A sea lamprey doesn’t just kill a fish. It latches on with a mouth full of teeth, drills a hole, and feeds until there’s nothing left but a hollowed-out version of what used to be. One lamprey racks up a body count measured in pounds—forty or more, to be exact.

No bones. No jaws. Just raw, prehistoric horror. Nature’s got a dark side, and it comes with suction.

This is the kind of strength you don’t fully appreciate until you see it up close. A grizzly working over a dead bison like it’s no more trouble than a sack of potatoes. 

That jaw can crush bone with over 1,100 pounds of pressure, and the bear’s built to haul meat through country most folks can’t hike. This is nature at full throttle.

Bears are shaking off the winter, which means it’s time to stay sharp in grizzly country. This footage from @grizkid, a bear biologist, comes from the site 26 at the Soda Butte Campground in Montana’s Gallatin National Forest. 

Site 26 serves as a grim reminder of what can happen when things go wrong—back in 2010, a grizzly and her cubs pulled Kevin Kammer from his tent, ending in tragedy. Out here, respect and vigilance aren’t just suggestions—they’re survival tactics.

The moose made its getaway as the grizzly lost interest and turned to grazing on clover south of the campground.

The joke turned into reality. Then again, when you've got @clay_newcomb hunting a bear, you’d be a fool to bet against him.

Catch the latest episode of Rinella's Field Notes where he talks his best bear hunting moments, available now on the MeatEater YouTube channel.

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.

The work doesn’t stop once the critter’s on the ground. Fleshing and salting hides is about respect — making use of every part, just like it ought to be. It’s slow, messy work, but that’s the price of doing it right.

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.

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.

Over half a million acres of public ground—BLM and Forest Service land—is being eyed for the auction block. The kind of country where we hunt, fish, and lose ourselves in something wild.

This land doesn’t belong to politicians or profiteers. It belongs to the American people.

To urge lawmakers to oppose the sale of our public lands, visit the link in our bio.

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.

If you’re breaking down your own deer this fall, take a page from @danielleprewett. She walks you through how to make the most of every cut from the hind quarter—no waste, just good meat and good eating.

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.

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.
