    Fixing Western Hunting

    I think 'fixing Western hunting' is way too broad and undefined. I also think, as someone who fully acknowledges how good things 'used to be', there is way too much doom and gloom on social media re: Western Hunting. Not saying there aren't lots of things to do better on/at, or that anything...

    Be honest about your Wyoming elk app!

    I thought it was pretty well communicated what was at stake and there was a fair amount of pushback from NRs? None of it as impactful as Rs testifying in person, but several Rs shared key points that NRs pushed hard was my recollection. I know I personally had a couple weeks of email back and...

    Be honest about your Wyoming elk app!

    1pt, regular, hoping for better odds at a higher demand random tag. I normally do special. The $2k wasn't a deterrent - I just assumed most folks thinking special will be way better odds will actually decrease special odds v regular...in high demand units.

    Sheep show anyone

    First time to this show - was fun - lots of great folks. Real pro-tip for those on the fence about attending...bring your spouse. One night of my wife seeing millions exchange hands for coveted tags/hunts and I've successfully reset her baseline on what 'expensive' hunting means! The only...

    Iowa SF255 NR tags going to outfitters.

    This is exactly the message being pushed by commissioners in WA state...the beneficiary includes 95% of residents who dont hunt...so let's stop worrying so much about harvest and focus on the non consumptive users. It's a valid point, anti hunters and non hunters are indeed beneficiaries. I...

    Anti hunting group buys hunting rights

    Sort of tangential - but if there is a list of hunting/outdoor/media companies that have provided support for the corner crossing case - and a list of those who have not - it would be appreciated. I bought some MeatEater apparel when I saw them support the corner crossing go fund me page. I...

    Montana - Ballot Initiative would allow Montana Landowners to Hunt Without Permits

    Right, but the state of Montana, as a result of litigation from CSKT has an agreement that prohibits big game hunting by state licensed hunters within the reservation. They cooperatively manage fishing and bird hunting. Both Montana and CSKT claimed jurisdiction within the exterior bounds of...

    And they're off! Idaho tag rush Dec 2023

    The outfitter allocation, especially in some units makes me gag. I oppose any outfitter set-asides as a general philosophy, but can stomach maybe some small portion...but to see the demand for NR tags - and then see units where outfitters are being given more tags than is available in the...

    Montana - Ballot Initiative would allow Montana Landowners to Hunt Without Permits

    Montana v. United States. 1981 SCOTUS decision. Cross-posting a bit...but with that decision, I can't quite get this petition.

    I-193 to exempt MT Landowners from elk/deer/bear regs

    I thought the SCOTUS decision in Montana v. United States settled this concern: non-tribal member, on non-tribal fee land (that they own/have owner permission), within a reservation - subject only to state game regulations. Tribes could only regulate non-tribal members on tribal lands...

    Idaho 2024- start %itching now

    Yea...the most unfair in my view is the fact people can get many different 'places' in line via the private browser mode. Between that tactic, buying for multiple people, and private license vendor connections...the average person stands little chance on high demand tags.

    Idaho 2024- start %itching now

    License vendors, especially those away from the borders of other states, are the new hot spot...not to mention I assume everyone will be logging in multiple incognito/private browsers to get more 'spots' in line...even those standing/camping in line.

    Idaho 2024- start %itching now

    I think the Commissioner's discussing this are seeing money left on the table and want NR fees increased -with a potential side effect being reduced congestion on 1 Dec. I don't really support the concept. I'm tired of each western state constantly pushing this to be a rich person's game...

    Idaho 2024- start %itching now

    The 65k people logging in Dec 1 is 100% coming from NR. We are talking congestion/problems with Dec 1 tag sale. Not congestion in the 'woods' during hunting season.

    Idaho 2024- start %itching now

    I don't follow your logic. There is a price point that will drop demand significantly.

    Idaho 2024- start %itching now

    At least one Commissioner has an idea to help resolve the congestion...significantly raise NR tag prices.

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    It was a good podcast. I was glad to see him go on MeatEater since they were the only hunting/outdoor company I'm aware of that got behind these guys in the beginning. Crickets from all the other big names and companies.

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    Perhaps fred and crew should just stay off their ranch if they feel it is unsafe. Asinine to suggest a neighboring landowner stay off their property because it makes you uncomfortable...ESPECIALLY given the testimony/evidence of freds henchmen harassing hunters.

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    Completely agree. I bet there are a lot of checkerboard and even folks with completely enclosed public lands that might want to come to the negotiating table that previously would have scoffed at any such suggestion. Will be important for public lands advocates to ensure we get a fair deal on...
