing, the bounty of our land’s wildlife resources, and the central role sportsmen have played in conservation—and we rededicate ourselves to building a strong future for tomorrow’s sportsmen.

This year’s honorary chairman of National Hunting and Fishing Day is country music’s rising star Luke Bryan, who joins an select group of men to take on the role, including Terry Bradshaw, Arnold Palmer, George Bush, and Jeff Foxworthy.

Obama Blasted For NHFD Proclamation Speech

By Dave Hurteau

The Los Angeles Times’ Andrew Malcolm (who I’m guessing will not be celebrating National Hunting and Fishing Day) found a little irony in President Obama’s recent salute to hunting and hunters, suggesting he sounded a bit like a certain former governor:
