Nice caribou, Sam. And congrats.

For anyone meeting him through this photo: Sam Barber is a country singer from southeast Missouri whose song “Straight and Narrow” helped put him on the map. He grew up hunting and fishing, which makes the Alaska caribou photos he posted a little less surprising than the comment section might suggest…

Some called the hunt “gross” and “disgusting.” Others wondered how a country singer posting a hunting photo had managed to catch anyone off guard. ...

Five generations don’t happen by accident.

When Dick Yuengling took over the family brewery in 1985, he faced a simple choice: grow or fold. What followed was four decades of big bets, hard decisions, and a brewing legacy that helped carry America’s oldest brewery into a new era.

His 72-hour adventure starter kit ➡️

Dillon Lamon floated 40 miles down Maine’s St. John River, camping along the banks, fishing for musky, and cooking his way through whatever he picked up at roadside farmstands. Then the weather turned, his tent snapped, and the duct tape and paracord started earning their keep. Here’s everything he packed for the trip.

A Las Vegas company called Rhea Data is proposing a 4-million-square-foot data center complex across roughly 3,700 acres of BLM-managed public land in south Ada County near Boise, Idaho.

The project is still in its very early stages. Initial plans include a natural gas power plant and a transmission line right-of-way extending into an adjacent county. The proposal will undergo environmental analysis, with a Notice of Intent kicking off the NEPA process and a public comment period.

One last hunt.

On November 30, 1942, Edward Dodge headed into a snowy patch of Erie County, Pennsylvania, timber known as Jumbo Woods. He came out with a 28 point buck that would eventually score 233 1/8 inches, one of the great whitetails in Pennsylvania history.

The next morning, Dodge reported for active duty with the U.S. Army. More than 80 years later, that buck still stands out. From Old School Sundays, an archival series presented by Yuengling. ...

The USDA has added 15 days to the comment period on its plan to completely repeal the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which would allow new road building on approximately 45 million acres of public land across the country. Public land users have until October 6 to comment on the USDA’s preferred alternative.

Good shooting, Ella 🏹 and congrats.

The internet is, however, finally getting caught up. Here’s how deer season got dragged into pop-chart wars…

Old photos of @ellalangleymusic hunting are suddenly making the rounds. But the pictures are only the latest chapter in a strange couple of weeks for the Alabama native, whose record-setting run with “Choosin’ Texas” has introduced her to a much bigger—and occasionally less friendly—corner of the internet.

Some chefs know their ingredients better than others.

Cue Austin Waiter, the chef partner at Houston’s The Marigold Club. He’s also a devoted hunter and fly fisherman, and that time in the field shapes the way he approaches the kitchen.

“When you hunt or fish, you gain an understanding of what you’re taking out of the wild, and you gain respect and appreciation for it,” Waiter says.

In last fall’s Field & Stream Journal, Waiter put that philosophy on the plate with his venison tartare: fresh venison, sauce gribiche, pickled mustard seeds, and kohlrabi vinaigrette. The recipe’s in the slides. Drop a “chef” comment & we’ll DM you the ingredients.

A tag that took 15 years to draw.

Austin Striefel had been applying for a North Dakota elk tag since he was 12. Now 27, he finally drew one with odds he says were less than 1 percent.

Striefel’s bull sported a perfectly symmetrical 6X6 frame. From tip to tip, the spread stretched 37 inches. Both main beams were well over 50 inches long. And he almost never got the chance to hunt it.
