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.

In this episode of Meet the Farmers, host Ben Eagle sits down with Alex and Emily Crawley, co-directors of Grazing Management Limited, to explore the concept of conservation grazing and their journey starting their business. Based in the Forest of Dean, the Crawleys are using native breed cattle, sheep, and goats to deliver environmental benefits on land managed by charities, government agencies, and private owners.Neither Emily nor Alex began their careers in agriculture. Emily comes from a background in the charitable sector (and also as a pilates instructor!), while Alex transitioned from a military and diplomatic career into land management, later earning a Graduate Diploma in Agriculture and becoming a Nuffield Scholar.Together, they've built a contract grazing business that earned them the British Farming Awards' New Entrant accolade within just two years. This conversation dives into three core themes: the power of farming to support environmental goals, the realities of starting a land-based business without owning land, and the bold personal journeys that led them to agriculture.

His work now focuses on helping people identify blind spots, implement systems, and focus on return on effort—not just tradition or busyness.In this episode, we discuss:

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.

It's fair to say that the nation's public lands, those managed by the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service and other federal land-management agencies are at risk under the Trump administration. There's no hyperbole in that statement if you pay attention to what the administration already has done in terms of downsizing those agencies' workforces, and when you listen to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum say he wants to open more public lands to energy development and mining. Federal lands in the United States are owned by all Americans, but at various times there have been efforts to wrench those lands away from the government to give to the states or sell off. Walt Dabney spent his professional career protecting public lands during his decades-long stint with the National Park Service and then as director of the Texas State Parks. Now he is working to educate Americans on their vested interest in those lands and what could be lost if Congress or the White House tries to get rid of them.

In a stunning shift of federal power, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) now holds sweeping authority over the U.S. Department of the Interior — including the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and more. DOGE appointee Tyler Hassen, a private oil exec, has been handed the keys to over 500 million acres of federal land with zero oversight.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Thomas Mlsna, owner of The Untamed Ambition to talk all about holistic land management! Thomas highlights the three pillars of his business: whitetail management, homestead habitat, and agricultural production, and how the three often overlap when working to improve the health of a property. The guys discuss what a holistic management approach really looks like, and how that ties in to creating better whitetail habitat and hunting opportunities. Thomas discusses the effectiveness of rotational grazing, the importance of native plants on the landscape, how more biodiversity leads to better nutrition for wild game, the impact oak savannas really have on a landscape, how he uses OnX at a professional level, and much more!  Huge thanks to Thomas for coming on the show this week!

Are our wild horses in Wyoming's checkerboard lands about to disappear forever? The Bureau of Land Management plans to remove thousands of wild horses from Adobe Town, Salt Wells Creek, and Great Divide Basin starting July 2025, effectively zeroing out entire herds despite ongoing legal challenges.   In this episode, I break down the two public comment periods currently open for these herds and provide specific guidance on how to submit effective comments. I explain why your individual comments matter, what points to emphasize, and how to make your voice heard before the April 28th and April 30th deadlines. With holding facilities already overcrowded and the future of these horses uncertain, your participation is crucial to prevent what could become a death sentence for nearly 5,000 wild horses.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/51

On today's newscast: Glenwood Springs City council approved an updated tax incentive last week for the construction of another extended-stay hotel at Glenwood Meadows; Gov. Polis vetoed a bill last week critics said would hurt the public's ability to access government records; and the Trump administration has announced its intent to repeal a landmark Bureau of Land Management rule that placed conservation on equal footing with other uses of public lands.

Tracy Stone-Manning was the Director of the Bureau of Land Management under President Biden, where she oversaw the agency's 248 million acres. Her career began in Montana, running the Clark Fork Coalition in Missoula for almost a decade and heading up the state's environmental quality agency under Gov. Steve Bullock. She is now the president of the Wilderness Society. She sat down with Montana Public Radio's Ellis Juhlin to discuss what's happening and how land management has changed from her time directing the BLM, to now.

