Remembering Robert Duvall, Adventures with BEC & Why Yellowstone in March

From Robert Duvall’s legacy and impact on Westerns to Adventures with me, Rebecca Wanner  aka BEC to then insight on why March is the best month to visit Yellowstone National Park. Stories of the West, travel, and adventure are on the schedule! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC’ and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Honoring the Godfather of Westerns, Exploring Life on the Trail with Rebecca Wanner, and Discovering the Best Time to Visit Yellowstone National Park
Robert Duvall (1931–2026): The Godfather of Westerns
Robert Duvall, 1931 - 2026, passed at age 95 on his horse farm in Virginia. Leaving a legacy on the silver screen from To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Godfather, to winning an Oscar for Tender Mercies… He had a love for westerns and horsemanship.
Early in his career, Duvall noticed that actors in movies didn’t have the right “seat” when riding horses and hence stunt doubles were relied upon. On his own accord, Duvall took up horseback riding and learning from those that taught stunt doubles, proper horsemanship which led to him owning a farm, raising horses and performing his own stunts for the movies. 
Thanks to movies such as a cameo in the original “True Grit” to the epic mini-series “Lonesome Dove” and “Open Range”... Some have dubbed Robert Duvall as the Godfather of Westerns.
How well do you know our, by far, favorite movie - Lonesome Dove where Duvall played Captain Augustus “Gus” McCrae, a Texas Ranger turned cattle rancher, a role that would earn him a Golden Globe
How old was Robert Duvall during the production of Lonesome Dove? 58 years old
Duvall starred alongside which actor in the epic Western Lonesome Dove? Tommy Lee Jones
Tommy Lee Jones, another actor who was an experienced horseman that refused to use a stunt double in the movie.
Favorite "Lonesome Dove" quotes by Augustus 'Gus' McCrae, Robert Duvall
“It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.”
“We don’t rent pigs”
"Any man who does rent pigs is....... he's hard to stop."
"By God, Woodrow, it's been quite a party."
“Ain’t nothing better than riding a fine horse in new country.”
Another favorite movie that introduced Robert Duvall to a whole new generation was “Secondhand Lion”. Highly recommended family film… and a quote  that stands out from these old bachelor uncles was Duvall, “We’re old, Damnit. Leave us alone.”
Adventures of Rebecca Wanner aka BEC
Our host, Rebecca 'BEC' Wanner, of The Bend Show shares adventures on her bucket list and stories of past adventures.
We learn that she has a fear of heights, so flying an ultra-light plane will not be happening. Rebecca Wanner aka BEC has done snorkeling and hopes to gain her scuba license some day. Adventure wise she shares her own version of Planes, Train, & Automobiles when attempting to fly home from a summer abroad only to be left backpacking, hopping trains, outrunning security guards to finally find her way home at the age of 20 before smartphones thus no cellphones either.
Fun Stories!
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK: Why is March the best month to visit?
Spring is when bison calves are born, and bears with cubs start to emerge from hibernation. The vegetation in March is still thin, so elk and moose are easier to spot. March is also one of the best months to see wolves in Lamar Valley. Plus no crowds, due to chances for snow and colder temperatures.
Open year-round: North Entrance (Gardiner, MT) to Northeast Entrance (Cooke City, MT)
A quick google search will show that there are multiple tours throughout the off-season in Yellowstone. Because interior park roads are closed to private vehicles, popular guided options include snow coach tours, snowmobile tours, and educational wildlife safaris. Same goes for visiting the Grand Tetons. Sit back, do a tour and take in the scenery!

