177 The Creek Kings Case – With Mark Williams What happens when modern poaching meets social media fame? Ohio Wildlife Officer Mark Williams shares the story of the Creek Kings case, an investigation that exposed years of illegal deer hunting hidden behind a successful YouTube channel. What began with a park visitor finding hunting equipment in a metro park quickly grew into a massive digital investigation involving trail cameras, cell phone data, deleted evidence, fake hunting locations, sponsorship money, and some very ambitious trophy hunters. Mark takes us through the case from the first clue to the final sentencing and explains how technology helped both the offenders and the officers who caught them.

What do you do when you are in your late thirties, newly aware of who you are, and embarrassed that you have not even had a first kiss yet? How do you make sense of a libido that roars to life the moment you come out, and how do you have honest conversations about sexual health along the way? Why do so many of us keep falling for straight women, and what is really underneath that pattern? And how do you set down the guilt that rises up when someone you love reacts to your truth with hurt or anger?Tonda brings decades of lived experience. Barb brings her training as a therapist and dating coach. And underneath all the laughter is the reminder we return to again and again. You are not behind. This is your timeline. There is no race to run, and there is a whole community of women who came out later in life ready to welcome you.We also have news. These conversations have grown so popular that we are expanding to twice a month, which means even more room for your questions and your stories.Queer joy is what this looks like, and we are so glad you are here.Barb's viral clap back at a troll who asked what she would do if no one ever married her.

