Send us a textModern technology is transforming the way we understand and manage deer populations, and Jack Huston of Midwest Deer Surveys is at the forefront of this revolution. Armed with cutting-edge thermal drone equipment that boasts four times the resolution of standard models, Jack travels across the heartland helping property owners unlock the secrets of their land.What began as a deer recovery service quickly evolved when Jack recognized the powerful data these aerial surveys could provide. His passion for deer management merged perfectly with this new technology, creating a business that now serves landowners from Ohio to Wisconsin, South Dakota to Arkansas, and beyond. The results have been eye-opening: most property owners underestimate their deer populations by approximately 25%, a figure that remains remarkably consistent across different regions.During our conversation, Jack explains how these surveys inform critical management decisions, often revealing that properties have too many does for optimal trophy buck production. "It's like fishing a pond," Jack explains. "Your land can only support so many deer, and we need to have the right number if we want quality." He shares fascinating insights about habitat quality, noting that farms with dense, high-quality timber consistently hold more mature bucks than open properties. This makes perfect sense when you understand that deer are actively feeding throughout the day and need both security cover and accessible browse.Perhaps most intriguing is Jack's observation about predator impact. Properties with more open terrain often have lower deer densities, partly because coyotes can hunt more effectively without dense cover protecting fawns. Yet these same properties sometimes produce the largest bucks - Jack's personal best came from just such a farm. For serious hunters and land managers, thermal drone technology represents a quantum leap forward in understanding what's happening on their property and how to optimize it for wildlife.Whether you're considering purchasing hunting land, wondering if you should harvest more does, or simply curious about what's actually living on your property, this episode offers valuable insights into how modern technology is changing the wildlife management game.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has recently leased out more than 5,000 acres of public land for geothermal energy in Malheur County. Leasing of the land is the first step in developing geothermal resources - specifically, the production of electricity from heat within the earth. But how common is geothermal energy in the U.S. and what potential is there for its widespread use  in Oregon? Adam Schultz is a geophysics professor at Oregon State University and the president of Enthalpion Energy LLC, a geothermal company. He joins us to answer these questions and more.

In this episode, Jon Collins and Corey Groff discuss using remote presets for coyote stand efficiency.

Wow, this conversation with Robin Waugaman truly had my mind crackling with connections and ideas! Her way of drawing the connections between stewardship of land, horses, and her own body and being is powerful, and I had a few big aha's during our chat, as you'll hear, including an epiphany on why we might use force with horses (even if we don't want to), especially in our "pusher" culture. We also get into what she means by regenerative ranching and how it works, how she manages her own nervous system with her horses ranging on 1,800 acres and what lessons she's learned about supporting the land to return to itself more fully.  Also, show of hands, who wants to go to New Mexico after listening to her description of where she lives? It sounds heavenly! Join us for this mind-opening conversation reminding us that how we do one thing is how we do all the things, and that healthy relationship to land is supportive to all our other relationships, especially with our horses. Robin serves as the Land and Animal Steward at a regenerative ranch in Taos, New Mexico, where she also work as a horse-human relational facilitator at Taos Equine Connection. Her work focuses on the collaborative regeneration of 1,800 acres of high desert ecosystem through integrative land management practices that center the roles of equines—horses and donkeys—as active agents in ecological restoration. Grounded in a non-hierarchical, multispecies perspective, her approach draws from a diverse background in ecology, French classical dressage, somatic experiencing, and equestrian sport. She is particularly interested in the relational dynamics between species and how embodied attunement, agency, and choice contribute to resilience across systems. Her practice weaves scientific inquiry with experiential knowledge to explore new models of interspecies connection, land stewardship, and ethical cohabitation.

Rep. Logan Monson talks with Redge Johnson, director of Utah's Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office, about Utah's continued fight to keep public lands in public hands, managed locally. Not from Washington.They break down the differences between Senator Mike Lee's federal public lands proposal and Utah's own plan to create a state-run Department of Land Management. Rep. Monson and Johnson discuss the state's recent lawsuit over unappropriated lands, the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case, and the impact of federal road closures, monument expansions, and top-down restrictions on rural Utahns.This episode highlights Utah's vision for conservation through access, multiple use, and responsible local stewardship, not fences and red tape.

You've probably been to a national or state park in California. But have you ever hiked in BLM land?  15% of California –  15 million acres – is  public land operated by the federal Bureau of Land Management. This is land that no one wanted: not beautiful enough to be deemed a national park and too remote to be developed. As such, they are under threat of being exploited for their resources or sold off, which Republicans have threatened to do. In his new book, “The Enduring Wild: A Journey into California's Public Lands,” Josh Jackson shines a light on the beauty of these “common grounds” that belong to all of us and the perils that they face.

