    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    Agreed. Bigfin mentioned legal theory and legal research - which I think is important - but at the end of the day I think sportsman will be best served by rubber meeting the road via the courtroom. We can all opine and speculate, but lets get cases like this in front of some judges. IMO...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    Several great points - but this is one I really agree with and can't figure out from the landowner side. Landowners contending they can legally block public lands via corner cross have almost nothing to gain and a lot to lose. Ambiguity and threats are their best friend. If they lose this...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing Defense Fund

    I agree. I'm sure I'm not the only sportsman that will be watching how the various organizations, celebrities, platforms, service providers, or outdoor gear companies do or do not support this effort. All these people and entities like to profit off of DIY/western public land...

    CWD positives in Idaho

    I wonder if the game farm just outside Riggins has anything to do with the location of the detections???

    Land swap would create 38,000-acre public block in SE Wyo

    Any details (or WY guys) familiar with the scattered BLM parcels being offered up? Seems like a fair deal but would be good to confirm from sportsmen in the area.

    When to start burning points?

    Agree to disagree. Your graph implies fairly static conditions...which couldn't be further from reality in western big game hunting...you even articulate one of the major reasons (states changing rules/hunts/tag numbers etc.) in your post. But we also need to add in point creep...the unit you...

    When to start burning points?

    I look at points a bit like investing or saving for retirement...even if you don't know exactly how you plan to 'burn' them, you are probably better off giving yourself options in the future by having more points. Obviously this requires a budgetary consideration - and yes - you may end up...

    Corner Crossing

    I support this idea and it's what I was getting at with equal property rights. If your neighbor was a jerk and never let you cross his place...why let him on yours?

    Corner Crossing

    Agreed...at the state level. I'm talking federal.

    Corner Crossing

    I agree, matching willing buyers and sellers making FMV transactions is a good process and this may work well for some parcels. I believe there are several groups working this angle. My point was the political winds of this country do not leave an infinite amount of sand in the hour glass for...

    Corner Crossing

    I think there are many factors that would effect the market price of an easement between willing seller/buyer. But if we get to a point of legislative action/eminent domain...I doubt the compensation will be anywhere close to 5 figures...as explained by VG. It won't happen over night, but with...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    I draw a clear distinction between what people do with their own personal social media accounts and for-profit commercial activity on public lands. It is the latter that I have some concerns should be better regulated via film permits and/or state tag allocation rules. The monetization of...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    Yes, good point. Price v Barr is why in my previous comment I also noted that states take a role by regulating tags/applications for those interested in commercially producing content. They regulate outfitters...who make a buck off finite public resources...no reason not to regulate the content...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    Not every state/hunt is managed on a quota basis; in fact, a significant portion is OTC. A lot of hunts are over the counter and state bio's are not empowered to just curtail seasons on a timescale commensurate with the impacts...in fact there are extroardinary political and administrative...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    Apples and oranges to compare businesses using public resources such as roads and fire departments to businesses exploiting very finite public resources like fish and wildlife. The latter needs more regulation/enforcement because the potential for irreparable harm is much greater than if say we...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    I'm aware, but its basically unenforced and my perception is it is mostly procedural (e.g., have you guys had many denials when you've drawn/acquired tags?). I favor more strict enforcement and regulation on both acquiring film permits and tags (when they are used in commercial activity). The...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    Social media has certainly replaced the sporting goods store billboards and campfires where hunts and pictures used to be shared...the latter being much less efficient! I enjoy the youtube videos as much as the next guy, but I do think the regulations need to be a lot tighter on commercial...

    Idaho considers giving more NR tags to outfitters

    Looks as though Idaho is set to give what the outfitters want...in some cases it will be half of the available tags for the unit or zone. Sounds like a decision will occur at a special September 1 meeting...