Alien abductions, cryptid creatures, secret government programs, portals to other worlds, cattle mutilations – the San Luis Valley may be the strangest and most terrifying place you've never heard of.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/CattleMutilationsFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: We've had several episodes before about mysterious locations that are host to strange, paranormal activity. Skinwalker Ranch, for example, or The Bennington Triangle, or even the harsh terrain of Alaska. Perhaps one of the locations that appears to persistently slip under the radar is the San Luis Valley in Colorado. The region is home to very much the same variety of paranormal activity as other apparent hot spots. UFO sightings here are in abundance, for example. As are cases of cattle mutilation, sightings of strange creatures, and even alien abduction. In short, the San Luis Valley could be one of the most interesting locations in the world.LISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 2022Weird Darkness devotes a full episode to Colorado's San Luis Valley, moving from Native American creation myths through the 1967 mutilation of a horse named Lady, decades of Bigfoot encounters, and a global run of cattle mutilation cases tied to UFO sightings, secret government programs, and alien abduction.It opens with the valley's own history: the region passed from Mexican to American territory after the 1846-1848 Mexican-American War, and archaeological evidence places human habitation there for roughly 7,000 years across close to a dozen Native American tribes. Several of those tribes describe the surrounding peaks as the Sipapu, a place of creation and emergence, and the Navajo specifically name the Blanca Massif as the point where "star people" enter this world aboard what their oral tradition calls flying seed pods, a phrase researchers have since compared to modern disc-shaped UFO reports. The same traditions include legends of shapeshifting beasts roaming the valley, stories some investigators now link to the Bigfoot sightings still reported there.From there the episode turns to the case that first brought cattle mutilation into national headlines: the September 27, 1967 death of a three-year-old Appaloosa mare named Lady, discovered by Harry King and his mother, Agnes, on land belonging to his sister, Nellie Lewis. The horse's head had been stripped completely to the bone with surgically precise cuts, no blood was found anywhere at the scene despite the wounds, and a strong chemical odor hung in the air near the body. Investigators also noted that the horse's own tracks stopped abruptly about 100 feet from where she was found, that scorch marks including a distinct circular pattern marked the ground nearby, and that Agnes King recalled an unidentified object flying over her house in the days before the discovery. The Aerial Phenomena Research Organization investigated, and pathologist Dr. John Altshuler, examining the remains, found the heart, lungs, thyroid, and abdominal organs removed with medical precision and the body completely drained of blood. Alamosa County Sheriff Ben Phillips attributed the death to a lightning strike without visiting the site, and the Condon Committee later reported no evidence of abnormal causes, addressing neither the missing blood nor the burns. Press coverage mistakenly named the horse Snippy, after her sire, and the name stuck permanently. Researcher Christopher O'Brien would go on to document more than 200 further mutilation reports in the San Luis Valley alone, estimating the true, unreported total closer to 1,000.Next comes a survey of the valley's stranger residents, starting with a 1992 sighting known regionally as the Woman in Red, in which a driver picked up a hitchhiking woman who vanished after he noticed she had goat-like legs and hooves. The same stretch of the episode covers a wave of Bigfoot encounters that struck a seven-square-mile radius between late December 1993 and early January 1994, including a December 31 sighting with footprint tracks clear enough to show toenail impressions and partially captured on police video, plus a 2000 report from two ATV riders near Blanca Peak who tracked a seven-foot, brown-haired creature before losing it in the trees. Christopher O'Brien's files also record a white buffalo that appeared and then vanished without a trace near Winchell Lake in the early 1980s, a 1993 wave of legless, slug-like creatures locals call prairie dragons, and a report of an out-of-place platypus. The segment also revisits the Old Scratch legend, a century-old story of a well-dressed stranger who appears in a cantina during Lent and reveals claws, cloven hooves, and a tail before fleeing when confronted, last reported in 1984, then covers mid-1960s witness Robert Whitting, who claimed a craft pulled alongside his car and telepathically warned him of a dead black dog in the road ahead. It closes at the modern UFO Watchtower, a platform built for its 360-degree view of the valley that still draws UFO sightings and researchers year-round.The episode then widens its scope to cattle mutilation as a global phenomenon, opening with a 1606 case recorded in the court records of England's King James I describing sheep found with only their tallow and inner organs removed, and a Texas horse whose entire nervous system was surgically extracted in the same territory that saw a wave of sheep mutilations in 2013. It cites an FBI report from the late 1970s tallying roughly 8,000 mutilations in Colorado alone and lays out the pattern researchers keep finding: animals drained completely of blood, organs removed with surgical precision, unusual chemical readings in tissue samples, and a consistent absence of scavengers at the scene. From there it crosses to Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, England, where in 1985 a father and son watched a silent, triangular craft with three underside lights hover over a field, followed two days later by a duck hunter who saw a similar object stop over grazing cattle and fire light beams in his direction as he approached.A string of British cases follows, beginning with the 2010 mutilations of sheep near Shrewsbury, England, where animals were found with faces skillfully stripped of flesh and drilled holes where their brains had been removed, witnessed in part by a 16-person investigative team who reported both UFOs and apparent laser-style attacks on the flock in March of that year. It moves next to a 2011-2012 wave of mutilated horses across the United Kingdom, tentatively tied by some researchers to an equine herpesvirus type 1 outbreak rather than to ritual dates such as St. Winebald Day, then to Wales, where the Animal Pathology Field Unit spent twelve years, from 2001 to 2013, investigating sheep mutilations and, through investigator Phil Hoyle, concluded extraterrestrial involvement was the most likely explanation. The segment also returns to the 1977 discovery of 15 mutilated wild ponies in Cherry Brook Valley, Dartmoor, found by Alan Hicks, a case later investigated by Jonathan Downes of the Center for Fortean Zoology, who reported suspicious interference and elaborate hoax calls resembling Men in Black activity. It ends with Rob Lea's account, given to researcher Nick Redfern, of a Bristol-based group he called the Cult of the Moon Beast, allegedly performing animal sacrifices in Newport, England since the late 1980s to summon entities from a coexisting dimension on behalf of wealthy patrons.Back in North America, the episode covers Manuel Sanchez's discovery of a fourth mutilated calf on his Colorado ranch in December 2009 and Tom Miller's similar March 2009 find near Trinidad, Colorado, both missing tongues, udders, and eyes with no blood or tracks at the scene. It continues with Kit Metzger's decades of mutilations at the Flying M Ranch in Arizona, dating back to the late 1970s and clustering between June and October, and with the 1978 case of Manuel Gomez's bull in Dulce, New Mexico, examined by officer Gabriel Valdez, whose lab tests found the heart and liver reduced to a mushy, peanut-butter texture with abnormal zinc, phosphorus, and potassium levels and no copper at all. The segment covers a summer of 1990 mutilations on Richard Fazio's land in Vancouver, Washington, which Oregon State University matched to laser-type electrosurgical injury, alongside Christopher O'Brien's own assessment that mutilations are "more complicated than aliens" and more likely tied to covert environmental monitoring. It closes with 2013 sheep mutilations in Texas tha
Two Growls One Roar is back with a full Carolina Panthers news roundup as training camp rolls on! We're breaking down the biggest storylines swirling around the team right now — from a wild "what if" scenario involving a former Panthers quarterback, to roster moves both in and out of Charlotte.First up: Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox dropped a take that has Panthers fans buzzing — could Baker Mayfield actually make his way back to Carolina? Mayfield is in the final year of his deal in Tampa Bay and has reportedly been open about feeling disrespected after extension talks stalled out. Knox floats the idea that if Bryce Young regresses in 2026, the Panthers could revisit a reunion with Mayfield, especially given his prior relationship with head coach Dave Canales, who was Mayfield's offensive coordinator back in 2023. Of course, Mayfield's first stint in Carolina back in 2022 didn't exactly go according to plan — he started just six games and was released before the season ended. We break down whether this reunion actually makes sense or if it's just outside noise.Next, we cover Jadeveon Clowney's move back to Houston. The Rock Hill, South Carolina native and former No. 1 overall pick has agreed to terms with the Texans, the franchise that drafted him back in 2014. Clowney spent the 2024 season with the Panthers, tying for the team lead in sacks, before landing in Dallas last year. We look back at his time in Carolina and what this move means for his career.We also dig into a potential free agency fit that has Panthers fans excited — tight end Zach Ertz. NFL.com named Carolina as the top landing spot for the veteran pass catcher, and it's easy to see why. The Panthers haven't had a 50-catch tight end since Greg Olsen back in 2019, and Ertz posted exactly that many catches for Washington last season. Could he be the trusted veteran target Bryce Young needs heading into a pivotal year?On the roster front, we cover linebacker Jared Bartlett signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars just a week after being waived by Carolina. We go over his college career and what led to the move. And we close things out with a look at Xavier Legette's personal Sports Illustrated feature, where he returned to his hometown of Mullins, South Carolina, for a horseback and ATV ride with quarterback Bryce Young — opening up about losing his parents and his goal of remodeling his family's home.As always, we bring you Panthers news with real analysis and real perspective — no fluff, just growls.

How much revenue are gym owners losing because of failed payments, expired memberships, missed follow-ups, and outdated door-access systems? In Episode 468 of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Jonathon Klem, founder of ManageMemberships, to discuss how independent gyms, martial arts academies, fitness studios, gun ranges, and other membership-based businesses can simplify their operations, improve member retention, and stop revenue from falling through the cracks. Jonathon explains how ManageMemberships brings recurring billing, digital waivers, member communication, QR-code check-ins, customer relationship management, and 24/7 facility access together in one system. The idea began after Jonathon suffered a meniscus injury and suddenly had extra time away from Brazilian jiu-jitsu. While helping friends who owned a powerlifting gym and a gun range, he discovered that their payment, membership, point-of-sale, and door-access systems could not communicate with one another. After months of trying to connect the existing tools, he decided to build his own solution. In this episode, you'll learn: How gyms lose revenue through failed payments and outdated processes How members can purchase a day pass, pay, sign a waiver, and enter without staff present How QR-code access can replace shared door codes and physical key fobs Why automated follow-up is essential for improving member retention How owners can receive immediate alerts when a member's access is denied How CRM triggers reconnect gyms with members who stop attending How ManageMemberships pricing and door-access hardware work How the system can be installed in facilities throughout the country Why membership software can work beyond traditional fitness centers How customer feedback influences the development of new features How Jonathon is bootstrapping and scaling ManageMemberships How Brazilian jiu-jitsu helped Jonathon transform his health and find community What goes into organizing an amateur kickboxing promotion Connect with Jonathon Klem and ManageMemberships: Website: https://managememberships.com/ Book a Free Demo: https://managememberships.com/book-demo LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathon-klem Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathonmklem/ ManageMemberships LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/managememberships Email: jon@managememberships.com Pricing, plans, hardware, and features may change after the recording of this interview.

Terrified Together with Chilluminati Podcast | Paranormal Podcast We teamed up with Jesse, Mike, and Alex from the Chilluminati podcast for this Terrified Together, and the five of us tackled two listener submissions that had the whole group going back and forth on where the line is between what the mind creates and what's actually out there. First up was Ash's story. Ash experienced what we believe was sleep paralysis and woke up with a prophetic certainty that a tall blonde woman with a knife was walking toward their house, and then years later in rural Alabama with their partner Elliot, started hearing wrong animal sounds, seeing glowing eyes at the tree line, and voices calling from the woods before a very bad night with an ATV and a gunshot made everything a lot more real. Then we got into Candela's story from New Mexico, where a 19-year-old college student near the Mexican border watched strange lights moving in sharp, jagged patterns across the sky on two separate nights. And then on the third occurrence, blacked out mid-sentence while fully awake and alert, only to come to three hours later sitting upright in the exact same position with her textbook still open on her lap and no explanation for where those hours went.

Dude, this episode hit different. I sat down with Jacob Albaugh Tenet, founder of Tenet Products, and what started as a guy from Ohio racing four-wheelers turned into one of the wildest entrepreneurial grinds I’ve heard on this podcast — and that’s saying something. Jacob was a national champion ATV racer before he ever picked up a rifle. Then he had a kid, watched his buddy crash at 45 mph, and walked away from racing cold. He poured that same obsessive, pro-level mentality into western hunting — and that’s where this story really takes off. After blowing out his eardrums on a mule deer at 32 yards, losing an animal off a cliff because he couldn’t spot his own shot, and surviving a blizzard SOS situation in Idaho that he says changed his life, Jacob became convinced there had to be a better way to hunt suppressed without sacrificing accuracy. So he built one. In his garage. With a grinder and a welder. Five years, 87 iterations, seven pending patents, and a lot of 20-hour days later, Tenet Products exists — suppressors that combine brake-level recoil control with real suppression, at weights (5.1–5.9 ounces) that sound made up until you see the data. We talk about the midnight idea that led to the patented Horizon Brake System, why he thinks outsiders solve problems industry veterans can’t, the torture testing that’s put over 1,400 rounds through a single can, and what happened when Tenet showed up to Joseph Ewing’s massive 145-suppressor shootout in Montana against every serious competitor in the space. This one’s part origin story, part engineering deep-dive, part conversation about grit, faith, and what it actually takes to build something from scratch when nobody in the industry believes you. If you’ve ever thought about running suppressed in the backcountry, or you just love a good underdog build story — this is a must listen. This Episode Is Brought to You By: onX Hunt Remember the old Garmin Rino days when you could see your buddy’s location on the map out in the field? onX just brought that idea into the modern era — and made it way better. Head into the onX Hunt app, go to the new GoTrack section, and hit “Share Your Location” to see exactly where your hunting partner is on the map in real time.

For decades, suppressor design has forced a trade-off — get recoil control from a brake, or get hearing protection from a suppressor, but rarely both without adding serious weight. Tenet’s approach of engineering the suppressor itself (not just the brake) for shot control is what let them break that curve. Passion-driven problem solving can outperform decades of industry expertise. Jacob had no suppressor background and no entrepreneurial ambition when he started — he was just trying to fix his own hunting setup. His point that someone solving their own problem out of obsession will often out-innovate someone doing it as a job is a great reminder for anyone building something in any industry. Recoil management matters more than caliber size for accuracy in the field. The current trend toward smaller cartridges (6.5s, 6mm) exists because lower recoil equals better shot placement. Jacob’s insight — that you can get that same manageability out of a 7 PRC or 300 PRC with the right muzzle system — means hunters don’t have to give up knockdown power to get accuracy anymore.
Since it's a holiday weekend, this episode's blurb was written by A.I. (American Intelligents) Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America! And hey America, what better way to celebrate than with an American podcast about the world's most famous American group, The Beatles!! We salute these Beatles American hometowns: John - Menlove Ave, New York City Paul - Forthlin Drive, Carolina Shores, NC George - Wavertree Hall Farm, Virginia Ringo - Dingle, Idaho And since The Beatles have been #1 in America's heart since 1776, scientific statisticians - using recent census figures combined with ATV sales and the market price of halibut - have proven that 9 is truly a magical number. Por ejemplo: 9x4=36 There are 4 Beatles but really there are 36! So this week the Untitled Beatles Codpiece performs as a throuple (T.J., Tony, and Producer Casey), discussing the 90s era Threetles (9-3=3) in their critique of Disney+ (in association with Good Times Video)'s Beatles Anthology Episode 9. Is it truly worthy of a Revolution? Hork down a hot dog sandwich in a muenster truck while hurling a beanball at your Mom! It's American Independence Day served Beatles-style, made possible only by Calderstone Imperial Musical Enterprises Incorporated. Because the Red Album, White Album and Blue Album = Now and Then Forever.

