As part of the timber transport pilot program established under 20-year national stewardship agreement Between the National Wild Turkey Federation and the USDA Forest Service, there is a crucial requirement that harvested trees undergo debarking and inspection before being transported.

Surplus trees harvested from the Klamath National Forest in northern California are transported to Gilchrist Forest Products in Oregon, which plays an essential role in maintaining the health of the forest during the debarking process. Debarking involves removing the bark from cut wood, eliminating potentially invasive species and pathogens that can cause damage to forest ecosystems. The debarked logs are inspected and transported to a rail terminal in Klamath Falls, Oregon, for further inspection before being loaded onto railcars for transport to Wyoming. There, the wood will help support local sawmills and communities.

“By having several sets of eyes on each log during the process, we can monitor that the logs are being debarked to the specifications needed,” said Dan Stone, procurement forester for Gilchrist Forest Products. “At each step in the process, operators have the ability to reject logs or send them back through the debarker to ensure a quality job has been done.”

When wood is moved, there is a risk that invasive insects and diseases are also moved, which can introduce new pests or exacerbate existing pest problems. Barking beetles are one of the most prominent invasive species currently affecting forests. These beetles attack and kill healthy trees, causing dead trees to fall, negatively impacting infrastructure and creating fire hazards. Adult bark beetles tunnel under the tree bark and disrupt the movement of food and water through the tree, resulting in the death of the tree. Debarking cut wood will expose barking beetles, causing their death and suppressing the spread of invasive species.

Although forests across the country are affected by barking beetles, the western US is especially affected. Among the various species of bark beetles found in this region, the mountain pine beetle is the most destructive and aggressive. It targets several species of pine trees, including the ponderosa pine that is being transported for this project. These beetles cause rapid and substantial ecological and economic damage by killing large numbers of healthy trees. The resulting dead trees create an increased risk of wildfires, further endangering the forest ecosystem and nearby communities.

“There are also insect monitoring stations in Wyoming to alert us to any activity,” Stone said. “These inspections are additional measures to monitor the success of the pilot program and track the unintentional introduction of pine wood borers or bark beetles that are not native to the Black Hills region.”

Preventing the spread of invasive species between states is crucial to protecting the biodiversity of native species. Invasive species can disrupt natural ecosystems, leading to the extinction or decline of native species. This loss of biodiversity can have far-reaching impacts on the entire ecosystem, including the loss of vital ecosystem services such as pollination, water filtration, and carbon sequestration.

Through the implementation of debarking and inspection measures, the NWTF and the USDA Forest Service demonstrate their commitment to responsible forest management practices that promote the health and sustainability of forest ecosystems. These practices help protect native tree populations, reduce the risk of wildfires, and promote economic growth in the timber industry, while protecting our natural resources for future generations.

FISHING TIPS AND CLEANING, ALONG WITH A DELICIOUS BASS RECIPE

It’s back to that time of year when everyone is looking forward to wetting a line in open water again. Melting snow and rising water levels mean one thing to most anglers: the walleye race is on. Walleye flock to the rivers each spring to lay their eggs, and anglers flock from far and wide to try and land the 30-inch club.

The males usually move in just after the ice comes up, and the females follow when the water temperature approaches 40 degrees. Spawning can happen fast, depending on the weather, and most fish have spawned by the time the water reaches 50 degrees. One thing to remember during this time is to be bold and fish in shallow water. Walleye will usually move to shallow areas with gravel or rock to spawn. Don’t be surprised if you find one sitting in a foot of water. During this time of year, tactics can range from throwing plastics, hair jigs, or trolling Dubuque rigs at low speed. For a more active bite, rippin raps and blade baits are common, along with trolling crankbaits. Don’t be afraid to change if something doesn’t work. I’ve found that the more natural colors work best before the water gets dirty, but the brighter colors produce better once the clarity diminishes.

I love to fish for walleye before spawning, but after spawning it can produce a phenomenal catch. During this time, the fish are hungry and actively feed. Then, as spring progresses, sport fishing opens up in every state, allowing people to raise walleye in inland lakes. Check your state regulations for daily baggage and size limits, as these vary.

There is nothing better than fresh walleye for dinner. There are many ways to eat walleye, but you must clean them first. Making sure you get all the bones out is essential, as no one wants to pick fish bones out of their teeth.