Michigan’s Shortest Fishing Season Ends in Just 48 Minutes
Michigan’s 2026 Black Lake sturgeon fishing season came and went fast — really fast. The season opened at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7, and wrapped up just 48 minutes later when the six-fish quota was reached in Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties.
According to the Department of Natural Resources, anglers landed fish starting at 8:07 a.m., with the final sturgeon harvested right at 8:48. In total, 679 anglers were registered, all competing in what’s known as the shortest fishing season in the state.
The largest catch was a 67-inch female sturgeon weighing just over 79 pounds. The other five fish ranged from about 53 to 64 inches long, weighing between 40 and 78 pounds. Each angler was allowed to keep just one fish and had to report it immediately. The season automatically closed once the sixth fish was taken, with anglers alerted by text and by DNR staff on the ice.
Black Lake’s sturgeon season is famous for its speed. Last year it lasted only 17 minutes, while in 2023 it stretched to just over an hour. In 2024, the season was canceled entirely because of unsafe ice.
Lake sturgeon are among the oldest fish species in the Great Lakes, and their numbers dropped sharply in the past due to overfishing and habitat loss. Strict regulations and decades of restoration work have helped rebuild the population, allowing Michigan to continue this tightly controlled, blink-and-you-miss-it fishing tradition.

Duck Hunters Rescued After Becoming Trapped in Frozen Maryland River
A dramatic helicopter rescue occurred January 31 when six duck hunters became stranded in the frozen Nanticoke River in Maryland on the final day of duck season.
Natural Resources Police and Wildlife and Heritage Service crews were called out around 6:30 p.m. after the hunters’ boat became inoperable in icy conditions. Temperatures were in the teens and low 20s, with strong winds, and thick ice prevented local fire crews from reaching them by water or boat ramp.
Officials believe the hunters had completed their hunt and were heading back when they ran into trouble — either mechanical issues or ice that moved in after the shoot. A helicopter crew was already nearby but decided it was too dangerous to hoist the hunters due to high winds.
Instead, rescuers launched an airboat from a nearby campground. The river is about a half-mile wide at that location, a well-known but risky late-season duck hunting area.
All six hunters were safely brought back in two trips, checked by EMS, and returned to their vehicles. While it’s unclear what happened to their boat — or whether they harvested any ducks — officials say it’s a last-day hunt the group won’t forget, and one they were fortunate to survive.

Rural America: Wildlife, Technology, and the Future of Youth Agriculture

This week we share how Utah is in a cougar debate tied to declining deer herds.  We have fun with Real versus AI-generated stories. Plus how there is value in FFA and 4H, exploring key issues shaping our future youth. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC’ and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Utah Cougar Cull Sparks Tension as State Studies Mule Deer Declines
Utah Cougar Cull Sparks Tension with Hunters & Houndsmen as State Studies Deer Declines
Utah wildlife managers have launched a three-year study that involves culling mountain lions in six game management units to see whether reducing cougar numbers will help struggling mule deer herds. While the goal is more deer on the landscape, many of Utah’s houndsmen say the plan puts their dogs, their livelihoods, and the future of lion hunting at risk.
State biologists say cougar predation is exceeding sustainable levels in parts of Utah, with some units seeing more than eight percent—and in some cases double-digit—deer losses to lions. The study focuses on the Boulder, Monroe, Stansbury, Pine Valley, Wasatch East, and Zion units, where state-run trapping efforts are now being added on top of already legal year-round lion hunting.
That’s where the concern comes in for houndsmen and from hunters. The Utah Houndsmen Association opposes the study, warning that state-set traps and snares create dangerous conditions for hounds and discourage outfitters from turning dogs loose. Houndsmen are asking the state to release trap location maps so they can hunt safely and continue doing the hands-on, ethical predator management they’ve provided for generations.
Supporters of the study, including several major conservation groups, say the data is needed. Mule deer have been collared across the study units, and early observations show poor body condition in some animals. Funding for the research is coming from sportsmen-driven organizations, and some groups are taking a wait-and-see approach before judging the results.
Critics of predator management argue that habitat loss and winter severity are the real problems behind deer declines. But state officials point out that while habitat issues affect much of Utah, roughly 30 percent of the state appears to be dealing with a true predator-driven, top-down problem—something the legislature has directed wildlife managers to address.
For houndsmen, the bigger issue may be perception. At a time when lion hunting faces pressure across the West, they worry this study could hand ammunition to anti-hunting groups and further threaten a tradition built around trained dogs, fair chase, and hands-on conservation.
The debate puts Utah’s houndsmen squarely in the middle—supporting healthy deer herds and sound science, while fighting to protect their dogs, their way of life, and the future of cougar hunting.

