Update on wolf hunting
Last year Montana hunters took 166 wolves of a 220-wolf quota, and still wolf populations are increasing in the state. There is a combined total of about 1,800 wolves in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming … a lot of wolves.

Those clamoring for “universal background checks” ignore the fact we have had instant background checks in the purchase of firearms for years.

Tornado hits close to home
Laurie and I were stunned by the news of the tornado at Moore, Okla. (Our daughter Katrina, her husband Brad, and our two grandchildren live in Norman, which borders Moore.) So I called Katrina’s cellphone. No answer. I went back to the TV and witnessed the devastation, loss of life and property. Worry nagged me. Were they alright or did they get caught in the tornado?

Fire suppression a flawed strategy
Over much of the West this summer, the U.S. Forest Service has been going after forest fires that in previous years would have been allowed to burn naturally and go out on their own. The policy reversal was announced earlier this summer, and has become highly visible in a number of western states.

Ted Dowell’s fine craftsmanship
I learned recently that knifemaker Ted Dowell of Bend, Ore. died at age 83 in October. Most readers probably never have heard of him, but he was a founding member of the Knifemakers’ Guild in 1970, and I have owned one of his fine knives since the late 1970s. Dave Petzal, shooting editor of Field & Stream magazine called him “a dedicated elk hunter and good guy. If you happen upon a knife with his TMD stamp, you are looking at the best that can be done with a piece of steel.”

Fine memories of ice fishing
One February day about a dozen years ago some fishery biologists and I met about 25 youngsters at Canyon Ferry Reservoir, which is the first reservoir on the Missouri River near Townsend and Helena in Montana. This was part of the “Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs” Program that many wildlife agencies promote in schools.

Thoughts on hunting
I have loved hunting since the first days when my father took me along back in the mid-1950s, and I hunted because he hunted, and because both of my grandfathers and most of my uncles hunted. Maybe I have hunted because my ancestors going far back in time in Austria and Germany also hunted.

Amisk Lake: No better place to be
Laurie, who is on her fourth trip to Amisk Lake, Saskatchewan since I first brought her here in 1988, is in the bow of the boat and reciting a Chaucer poem from memory.

Kodiak yields abundant sea bass and crab
Boat captain T. J. Koenig takes the 28-footer into Spiridon Bay on Kodiak Island, Alaska. The day is grey and misty, typical of this part of the world. “We’ll catch some black sea bass for shore lunch,” he says.

Wyoming bighorn hunting is tough
You’ve got to admire my friend, John. He just turned 62 years of age, and he drew his second Rocky Mountain bighorn permit in northwestern Wyoming. The season opens tomorrow on the 1s of September, and John is determined to hunt without the aid of an outfitter. (John hunted this same country for bighorns in 1983 but didn’t get a shot.)

Selling a rifle, end of an era
“My son, Brandon, is looking to buy a shotgun,” Rochelle began. “He is 23 and is just now starting to hunt in Colorado.” (Rochelle is a high school friend of my wife, Laurie, and lives in Denver.)

A morning at the range
The sky is clear and bright, the air calm this early in the morning. Laurie and I unload the shooting box containing spotting scope, targets, stapler and a host of other necessities and place it on one of the concrete shooting benches. Two rifles I place in the rack, and ammunition I set on the bench. We are at the rifle range near Logan, Mont.

Katrina’s first deer hunt
We were hunting in the Missouri River Breaks in 1992 — the year that daughter Katrina turned 12 — and the idea was to get her a shot at a mule deer.

Stories of fine knives
Knives have been made by hand for centuries, but it wasn’t until guys like Bill Scagel of Michigan and North Dakotan R. H. “Rudy” Ruana started making knives available to discerning customers in the early years of the 20th Century that the knife-making art began as a commercial enterprise. Scagel’s knives today, if you can find one, sell for $20,000 or more. Scagel, who died in 1963, generally is recognized as the pioneer of modern knife-making.

Taking
A reader recently e-mailed his inventory of ammunition components — powder, primers, and bullets — to get my opinion. I replied that with some 6,000 primers, 2,500 bullets in five calibers and 23 pounds of gunpowder, he was in pretty good shape, granted he had sufficient empty casings to load.

A true rifle traditionalist
American-made big game rifles after World War II were certainly adequate but also mundane — even the superb Model 70 Winchester with its incomparable action and excellent trigger was sold with a walnut stock that was less than inspiring.

Action great at Amisk Lake
Laurie and I motor my Lund Alaskan about four miles to the northern shore of what locals call “The Big Island” at Amisk Lake, Saskatchewan. There we drift off a beach of limestone rock and in minutes each hook a four-pound pike for our first supper on this two-week trip.

Looking back on past sheep hunts
It never fails to amuse me when a bureaucrat announces to the press that he/she is “thrilled” by something that occurred in the workplace. It has been a long time since I’ve been “thrilled” by anything, particularly in the work place, but when Major Ed Johnson, U.S.M.C, called me a couple weeks ago, his news was indeed astonishing:
