Mountain lion tracks are appearing on snowfields, sand washes, and prairie mud across a widening swath of the United States, signaling a big cat quietly reclaiming ground it lost more than a century ago. From the Pacific coast to the Great Plains and parts of the Midwest, physical evidence and confirmed sightings now stretch across…
Forecasters are tracking a developing coastal storm that could grow into a powerful nor’easter for the Northeast, with the potential for heavy snow, strong winds and coastal flooding. Computer models broadly agree that a significant system will form, yet they disagree sharply on where it will go and how much snow it will lay down….
Across the United States, elk are reclaiming ground they lost more than a century ago as herds push into reclaimed coalfields, farm country, and forest edges. From Central Appalachia to the Upper Midwest, wildlife agencies and conservation partners are tracking elk that are not only rebounding, but also spreading into new valleys, counties, and even…
Few rifles command the instant respect that a Springfield M1A draws when it comes out of a case at the firing line. The mix of walnut, parkerized steel, and .308 Winchester power carries a reputation that stretches from historic battlefields to modern competition bays. For a shooter who finally adds one to the safe, it…

When you’ve got a little land, it’s tempting to think you can handle things your own way. A hole, a shovel, and a quiet corner of the yard can feel like a practical solution. But a lot of everyday items fall under local, state, or federal regulations when it comes to disposal. Environmental rules aren’t…
When the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announces large-scale firearm seizures, it usually signals more than a single investigation. It reflects broader enforcement priorities shaped by the Department of Justice and the administration in power. In recent years, those priorities have shifted toward regulating unserialized firearms, cracking down on trafficking networks, and tightening oversight of federally licensed…
Primates don’t usually top the list when you think about dangerous wildlife. Big cats, bears, and crocodiles get that attention. But if you’ve spent time in parts of Africa or Asia where people live close to wild primates, you know they can be unpredictable, territorial, and surprisingly powerful. The danger doesn’t always come from predatory…
