    Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance

    So, your real argument against e.bikes is that it would increase access. So I guess that the only reason horses are okay, is because few people use them. So, if you're wealthy enough to own horses, or hire outfitters, you can have access, but others can't? The forest service basically allows...

    Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance

    Are e.bikes motorized? Yep, definitely. However, would an e.bike gain you as much access over walking as a horse would? Nope, not even close. E.bikes also pretty much leave no trace that they were on a road or trail, horses leave a mess. Is the real issue with e.bikes that they are...

    Montana Legislature - 1 month until the Show

    There used to be a time when a sensible person could actually win an election in Flathead county. Been a while though.

    5 things on your bucket list

    I don't really have a bucket list, but for the last few years I've made up a list of outdoor activities to do that year. All things that I could easily do, but don't, and they go back on the list for the next year. Seems like there all always reasons not to accomplish these simple goals. This...

    Hunt Talker 2023 Fitness Goals

    Been between 183 and 190lb for at least the last 15 years. Want to get down below 170 and stay there. Have always tried to stay active and exercise a lot. However, now at age 62, I've finally figured out that my eating habits have to change, if I actually want to lose weight. More time...

    5 things about you.

    Yeah, calling myself Irishman, was kind of a clue. The Gaelic football thing, and car bombs, would definitely add to the suspicion.

    5 things about you.

    1) Played in Irish Gaelic Football Finals (notice I didn't say won). 2) Watched car bombs explode. 3) Had to put may hands in the air, along a dark road late at night, while a machine gun was pointed at my back by a nervous soldier. Ha. 4) Got to play on soccer teams with all my sons. 5) Won...

    Montana home insurance. any insurance guys here

    Odd you would suggest that I don't want them to make a profit, just because I have an issue with them making $billions while raising premiums. It's not just the reported profit, it's CEO's getting close to $100 million in compensation, basically as their reward for raising premiums on people...

    Montana home insurance. any insurance guys here

    So insurance companies are pulling out of regions that they don't make big profits in? Not exactly shocking. Some of the bigger home and auto insurance companies made profits in the $Billions in 2020 and 2021. They haven't reported 2022 profits yet.

    Montana home insurance. any insurance guys here

    The Insurance industry makes massive profits. So when their costs go up, you can bet that your cost will go up even more.

    Who gets more sun in the winter?

    Sunshine just brightens up your outlook on life. I've been spending today plotting an escape to a sunnier place. Don't know what Wenatchee is like, but here in Kalispell Montana you see very little sun. Sometimes you can travel a few miles from town and be in sunshine when Kalispell doesn't...

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    I'm looking out the window of my house here in Kalispell. I see the new houses, the new apartments, and the school, all in what used to be farmland when I moved in. Thinking about how things used to be, is just a depressing exercise. There are still many great places in Montana to get away...

    Montana Corner Crossing Updated?

    Is there any logic behind making corner crossing illegal? Nobody really cares if your shoulders infringe on the corner of their land, or even if your foot stepped on their land for a second. It's all about outfitters and private landowners trying to keep you away from public land and public...

    Montana Corner Crossing Updated?

    If corner crossing was made illegal then that quality would be lost to the public overnight, and with it access to thousands of acres of huntable public land.

    Loan for hunting

    I don't think that the idea of borrowing the money is that crazy. It depends on how important the Alaska adventure is to you. It's a balance, planning for the long term future responsibly, but yet not doing it at the expense of the present and near future. The present and near future is the...

    More Discounted Non-residents licenses for Montana

    I just got to thinking about how none of these programs would help me if I left the state. Maybe I should get McGillvray to sponsor a bill that allows you to buy an in state license after you've paid Montana taxes for 40 years, no matter where you live. Ha.
