Coming Home with Greg Stube Debuts on Sportsman

New Berlin, Wisconsin- God, Country and Family are words of deep meaning to recently retired U.S. Special Forces Green Beret, Greg Stube, in his premiere series, Coming Home with Greg Stube on Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor TV for the American Sportsman. The memorable series debuts on June 29 and celebrates Americans through hunting and fishing adventures from King Salmon fishing in Alaska, to big game hunting in the Western states. The premiere season of Coming Home with Greg Stube debuts on Wednesday, June 29 at 7 am with re-airs on Thursdays at 1 pm and Sundays at 11 am ET.

“Greg has a unique and rare ability to bring out the raw emotions of how Americans exercise their freedoms in the outdoors,” said Gavin Harvey, CEO of Sportsman Channel. “The values and ethics that are gained through the outdoor activities are the core focus of his show; no one brings this to light better than Greg.”

Coming Home with Greg Stube takes viewers on adventures ranging from King Salmon on the Kenai River in Alaska to catching mammoth catfish in South Carolina and bowhunting elk in Montana to harvesting Florida gators with a crossbow. Stube’s easy going personality takes the focus off him and places the spotlight on the experts, guides, outfitters and local law enforcement. The overriding mission of each episode is to educate, entertain and inform.

“I want to draw special attention to the areas and the people where we’re hunting and fishing,” said Greg Stube. “The very act of ‘Coming Home’ has a very unique and personal meaning to each and every one of us, which is why we believe everyone who tunes into the show will take away something different.”

During each episode, Stube reveals lessons learned as a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, even from the battlefield where he served his country.

Stube tells his followers he should not be alive. The injuries this Green Beret sustained in Afghanistan in 2006′s “Operation Medusa” were critical. An IED detonated as he and his team was engaged with Taliban forces as they attempted to retake Kandahar. The bomb blast blew his boot off, and splinters of bone pricked through his pants. A one-pound piece of shrapnel pierced Stube’s hip and went into his abdomen. Today, he takes his life lessons on the road as a motivational speaker.

Today, Stube lives and operates out of Fayetteville, NC, which is the home of the Army Airborne and Special Operations. Stube is proud to share that TIME Magazine once called Fayetteville the most patriotic city in America. “Soldiers have been ‘coming home’ to Fayetteville since WWII, and I’m proud to call this city my home,” he said.

Alaska Becomes 8th State To Enact “Firearms Freedom Act” Law

Alaska became the 8th state to enact a Firearms Freedom Act, the 7th enacted clone of Montana’s original bill, when Alaska Governor Sean Parnell signed HB 186, sponsored by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Fairbanks) today.

In a prepared statement, Rep. Kelly said: “The Alaska Firearms Freedom Act frees Alaskans from overly-bureaucratic and restrictive federal firearm regulation, and allows our state to assume the responsibility for regulation. The Interstate Commerce Clause is used by the federal government to regulate firearms that cross state borders. The Alaska Firearms Freedom Act makes it clear that Alaskans will be responsible for firearms that are made in Alaska, for use in Alaska, and have ‘Made in Alaska’ stamped on them. Read more

A Warning To Outdoor Users About Echinococcus, From Worms

by

Tom Remington

This is a warning to outdoor users about a potentially deadly biological event that could result from one’s curiosity to poke at and kick through scat from wolves, coyotes and foxes. Of course not everyone knowingly does this but many hunters, trappers and simply the curious, want to know what these animals have been eating.

Montana’s New Gun Law Going Viral

H/T to reader Greg Farber on the Global News Post article.

Montana’s HB246 is the talk of the states it seems these days. It didn’t take too long I suppose but with each passing day, more media, not the main stream though, and new Internet media are picking up on the brazen and testy new gun law bill that Montana signed into law last month. I first brought you that story right here on the Black Bear Blog.

I’ll dispense with all the proper speak and get to the nitty gritty of the bill. Montana’s HB246 says that any guns or gun parts manufactured in the state of Montana and sold exclusively in the state of Montana cannot be regulated by the federal government. Read more

New Wolf Control Facts

Note: The following article was originally printed in The Outdoorsman No. 33, February 2009 by the publisher, George Dovel. With his permission, I am republishing for Black Bear Blog readers.

Before I present the current Idaho wolf population data, the following highlights from the Alaska Board of Game wolf and bear control program approved in early March 2009 are very interesting. Because Alaska DFG Biologists are the undisputed experts in North American wolf research and in state control of wolves adversely impacting big game populations, this information should be read and discussed by every legislator and biologist involved in the wolf delisting process.

In early February, 2009, before the AK Game Board even met to consider requests for wolf control, Defenders of Wildlife (DOW) mounted a television campaign in opposition to aerial wolf control, using Hollywood actress Ashley Judd as its spokesperson. Judd called aerial killing of wolves “senseless savagery,” and attacked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for approving the practice (ID and MT take note). Read more

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Approves Of Animal Slaughter

If you don’t like that headline then perhaps you should also not like one that states that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is an animal killer and an abuser. There are however a few marked differences between what some are accusing Gov. Palin of being and what I am accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being but both bear striking similarities………..that is if you are willing to look at things from a honest perspective.

There will always be people who will have an issue with the killing of any animal and some to the extreme of any living thing whether plant or animal. We witness everyday people who ignorantly support the protection of a handful of animals while being responsible for the deaths of more than they saved. For that, I offer no cures nor do I pretend that I can in all honesty have any marked alterations to their beliefs. I expect nothing different in return either. Read more

Gov. Sarah Palin – She Ain’t Afraid Of No Wolves!

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin isn’t afraid of anyone or anybody when it comes to doing what is right for the people within the constitutions and laws in which we all must abide.

Forget the far left’s attempt to smear Palin and her family, a left extremism that Barack Obama and many others support, the democrats in general are attempting to make an issue about Governor Palin’s experience. It’s probably a bit objective as to whether Governor Palin has more or less “experience” than Senator Obama. The liberal media, in its support of Obama, is saying that Sarah Palin doesn’t measure up to Obama in experience and that Senator John McCain’s attack campaign against Obama’s inexperience will now backfire, as he has picked a running mate with little experience.

Alaska Retired Wildlife Biologist Offers Aerial Wolf Management Feedback

Today, Dave Kelleyhouse, a retired wildlife biologist and a former director of the Division of Wildlife Conservation of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, offers his input on Ballot Measure 2. BM2 is an attempt by anti-hunting groups to stop the Alaska Department of Fish and Game from using the necessary tools to manage predators.

You can read Kellyhouse’s editorial at The Voice of the Times.
