In New Hampshire any taxpayer who is eligible to vote has the constitutional right to petition the Superior Court if that citizen believes a government entity is misusing public funds.
Right now, one citizen is doing just that, with alawsuit against the NH Fish and Game Department. The lawsuit alleges that the NH Fish and Game Department, which is funded by taxpayers, caters to a minority of the population — those who hunt, fish, and trap — rather than representing the interests of all New Hampshire citizens.

Among the proudest moments in my young, coming-of-age years were two events: passing the hunter’s safety test as a newly minted teenager in the Upper Midwestern state where I grew up, and earning the state-issued permit to drive a snowmobile, which I got prior to securing an auto driver’s license, so I could get to hockey practice on outdoor ice in winter.
Regarding hunter’s safety, our instructors were people of esteem in my small town. Along with weekly sessions…
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — One Kalamazoo man appeared in court on Wednesday for showing what one officer called “no respect for the resource or ethics of fair chase.” ‘
Scott Kevin Meisterheim, 55, is facing a long list of charges for hunting violations, mostly related to his deer hunting practices.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources launched an investigation into Meisterheim’s hunting behavior back in Febrary 2022, thanks to severalpoaching tips.
James Nason, a conservation officer in Kalamazoo County, immediately looked into the tips, talking to witness about Meisterheim’s hunting activity in 2021.
Nason collected evidence indicating Meisterheim snatched at least 11 deer from October to December of that year, including three deer on the first of October, and that Meisterheim believed he was “tagged out” the first weekend…

The largest glacier between the high peaks of Mount Rainier and Glacier Peak has melted away after a long battle with global warming.
For thousands of years, the Hinman Glacier graced the crest of the Washington Cascades in what is now King County.
Fifty miles due east of downtown Seattle, Mount Hinman sits deep in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, midway between Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass.
Nichols College glaciologist Mauri Pelto led a team to Mount Hinman in August 2022, as he has most summers since 1984. This time, they found its namesake glacier was no more.
In its place were just a few stranded patches of snow and ice.

CUMBERLAND ISLAND, Ga. – A 15-year-old right whale named Nimbus is now free from being entangled in a fishing rope. Nimbus was spotted by a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission whale survey aircraft entangled 13 miles east of Jekyll Island, Georgia.
Trained responders working from boats used special tools to remove 375 feet of 11/16 inch diameter synthetic rope that was passing through the whale’s mouth, dragging hundreds of feet behind its flukes. Responders were unable to remove a short segment of rope that was passing through the whale’s mouth, but the whale should be able to shed the remaining rope on his own in time.
Nimbus was last seen swimming south, 9 miles east of Cumberland Island, Georgia. Fishing rope entanglements are the leading cause of North Atlantic right whale deaths and injury. It’s one of the biggest challenges facing the species’ survival.
Nimbus disentanglement (NOAA permit #24359)
Investigators with NOAA will work to determine the fishery rope’s origin. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources along with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, NOAA Fisheries and Song of the Whale all worked to respond to the disentanglement.
Nimbus is a male Atlantic right whale, named for the cloud-like scars on his lips that predate this entanglement.

WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) – A four-star U.S. Air Force general said in a memo that his gut told him the United States would fight China in the next two years, comments that Pentagon officials said were not consistent with American military assessments.
“I hope I am wrong,” General Mike Minihan, who heads the Air Mobility Command, wrote to the leadership of its roughly 110,000 members. “My gut tells me will fight in 2025.”
The letter was dated Feb. 1 but had been sent out on Friday.
