We are inching ever closer to the fall hunting season. Now is the time to get out and do some summer glassing for those velvet whitetails. In today's episode, Jacob answers some questions about hunting public land for whitetails. Some of the questions include the following:- How do I find an overlooked spot?- What food sources should I key in on?- How do I get a deer out of a remote spot? - How does wind and thermals play a role in big public land terrain?- How do I identify buck bedding areas? - Should I worry about over hunting a spot?

As everyone knows, Sen. Lee's public land sales provision was pulled from the Reconciliation bill at the last moment, giving public lands champions a big win. However, this wasn't the first, nor will it be the last attempt to sell public lands. What led to this effort, and what can we do to quash it in the future? In a two part series, Dave and Nephi dive into those questions, and more. Part 1 focuses on the history of public lands, including the acquisition of lands, disposal of lands, conditions for admission of states to the Union, reserving lands for various purposes, ending homesteading, why we have so much public land in the west, and what sorts of events led to a desire to sell public lands. In Part II, the guys will discuss the future of public lands, and possible solutions to turn down the temperature.

Remember when Mike Lee's 3.3 million-acre land sales were making headlines, what felt like every few seconds? It was all over social media; every conservation organization was talking about it, and even friends of mine who had never been very civically involved gathered the gumption to call their senators. Well, despite the fact that as a collective, we rallied together to defeat all three of Mike Lee's most recent attempts to sell public lands, Trump's Big “Ugly” Bill passed in the Senate, and within the hundreds of pages of legislation, many public lands attacks remained. While I do my best to cover most public lands news every Friday on this podcast, hearing from others in the outdoor advocacy community can shed light on things we may not have considered and help foster conversations needed to continue this fight. That's why I am excited to introduce Land Tawney to episode 189 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast. Land is co-chair of American Hunters & Anglers, an energetic, media-based organization built on holding policy makers accountable through fast-paced grassroots advocacy. Tawney is a nationally renowned advocate of public land and wildlife. For a decade, he was president and CEO of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, where under his leadership, BHA grew exponentially, expanding to 48 states and into Canada, garnering 40,000 members, and building an army of public land defenders. Land has testified before Congress on behalf of the Boundary Waters and has served on numerous federal advisory councils in support of hunting, fishing and conservation. He has held roles with the National Wildlife Federation, where he launched their Vanishing Paradise campaign in support of the Gulf Coast, and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. His 25 years of experience as an advocate, leader and sportsman make him just as comfortable in the duck blind and trout stream as he is on Capitol Hill.

We're talking about what the Trump administration wants to do with public lands across the U.S.
We're talking about what the Trump administration wants to do with public lands across the U.S.
We've recently won a big battle for public lands, and my guest this week, Joel Pedersen [25:56] of Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, fills us in on what we've won and what we need to keep an eye on for the future. But the podcast is much more than that. Joel educates us on the differences between the major classes of public lands—National Forests, BLM land, National Parks, and Wilderness areas and just what uses are allowed on each—and who makes the decision on extractive industries in these vast tracts of land that WE as citizens and taxpayers own. In the Fly Box this week, as usual we have some great questions that might benefit your own fly fishing, including: I'm curious about who might be your successor on the podcast A listener informs us why he thinks a 4-weight rod is a better option for smaller streams than a 3-weight. Why do most of the hook eyes on flies orient horizontally? When would I want a fly with a vertically oriented eye? I have the Orvis Essential Trout Fly Selection. What else would I need for fishing the great Arkansas tailwaters this summer? Another listener asks if a 3-weight or 4-weight rod is better for small streams. When my indicator is bobbing along in riffles, does that action hurt my presentation? A good tip from a listener on how to get a stuck rod apart. What are the pros and cons of using a stand-up paddleboard for carp and pike fishing, and what brand do you recommend? I have not done well fishing as high water recedes. Is this typical?
B.R is joined by Phil the Camera Guy and Georgie of Ruinbane Hobby and The Art and War Discord to discuss his first competition shooting experience. The lads get into 'popping the cherry' and getting a competition under your belt, messing up, the 'gamified' elements of competition shooting, stacking 'procedurals', and making friends at shooting competitions. The lads also get into Mike Lee's failed attempt at liquidating Public Lands in the 'Big Beautiful Bill' as well as the last minute removal of the Hearing Protection and SHORT Act from the bill that would have removed SBR's and Suppressors from the NFA for good. Also, B.R recounts his recent experience snooping around a Military Industrial Complex Expo and his observations about the kind of people that work them.

