It’s moose season!

Our Wildlife Management program would like to let you know that we have collared moose out there for a research study. These moose are perfectly fine for your hunt! We just ask that if you happen to get one of these moose please call the number on the collar.

Happy Hunting!

The Trump administration announced plans to expand drilling in the Arctic, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Interior Department stated it would begin steps to open the entire 1.56 million-acre Coastal Plain of the refuge to oil and gas exploration.

Happy St Patrick’s Day! In Christian mythology this patron saint drove all the snakes out of Ireland, but is it fact or fiction? It is actually false, and just a good parable. In fact there have never been any native snake species in Ireland

As we head into the week expecting an early retirement offer and continued mass reductions of our workforce, I thought some reminder of what we do would be helpful.
This is what we do. Our employees were heroes. We are now under attack by our own government.

In 2010 the Deepwater Horizon, a BP-operated drilling rig, exploded, sank, and killed 11 workers. The resulting oil spill was the largest in US history, releasing 134 million gallons of oil.