Some stories leave you speechless, and this is one of them.In this episode, I sit down with Janairy Quintero, whose life changed forever after what should have been a simple family camping trip. When an ATV accident left her hand hanging by only a few veins, she made one split-second decision that likely saved her daughter's life. What followed was nearly two years of reconstructive surgeries, relentless infections, unimaginable pain, and ultimately the heartbreaking decision to amputate her hand.But this conversation isn't about tragedy.It's about resilience. It's about perspective. It's about refusing to let life's hardest moments define who you become.Janairy shares what it was really like to relearn everyday tasks with one hand, how she navigated the emotional weight of losing part of herself, why she never blamed her husband for the accident, and the mindset that allowed her to find gratitude even in the middle of unimaginable suffering.Whether you're facing trauma, loss, chronic illness, disability, or simply walking through a difficult season, I believe Janairy's story will remind you that your circumstances don't have to determine your future.In this episode:The family camping trip that changed everything in secondsThe terrifying ATV accident that nearly cost her lifeEnduring 20+ surgeries before making the decision to amputateLearning to write, eat, work out, and parent with one handWhy your greatest setback doesn't have to define your futureKey Moments:00:00 The ATV Crash That Changed Everything03:45 My Hand Was Hanging by a Few Veins...07:16 Why I Chose to Amputate My Hand10:29 The Split-Second Decision That Saved My Daughter12:25 Why I Never Blamed My Husband14:21 Living Through 20+ Surgeries16:35 Learning to Live With One Hand18:18 The Everyday Things You Never Appreciate20:39 What Everyone Takes for Granted23:01 Did This Happen for a Reason?25:10 Helping Other Amputees Find Hope27:09 Why Losing a Limb Made Me Stronger29:04 The Mindset That Changed My Life31:17 Helping My Husband Let Go of the Guilt33:19 Working Out Without a Hand35:45 When Your Injury Becomes Your IdentityConnect with Janaira Quintero:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janairy_q/Connect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Taylor Parker Maternal Instinct — Wade Griffin walked into a bank with an eight-million-dollar check from a woman who worked part-time at a staffing agency. He didn't question it. He'd already bought a ninety-two-thousand-dollar truck, an ATV, and a car for his mother — all on the assumption that Taylor's inheritance money would arrive any day.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the Wade Griffin question head-on in this conversation: victim or enabler? The answer isn't as simple as either side wants it to be. Wade was warned repeatedly — by Taylor's ex-husband, his own mother, his friend Stephanie, Taylor's aunt — and every time, he chose to believe the woman sleeping next to him instead.The documentary shows a man grappling with guilt. But it also shows a man who testified "this is all happening way too fast" — meaning he felt the red flags, acknowledged them, and kept moving forward anyway. His community made their verdict without a courtroom. People walk the other way when they see him. He lost his livelihood. Reagan Hancock's family named him in a wrongful death suit.This interview explores what makes someone override their own instincts when the lie is offering them exactly what they want. Wade dreamed of owning a ranch. Taylor promised him one. The question Shavaun puts on the table — whether Wade's willingness to believe was trust or something closer to choice — doesn't have a comfortable answer.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