SHOWDOWN AT BUNDY RANCH (INSERT PLAYER HERE) Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyEpisode #:  Original Broadcast Date: 04/12/2014 They were cattle ranchers—hardworking Americans living on the same stretch of Nevada land since the 1870s. But in 2014, the Bundy family became the face of a standoff that shook the nation. When Cliven Bundy stood up to the Bureau of Land Management over disputed grazing rights, the federal government responded with overwhelming force—dozens of armed agents, snipers, and helicopters descending on the family's private land. Roads were closed. Protesters were tased. And at the center of it all: a father defending his God-given right to his property—and a son who watched it all unfold. In this explosive archive interview, Elizabeth talks with Dave Bundy, son of Cliven Bundy, about the chilling moment the federal government surrounded their home like a war zone… and what really triggered the siege. This isn't just a story about land. It's about liberty, intimidation, and the terrifying scope of federal overreach. FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio.

There’s a livestock sale going on now, but it’s not your typical animals on the auction block. The Bureau of Land Management within the U.S. Department of the Interior is hosting its Online Corral auction featuring wild horses and donkeys. Stephanie Hoff learns about it from Jason Lutterman from the National Wild Horse and Burro Program. The online sale is July 14-21. One of the pick-up and adoption events is on Sept. 12-13 at the Ozaukee County Fairgrounds in Cedarburg. Lutterman says these animals have gone on to be good workhorses, therapy companions, or show winners. Wild horses don't have any "bad habits" that previously trained horses may have.

Geomagnetic storms have been occurring with more frequency this year, and it could be causing problems for production agriculture in unlikely areas. Ben Jarboe discusses it with Shawn Dahl, the service coordinator at the space weather prediction center. He says some of the effects these storms have on agriculture here in the US causes damage passersby may not see. For example, Dahl says that one storm last May caused a 500 million dollar loss in the corn industry alone. His goal now is to be able to predict these storms and have weather broadcasters spread the news to mitigate the losses they cause.Stu Muck says today won't be too bad with temps in the upper 80's.

The U.S. House of Representatives considers H.R.410, the Alaska Native Vietnam Era Veterans Land Allotment Extension Act of 2025, on July 14, 2025. H.R.41 extends the Alaska Native Vietnam-Era Veterans Land Allotment Program for another five years to ensure the Bureau of Land Management can reach out to Alaska Native veterans who are entitled to land selections. Following consideration, the House approved H.R.410 under a suspension of the rules. The bill would still need to be approved by the U.S. Senate before it can be signed into law.

Have you ever felt your heart breaking in slow motion? That's what it's been like spending time with the Salt Wells Creek wild horses this year, knowing what's coming. In this episode, I share stories from my final trip to see these incredible horses before the Bureau of Land Management plans to begin a massive roundup that may zero out the herd completely.   Salt Wells Creek is home to one of the last remaining populations of wild Curlies in Wyoming. I take you with me to high meadows and quiet waterholes, where stallions protect their families, foals play in the sun, and a surprise encounter with an abandoned filly sparks an attempt to intervene. This episode is a tribute to their spirit and a reminder of what we stand to lose—and why we must keep showing up.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/55

"God bless America, let's save some of it." — Edward Abbey One of the senators Utah sent to Washington has slipped in some very dangerous legal language into the big federal budgeting bill, language that’s vague enough to allow the beginning of the sell-off of our Western Public Lands. Including National Forests. Not including national parks, monuments, etc., but very much including Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service lands. In fact, that’s what this senator, “Based Mike Lee,” titled this section of the Senate legislation: MANDATORY DISPOSAL OF BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT LAND AND NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM LAND. No, sorry, not gonna happen. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/desertoracleSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textAuthor-photographer Josh Jackson grew up camping the Midwest's state-parks but it wasn't until he had moved to California, and after the birth of his third child, in 2015—when every California campground was booked solid—that a friend uttered the words “BLM land.” One spur-of-the-moment trip to the Trona Pinnacles cracked open a new universe: 15 million acres of under-sung, “left-over” public land in California alone. Over the next decade Jackson made pandemic-era pilgrimages to deserts, sagebrush plateaus, and the Lost Coast's King Range, keeping a field journal, hauling a camera, and gradually uncovering two intertwined stories:A Scrappy, Essential Landscape – Bureau of Land Management parcels host wild‐and‐scenic rivers, endangered species, Indigenous cultural sites, and 60+ first-come camps where solitude still reigns.A Perpetual Target – From the Sagebrush Rebellion to Senator Mike Lee's 2025 amendments that would auction up to 1.2 million acres, BLM lands survive only by “enduring” repeated sell-off and extraction threats.The Enduring Wild braids those threads—personal awakening, ecological portraits, Indigenous history, and political urgency—into 100 photographs and 45 k words aimed at turning anonymity into affection. Jackson's thesis echoes Baba Dioum: “In the end, we will conserve only what we love.” His book is an invitation to know, love, and therefore defend America's most overlooked public commons.Come down to the Henry Miller Library - browse and buy your copy ofThe Enduring Wild. Wallace Stegner;These are some of the things wilderness can do for us. That is the reason we need to put into effect, for its preservation, some other principle that the principles of exploitation or "usefulness" or even recreation. We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope.https://psych.utah.edu/_resources/documents/psych4130/Stenger_W.pdfSupport the show_________________________________________________This podcast is a production of the Henry Miller Memorial Library with support from The Arts Council for Monterey County!

