    Arbitrary Hunting Goals

    Anything I would have as a goal would be very "arbitrary" and likely change about once a week. My last goal, one that has persisted for over 40 years, will be met this August when I get to sit atop the MacKenzie Mountains and try to drink in what true "wildness" really is. If I get a sheep or...

    Randy Newberg wins a big award!

    Thanks to all of you. Thanks to the many great people at RMEF who donate so much of their time, talent, and money to a vital cause. Thanks to so many who provided their support, encouragement, and wise counsel. We cannot thank you enough. It is rare that I am at a loss for words. I was the...

    Did the Albany Co. Commissioners just screw public land owners without ANYONE noticing?

    Looks like they took a page from the Montana playbook. Sorry to see this. There is case law out there where elected officials who pawned away a public right were sued and the public's right was restored by the courts. It was not easy and it was expensive, part of which I suspect goes into the...

    How old is the HT?

    Views drive revenue if the video is or can be monetized. A lot of our stuff cannot be monetized because it has guns, knives, and dead animals. And on videos we can monetize, the biggest variable is how much the companies bid for their CPM (cost per thousand ads) to be inserted by YouTube into...

    How old is the HT?

    I'm not sure what it does. I suspect the higher the number of subscribers, the higher the bids companies make to place pre-roll or mid-roll ads in content from that channel. It also is likely to increase the number of people who ask for "alerts" when content is posted by that channel. I suspect...

    How old is the HT?

    It's the entire audience, not just the subscribers. Our views come from non-subscribers much more than subscribers. I am often being reminded that I need to ask people to subscribe. Just not my style. If they want to subscribe, fine. If not, no biggie.

    How old is the HT?

    Per Google Analytics, younger than our FB audience, older than our IG audience. Very close to our YT audience.

    North Dakota BHA podcast with Randy Newberg

    Thanks for having me, Brock. And thanks for taking on this project. I know your volunteerism has become almost a full-time job and adding this podcast project is even more work. I appreciate the invitation.

    Proposed Dolores Canyons National Monument

    That's very interesting. Lots to think about as to what is expressed in those results, and why. Thanks for posting @Oak.

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    Dang, this thread has devolved into what the opponents of hunting and wildlife management would hope. Pick off the Colorado and Washington hunters, first. Then Nevada hunters (yes, they’re already trying to reform the NV commission statutes). Then (insert vulnerable state here). As a student...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    What is becoming obvious in the short time this proposal has been put out for discussion is how hard change is to implement. And that difficulty is why I give a ton of credit to the people committing their time and effort to this cause, whatever is the final product. It takes a lot of gumption...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    This represents a ton of work from a lot of people. I'm grateful for their work. This is not easy to plow through. When I look at how much opportunity continues with this proposal and compare it to the current system, I think these proposals are beneficial to deer/elk in Montana, even if it...

    Congratulations to @Big Fin, conservation leader!

    Thanks to all of you. Hunt Talk is a large part of the eyes and ears of our platforms. I pick up a lot of information here and have formed some valuable relationships with people who are working their butts off in their respective states. This is a cool recognition that means a lot to me, my...

    NM 43 for Deer

    Yeah. I’m at MSP, on my way home from two weeks of travel and that stuff gets posted. I don’t have time for that, especially when it is directed at a guy who’s been through the shit Cushman has. Hopefully the guy is a good of a hunter as he is at making implies threats. If so, he’ll kill a...

    2024 BHA Rendezvous in Minneapolis

    Dan’s work should be appreciated for anyone drawing a Colorado sheep permit. His words to thank everyone and deflect accolades from himself to others was noted. The act of advocacy is a selfless endeavor and he exemplifies such. Happy to see him recognized. He made a point to tell me of the...

    Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024

    Agree. Great point. The reality is, we need energy. We aren't going to stop energy development, and it wouldn't be responsible to advocate for no energy. We need to require that these projects accommodate wildlife, even if it adds costs. Without a voice given to wildlife, lowest cost will be...