Here are a couple of tips to make this process a bit easier:

• Before cleaning your fish, sharpen your knife. There is nothing worse than a dull knife when trying to fillet a fish. Smiths Consumer Products manufactures a variety of knife sharpeners. However, I recommend Smith’s Deluxe Knife and Hook Sharpener. It is compact, easy to use and always gives great results.

Steps for cleaning:

1. Place your knife behind the front flipper and cut down to the spine. DO NOT cut through the spine.
2. Once you make this cut, turn the fillet knife to the side, slide it along the spine to the tail, and remove the fillet.
3. Next, remove the rib bones. Position your fillet knife just behind the ribs and follow the outline to do this.
4. Next, you will remove the skin. Starting at the tail, hold the knife to its side and slide along the skin, removing the fillet as you go. Use your fingers to hold the skin in place while you do this.
5. Lastly, you will remove the bones along the middle of the fillet. To find them, run your fingers over the fillet. Once you find them, make a cut along both sides and remove them.
6. Wash the fillets in cold water and they are ready to cook!

There are many ways to eat walleye, but one of my favorites is fish tacos. You can easily modify them to make them your own. No fish taco is the same. This is how I like to do them

LECULO FISH TACOS

Ingredients:

2 zander fillets

1 cup Southern Zatarains Crispy Fish Fry

1 cup of cornmeal

Milk (used to dip the fish)

Olive oil (for frying)

1 bag of coleslaw

1 can of your favorite coleslaw dressing

Hard or soft shells (whatever you prefer)

Ingredients of your choice (red peppers, pico de gallo, pineapple salsa, guacamole)

Preparation of toppings:

1. Mix the coleslaw in a bowl and set aside.
2. Cut the peppers and any other vegetables you want and reserve.
3. I usually buy pico de gallo, pineapple salsa, and guacamole, but if you’re ambitious, you can make them yourself.

Cooking your walleye:

1. In a bowl, mix Zatarains and cornmeal.
2. In another bowl, add the milk.
3. Cut the fillets into smaller pieces about 4-5 inches long.
4. Dip the fish fillets in the milk and then in the dry mix.
5. In a skillet, add enough olive oil to about 1/4 inch to cover the bottom.
6. Heat the oil and then add the battered fish fillets.
7. Fry until crisp

Prepare the final product by putting the fish on the shell, followed by the coleslaw and dressings, and it’s ready to eat!

Savage Arms proudly presents its own versatile camouflage pattern, Woodland. Attendees at 152^{North Dakota} First seen at the NRA Annual Meetings and Shows in Indianapolis, Indiana April 14-16, it is now available in IMPULSE Big Game and 110 Ultralite Camo. Both rifles are mainstays in the Backcountry Xtreme series and continue to showcase the AccuTrigger in their 20’s.^he year on the market.

Savage Woodland camouflage helps hunters close the distance. The innovative design specifically for the Savage uses natural colors and digitally enhanced shapes to provide the ultimate in concealment at all ranges. The versatile mix of tans, browns and greens blends beautifully in a variety of terrains. Savage Woodland effectively hides hunters in different covers, from forests to grasslands, and even deep into the mountains.

The IMPULSE Big Game is Savage’s original Straight-Pull model. Since its introduction, several other models have been released for hunting and competition due to popularity in the US and international markets. Bringing in Savage’s own Woodland camo was a customer driven decision. Savage received constant feedback that hunters preferred a pattern that worked better in the field over a brand or pattern.

“We have always had big plans for the Savage brand,” said Beth Shimanski, director of marketing for Savage Arms. “Watching what Savage’s lifestyle look take shape and receiving supportive and validating feedback is exciting and opens many new doors. You will see more of this in the future. When it comes to camo, we work hard in Woodland to get it right. The data that made us pull the trigger on this decision was that hunters wanted patterns that benefited them in the field, meaning concealment when it matters most. So developing our own camouflage was something we took very seriously.”

The 110 Ultralite is designed to combat lift and the elements while maintaining the performance of a factory-blueprinted Savage 110 action. The carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel and melonite skeletonized receiver minimize weight for success on any mountain hunt. The rifle comes equipped with Savage’s AccuFit™ technology with adjustable draw length and comb height to provide hunters with optimal fit and performance. This new extension to the line features Savage Woodland camouflage for the best concealment. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger™ allows for crisp, clean shots to close out successful hunts.
