What does this mean?
I don't think anyone here wants to trespass which is why I'm looking for clarification on this ruling. Lots of people are calling this a win, so what have we as the public won? Boating access only like in Colorado? The right to walk and wade up and down rivers like in...
Most press releases and related articles I've read don't seem to explicitly address exactly what can and can't be done under this new ruling. The article from the NMBHA Chapter tells anglers not to trespass across private land to access or exit a waterway. I get not cutting across someones...
Back in the late 80's or early 90's my parents went for a hike in the Indian Peaks Wilderness in Colorado that took them up above treeline to about 12,000 ft. I remember them telling me a story about an animal that they thought might have been a Badger that they encountered. They said it...
This past October I brought home 45 lbs of Mahi-Mahi that I caught in Mexico. About 20 lbs was a carry-on in a soft sided cooler that I stuffed into an overhead bin, and another 25 lbs or so was checked in another soft sided cooler that we crammed into my wife's large suitcase. It had to go...
A few years ago my wife and I got home really late for some reason and realized we had forgotten to throw all the sheets in the dryer earlier so they were still wet. We were tired and didn't feel like dealing with it so we just threw our sleeping bags on top of the mattress and went to sleep...
Another article on the topic from a few weeks ago.

I wish there was a better way to adopt Montana-like river access laws than trying to prove that 19th century trappers floated beaver pelts downstream on their way...
It's ok because nobody knows any Foghat songs aside from Slow Ride. And I mean nobody. I would believe someone saw bigfoot before I believed that they knew another Foghat song not called Slow Ride. Based on the billboards I see along the highways from time to time, Foghat is still limping...
Very cool! What a piece of Ski History! I bet you and your family know the same people I do very well as they were longtime Ski Patrollers at HV.
Yeah A-Basin was one of the last great ski areas for sure. We used to camp in that upper lot across the highway when it was still allowed. I'm...
That's a cool old mug! I actually used to work with some old school ski bums that worked at Hidden Valley and Berthoud Pass long ago. The reality is that most of those now inoperative ski areas on that map closed down due to lack of snow, rising operation costs, and an inability to compete with...
I used to have a CB in an old 4x4 and never used it much because nobody else that I knew had one. Lately I've been thinking of getting some type of additional radio comms in a Jeep I'm building into a hunting/camping rig, but I would rather have some sort of long range communication capability...
I have Elk Ivory in my wedding ring, and my wife has some in her wedding band from a cow I shot one year which we both packed out together. I think she found a jeweler in Utah that used ivory in a lot of his work and just mailed him one to use in the order. If I can find his name I'll send it...
This is my "Franken-Buck" from Colorado. He had a very large body and the taxidermist said based on his teeth he thought he was 6 or 7 years old. I suppose he falls into the category of "Cactus Buck" and possibly never shed his antlers which could be why he has such massive bases and the...
Texas is now the guy at the bar asking the Patagonia wearing couple from Colorado if they want to sell him their property because he needs another vacation home.

Can't people just say "I got one" or "We all got one"?
Tagging in or tagging out reminds me of old WWF tandem wrestling matches where they fake body slam each other. When people tell me they have tagged out it does make me want to hit them with a folding...
I think I listened to a podcast about a guy trying to do this in Wyoming a few years ago. He said he never could catch them because at times they would join other Pronghorn while running and then split up again. This confused the runner and he would end up chasing a different Pronghorn with a...