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are continuing our series on land and food strategies - how to best setup your land for whitetail success. In this episode I'm back with Neil Hauger, he's a land man who specializes in improving hunting land and also selling hunting properties. In this episode we look at the most beneficial improvements you can make to a property to quickly increase its value - its hunting value, and its value to a potential buyer.  Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What are the first things to do on a property - the low hanging fruit, to make it increase value quickly?• Why should you document and inventory all land improvements, and how and what should you document?• What does Neil say about building Booner Buck properties vs. ones that produce 130 inch bucks?• Whats a regenerative food plot, and why does he think this is the way to go?• What is so important about the “story” of your property, and why should you really think about that?• What's a steel buffalo, and how can this easily improve habitat?• What is Neil's top tips for preparing to sell vs. just hunt a property?And a lot more!Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: Deer Science Deep DiveEpisode # 86Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Neil HaugerIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate)• Deer IQ Free Test HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/ • Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Land Management STARTER KIT HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-management-starter-kit/ Neil's Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-american-land-man/id1628613197  DEER IQ Services:  • The PAID Deer IQ Aptitude TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/  • For interest in a our Advanced Whitetail Workshop: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/  • Other Services - land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/    More from DEER IQ:  Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/

President Donald Trump's early moves have sparked fears that the United States will suffer a brain drain of scientists, researchers and scientific programs. Experts are warning that if there is a brain drain, that could hurt America's reputation as a beacon of scientific inquiry — it could even impact the US economy. POLITICO's Zack Colman breaks down what Trump is doing and the potential impacts. Plus, POLITICO reported Friday that more than 5 percent of the staff at the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management are taking voluntary severance. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's public lands update covers developments from April 3 through April 11, with a quick rewind to catch a few major stories we missed last week (because hey, I'm just a girl, and the news cycle waits for no one)Topics Covered This Week:On April 3rd, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins issued a memo that designates 112 million acres of National Forest lands as part of an “emergency” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum quietly issued Order No. 3426, requiring all national park closures or service changes to be approved by political leadership in D.C. (even those made for urgent safety reasons.)One day after the order, National Park Service employees received another “Fork in the Road” buyout offer, asking staff to resign by midnight on April 9.During the Senate's budget reconciliation vote-a-rama on April 6, a proposed amendment to ban the sale of public lands failed, 48 to 51. On April 10, the House passed the reconciliation in a 216 - 214 vote.On April 8th, the Department of the Interior announced that the Colosseum Mine in California can resume mining operations under its existing Bureau of Land Management-approved plan. On April 8, 2025, the Interior Department also revealed a set of actions to revitalize the coal industry, emphasizing coal as a cornerstone of American energy dominance.The next day on April 9th, the Department of the Interior announced more than $13 million in grants aimed at revitalizing coal country by reclaiming abandoned mine lands in North Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.On April 9th, over 60 outdoor industry companies have come together under a new coalition, Brands for Public Lands, to fight the increasing threats facing America's wild landscapes.

Nevada is one of America's most diverse states for insect life but many of these species are at risk of extinction with no statewide protections. And as the City of North Las Vegas begins planning for a new development on 7,000 acres of land received from the Bureau of Land Management, how should we ensure the safety of endemic species? Could these protections actually streamline development? Co-host Sarah Lohman sits down with Amy Alonzo from The Nevada Independent. Alonzo explains a proposal in the legislature to radically reclassify insects so they can be protected as imperiled wildlife — and why this bill has had trouble passing before.