Winter Trends & Headlines: House Burping, Dumb Outdoors Crimes & Weather-Triggered Migraines

This week on The Bend Show from the “house burping” home trend to dumb outdoor criminal stories and how winter weather can trigger migraines. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC’ and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Home Trends, Outdoor Headlines & Health Impacts of Winter Weather
House Burping: Why Some Homeowners Are Opening Windows in Winter
Even as winter temperatures plunge, a growing number of homeowners are opening their windows on purpose — a trend known as “house burping.” The idea comes from a long-standing German practice called lüften, which simply means airing out your home to improve indoor air quality.
Air quality experts say it can actually be healthy. Letting in fresh air helps reduce moisture, mold, carbon dioxide, and indoor pollutants — especially important since Americans spend about 90 percent of their time indoors.
In Germany, lüften is so common that some rental agreements even require tenants to open windows regularly. The practice has gone viral in the U.S., with social media users sharing routines like airing out the house first thing in the morning, after cooking or showering, or after guests leave.
There are downsides, though. Critics say opening windows in winter can hurt energy efficiency and drive up heating costs. Experts recommend keeping it short — about ten minutes is all it takes.
So while it may feel counterintuitive, a quick blast of cold air could help keep your home healthier — just don’t leave those windows open too long.

Outdoors Hunting & Fishing Dumb Crimes
According to Outdoor Life, A former Alaskan guide with a long history of wildlife violations has once again been found guilty—this time for crimes tied to his commercial fishing business. Fifty-one-year-old Michael Patrick Duby of Juneau was convicted by a jury on January 15 of multiple charges, including falsifying commercial fishing records, selling fish taken for personal use, fishing out of season, and harvesting clams without a permit.
Duby’s record of fish and game violations stretches back more than 20 years. In 2012, he received one of Alaska’s harshest sentences for wildlife crimes after a federal investigation found he illegally killed and sold protected birds. That case, along with other state offenses, cost him his hunting and sport fishing privileges, landed him in prison, and resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in fines.
After losing those privileges, Duby shifted into commercial fishing, saying it was still his passion. But prosecutors say the pattern continued. His most recent convictions stem from actions in 2019 and 2020 while operating Genesis Seafoods, including felony charges for falsifying harvest records and reckless endangerment for selling untested clams.
State prosecutors have described Duby as someone unable to stop breaking fish and game laws. His wife, who was charged as an accomplice and is a state fish and game operations manager, was acquitted. Patrick Duby represented himself at trial and is scheduled to be sentenced in May.

Bronze Bighorn Stolen from Kuiu HQ—And the Getaway Didn’t Go as Planned
Two masked thieves targeted the Kuiu headquarters in Dixon, California, but their bold plan hit a snag—they couldn’t fit what they stole into their car. In the early morning hours of December 31, surveillance video shows the suspects sawing a life-sized bronze bighorn sheep statue off its concrete base using a battery-powered saw.
After tipping the heavy statue over, the pair struggled to load it into the backseat of what appears to be a Chrysler 300. When that didn’t work, they left the scene, returned about 15 minutes later with a luggage cart, and wheeled the statue away. Police believe the bronze ram was later cut into smaller pieces so it could be transported and likely sold for scrap.
The statue, nicknamed “Rocky,” had been installed outside Kuiu’s headquarters just months earlier, in June of 2024. Bronze scrap currently sells for only a few dollars per pound, but thefts of bronze artwork are reportedly on the rise.
Kuiu has released the surveillance footage and is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. The case is being handled by the Dixon Police Department, and the company says the response online has been immediate and overwhelming.