President Trump signed an executive order establishing the “Make America Beautiful Again Commission.” It's the latest in the saga over how best to manage public lands.
In this episode of Fresh Tracks Weekly, we cover a major win for public land advocates: Senator Mike Lee was forced to removed the controversial public land sale language from the "Big Beautiful Bill." While it's a victory for now, Randy Newberg breaks down why this issue isn't going away and where to watch for future attempts to sell off public lands. We also cover several key conservation and public access updates: The EXPLORE Act has officially been implemented, expanding access to outdoor recreation, improving public land maps, and increasing coordination to combat invasive species. A collaborative project in Nevada brought volunteers and conservation groups together to install a new wildlife guzzler in Churchill County, providing critical water resources in desert habitat. The Department of Government Efficiency has canceled grants to the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation, raising concerns over the future of the "Take Me Fishing" program. Pheasants Forever has enrolled a new landowner into South Dakota's PATH program, opening nearly 30,000 acres of high-quality habitat to public hunting and recreation. Pennsylvania is on the verge of lifting its longstanding ban on Sunday hunting, with HB1431 awaiting the governor's signature. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Heading into the National Park System this summer? Going it alone, or have you booked a tour company? What do you think about how the Trump Administration and Congress are treating the National Parks and the National Park Service? Have you reported any park signs to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum that disparage Americans, dead or alive? As you can tell there's a lot going on in the parks. Some good, some not so good, and some downright bad. It's a lot to digest, and a lot to discuss. To help us gauge a sense of what's going on out there, our guest is Leigh Barnes, President of the Americas at Intrepid Travel, an Australian-based tour company that has been leading trips around the world since 1989. Part of their cache is keeping tour groups small, a dozen or so travelers along with the guides. The company also recently conducted a survey of Americans to get their sense of how politicians are treating the Parks and the Park Service that we'll discuss with Leigh.
On this episode of The Great Outdoors, Charlie Potter discusses how Congress hears the message: America's public lands are not for sale. Now, can we manage them better?
In this episode, I reflect on the Not One Acre movement spearheaded by conservationist like Ryan Callaghn, Cameron Hanes, and Randy Newberg. I speak about the selective language chosen by Senator Mike Lee in his "forfeit letter" and I explain this as an example of the god of efficiency example in a previous episode.Base Camp Countryhttps://www.basecampcountry.com/agent-jesse-knox/For Habitat Related Questions or Show IdeasJKNOX0623@GMAIL.COM
The Trump Administration has announced it seeks to revoke the “Roadless Rule,” the 2001 regulation limiting U.S. Forest Service activities in unroaded areas of our National Forests. Guests Kimberly Baker of the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC) and Scott Greacen of Friends of the Eel River join the program to discuss the history and purpose behind defending roadless areas and what this new attack on our public lands means for clean water, fish and wildlife, and recreation.More information on the history of the Roadless Rule can be found here.Support the show

In this fresh episode of Talk Dirt To Me, Logan and Bobby Lee open up the listener mailbag and dive into a great question about whether modern farming and breeding are pushing the limits of what God intended for His creation. It's a respectful challenge that sparks a lively conversation about how far agriculture has come, and where it might be going next. Of course, it wouldn't be Logan and Bobby Lee without some real-world laughs, so they swap stories about the never-ending circus that is Facebook Marketplace and how “dealing with people” online always keeps them humble (and entertained). Then they tackle the hot topic of Senator Mike Lee's public land sell-off proposal. Should public land stay in public hands? Bobby Lee's perspective may surprise folks who think they know where he stands.