EV hype is easy. Living with an EV in Houston is where things get interesting. We talk honestly about what happens when charging infrastructure feels scattered, pricing feels unpredictable, and road-trip convenience still matters in a city built on long drives and cheap gas. From orange extension cords in the garage to the reality of finding fast chargers when you're in a pinch, we break down why many drivers are rethinking their next move.Rochelle Salinas, Vice President of the Houston Automobile Dealers Association, joins us with a dealer update and a behind-the-scenes look at what's coming next for the Houston Auto Show. We get into early planning, new theme days like Military and First Responders Day and a dedicated Family Day, plus the push to make VIP night bigger by teaming up with the boat show. We also dig into the “tow and go” lifestyle idea, including hands-on towing education and the tech that's changing how people hitch, back up, and haul safely.Then we pivot to practical buyer advice: Jeff shares six SUVs experts often flag for reliability concerns, safety worries, and painful depreciation, and we talk about how dealership product specialists help customers learn today's fast-changing infotainment systems. We wrap with a fun local twist from Mike Marrs: off-road parks and ATV rentals near Houston where you can get your “hidden dirt” fix without owning or maintaining a machine.Subscribe for more Houston car talk, share this with a friend shopping for a vehicle, and leave a review with your take: are you team hybrid, EV, or gas?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?

A Tennessee man heads to his family farm for what should have been an ordinary weekend. His truck is left behind, his valuables are untouched, and his ATV is eventually found in a place that makes almost no sense. More than fifteen years later, despite massive searches and thousands of volunteer hours, no one has ever found a trace of him.Sources: WBIR, Perfex, Charley Project, Strange Outdoors, Wikipedia, Southern StrangeSupport us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month, with benefits starting at the $3 tier!Follow us on Instagram at offthetrailspodcastFollow us on Facebook at Off the Trails PodcastIf you have your own outdoor misadventure (or adventure) story that you'd like us to include in a listener episode, send it to us at offthetrailspodcast@gmail.com Please take a moment to rate and review our show, and a big thanks if you already have!**We do our own research and try our best to cross-reference reliable sources to present the most accurate information we can.

What does it take to raise a field trial puppy that develops into a National Champion? In this episode, I sit down with amateur field trialer John Bacik to discuss the puppy-raising and foundation behind his remarkable success. This year, John's older Vizsla Shelby won the Vizsla Club of America's National Gun Dog Championship, while his younger dog Taylor won the Open Derby and earned her Amateur Field Championship at 17 months. What's especially interesting is that John doesn't have many of the resources people often assume are necessary for success. He doesn't own horses, an ATV, or a large training property. Instead, he relies on access to a hunting club, a loft of homing pigeons, an e-bike, and a clear vision for what he wants his dogs to become. We dive into how he structures a puppy's first year, the bird work he introduces early on, and why his approach differs from what many handlers are doing. Whether your goal is field trials, hunt tests, or simply developing a confident bird dog, you'll find practical insights into how early experiences can shape a dog's future performance. If you've ever wondered whether you need professional-level resources to produce a high-performing bird dog, this conversation may change your perspective. You can reach John by email at imageline@sbcglobal.net. -- The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is part of the @herupland Podcast Network and sponsored by @onxhunt.
Residents of Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska can now use four wheelers to subsistence hunt in the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The change was announced by the U.S. Interior Secretary during a visit last month. As the Alaska Desk's Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, residents of the North Slope village have been fighting for this decision for decades. Marc John Morry has been hunting caribou around Anaktuvuk Pass since he was a child, but in the summer and fall, most of the land around the village has been off limits to hunters like him. That is because residents were not allowed to use four wheelers in the majority of the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The all-terrain vehicles are the only way to access the roadless preserve surrounding the village. Last month the U.S. Department of the Interior announced it would restore off-road-vehicle access to the park. Morry says he is excited. “This is life changing. I only wish my grandparents were here. Now that we’re able to access the lands, we can learn ourselves and relearn what our ancestors taught us about certain areas that always have caribou.” The Trump administration has been working to expand access to hunters on off-road vehicles in protected federal lands across the country. However, a National Park Service (NPS) spokesman for the Alaska region said this action is specific to subsistence hunting in the Gates and does not apply to sport hunters. And it comes after decades of back and forth on the issue. Before Anaktuvuk Pass became a permanent settlement about 80 years ago, the Nunamiut people were semi-nomadic and moved throughout the Brooks Range. Morry says they were searching for their main food source – caribou. “We heard many stories from our elders about hunting grounds that we weren’t able to access, which they remember before we even formed a community.” The federal government established the Gates of the Arctic around Anaktuvuk Pass when it passed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Residents were still given the right to subsistence hunt using snowmachines and motorboats, among other traditional transportation methods, but the rule did not mention ATVs. And 40 years ago, new park guidance interpreted the law to ban hunts on ATVs because they were not used traditionally. Lillian Stone is the city mayor of Anaktuvuk Pass. She says the ban created invisible boundaries for residents relying on hunting for survival. “It was like we were prisoners in our own land for 40 years, where before that it was, we could hunt anywhere, we could travel anywhere.” Local Native corporations exchanged lands with the Park Service in the late 90s, which made additional areas within the park available for subsistence ATV hunts. Still, residents could only access about 1% of the Gates of the Arctic. Stone says residents and local leaders have been advocating for ATV access to the park for subsistence for decades – but with no progress. “We felt like it wasn’t getting anywhere, and we weren’t getting the answers that were needed.” Last year, local leadership traveled to Washington D.C. and asked the Interior Department to restore ATV access to the park. This May, the department announced the decision to do that. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wrote in a social media post that “no one knows or cares for this land more than the people who live here.” Honored to be with the Nunamiut people in Anaktuvuk Pass to celebrate freedom & self-determination. After 40 years, we are restoring ORV use in Gates of the Arctic National Park for subsistence hunting, because no one knows or cares for this land more than the people who live… pic.twitter.com/m39PGbIP9C — Secretary Doug Burgum (@SecretaryBurgum) May 18, 2026 A department spokeswoman said in an email the old ban was inconsistent with supporting subsistence. She said NPS will consult local communities within six months to establish the new rule. Kristen Morry is an Anaktuvuk Pass hunter and a mother of two. She says the announcement means a lot for her and her children. “I have no words for what just happened, because it just makes me really emotional. … I’m excited to be out there and to no longer have to worry about when we have to stop, because I’m out there year round as well.” NPS said local hunters should contact the Gates of the Arctic for current information on using ATVs while the regulatory process is underway.