Missouri Offers $15,000 Reward in Bull Elk Poaching Case
Missouri conservation officials are asking for the public’s help after a bull elk was illegally shot and killed at Peck Ranch Conservation Area in southern Missouri. The Missouri Department of Conservation is offering a fifteen-thousand-dollar reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
The adult bull elk was discovered the morning of November 26, 2025, lying dead in an open field with a gunshot wound to the left shoulder. Investigators say evidence at the scene shows the shooter drove a vehicle directly into the field toward the elk, then circled back onto a gravel trail and left the area at a high rate of speed. Tire tracks entering and exiting the field were clearly visible.
Photos submitted by members of the public helped narrow down the timeline. One photo shows the elk alive and grazing around 5:15 the evening before. Another photo taken just after 8:00 the next morning shows the animal dead in the same field.
The case is being handled through Missouri’s Operation Game Thief program, which emphasizes that poaching hurts wildlife conservation efforts and the hunters who follow the law.
Anyone with information is urged to call 800-392-1111. Tips can be made anonymously, and conservation officials say even small details could help bring the person responsible to justice.

How Winter Weather Can Trigger Migraines — and What You Can Do 
As winter weather settles in, doctors say colder temperatures and changing weather patterns may be triggering more migraines. According to a Cleveland Clinic headache specialist, sudden shifts in barometric pressure can create pressure changes in the sinuses, which may set off migraines in people who are already prone to them.
Extreme cold can also be a factor. For those sensitive to winter temperatures, simply being out in frigid air can increase the chances of a migraine starting.
There are steps you can take to help prevent winter-related migraines. On very cold days, staying indoors when possible can help. If you do head outside, bundle up — especially covering your head and neck to limit cold exposure. Doctors also recommend keeping migraine medications with you, so you can treat symptoms early.
Beyond the weather, lifestyle habits matter. Getting enough sleep, staying active, managing stress, and addressing anxiety or depression can all play a role in reducing migraine frequency.
And if migraines start interfering with daily life, Cleveland Clinic experts say it’s time to talk with your doctor, who can help find the right treatment plan to better manage symptoms through the winter months.

The ram was officially scored a 194.
The 10.5-year-old ram weighed 264 pounds off the hoof.
The previous state record was 186 3/8 and was held by David Suda of Fargo.
The world record was shot in South Dakota in 2018 by Clayton Miller, scoring 209 1/8.

Montana National Guard Pilot Fined for Using Military Helicopter to Collect Elk Antlers
According to Outdoor Life, a Montana National Guard helicopter pilot has pleaded no contest after using a military aircraft to collect elk antlers on a private ranch without permission.
Deni Lynn Draper, a part-time National Guard pilot, admitted no contest to a criminal trespassing charge tied to a May 2025 incident in Sweet Grass County. Prosecutors say Draper and two other servicemen landed a Black Hawk helicopter on a private ranch to gather shed elk antlers. Draper was fined $500, the maximum penalty for the misdemeanor, and his sentencing was deferred for six months. If he avoids further legal trouble, the charge could be cleared from his record.
The judge said Draper was held to a higher standard because of his military service. As part of the agreement, Draper also gave up any claim to the antlers, which were seized by state wildlife officials and will be returned to the landowner.
The other two servicemen involved have pleaded not guilty and still face criminal trespassing charges, with court hearings scheduled later this month.
The Montana National Guard confirmed it conducted a separate internal investigation into the incident. Guard leaders say policies have since been updated to strictly ban antler collecting on any land using military resources.
Officials emphasized that while the court case addresses trespassing, additional consequences could still come through military channels, reinforcing that misuse of government equipment will not be tolerated.

