I didn't have time to post this the other day, still dealing with this new PLWA website, but wanted to get this out before I forgot. I am very concerned by the falsities, outright lies, being presented by Patricia Randolf of the Center For Biological Diversity.
Patricia Randolph's...
I prefer to fight them with documentation. Spent another afternoon at county records, this time looking up railroad grants. They have this beautiful sentence in there about public access roads/trails being retained when they sold those grant parcels to individuals or companies.
Afterward, I...
Downing’s attack on court, FWP crosses line
The Bozeman Chronicle editorial staff wrote this article, citing "half-baked conspiracy theories" and calling for an apology to Judge Brown.
We will see what transpires tomorrow.
Just a reminder, the Friends of the Crazy Mountains will be having their fundraiser and raffle tomorrow evening.

Not specific to my being investigated, but this is part of what I addressed in my newsletter, the bigger picture I see transpiring; the divisive and derogatory labeling of conservation hunters and anglers as "green decoys" and "environmentalists" to marginalize us from the narrative.
His...
His being a combat veteran has nothing to do with this. The recent ass that shot up a church in Texas was a vet. The man in Bozeman whose daughter ran into my parked suburban, who works with a veteran fishing 501C3, lied about the following communications and his piddly, undervalued, supposed...
After reading the Chronicle article today on Downing's FWP citations, it reminded me that I wanted to call FWP and see if Naji Filali or Percipient Strategies had requested anyone else's hunting license history.
I was the only one requested. I have one other question I forgot to ask and follow...
Documents reveal new details in U.S. Senate candidate’s alleged hunting violationshttps://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/news/politics/documents-reveal-new-details-in-u-s-senate-candidate-s/article_3a8b4bc9-9fa9-5eb6-88f2-f69d631d0e84.html
I agree, I was very disappointed with his perspectives of public lands/resources, especially his stance of litigation being the avenue for polluting, for example, instead of preventative regulations. Not only can that mentality lead to superfund sites, but we see this in public access here in...
Naji Filali was originally a Libertarian when he was at Harvard, wrote a number of articles on it. He did an internship with Sen. Rand Paul in 2011. In 2014 he was the business manager for the Harvard Political Review (graduated that year). "He looks to make the ideas of Ron Paul and F. A. Hayek...
Weekends and evenings suck sometimes, not being part of the normal business hours that I can request information and such. Inquiring minds want to know...
Thankfully, I remembered seeing Quists hunting license history request, so I don't have to wait for Monday to get it.
The Quist request was...
As a disclaimer, I understand opposition research on candidates, it is the nature of the political beast; though I don't respect outright lies, misrepresentation, dark money agendas, out of state corporate machinations, etc.
I knew when I got started in conservation and began the EMWH site and...
Just a heads up for any hunters in the area, this road rerouting was completed and public access is restored in this area.
The Forest Service has already had some good feedback and thank yous from hunters already.
It has not always been cut off, this is a more recent development.
As to the articles statement that Brad would go in with bolt cutters and tear the gate down, that is not what he said. Brad knows that gate is private property. He said the Forest Service should deal with the gate. He is...

I filmed this off the Yellowstone River, Fish - Wildlife & Park's Buffalo Mirage Fishing Access Site.
Guthrie often tinkered with his song lyrics over the years. In one version, Guthrie wrote about a "No Trespassing" sign.

I feel that is debatable.
They missed the key threat against our prescriptive easement process and roads/trails being removed from future maps/publications nationwide. Instead, they went off against "elitist big game trophy hunting" with Trump Jr., Daines, Gianforte and the Dallas Safari Club.
2017 Western States Conservation Scorecard
At the end of the study are the one page overviews for each of the 8 states (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming).
I heard this afternoon, from several sources, that Alex Sienkiewicz was going to be restored to his District Ranger position. I called the Livingston Forest Service office for confirmation and was told by the acting District Ranger that Sienkiewicz was being restored as District Ranger, about...
