HUNTING
Flashlight, batteries key to a good hunt
I shot my second (and probably last) Rocky Mountain bighorn ram at 11,500 feet elevation in the Carter Mountains of northwest Wyoming in 1996. It was a bit after 5 p.m., when my partner and I began skinning, quartering and removing backstraps from the ram’s carcass, and by 7 p.m., we had our packs loaded with all the meat, cape and horns and began the descent toward timberline and my partner’s pickup a couple miles beyond that.By Bernie Kuntz , March 12, 2010

Mixing outdoors and technology
Is technology steering the future of the outdoors? The obvious answer is yes, but the direction is not always so clear. Using a GPS device to mark a sandbar that might be a safety hazard to boaters is a good direction. Using a computer linked to the Internet linked to a webcam watching over a deer feeder in a distant state, allowing someone to “hunt” a farmed deer from their office, is not a good direction.By By Doug Leier, North Dakota Outdoors , March 05, 2010
Some good news for gun owners
A few interesting events took place in the West last week that you probably did not see on the evening news. The first was a law initiated by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), and presumably signed by President Barack Obama, that went into effect last week, allowing loaded firearms in national parks for the first time in three decades.By Bernie Kuntz, Outdoors , March 05, 2010