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast I'm with Neil Hauger who is a land man, he specializes in finding hunting properties, and making them not only good for hunting, but also very profitable. This episode will resonate with anyone that has thought about buying their own hunting land, but maybe isn't sure if they can afford that, and also for people curious about how to make their land potentially worth much more to sell. Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• How does Neil say anyone can get into owning land without much money?• Why should you consider looking at hunting land as more of an investment than a hunting property?• What are 5 key things to look for when searching for the perfect hunting investment property?• What is his rule of 3 when it comes to establishing land diversity?• What is a 1031 exchange and how can it be used to get better and better properties without getting hammered by capital gains tax?And more!Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: Deer Science Deep DiveEpisode # 86Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Neil HaugerIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate)• Deer IQ Free Test HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/ • Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Land Management STARTER KIT HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-management-starter-kit/ DEER IQ Services:  • The PAID Deer IQ Aptitude TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/  • For interest in a our Advanced Whitetail Workshop: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/  • Other Services - land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/    More from DEER IQ:  Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/

How would you feel if your tax dollars were being used to send wild horses to slaughter? In a landmark legal victory, wild horse advocates recently shut down a government program that was doing exactly that. The Bureau of Land Management's Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) was paying people $1,000 per horse to adopt untamed wild horses, with devastating consequences.   I'm joined today by Suzanne Roy and Amelia Perrin of American Wild Horse Conservation, who led the investigation and legal challenge that brought down this harmful program. This victory not only saves countless horses from a terrible fate but also establishes an important precedent for wild horse protection going forward.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/50

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are in our series on land and food strategies - how to best setup your land for whitetail success. In this episode I'm with Kevin Vistisen of the deer hunter podcast for part 2 of our talk - part one is on his podcast (# 359 at the deer hunter podcast https://deerhunterpodcast.libsyn.com/359-the-next-generation-of-whitetail-management ) and we're looking at the macro view of land - potential solutions to deer management issues affecting many states, specifically using the example of Michigan. This is an important talk about land and our use of it that applies to virtually any state on the management level.  And there's a glitchy part of Kevin's audio because he lives in the boonies, so beware of that about 12 minutes in - I think you'll figure it out, you guys are a smart audience.  Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What does Kevin say the general fix is for hunters taking back control of our natural resources - which have been overtaken by bureaucracy and anti-hunters? • What does Kevin say about the nature of social media in the hunting space and what we need to be very careful about when using it? • What is Kevin's experience on APR's and what are his thoughts on their ability to change a deer herd?• What do I think is the true root issue in states like Michigan, and the true fix that we need to make deer hunting great again?• What are some potential private access solutions for areas that are off-limits for most hunters due to leases and lack of hunting permission.And much more!Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: Deer Science Deep DiveEpisode # 85Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Kevin VistisenIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate) SHOW LINKS: • PART 1 of podcast - Deer Management for the Next Generation pt. 1:  https://deerhunterpodcast.libsyn.com/359-the-next-generation-of-whitetail-management• Deer IQ Free Test HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/ • Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Land Management STARTER KIT HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-management-starter-kit/ • Kevin's Links - DH3 Scents:  https://dhthree.com/   DEER IQ Services:  • The PAID Deer IQ Aptitude TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/  • For interest in a our Advanced Whitetail Workshop: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/  • Other Services - land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/    More from DEER IQ:  Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/ 

The guys (and Will Wing) were joined this week by Monte King, PLS, Supervisory Cadastral Surveyor at Bureau of Land Management. Monte shares insights into his upbringing, career, and passions. Growing up between the Wind River Reservation and various locations in Montana, Monte reflects on how these experiences shaped his perspective and career path. He shares memories of his childhood, outdoor adventures, and the lessons he would pass on to his younger self. With a surveying career spanning 17 states, he discusses the challenges of working in different terrains, memorable boundary projects, and the excitement of recovering original monuments. Monte emphasizes the importance of mentorship in the industry, offering advice to young surveyors and sharing key takeaways from his presentation at the 2023 Idaho Society of Professional Land Surveyors conference. He also delves into his work on the Cadastral Classroom Investigation, a project published by the BLM, and his involvement in hands-on field exercises with homeschool students. Additionally, Monte reflects on how his ranching background has influenced his work ethic and recounts fascinating stories, including trading a pocketful of rocks for the Marlboro Man's pitbull. The conversation also touches on his advocacy for tobacco harm reduction and his message about safer nicotine alternatives. This episode offers a deep dive into Monte's journey, highlighting his dedication to surveying, mentorship, and making an impact in the field. Music by TOOL!
