    Grazing fees, the economics of elk and cattle

    I do agree that a lot of the west areas of MT & WY included are just about the most horrible places to raise cattle imaginable; hard winters, minimal rainfall, lousy feed, big predators, etc. The only reason that industry got started in the west to begin with is because land was cheap or free...

    "Greenwashing at it's best"

    Our town has a recycling program where you can set a tub of plastic, aluminum, metal, paper & carboard out by the curb along with your trash for pickup. They also have several containers staged around the county for rural folks who wanted to recycle to dispose of these materials. In my line of...

    Grazing fees, the economics of elk and cattle

    Don't necessarily disagree, but if you eat, you contribute to this.

    Grazing fees, the economics of elk and cattle

    Except we live in the present and not the 1700's. Used to have a huntable population of dinosaurs too.

    Grazing fees, the economics of elk and cattle

    In many areas of the country such as the midwest, the majority of ground is privately owned and the majority of wildlife reside on this private land. While many farm and ranch practices destroy habitat and are not good for wildlife, a great deal of wildlife gets a great deal of their feed from...

    Retrieval of game from private land in Montana

    This is a very common issue in the midwest, particularly with archery hunting. In my state, and most it is illegal to track wounded game onto private property without first securing landowner permission. Everything is private and there are many small acreages. Although completely legal, I...

    What's your set up this year ?

    Just a simple Remington 1/87 vent rib with bead and some turkey loads. Same gun I shoot waterfowl and sporting clays with. Never saw the need for a specialty turkey shotgun.

    Question About Hiring

    Say a business is looking to hire a customer service rep of some type and two candidates meet the qualifications. One is an average normal looking individual and the other is covered in tats, piercings and has freaky colored hair. Would it be considered discrimination if you hired the normal...

    Being Valentines day, we will be going out to supper tonight with another couple and here's the scenario we expect out of the wives: Wives - What's your special? Waiter - Surf & turf, a 6oz fillet, shrimp on a skewer and a ceasar salad with wine. Wives - OK, I'll have the special but instead of...

    Thawing Processed Meat

    Package your burger in vac seal bags, then smash flat before sticking in freezer so they stack nice and take up less space. The flat packages thaw in thirty minutes or so in a bowl of warm water.

    First World Problem - Would You Buy Land Right Now??

    Purchased our first 100 acres for $750/acre in 1989 which was about the going price at the time. This ground has earned +/- $10,000 per year every year ($350,000), it's now easily worth 10X or $7,500/acre, plus we've lived on the place the entire time. Maybe not a get rich quick scheme, but...

    First World Problem - Would You Buy Land Right Now??

    I've bought (7) farms in the last +/-35 years, several of which are primarily recreation / hunting ground with some crop ground to generate some income, pay taxes, etc. If it's a piece you really want, then you had better act swiftly. In most cases you will only get a chance to buy that piece...

    Ramsey debt viewpoint explained

    This is generally the case, lifestyle creep eats up the money they tell themselves they will be investing and getting higher returns on; nicer cars, more toys, nicer vacations, dining out, etc.

    Ramsey debt viewpoint explained

    Go back in history a little bit and todays interest rates are nothing out of the ordinary. We paid 9.9% for a mortgage in 1990. The low +/- 3% rates for several years were unusual.

    Ramsey debt viewpoint explained

    I agree also. Haven't had any personal debt (mortgage) for over 25 years. We ran a 65 employee $30 mil annual revenue business for many years before selling out without ever borrowing money. Use leverage if you want, bankers need and appreciate you ..... but you can do just fine without...
