Evaluate the ROI on Education
I think anything we currently do sitting at a computer, will eventually be doable by AI. The timeline might be longer than folks think, but I agree that those jobs that will be hardest to replace will be ones that are chiefly physical. As far as a time for deep knowledge simply for the sake of...- Nameless Range

Evaluate the ROI on Education
It’s a real interesting thread. Particularly for me, as I try my best to inform/advise my children on decisions they need or will need to make regarding futures as they get older. This thread is full of anecdote, but there’s hard data out there that makes a compelling case for college. I do...- Nameless Range

Montana House Bill 676 - This could sell off 1.25M acres of State Trust Lands - that's almost 25%!!! This is not the Homesteading Bill
This is a totally different bill now. Whether in the end I agree or disagree with what it’s changed to, the change is both a good one, and another piece of evidence that so much of our legislative branch is a rigoddamndiculous pile of ideas, tactics, and politicians.- Nameless Range

MT Mule Deer permit app decision
The big mac is one of the most overrated fast food burgers out there - kind of like that best local place you can think to hunt.- Nameless Range

Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!
That's interesting and sucks. I've registered more than a dozen drones with the FAA, and it usually takes less than a day, though I haven't done it in 2025. Be sweet to see that drone you've purchased in action. Back in 2017, the FAA did a study on drones vs manned aircraft using a Phantom 3...- Nameless Range

Land management agency impact stories...
The Elkhorn Working Group sent this letter to Montana's congressional delegation this week. I know in the age of modern politics, it's easy to just dismiss criticisms of current policy as political. That said, knowing many members of this group I can say with certainty that politics doesn't...- Nameless Range

Trapping Thread 2024/2025
First check with my youngest son on a pond I’d been eyeballing all winter. Finally getting a bit of open water here and there in this neck of the woods so this is what we’ll be doing for the next few weeks.- Nameless Range

Montana missouri breaks sheep 2025 regs.
I think often about this quote from Norman Maclean's story "Black Ghost". He was talking about sheep's propensity to graze the earth leaving nothing else for other critters, and he wrote it on a hunch that a hunter purposefully started this fire to incinerate a herd of domestic sheep, but the...- Nameless Range

I hope the recent corner crossing ruling out of Wyoming gives folks another angle from which to look at this one. From my conservative friends to my more liberal ones, overwhelmingly it is the opinion of Montana‘s that corner crossing should be a legitimate way to access otherwise in accessible...- Nameless Range

10th Circuit Corner Crossing Ruling: What does this mean for MT?
Much like Stream Access Law, we can now watch as the Sky Doesn't Fall, property prices do not plummet, and private property rights are not egregiously infringed upon. I know that doesn't really speak to legality, but I do see it generating evidence for the public to view against the fearmongers...- Nameless Range

Weapon or technology restrictions?
Some of the best diamonds in the rough I have found are weapon restrictions areas. It's kind of amazing the amount of pressure a place can take - particularly whitetail - when folks don't have centerfire rifles. That said, some of the modern rifled/scope slug guns make me wonder, and I think in...- Nameless Range

Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?
On a smaller scale and on different issues, but over and over it seems, there is a tendency for a govt program to spin up where initially the taxes/revenue/proceeds are said to be dedicated to X. But then, over time and often not long after, those proceeds are looked at a cookie jar for some...- Nameless Range

Whatever happened to..?
I don’t feel the change that others feel here. It’s a real bummer when valuable people leave, but I can go back and read threads from 15 years ago and they seem just as potentially toxic and negative, albeit with less moderation - there was generally a thicker community skin then. I bet I pay...- Nameless Range