Hiking Headlines and a Blast from the Past

This week on The Bend Show: hiking headlines, we report on a deadly mountain lion attack and then how a drone delivered hope to a stranded hiker. Plus a blast from the past nostalgia. Retro fun—from “Rad” vs “6–7” to Red Rover and rotary phones—could Gen Z figure them out? Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC’ and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Deadly Mountain Lion Attack Shocks Hiking Community
Authorities have ended the search for mountain lions after a solo hiker was fatally attacked on a remote Colorado trail near Rocky Mountain National Park.
The victim was identified as 46-year-old Kristen Marie Kovatch of Fort Collins. She was found dead on New Year’s Day along the Crosier Mountain Trail, southeast of the small community of Glen Haven. Two hikers discovered her body around noon and reported seeing a mountain lion nearby, which they scared off by throwing rocks. One of the hikers, a physician, tried to help but could not find a pulse.
An autopsy confirmed Kovatch died from asphyxia caused by compression to her neck. The Larimer County Coroner ruled her death an accident, saying her injuries were consistent with a mountain lion attack. It was Colorado’s first fatal mountain lion attack since the late 1990s and only the fourth reported in North America over the past decade.
Wildlife officers killed two mountain lions in the area later that day. Officials say one of the animals, a male, had human DNA on its paws. A third lion was reportedly seen, but after four days of searching with no further evidence, authorities called off the effort and reopened nearby trails.
Kovatch’s family described her as an ultramarathon runner who loved hiking and Colorado’s public lands. Wildlife officials note there have been several mountain lion encounters in the region in recent months, including attacks on dogs and a runner who fought off a lion last fall.
Colorado is home to an estimated 3,800 to 4,400 mountain lions, which are rarely aggressive toward humans but can pose a risk in isolated areas.

Drone Delivers Lifeline to Stranded Hiker
In a first-of-its-kind rescue, Phoenix firefighters used a delivery drone to help a stranded hiker on Camelback Mountain in Arizona last month.
The hiker was spotted in the evening, just after 8 p.m., waving for help from the rocky Camel’s Head area. With darkness setting in and the terrain too dangerous to navigate at night, rescuers knew they couldn’t reach him until morning.
Instead of leaving him without help, the Phoenix Fire Department launched a weight-bearing drone. The drone flew supplies directly to the mountaintop, delivering a cell phone, food, water, and a blanket to keep the hiker safe and comfortable overnight.
Camelback Mountain sees dozens of rescues every year, often due to extreme heat and difficult trails. Until now, firefighters relied mostly on helicopters and ground crews. But drones—originally introduced in 2022 for wildfire monitoring—are changing how rescues are handled.
The department’s drones use thermal imaging and can carry up to six pounds. Each drone costs about $15,000, but firefighters say the technology is already proving its value. Crews were able to make multiple quick supply drops during the night—something that would have taken much longer on foot.
Phoenix Fire officials say this mission highlights their commitment to using new technology to protect both firefighters and the public, and they plan to keep expanding how drones are used in future rescues.

2026 Travel Trends, 100 Years of Etiquette & Smart January Buys

From 2026 travel trends and purposeful adventures to the weirdest etiquette rules of the past 100 years and the smartest things to buy in January—this week we blend humor, history, and practical tips. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC’ and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
2026 Travel Trends — Purposeful, Experiential & Flavor-Forward
Travel in 2026 is all about doing less, but doing it better. Instead of cramming calendars with nonstop trips, travelers are prioritizing meaningful experiences, longer stays, and intentional planning that blends adventure, culture, and rest.
Purposeful travel means choosing trips that matter—whether that’s a family getaway, an outdoor escape, or a food-forward adventure that lets you slow down and soak it all in.
What to Do Now
If summer travel is on your radar, now is the time to start watching flights and hotel availability. Prices tend to reward early planners, especially for popular destinations.
Travel Tuesday Tip: Shop for flights on Tuesdays when deals are more likely to appear.
Pro Move: Use your browser in incognito mode to avoid cookies that can track searches and potentially drive prices up.
Active Culinary Travel Takes Off
One of the fastest-growing trends blends outdoor activity with regional food and wine experiences. Think hiking by day, local cuisine by night—travel that feeds both the soul and the appetite.
The Weirdest Etiquette Advice from the Past 100 Years
Good manners have always evolved—but some advice from the past now feels downright bizarre. A look back at etiquette rules from the 1880s through the 1970s reveals just how much society, parenting, and social norms have changed.
Highlights include:
1880s: Women limited to one glass of champagne and expected to keep their hair up at all times—except in private.
Early 1900s: Children were expected to never contradict adults and keep opinions to themselves.
1910s–1920s: Parents were advised to avoid hugging or kissing babies to prevent “spoiling” them.
1940s: Salt and pepper were inseparable at the table—always passed together.
1960s: The right hand was strictly the “social hand,” reserved for handshakes—not coughing, drinks, or purses.
1970s: Dinner bills were to be discussed before the meal to navigate changing gender roles.
It’s a reminder that what once passed for “proper” can feel completely out of touch just a few generations later.
What to Buy in January — The Smart Shopper’s Sweet Spot
January is one of the best months of the year for strategic shopping, thanks to post-holiday sales and inventory resets. Whether you’re upgrading your home, health, or wardrobe, this is when deals shine.
Fitness & Wellness: Gym memberships, home workout equipment, smartwatches, and activewear
Home Goods: Bedding, towels, blankets (hello, white sales), humidifiers, and routers
Electronics: TVs and tech discounted after football season to make room for new models
Winter Apparel: Coats, boots, gloves, and scarves—buy now for next year
Thrifted Finds: Donation drops surge after the holidays, making thrift stores goldmines

