Dogs, cats, hamsters, even cows—folks are getting them all mounted these days. Some do it to remember a beloved pet, others for a bit of flair in a film or oddities shop. Whatever the reason, it’s a reminder that taxidermy isn’t just about trophy bucks or full-strut toms. Sometimes, it’s a hamster in a tiny cowboy hat.

Food earned the hard way. Responsibility carried from the field to the freezer. No shortcuts, no distance from the work, and no pretending the process is clean or easy. Doing it yourself slows you down. It builds respect, discipline, and gratitude. It reminds you that real food doesn’t come wrapped in plastic or divorced from consequence. As @fromfieldtoplate puts it: “Every cut earned, every muscle accounted for, every meal taken seriously. We do it ourselves because food should have a story, not just a label.” This is conservation with skin in the game. Photo: @fromfieldtoplate

Years ago in British Columbia, Steve found himself on the wrong end of a moose charge. This photo was snapped once the dust settled.

This is the way. A crowd gathered in Denmark to watch wild game being processed and prepared, showing the next generation where food comes from and how an animal becomes a meal. It's a practice that predates recorded history and one that's still worth passing on. 🎥: @jaegerinden_

One of our podcast listeners sent in a photo that’ll stop you in your tracks. That’s an Alaskan bull moose heart side-by-side with a whitetail doe’s. Same purpose, whole different scale. Both of ’em, by the way, make for damn good eating.

After 9/11, it felt like unity cut across every divide. Hunters and vegans. Farm kids and Wall Street suits. Churchgoers and skeptics. Neighbors and even folks who could not stand each other. None of it mattered. What mattered was carrying the weight together. That day reminded us that pride in this country is not about shouting the loudest or waving the biggest flag. It is about showing up for the person next to you. It is about sacrifice, service, and love for something bigger than yourself. This Patriot Day is not just a date on the calendar. The name itself calls us to remember what patriotism really means. It is not blind loyalty or empty words. It is unity in the face of hardship. It is courage when it is easier to turn away. It is taking care of the person next to you, even when you disagree with them. Today we honor those who never came home, the families who still carry that loss, and the spirit of unity that carried us forward. Let us live every day in a way that earns the name Patriot by standing shoulder to shoulder, caring for one another, and remembering what it means to be part of something greater than ourselves. It’s about the generations that will walk this ground after we’re gone.

Every now and then, the good guys win. Because of thousands of voices—yours included—millions of acres of public land were struck from the chopping block. The threat’s been erased from the bill. Not walked back. Not delayed. Erased. It’s the kind of victory that doesn’t make headlines, but it ought to. Because this wasn’t just about keeping some remote corner of the West intact. It was about defending an idea. That this land belongs to all of us. That access to wild places isn’t a luxury—it’s a right earned and protected by citizens willing to speak up. Teddy Roosevelt once said, “A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.” And this week, the American people proved their character. But let’s not mistake this for the end. This was one battle. There’ll be more. So take a moment. Step outside. Breathe it in. The land’s still ours—for now. Let’s keep it that way. #meateater #fueledbynature

Hounds are more than a way to find a mountain lion. They’re a wildlife management tool. They help locate a specific cat, get eyes on it, and make a selective decision. That matters in areas with growing conflicts, where lion numbers need to be managed. Video courtesy of @lostcreekoutfitters307

Each summer, sockeye salmon return from the Pacific to the rivers where they were born. In the ocean they’re bright chrome, but once they enter freshwater their bodies begin a dramatic transformation. Hormones shift, they stop feeding, and their stored energy is redirected toward spawning. Their bodies turn deep crimson while the head takes on a dark green color. Their teeth also grow longer and sharper, used to compete with other salmon for space on the spawning grounds. That red color comes from carotenoid pigments built up while feeding on shrimp and krill in the ocean. After spawning, the salmon die, and their bodies feed the rivers, wildlife, and forests around them. It’s one of the clearest examples of how a single species can fuel an entire ecosystem.

Red stag in New Zealand put on one of the more dramatic rut displays you’ll find anywhere. During the roar, mature stags spend their days grunting, posturing, and chasing hinds as they compete for breeding rights. A dominant stag will work hard to keep females close while pushing rival males out of the picture. What looks chaotic is actually a short, intense breeding window where everything gets louder, more aggressive, and a whole lot less predictable. And if you’re close enough to hear that deep grunt echo through the hills, you’re in the middle of it. 🎥: @joshs_huntinglife

Wolf management in this country tends to bring out extremes. On one end are folks who think wolves should be wiped off the map. On the other are those who believe they should never be touched at all. Neither position leaves much room for biology. In Southeast Alaska, where these photos were taken and later shared on our YouTube channel, Clay joined his friend David Benitz to trap wolves in areas where deer, moose and other wildlife have taken a real hit. As Benitz puts it, “You're not going to wipe them out. But you do have to keep them in check." Predator management is a hot-button issue, no doubt. But wildlife policy works best when it’s built on ecological reality, not personal sentiment or internet outrage.

Bot flies have a way of alarming even the most seasoned hunters. With that said, they're nothing to worry about and actually have no negative impacts on the meat.
