Judge Donald Molloy has placed Gray Wolves back on the endangered list citing that a species cannot be on the list in one state but not in another. Wyoming wolves have remained on the list due to disagreements over management. Not sure what this means for Alaska nor am I sure when endangered status was determined by management plans. I do know this decision has surely fanned an already hot fire!

December, for some it’s all about holiday cheer,  for others maybe it’s the start of ski season, but for a few of us it’s all about trying to maintain a positive outlook. This is not because of the cold weather or extremely short days, it’s not due to the winding down of another long hard year of work.  It’s something only few will ever understand.  

As I've cruised through the trophy rooms and brag boards here at NNO, I've notice that we have what appears to be a very skilled group of outdoors folks without all the testosterone.

INTRODUCTION

I am married, mother of two boys, and a middle school teacher. I’m also a high school track coach and will be starting my 30^th year in August.

In December of 2006 my husband and I were involved in a serious head on accident with a drunk driver. Although we survived I lost the movement in my left eye. This has affected some things, but it did not hurt my shooting eye. While recovering from the wreck I found myself needing to shoot a gun, but unable to shoot a rifle, yet. At that point I decided I wanted my own firearm. I wanted a pistol.