The Family Tech Talk Seniors Need: Password Safety, Two-Step Authentication & Rare White Pheasant News

The Tech talk to have with family over the holidays. We dive into why tracking passwords and setting up two-step authentication safely is a must—especially for seniors and elderly users. Plus we have hunting news of a rare pheasant. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC’ and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!
Rare White Pheasant Harvested in North Dakota
According to KFYR TV, a Minot, North Dakota hunter harvested a rare white Pheasant south of the city on December 7, 2025. 37-year-old Eric Henke of Minot first saw the bird a few years ago on his family farm. A couple weeks ago, he and six others, plus four dogs, went out for a pheasant hunt. The group flushed the bird, and it flew into some brush. It was flushed again about 10 yards from Henke. With a pull of the trigger from his Benelli Super Black Eagle II 12 gauge, the bird dropped and ran, thankful to have one of the dogs retrieve it for him. Henke is now having the bird mounted by Dakota Taxidermy in Bismarck, North Dakota.
In addition to being a rare white pheasant, it also had magnificent tail feathers that measured to about 22.5 inches long. Congrats Eric Henke!
The Importance of Tracking Passwords and Two-Step Authentication for Seniors and Families
Why Password Management Is More Important Than Ever
In today’s digital world, almost every essential service requires a password—banking, medical portals, email, social security accounts, utilities, and even prescription refills.
For elderly and older adults, managing multiple passwords can quickly become overwhelming. Forgotten passwords, locked accounts, and inaccessible phones can lead to stress, financial risk, and complete loss of access to critical services.
Common Problems Seniors Face:
Forgotten passwords or PINs
Locked accounts due to failed login attempts
Smartphones breaking, updating, or resetting
Two-step authentication codes sent to unavailable devices
Difficulty remembering complex security rules
Without a proper system in place, a simple phone update can become a major crisis.
What Is Two-Step Authentication (2FA) — and Why It Can Be Risky Without Backup
Two-step authentication (also called 2FA or multi-factor authentication) adds an extra layer of security by requiring:
Something you know (password)
Something you have (phone, text message, authentication app)
While 2FA improves security, it can lock users out permanently if:
The phone is lost or broken
The phone number changes
The device updates or resets
The authentication app is deleted
This is especially dangerous for seniors who rely on one single smartphone.
How to Set Up Two-Step Authentication the Right Way (Senior-Friendly)
To avoid lockouts, seniors and families should always set up backup access options.
Best Practices:
Save backup recovery codes on paper and digitally
Add a trusted family member’s email or phone number
Use authentication apps that allow device recovery
Avoid using only SMS codes when possible
Tip: Print recovery codes and store them in a safe, labeled folder at home.
Final Checklist for Seniors and Caregivers
Track all passwords in one secure place
Set up 2FA with backup recovery options
Share access with trusted family members
Store printed recovery information safely
Review passwords yearly or after major updates Final Thought - A broken phone or forgotten password should never mean losing access to your life.
