Week in Review - February 14, 2025

We kicked off the week this week covering a multi-year Montana poaching investigation that resulted in guilty pleas for the poaching of three bull elk, a black bear and a whole lot of trout. We’ll also cover off the failure of a new Wyoming bill that would have outlawed the use of snowmachines to mow down predators like wolves and coyotes. We also got the details and pictures of the fattest cat ever captured in the state of Florida along with the story of citizen’s arrest, bear penises and a porcupine and we’ll chat about Rocky Mountain National Park’s bulging moose populations.We're also covering:Florida hunter who illegally shot a rare Tundra Swan last year gets a lifetime hunting ban plus finesTexas Game Wardens bust man hunting on private property in converted Port-a-PottyTexas Game Wardens foil undocumented immigrant operationGOP lawmakers in Connecticut are calling for a bear season after recording 68 home invasions last yearLouisiana men cited for poaching a dozen deer across three parishesPA Judge rules that the first bear shot in Lancaster County was, in fact, shot illegallyNew Oregon Bill aims to circumvent the state’s ban on mountain lion hunting with dogsLouisiana’s got a gator problem and the only prescription is more hunting seasonsTo read these stories and more, be sure to check out the newsletter and subscribe at www.thevenatic.comFollow us on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/venaticmedia/ Hosted on Acast.
