“Controversial or not, the unflinching message of conservation biology is that rewilding is not only a scientific necessity but also an ethical responsibility. Biologists no longer shrink from the overtly moral argument that humanity has an obligation to protect and restore wilderness.” – Caroline Fraser

Perfect July evening for some practice

A little outdoor shooting in the summer. Perfect weather tonight to let some arrows fly and stretch it out to 60 yards. We have just over one month until our black bear hunt, and we’ve been preparing all year, so now it’s just time to keep things tight.

This looks like it might be from the 1800s but I just took it out the window of the plane yesterday. No filter. Straight up old timey feel just like the mountains in the photo. I did get out for a great hike and hunt today in a similar landscape though. . #hunting #hiking #conservation #hunterconservationist #whatgetsyououtdoors #mountains #ocean #explorenl #explorecanada #publicland Spend time following rabbit tracks after work looking for fresh supper. It's amazing how quiet a forest can be in the winter. Tracked a porcupine for a while today through some trees with a bunch of fresh sign but the wind had erased any tracks there might have been so was never able to catch up with it. Will have to head back another time and keep looking. Great hike up a mountain in some super deep snow though! . #hunting #hiking #conservation #hunterconservationist #whatgetsyououtdoors #mountains #ocean #explorenl #explorecanada #publicland Are there species we shouldn't hunt? . Some people feel that certain species just shouldn't be hunted, perhaps due to some essential moral quality or some key trait of sentience. As hunters, our decision to hunt a species should be deliberate and thoughtful. . I don't think there is an easy answer to this question. I certainly don't know the answer, if there is one. But I try to dig into my own reflections on the topic in a new blog post.

We thought it was going to be a beautiful sunny ride today. It turned into a face-ripping windy ride. But it was still wonderful to get outside on the ice for a bit to enjoy the fresh air and scenery. . #ringaroundthesun #braceyourselves #astormiscoming #nain #seaice #winter #skidoo #ocean #mountains #hunting #whatgetsyououtdoors Ready for Monday morning after a great weekend with these two rock climbers. Grateful for the adventures and time outside in the sun. Brace yourselves, spring is coming.

“Hunting is one of the hardest things even to think about. Such a storm of conflicting emotions!” – Edward Abbey
