Kroenke Ranches is taking bold new steps on Texas’s WAGGONER RANCH by adopting a holistic approach to the ecological management of the historic 560,000-acre ranch’s significant wildlife resources. The primary land-management techniques currently being employed by the Wildlife Division are targeted specifically at quail and white-tailed deer habitats. Since Stan Kroenke purchased the Waggoner Ranch in February 2016, brush management has been performed on more than 150,000 acres of the 875-square-mile landholding. This comprehensive management philosophy has served to promote populations of native grasses and forbs and to enhance habitat diversity on the largest single ranch under one fence in the Lone Star State Stan Kroenke's 1,700,000 acres take the Number 4 spot in The Land Report 100 presented by Peoples Company: https://lnkd.in/eDrmGzyu PHOTO CREDIT: © Kroenke Ranches - Peoples Company #LandReport100 #AmericasLargestLandowners #landowners #KroenkeRanches #WaggonerRanch #WildlifeManagement #EcologicalConservation #QuailHabitat #DeerHabitat #BrushManagement #HabitatDiversity #NativeGrasses

BREAKING NEWS: Today the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) denied a listing petition from the Center and allies seeking federal protection for gray wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains. This would have stopped states like Idaho, Montana and Wyoming from allowing the widespread killings of wolves, which is currently allowed under state laws. While wolves in most of the lower 48 are federally protected under the Endangered Species Act, wolves in Idaho, Montana, eastern Washington, eastern Oregon and northern Utah lost federal protections through a congressional legislative rider in 2011. Following a court battle, wolves in Wyoming also lost federal protection in 2012. Since losing Endangered Species Act protection, wolves in the Northern Rockies have suffered widespread persecution. The Center plans to challenge the Fish and Wildlife Service’s denial of the listing petition. Learn more: https://biodiv.us/3Oy27dt

From today’s Federal Register: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a finding on the gray wolf (Canis lupus) in the Northern Rocky Mountains (NRM) and in the Western United States. After a thorough review of the best available scientific and commercial data, we find that gray wolves within the NRM area do not, on their own, represent a valid listable entity; therefore, the NRM is not warranted for listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We find that the gray wolf in the Western United States is a valid listable entity; however, the gray wolf in the Western United States does not meet the definition of an endangered species or a threatened species. Thus, we find that listing the gray wolf in the Western United States is not warranted at this time. https://lnkd.in/gpWXGyEW?

Hey Alberta hunters and outdoor enthusiasts! If you're heading out to enjoy the great outdoors this weekend, we've got a request for you. Have you heard of ABHuntLog? It's a super simple feature in iHunter Alberta that lets you record your wildlife observations and harvests at a WMU level. And the best part? It's confidential (we don't collect names or locations) and totally voluntary. By using ABHuntLog, you're helping biologists and wildlife managers get a better understanding of the wildlife populations across Alberta. Your observations can supplement the data collected by government aerial surveys, which only happen intermittently in some WMUs. Plus, keeping track of your harvests makes reporting at the end of the season a breeze. So if you're heading out bowhunting for moose this weekend, please consider using ABHuntLog to help us collect information on moose populations across the province. Together, we can help protect and preserve Alberta's beautiful wildlife! Learn more at www.abhuntlog.ca
