I’ve never understood this; It’s 100% lawful to fly a powered parachute with no minimum altitude restrictions - as long as you aren’t flying over large groups of people. But without that device on your back you can’t penetrate the airspace of private property with a part of your body in the...
Who runs these “click farms?” They don’t do a great job at advertising and some of us could use their help. Surprised they don’t look for customers on sites like this.
I wish more applicants would take this advice and not apply in the main draw, regardless of the points they have. It’s a great...
Stopped in at FWP today and bought my licenses. Chose the app. Asked the clerk how that was going and he said on the first day the app came out 77 people validated their deer, elk, or bear tags. As of today there is not a way for FWP to reinstate their tags. I wonder what that number will be...
I bet about a handful of mature kings get landed from the banks on the Kenai. Those big fish stick to the main current. That’s why the counters are where they are. The combat fishermen are in the reds, pinks, and a few silvers. Every time I have ever seen a King get hooked from the bank of the...
My take: I would bet it has little to do with the group who have had seasons cancelled altogether, or limited to artificial bait/single barbless hook/ and eventually catch and release every year. My guess is it has to do with the commercial industry, but my only credentials are that I take...
Absolutely true.
Crazy how a hunter in NW MT a few years back (who had a tag and shot an extra ram and a ewe) got a 32k fine. This guy shoots a hell of a ram without a tag and leaves if for the coyotes and gets 5.2k.
I assume this is a pic of the ram. Not sure why it didn’t qualify for the $30k fine.

To Grey’s credit I received a very nice, lengthy, and well written response to my email from him today. It was much appreciated to get a reply since I don’t think most CEO’s would do that. I see both sides, the “it was a legal ram” side, and the “it was a 4.5yr old dink”. I respect the other...
They will assign the case to the crew of guys who had a regular old deadhead ram in a closet for over a year, oh that’s a world record and people are asking questions about it…maybe we should dig it out in a few months.
I just fired off an email to Gray Thornton asking that Craig’s latest WSF article be his last. He should be holding himself to a high standard and he has obviously slipped well below that threshold. What an embarrassment.
When the govt offered an early military retirement back in 2015 I jumped on it with 17yrs of service. I think I “lost” $500 a month in retirement pay vs what I would have made staying to 20. A great friend of mine was waiting to qualify for the program, which required 15yrs of service, but he...
