Wolverines

by Wayne Mumford September 1, 2011

A little off topic but this film is an interesting look at the mythical little carnivore with a really big attitude. I’ve never actually seen one, I’ve run across their tracks in the fall in the Logan Pass area of Glacier National Park. I think he was hunting Ptarmigans. Tasty little birds. A creature of [...]

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth…

by Wayne Mumford February 16, 2011

So I’m getting a little off track here (doesn’t this guy fish?) but it’s winter, the weather and the legislature are putting me in a foul mood, so I feel I must lash out at something and I have no representative pinata’s to swing a stick at… Today Governor Schweitzer fired a shot over the [...]

Yesterday Montana’s controversial wolf hunt came to an end as the years quota’s for the various hunting units were met; two weeks before the official seasons end. I did however take the precautionary step of protecting my good friend with some blaze orange on the final day just in case. Nature has imbued my friend [...]

The dawn of fishing?

by Wayne Mumford July 23, 2009

Even the denizens on a nearby branch of our presumed common evolutionary tree are apparently in the early stages of developing sport fishing. This Orangutan was photographed in Borneo attempting to spear fish in a river after observing the local natives in their fishing endeavors. I assume this chap was fishing for sport or at [...]
