Byorth’s experience during the changeover was likely no different than any other member of an opposite party to the new admin in the past, present, or future.
Politics, not competence, is what it’s all about.
I Shoot for 20-25. I just don’t like all the grease. Personal preference I suppose.
I just did a batch with her Mango-habanero brat seasoning and added dried mangos to it…….out of this world!
I spend WAY too much time making jerky, sticks, and several kinds of sausage thru the winter. Easily done 300# since Xmas. Tons of fun and saves $$. You can turn out better quality than a processor as well.
That’s MT for you. The stuff Wardens let slide, let alone won’t bother to even look at, vs the offenses they go balls-deep in is pretty astounding. Then, if cited, the penalties that some of these guys get is laughable.
As said above, about all you can do is let ‘em know your disgust.
I have two vert gas smokers (10+ years) and a camp chef pellet that I’ve had for 10 months.
The big advantage of a vert smoker to me, is the amount of capacity for the cost. One of my vert smokers easily holds 2x what the pellet grill does for ~1/3 of the price tag.

A man with work ethic and proper outlook is never “out of a job.” Just moving to a new one. My bet is, you’ll look back on this time some day and smile.

If the hunt involves camping (backpack tent, wall tent, or camper), it’d have to be a pair of crocs. Way handier than putting on/taking off boots every time in and out. Weigh next to nothing to pack.
Super!
They're probably habitual slobs….God knows they wouldn’t get caught or prosecuted breaking the law here……unless they happened to stumble across an episode of Wardens being filmed…
Back to the topic of this thread, I think we HAVE to go to some version of pick your weapon and pick an area.
Commission has to be made up some other way than gov appointee. There is too much politics and everyone loses then.
We may as well not have biologists now a days either, because we...
Sure. But a HUGE reason that quality of experience and population dynamics is lack of access. Or as Buzz would refer to, the ranchers harboring all the elk. And a huge reason, for that, I think, is that landowners have no incentive to put up with poaching and trespassing, and find it easier to...
