    Raffle tags - yeah or nay?

    That's awesome! I have no doubt that funds raised from most raffles (and auctions) do go to good projects - and what a great example you provide here. However, my issue is that western State fish and wildlife agencies have a lot of resources and a lot of ways to generate revenue...

    Raffle tags - yeah or nay?

    No, I do not believe for a second the funds raised move the needle one bit AND I also believe if the revenue were actually critical, there are many more ways to get it than pimping wildlife, AND I think the average beneficiary loses more than they 'receive' when it comes to raffle (or auction)...

    Any action or response from MTN Tough re: their partnership with muley freak?

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    I enjoyed the video - even though it's one of the only times I can recall not quite seeing eye-to-eye with your take on a public land/wildlife policy issue. It is an interesting, thought-provoking topic. I still see a major difference in private v. public trustees as the much more...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    I think this episode is a little too biased via the lens of a CPA with common private trust asset management/fiduciary standards while somewhat ignoring our political system and differences between public and private assets/trusts/beneficiaries. The checks and balances on political appointees...

    Proposed Big Game Season Structure (BGSS) 2025-2029 - Colorado

    Is it clear what the 2nd/3rd/4th rifle deer seasons for 2025-2029 BGSS will be or is there still uncertainty? I saw an appendix from/for the April 5 meeting that listed the staff recommendation (reverting back to old season structure) and a 'commissioner' proposal that more closely resembled the...

    Wyoming looks toward hunting agreement with tribes.

    https://wyofile.com/wyoming-tribal-impasse-over-hunting-rights-persists-despite-judicial-order/ Sounds like not much progress. I do hope the State and Tribes can work cooperatively on harvest and wildlife management. Wyoming officials would do themselves a favor if they recognized the scope...

    Muley Freak in trouble?

    Agree. I have a hard time supporting companies that graft on to influencers who turn out to have a history of multiple wildlife related offenses. Mtn Tough could have 10 Randy's...but 1 poacher...and if they knowingly support the poacher, I won't be buying any of their products. Unfortunate...

    Muley Freak in trouble?

    What BS from NightForce. Really disappointed in them. Can't believe any company with a *previously* solid reputation would even consider associating with someone like this...somebody is asleep at the switch.

    The Rinella Effect

    I generally agree, but I will say I bought some decent amateur camera equipment a couple years ago and started filming hunts and doing a little editing in the off season and I really enjoy being able to look back on them. I DO NOT post these hunts publicly on any social media - as I have zero...

    Did the Albany Co. Commissioners just screw public land owners without ANYONE noticing?

    Very well said. I've seen other attempts to close/vacate rights of way on public roads under the guise of 'bad actors ruining it for everyone' because there had been problems with littering or other inconveniences. I've long felt its a weak excuse at best - interestingly - I only see it applied...

    Arbitrary Hunting Goals

    I have no goals re: animal size, species, numbers. My emphasis is on spending quality time in quality places with quality people. I am trying to maximize hunts in particular with my 2 boys (3 and 5) and my dad (71). The neat thing...keeping a 5 year old and a 70 year old happy on a hunt has...

    FILM act

    To be clear - my proposal is we restrict/regulate anyone seeking to generate revenue (don't care whether they profit or not). Non-commercial content (i.e., family videos...even if posted to youtube) - fine to apply in the 'non-commercial' draw.

    FILM act

    I think what would be FAR better than federal land management agencies regulating commercial filming permits...states regulating tags/permits for any commercial use, including film/media production. You want to film your hunt and use it in any way to generate revenue - that's fine...we offer...

    AZ auction tags going away

    100% Agree. And with the demand for NR Big Game hunting in the West - I don't think there is any legitimacy to the arguments any auction tags bring in 'much needed funding' for wildlife. Western states could do any number of things and replace (or make more) revenue than is brought in with these...

    Influencers that get involved in the political process for wildlife and hunting

    I was luke-warm on meateater content, appreciated their approach relative to most other outdoor media, but wasn't super into any of their stuff...until they became the only name willing to help in the fight on corner crossing. I have enormous respect for them doing that - and lost a lot of...

    2024 AZ credit card hit

    If you apply as a group...does the charge show up on individual cards or would it only show on the group leader card/person who applied?

    Idaho NR Draw Bill HB587

    With the language, I wonder if this would require NR's to choose between a 'current' OTC/general tag or a controlled hunt? Right now, they buy the general and can apply for controlled hunts. Maybe its a separate draw, but I could see it being a whole lot easier/cheaper to just do one draw??

    Arizona 10% cap on Nonresidents

    Residency does not require living in WY year-round...May-November, no real enforcement, and remote/virtual work...I think WY might still be sparsely populated, but you may have a whole lot of new residents in the near future.

    Fixing Western Hunting

    Agreed. In addition to the remote work and other flexibilities that significantly reduce barriers to moving historically, also keep in mind getting residency typically only requires ~6 months in state per year. MT, WY, etc. get a lot easier to be a resident if you are only there May-Nov. I...