Ashley Jones competed for six years in Division I distance running with one arm—and she insists that was never the point. If all running taught her was how to go faster in a race, she missed everything.Fresh off a trip marking ten years since the ATV accident that took her right arm at 14 (three months after losing her father), Ashley joins Dominic to discuss her farewell to college running. Across three programs in six years–from High Point's humble grind; to Tennessee's private jets; to a homecoming at Colorado–-she lived what she calls three different lives. She walks us through each chapter: the mistakes and identity-building at High Point; the leap of faith and breakout performances at Tennessee; and a final injury-riddled Colorado season she nearly walked away from over the winter before deciding to finish the race.Along the way she gets candid about the parts of her story most people never ask about: why she has never covered her arm or worn a prosthetic; what it costs to share the most vulnerable thing about yourself with strangers; why she stopped training on Sundays in one of the most competitive environments in sport; and why victim mentality, in her words, robs people of life and opportunity. She challenges an NCAA team culture fading toward semi-pro. She tells rising freshmen to build community fast and advocate for themselves. And she hints at what comes next: writing, speaking, an email list, and saying yes to crazy adventures—because running was the vessel, never the destination.Tap into the Ashley Jones Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

This week on the podcast, Sarah and Teresa debrief their epic double-family hangout and all the beautiful chaos that came with it. From the sight of Tez and Mark's 30ft RV parked right out front of Sarah and Eric's house for two days straight, a glimpse of full-on family commune living of our dreams, to skate park adventures, evening walks, ATV rides, Bodhi & Wyatt's budding band career, the girls dive into the kids' dynamics, the dreamy days in Santa Barbara, Sarah's nanny Sonya's chef-level cooking, and all the magic that unfolds when the Olsens and Palmers collide. Tez also unpacks the full RV trip from Vancouver to LA, just her, Mark, her mum, and the five kids thrown into tight living quarters. From campground stopovers that felt straight out of another era, to middle-of-the-night customs drama, to sleep-deprived kids, delirious adults (including Teresa's mum's unwavering go-with-the-flow vibes), chronic overpacking, nonstop boardgaming (the stuff of Tez's dreams), and a strict “no ferals” level of hygiene (aka no shits on the floor!!), it was a whirlwind from start to finish. Equal parts mishaps, magic, and mayhem, laughing through the chaos and somehow making core memories along the way. Resource Links: lovewell.