In this episode, Jon Collins is joined by Rich Gonzales talking about coyote calling and the X360.

Episode Summary: In this riveting episode, host Chris Clarke covers the urgent issue threatening millions of acres of public land in the United States. Buried in what Chris calls the "Bloated Billionaire Bailout," a budget rider proposed by Senator Mike Lee targets up to 3 million acres of public lands for sale. These lands, managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, span 11 western states. Chris urges listeners to take action by calling their senators to stop this dangerous rider that undermines public access to these vital natural resources. Throughout the episode, a comprehensive discussion highlights the broader impacts of this potential land sale. Chris articulates how the rider threatens essential services, cultural survival, and the ecological balance of these desert lands. The discussion touches on contrasting visions for the use of public lands, with Mike Lee's push for privatization and development versus the preservation and conservation ethos championed by many environmentalists. Chris also outlines the economic dimensions of this conflict, emphasizing the potential loss of public use areas that provide significant recreational and environmental benefits to local communities. Key Takeaways: Legislative Threat: A budget rider by Mike Lee threatens to privatize millions of acres of public lands in western US states, including critical desert ecosystems. Conservation vs. Development:The episode explores the tension between conserving public lands for ecological, cultural, and recreational purposes versus commercial development and privatization. Call to Action: Chris Clarke urges listeners to contact their senators to oppose the rider and protect these invaluable public lands. Impactful Example: Tucson's Sabino Canyon serves as a hypothetical example of the possible negative outcomes from land privatization, jeopardizing local public access. Political Dynamics:There is bipartisan opposition to the rider, with some Republican senators indicating they cannot support a bill that includes this provision. Public pressure has led to some revisions of the original rider, but significant threats remain. Notable Quotes: 1. "We're talking about a public lands fire sale, and commercial interests are first in line." 2. "Mike Lee doesn't consider non-consumptive use as a real use of public lands.

There are some in Congress who think we should have a fire sale on public lands. Places across national forests and the Bureau of Land Management that politicians think should be offered for sale, either to try to adopt President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that would continue to offer the biggest tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans and corporations or simply because they don't believe there should be public lands. This legislation, sponsored by U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah, could be the most devastating public lands measure to come before Congress. If passed, it could dramatically reshape the West. While Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says many of the lands that could be affected are often "barren land next to highways with existing billboards that have no recreational value," many others disagree. There's a hew and cry across the West, that many of these lands are used by hunters and anglers, by birders and backpackers, four-wheelers and by weekend campers. To get into the weeds of this legislation our guest this week is Mike Carroll, director of the BLM program for The Wilderness Society.

The auction landscape is constantly evolving, and Pifers Auction is at the forefront with their revolutionary approach to equipment sales. Their recent conversion of the Upper Midwest sale from a timed online-only format to a live auction with simulcast bidding has proven extraordinarily successful, drawing over 1,600 registered bidders from across all 50 states and countries including Mexico and Peru.This broadcast takes you behind the scenes of what makes a modern auction work in today's global marketplace. A Ditch Witch boring machine that sold for $127,500 exemplifies how specialized equipment can now reach buyers from coast to coast, while a matched pair of 2023 John Deere 8R410 tractors commanding $365,000 each demonstrates the continuing strength at the premium end of the market. Perhaps most impressive was a 2024 John Deere 335P track skid steer with just 275 hours bringing a record-breaking $94,000.The wheel loader market has shown exceptional strength, with machines headed to buyers as far away as Peru. What makes the new auction format particularly valuable is its flexibility - sellers no longer need to transport large equipment to a central location, saving significantly on freight costs while still benefiting from competitive bidding. As regional manager Chris Baer explains, "Not everybody wants to bring their equipment in. Freight's expensive...so why can't we sell it there and have a live auction?"After several years of equipment appreciation during the pandemic era, the market has now stabilized into a pattern of normal depreciation - yet remains remarkably strong. The gap between new and slightly-used equipment values continues to create opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. Whether you're looking to acquire premium farmland like the upcoming 839-acre property bordering Custer State Park (with views of Mount Rushmore) or planning to consign to their classic car auction in Bowman, Pifers continues to connect exceptional properties and equipment with the right buyers.Ready to experience the power of a truly global marketplace for your land or equipment?

