Had some issues with the power up here in Brady, then some tech issues on the rendering of the video with this new Adobe program, so I am a couple days behind in getting this out.
Today's Newsletter - Clearing Up Crazy Mountain Public Access Muddy Waters
I have a wee bit of a rebuttal on a...
I have been doing some organizational work on the Crazy Mountain section of the website to deal with the larger amount of documents coming and what I already have. I set up the Letters page, which includes the three sportsmen's letters, all of which went to Daines.
I just got a letter from...
No, the out of state landowner bought it with that section of road already there, put in an outfitter manager, cut off access and still wanted the FS to maintain the road.
Due to a number of public land hunters taking the time to report this and a number of us writing to the FS and calling...
For those that think I am crazy when I see patterns in my news aggregating erupting, whether it be transfer of federal public lands, local trespass traps/corner crossing, Russian connections, etc...
Privatizing our road/trail access brought to you by PERC, once again, like toll roads, where...
Dave Campbell, retired District Ranger in the Bitterroot, who was helpful in the recent Hughes Creek Road situation, had his oped come out in the Gazette.
Reinstate Gallatin Ranger Sienkiewicz
I just back from the west side of the Crazy Mountains (it's bloody hot today), doing some...
That article just came out yesterday. It wouldn't surprise me if it was part of an orchestration to begin saying that the fed isn't doing their job, it needs to be turned over to the locals to do it.
I just got notification that Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT), "asked unanimous consent that he may hereafter be considered as the first sponsor of H.R. 622, a bill originally introduced by Representative Chaffetz, for the purpose of adding cosponsors and requesting reprintings pursuant to clause 7 of...
I doubt the Bozeman Chronicle will run my oped, even though I live in Bozeman, because I specifically mentioned Daines by name, but they ran another LTE today.
Public land not for just the select, wealthy few
The author made me smile for a number of reasons. ;)
On another note, not having...
Nameless, thanks for the link, I downloaded the two for the Crazy Mountains. I had already purchased a book last fall, written on Ranger stations in MT, which included the Big Timber and another Crazy Mountain Ranger Station. The research that author had came from the MSU Research library, so I...
Charles, thank you, that might be good to take a look at, take some screen shots from.
A phone conversation reminded me this evening that I had requested all that population survey data from 2008 to present, on Bighorns and Mountain Goats, for all of Montana a couple years ago. I pulled up the...
In my MT FWP license request, I just received notice that 4 of my 14 did not have Montana Hunting licenses. The names were listed.
That means Sen. Orrin Hatch and Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue do have Montana hunting licenses. I realize that Montana is a great hunting and fishing destination, just...
Livingston ENTERPRISE EDITORIAL: Sienkiewicz reassignment raises questions
This is an important point, which is trying to be swept under the rug. "We would strongly disagree with the forest supervisor.
Sienkiewicz is a public official and any such review should be open and available for...
Z Barebow, thank you. Hopefully with some of these FOIA's and Public Information Requests I have recently put in, we can shine a light on some of this better. I am anxious for the FWP hunting license and tag one, see which of these guys put in or received tags in the Crazy Mountain hunt...
I just had another letter sent to me early this evening. This one is from the Montana Stockgrowers Association, the Crazy Mountain Stockgrowers Association and another group on public lands they represent. This one dates to December 30, 2016, written to Custer Gallatin National Forest Mary...
I am working on the Crazy Mountain map, the hunting aspect and the outfitting information on the Crazies. I think when people visually see what I have, it will be eye opening as to a good portion of the local motivation of what is driving this.
I also have a number of FOIAs arriving, one of...