A proposed rule from the U.S. Postal Service could have major implications for who gets to vote by mail, including in Wisconsin. A former government building has been sold in the hopes of bringing Amtrak to Madison. And, we'll hear about new rules in effect for ATV and UTV riders in the state.
Every week, I log tons of hours behind my desk, at my computer. I'm pounded by blue screen time every single day, but I have to recharge. Every Saturday, for the last 3 years, I've run to my ranch in Oklahoma. It's a quiet, and beautiful space with winding roads and rolling plains. There I have ponds, ATV roads, a river, cattle, fish, and everything else you can imagine. It's my workplace for my body. While I work out every single morening, getting outside and getting dirty is required. There's always something to collect, piles of wood from fallen branches or trees, fires to start, cows to check on, and grass to cut. I have no shortage of things to do. I leave my phone and take off to the wide open spaces every single week. I've found it's been hugely beneficial for my mental health and my physical well-being. It keeps me connected to to planet and I look forward to the end of the weekend when I'm physically tired from the work, but mentally recharged to solve problems during the week. At minimum, I would suggest you spend a full day doing some type of manual labor every single week. It's juicing for the soul. Get you some.

Habitat Podcast #387 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Cale Giddens of Plot Blaster! We discuss: Plot Blaster was built to solve common ATV sprayer frustrations. A boomless sprayer can reduce broken nozzles and bent booms. Staggering food plot planting can spread out weather risk. Small sprayer setups make it easier to manage plots in phases. Liquid fertilizer and lime are becoming more useful for food plotters. Drought years often come down to getting seed up and praying for rain. Clover can be king if you have the patience to establish it. Throw-and-mow remains one of Cale's favorite planting methods. Food plot screens can make deer feel safer in open plots. Pushing too close to bedding can move mature bucks off your property. And So Much More!

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary: Dave opens the show talking about Susan's eighth birthday and the family trip to Music on the Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont for the Phoenix and Divided Sky festival featuring Karina Rykman, Eggy, Anders Osborne, Daniel Donato, Natalie Cressman, Jennifer Hartswick, and members of Dogs in a Pile. Dave talks about trying to get the entire crowd to sing Happy Birthday to Susan and gives updates about Patreon, Narcan and fentanyl test strip giveaways, YouTube support, and the upcoming Dopey Short Film Festival sponsored by Mountainside Treatment Center. Dave reads a heartbreaking email from a listener celebrating nearly 60 days sober after quitting freebase coke, Xanax, and Suboxone while grieving the loss of his beloved dog Hesh. Dave reflects on his own fears about losing Winnie and spirals into thoughts about mortality, dogs, and a brass Winnie lamp he bought Linda for her birthday. Ben Croxton calls in with a classic IV Dopey story involving Googling “where to buy heroin in Atlanta,” instant meth psychosis at a job site, a dude hiding in a closet all day, and a cocaine-induced hallucination involving a kangaroo and imaginary police cars. The main interview features Keta Lauren and quickly becomes one of the darkest and most powerful Dopey stories in recent memory. Keta talks about growing up in extreme poverty in Northern California with a schizophrenic addict father and alcoholic mother, bouncing through foster homes, fighting constantly, and eventually landing in California Youth Authority “gladiator school.” She recounts horrific trauma including her father accidentally causing a house fire that killed four of her siblings after leaving a candle burning while gambling. Keta describes getting kidnapped while hitchhiking at age 11, doing meth as a child, surviving brutal YA prison fights, a devastating ATV accident that nearly killed her, and eventually falling into LA drug culture, sex work, heroin addiction, and trafficking. She explains how manipulation, survival, and trauma blurred together while trying to escape dangerous situations and abusive relationships. The conversation shifts toward recovery as Keta talks about finally hitting an emotional and spiritual bottom after years of heroin and meth addiction. She describes seeing herself deteriorate physically and mentally, eventually surrendering and finding treatment after a religious TV preacher bizarrely spoke directly to her situation. She later discusses relapse, AA and NA, psychedelic healing with psilocybin and ayahuasca, bipolar disorder, trauma therapy, and her belief that recovery can take many different forms. The episode closes with Trinity from the Beach reflecting on the interview playing a vulnerable acoustic cover of “Good So Bad” while apologizing for missing Dopey Zoom to record it.
