My ideal snowbird calendar includes a southward migration in the fall, right around Thanksgiving

My money is on the strange, wolf-like canid killed by a rancher near Denton being an oddball, mange-riddled, feral mutt

Spring is the season I wander back to my local fly shop, where I’m compelled to nose around for unessential trinkets

This time of year I lean toward the smoker

If a pothole lake was a TGI Fridays for trout, scuds would be the bacon-wrapped shrimp

What brought down Montana’s caribou?

I once convinced myself that rummaging the bargain bin at the fly shop was somehow a measure of character

There was a time when fly fishing was a small, niche activity

I was shaken back to awareness recently on a flight from Texas to Montana

For the first time since fall you can cast a single fly, throw tight loops and catch trout

Felt-soled wading boots have long been the preferred option for anglers

The snowpack numbers in Montana are amazing

A friend’s travel trailer was stolen from their driveway recently, while they slept inside their home

I’ve lived in places with winter for the last 24 years and I’ve only gone down once

Griz recovery is a testament to human tolerance, our love for nature and the brilliance of the North American Model of wildlife management