Ryan Zinke is a fifth generation Montanan who serves as Representative for Montana's First Congressional District covering 16 counties in western Montana including the cities of Bozeman, Butte, Missoula, Kalispell. First elected to Congress in 2014, and serving as U.S. Secretary of the Interior between noncontiguous terms, Zinke has built a track record of accomplishments in energy, conservation, tribal and military issues. Now in his third term, Zinke is a member of the House Committee on Appropriations, focusing his legislative agenda on restoring accountability to federal spending, restoring American energy dominance, and bolstering national security at our borders and beyond. Ryan began public service in 1985 when he joined the U.S. Navy and graduated from Officer Candidate School. He was recruited to join the U.S. Navy SEALs where he went on dozens of deployments targeting terrorist cells in Asia, war criminals in Bosnia, and combatting the rise of radical Islamic terrorists in the middle east. During his military career he held a number of leadership positions including as Ground Forces and Task Force commander at SEAL Teams SIX oversaw the U.S. Navy SEAL BUD/S training after 9/11, and was Deputy/Acting Commander of Joint Special Forces during the Iraq war. In 2006 he was awarded the Bronze Star for his service. Commander Zinke retired from active duty in 2008 after serving for 23 years. Following his military service, Ryan was elected to the Montana State Senate and was twice elected as Montana's sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives. During his first two terms as Congressman, Zinke served on the House Armed Services Committee and Natural Resources Committee. As a leading member of the Natural Resources Committee, Ryan challenged the Obama Administration on their policies that locked Montanans out of public lands and introduced legislation to strengthen public access and conservation. In December 2016, Congressman Zinke was nominated to be the United States Secretary of the Interior by President Donald J. Trump and later confirmed by a bipartisan vote in the Senate.

In this week's episode, host Margaret Walls talks with Megan Lawson, an economist and researcher at Headwaters Economics, about how outdoor recreation economies support communities throughout the United States despite creating unique challenges for their residents. Many US communities that border public lands and scenic natural areas have recreation-dependent economies, meaning a majority of the local economy is driven by recreational activities and tourism. Lawson explains how recreation-dependent economies can be vulnerable to over-tourism, shortages in affordable housing, and increased risk of wildfires and floods. Lawson then unpacks the feasibility of public land sales to address challenges in making affordable housing available and describes ways to increase hazard resilience in recreation-dependent communities to protect full-time residents and visitors.

Make your voice heard by calling your Senator's office directly to let them know that your public lands are not for sale. Find your Senator's contact information here - https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm Braxton McCoy—veteran, rancher, and public lands advocate—joins us to break down a controversial Senate proposal that could lead to the largest sell-off of public lands in modern U.S. history. Introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R‑UT), the provision initially called for selling 2–3 million acres across 11 Western states, with up to 250 million acres labeled as “eligible” for disposal. Though the Senate parliamentarian recently struck it from the reconciliation bill, Lee plans to reintroduce it in narrower form, targeting BLM lands near growing cities. Braxton explains why this fight matters to hunters, ranchers, local communities, and anyone who cares about public access, habitat, and heritage—and what citizens can do to stop it.

In this episode of the No Days Off series, Drake Dearman discusses the intricacies of deer hunting, focusing on strategies for targeting specific deer, the importance of family traditions in hunting, and the challenges of hunting in Alabama. They delve into summer scouting techniques, the significance of bedding areas, and the role of trail cameras in tracking deer behavior. The conversation emphasizes the need for patience, thorough scouting, and understanding deer patterns to achieve hunting success, particularly in the early season. Takeaways Targeting specific deer requires strategic planning and patience. Family traditions play a significant role in hunting practices. Summer scouting is essential for understanding deer behavior. Bedding areas are crucial for locating mature deer. Trail cameras provide valuable insights into deer movement. Early season hunting can be more rewarding than hunting during the rut. Public land hunting presents unique challenges compared to private land. Understanding deer patterns can lead to more successful hunts. Patience and thorough scouting are key to hunting success.
