What started as a routine spring turkey hunt ended in tragedy last month after searchers found the body of a missing Ohio hunter deep in Colorado’s backcountry. According to reporting from CBS Colorado, 27-year-old Kaden Sites was found deceased after more than a week of intensive search efforts near Mount Shavano in Chaffee County. Sites, a resident of Toledo, Ohio, was reported missing after failing to return from a turkey hunting trip and missing a scheduled doctor’s appointment later that day. The disappearance immediately triggered a large-scale search operation. Over eight days, more than 100 volunteers, law enforcement personnel, search-and-rescue…

A three-panel court blocked the Trump administration from banning transgender troops from the United States military, though it did not alter precedent for new troops wanting to enlist. The 2-1 ruling, issued Monday by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, blocks the administration from removing currently enlisted transgender service members but continues to allow the policy to continue for new transgender recruits. On May 6, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court in a party-line decision granted the Trump administration’s request to enforce a Department of Defense policy banning transgender individuals from serving in…

Every experienced fly angler has a list of their favorite rods ever created. These are specific models, no matter how old and outdated, that, for whatever reason, spoke to you as an angler. For me, the original Orvis Recon easily makes my top-five list. When the Recon launched in 2015, Orvis touted it as a high-performing rod with a middle-of-the-road price of $425. I thought it performed too well. It was ridiculously light and fast, and reminded me of my old Sage ONE. Honestly, when sitting in my drift boat next to flagships from Winston, Sage, Loomis, and Orvis itself,…

New Jersey has never made it easy for law-abiding citizens to carry a firearm. Before the Bruen decision, it was downright impossible for most. It was one of those states that said you needed a good reason to get a permit, and as at least one reader informed me directly, “self-defense” wasn’t considered a good reason. They can’t do that now, but that doesn’t mean they’re making it much easier. What they do now is charge a lot of money for a permit, and that makes it difficult for many people to get one, especially…

A large luxury sedan, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, often sits near the top of a premium brand’s lineup. These vehicles blend the latest technology and ultimate luxury into a complete package. However, with the rising demand for SUVs and the introduction of new luxury SUVs, the importance of the luxury sedan has diminished over the past few years. While other brands have removed flagship sedans from their product lineups, Volvo has taken a different approach to the segment. The brand-new Volvo ES90 is the company’s first fully electric luxury sedan, a bold statement by the Swedish carmaker to a…

Health officials in Brazil are currently monitoring two people for possible Ebola infections. One suspected patient, a 37-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), who began exhibiting symptoms such as fever, São Paulo’s state government said. The other case is in Rio de Janeiro. These two cases are in Brazil’s two largest cities, sparking concern for the country. The test results for both patients should become available next week. If confirmed, they would be the first cases of infection outside Africa since the outbreak began in the DR Congo, according to a BBC report.  There are…
