The plan, which the USDA called “common sense forest management” in a recent press release, has sparked a firestorm of criticism with public land advocates calling it a coordinated attempt to dismantle the storied agency. They argue that the elimination of USFS’s regional model—which dates back to the early 1900s…

Congress used a controversial legislative maneuver known as as the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to scrap the 20-year mining ban. Critics warn that using the CRA in this manner sets a dangerous precedent for federally managed public lands throughout the country.
Congress and the President used the CRA to overturn public land protections for the first time back in December 2025, scrapping Resource Management Plans on BLM lands in Alaska, North Dakota, and Montana. And Utah Senator Mike Lee is currently using the tactic in an attempt to kill National Monument protections for Grandstaircase Escalante.

This is a story about perspective.
Alyssa Hall didn’t grow up hunting. In fact, she was completely against it. Like a lot of people, she believed meat came from the grocery store and never thought about where it actually came from or what hunting really meant.
Now, her life looks completely different.
@alyfromalabama her husband both work in the hunting industry with @Buckmasters.Outdoors fully immersed in the outdoor lifestyle she once didn’t understand.
In this episode of the Country Outdoors podcast, Ally shares how she went from being anti-hunting to working in the hunting industry. We talk about the moment her mindset started to shift, what she misunderstood about hunting, and how being around the right people changed everything.
If you’ve ever questioned hunting, grown up outside of it, or wondered how someone makes that kind of transition, this conversation will give you a real, honest look at it.
We also get into:
what hunting actually means beyond the stereotypes
conservation and respect for wildlife
how the outdoor industry welcomes new people
the reality of stepping into something you once disagreed with
building a life and career in the hunting industry
This episode is about more than hunting. It’s about being willing to change your perspective.
