    Bison - Do We Care (Enough)?

    Many of you followed along with the bison hunt stories of @Bluffgruff and @YoungGun of their free-range bison hunts. I've been lucky to have three free-range bison tags. When I reached out to these guys and suggested a podcast to promote the cause of bison, they were quick to offer. After...

    What's This About? Three Montana Conservation Organizations Forgotten Their History/Roots?

    It seems he is pissed that groups finally relented on the pressure to stop the logging in the Bozeman municipal watershed. City of Bozeman did a study to see the greatest vulnerabilities to its water source. The result showed the greatest risk is a catastrophic fire in the Sourdough Creek area...

    An enjoyable article

    That hit my feed yesterday. I found it very interesting and the parallels we see here in the US. Thanks for sharing.

    Paying for Comforts with Wildlife

    This Fresh Tracks weekly video expands on some popular topics that have been discussed here on Hunt Talk. It revolves around one of my favorite Aldo Leopold lines … “Now we face the question whether a still higher 'standard of living' is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.” When...

    Massive Nevada Solar Farm on BLM

    This, and most all of our policy decisions that revolve around how we maintain/increase our standards of living via human comforts provided at the lowest price possible, was long ago summarized by Aldo Leopold. I think of his below line every time I see these debates about providing resources...

    UPOM suing FWP over elk regulations

    Not sure how a thread abut UPOM suing Montana and getting their asses kicked in court ended up being a bitch session about conservation groups. If folks want to start a thread on conservation groups and their accomplishments, start one. Happy to jump in and advocate for all the groups who do...

    UPOM suing FWP over elk regulations

    Hmm. What years were you analyzing? When I was on the Board and chaired the Finance Committee, Charity Navigator, the service that ranks large non-profits, came up with 88-90% every year for the percentage of funds that went to program expenses. I just went to their financial statements and...

    Randy Needs to Write a Book & I Need Your Help

    Thanks for thinking of my interest in this. Nicole has been hounding me to do this for years. I always explain, "Yeah, when I have time, I'll get to it." Which has never really happened, as I never have time and I don't see anything real "print worthy" in my writings. I also have a portfolio...

    Project 2025 and Conservation

    Lots of good groups working on public access. As @SAJ mentioned, TNC is a big player in that game, as is The Trust For Public Lands. Your local land trust group is probably working on it with a shoestring budget. In the critter groups, RMEF is actually a non-profit land trust, so they would be...

    Lay off the Political BS

    Agree. And that is the fine balance to useful moderation when politicians have hijacked many of our issues. Yet, most of the threads started recently have zero connection to the issues of public lands, conservation, access, etc. So, I have locked those threads. I've left open another thread...

    Lay off the Political BS

    I'm on the road with limited coverage. It seems this is the week that everyone wants to convert Hunt Talk to Facebook. I haven't had time to drill into all of the political threads, so I just locked them. I will continue to lock any political threads or threads and get drawn into the ditch of...
