Typically, Alaska bush planes don’t offer complimentary lost baggage recovery but Callen Davis is one hell of a bush pilot.
Tent, 7 days of food, glass, gear, extra layers & the sleeping bag still almost got left behind…
@donnie_vincent probably would’ve hunted anyway. That’s part of hunting caribou in Alaska and why he keeps going back. Caribou don’t reward hurry, and they don’t tolerate forcing outcomes. The longer he’s hunted them, the less he worries about controlling the hunt and the more he trusts the country to give something back when it’s ready.
Check out “The Way Back” — Donnie’s film about why he keeps returning north.

On May 7, cancer succeeded in doing what Illinois mobsters, the People’s Army of Vietnam, the Viet Cong, and various Middle Eastern terrorists, failed to do, by ending the life of Philip Caputo. Phil, like Ernest Hemingway, was a major American writer who loved the outdoors, particularly hunting, and wrote about it. Field & Stream was lucky enough to have him grace its pages in many issues. One of his finest contributions, “The Old Man and the Mountains.”
In his 84 years, Caputo wrote about everything. He began as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune in 1968 and won a Pulitzer Prize in 1972 for exposing political corruption. He continued for the Tribune as a foreign correspondent until 1975, covering most of the really unpleasant places in the world, and survived both a kidnapping by terrorists and a bullet in the ankle. He covered the fall of Saigon in 1975, and then retired from reporting to write full time. In the course of his career, he produced 19 books, both fiction and nonfiction, as well as magazine articles that are probably beyond count, and he was much in demand as a lecturer and commentator.
But what he will be remembered for is A Rumor of War, which was published in 1977, and is the account of his combat tour in Vietnam as a Marine Corps infantry officer. It’s been translated into 15 languages, has sold 2 million copies, and is the story of a journey from idealism to bitter disillusionment. Rumor, virtually since its publication, has been acknowledged as one of the two or three greatest books on Vietnam.
Phil was a man of extraordinary courage and limitless talent. May he rest in peace; God knows he’s earned it.

Throwback to a few unbelievable hawgs from the IGFA record book — some of the biggest bass ever caught.

In the past, finding 50 morels took her three separate hunts.
This spring, she picked that many on day one. She’s hunting around 2,700 feet in Washington, where the timing finally lined up: fresh rain, warming ground, calypso orchids blooming, miner’s lettuce coming up, and morels pushing hard along gravel roads catching sunlight. And if you’re new to mushroom forums, apparently forgetting to include your region is a cardinal sin.

Field & Stream previously reported on a Public Land Order that removed protections from Alaska’s famed Dalton Highway—a vast swath of federally managed public land known for caribou hunting and prime access to wilderness fishing. In addition to clearing a path for increased development, the PLO declared the lands eligible for state transfer.
Yesterday, the Department of the Interior fulfilled its promise, announcing in a press release that it has officially conveyed 1.4 million acres of BLM lands along the Dalton Highway to Alaska.

That walk up on a bird gets a lot of people. Quiet all morning, then suddenly your hands don’t know what to do. Wait until she gets her first Public Land buck.

Bama Slama.
Savannah Woods landed a 72-pound blue catfish on April 30th while bouncing cut skipjack on the bottom of the Tennessee River near Guntersville Dam. The fish stretched 50 inches long with a 38-inch girth and could’ve shattered an IGFA women’s line-class record by more than 30 pounds. Instead of certifying it, Woods released it back into the Tennessee River. The fight took 15 minutes. Her son had just landed a 42-pounder moments before.

The Eagle gives you what you earn. Three days in the Colorado mountains, hot tented in the snow with elk chili on the fire and cold waders every morning before first light. We chased rainbows and browns on the Eagle River. Each day ended the same: riverside - cooking what we caught under a pink sky.

Controversial Bureau of Land Management Director Pick Nears Senate Confirmation...
With Steve Pearce’s nomination looking more likely by the day, BHA @backcountryhunters President and CEO Ryan Callaghan said his organization is ready to help guide him in his role as BLM Director, should he be confirmed by a full Senate vote.
“This is an incredibly tough ride, managing for the many, not the few, and balancing the demands of extraction against a landscape that … produces output of critical need—clean air, water, food, and good old American freedom,” @olcal406 Callaghan told Field & Stream in an April 29 statement. “I’m confident that Mr. Pearce understands how valuable our BLM lands are. The BHA membership will let him know, should he forget.”
If you’d like to share your opinion about Pearce’s pending nomination with your Senator, call the capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.