Josh Jackson, author of the new book "The Enduring Wild," found a hidden refuge in the mountains and prairies of California's 15 million acres of Bureau of Land Management lands. In times of crisis and uncertainty, we often turn to nature for solace and perspective. These overlooked "commons," dismissed as leftover lands too harsh for homesteaders and too ordinary for national parks, offer free camping, wildlife corridors, and democratic access to wilderness. They now face threats from proposed selloffs and budget cuts.

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee is proposing a bill to sell off hundreds of millions of acres of public lands across the West, including 18 million acres in Utah. On Monday, an updated version of the bill was leaked, revealing changes that would mandate the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service Land in the next five years. Sen. Lee has argued that this land would be used to develop affordable housing. But critics are calling his bluff, pointing out that the bill includes no such requirements and overall, has very few limitations on how that land could be used by new owners. - Show Notes - • Map of possible BLM & USFS land for sale under proposed bill https://wilderness.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=821970f0212d46d7aa854718aac42310 Source: The Wilderness Society

Amid ongoing federal efforts to revitalize the timber industry, an annual intertribal timber symposium took place in Montana last week.

Until last week, Kevin Heatley was the Crater Lake National Park superintendent. He’d worked in the private sector for much of his career, but for most of the last decade he’s been in leadership positions with the federal government, including with the Bureau of Land Management. He had only taken the Park Service job in January, a move he made in anticipation of possible BLM cuts. But last week, he chose to resign, saying he could no longer be party to President Trump’s dismantling of the federal government. He told OPB that while park services will be affected, it was the impact on the physical and mental health of employees that he felt he could longer be complicit in. Heatley joins us to tell us more about his time at the helm of Oregon’s only national park and his hopes for federal government employees in the Trump administration.

In this episode, Jon Collins and Tory Cook discuss June Coyote Calling

On December 6, 1977, a car pulled past the conspicuous “No Trespassing” and “Beware of Dog” signs at the perimeter of Arthur Allen's oceanside ranch, about ten miles south of Bandon. Three men got out and approached the house. Allen, who had obviously been watching them approach, promptly emerged from the house and ordered them off the property. “We're from the Bureau of Land Management,” one of them said. “We wanted to talk to you about negotiating to buy an easement across your land so visitors can access BLM property on the New River.” Allen relented and let the men approach the house, where he demanded to see their identification. Two of them promptly whipped out their wallets and showed their badges; the third, whose name was Larry Gano, said he'd left his wallet at home. It was a lucky break for Gano that Allen didn't push it. Because he wasn't with the BLM. He was with the United States Customs Service. And he was there because he was pretty sure Allen was running a smuggling operation. Spoiler alert: Oh yes, he was.... (Bandon, Coos County; 1970s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/20-07.new-river-drug-bust.html)

In this compelling episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes Congressman Jeff Hurd, a freshman lawmaker representing Colorado's vast and beautiful Third Congressional District. Congressman Hurd shares his journey from humble beginnings bagging groceries in Grand Junction to earning law degrees, practicing energy law, and now serving in Congress. Drawing on his experience as a small business owner and father of five, Congressman Hurd discusses how bad energy policy acts as a hidden tax on rural Americans—and why reversing those policies is essential to economic opportunity. He outlines his legislative efforts to return the Bureau of Land Management headquarters to Colorado, promote responsible energy development, and fight for rural families who want to stay, work, and raise their children in the communities they love. The conversation also dives into the importance of making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. Congressman Hurd explains how those tax cuts have directly impacted working families and small businesses in his district and why allowing them to expire would be a devastating tax hike on the middle class. From energy independence to economic freedom, Congressman Hurd brings a clear-eyed focus and a personal commitment to building a better future for rural America. Don't miss this inspiring and informative episode.

On October 11th, 1923, deep in Tunnel 13 high in the Siskiyou mountains of Oregon, four men were killed in a train robbery gone wrong. The trio responsible, the DeAutremont brothers, had planned the crime and dreamed of stealing their way to a life of riches but made a series of fatal mistakes that would haunt them forever. What has gone down in Pacific Northwest history as “the last great American train robbery” is also recognized as the birth of modern American forensic criminology.

Public lands and waters have risen to the forefront of hunter-angler issues in 2025, from Utah's attempted steal of 18.5 million acres of land owned by us all and managed by the Bureau of Land Management to divestment and sale of public lands being floated in Congress and the shrinking of the Federal workforce charged with overseeing the health of our shared resources. The daily flow of information has been a constant -- one that's hard to keep up with. In this special episode of the Podcast & Blast, Hal sits down with BHA President and CEO Patrick Berry and Director of Government Relations Kaden McArthur to sort through the maze and learn what's really going on. And most importantly, we learn of BHA's critical work in advocating for our shared lands and waters and the role we all play as citizens of the United States in deciding the future of our public lands. This is an episode not to be missed for any hunter, angler or outdoor recreationalist.
