    Voting Hunters

    I just walked in the door after a few great days fishing with Mrs. Fin. You folks better get it out of your system - this one's gonna get locked in the morning. Or, maybe sooner, once I get the truck unpacked and the fish vacuum sealed and in the freezer.

    Idaho tag reissue sale

    Hmm. Catch more walleyes or stop fishing to get a leftover tag in a long line? "Get da net, Mrs. Fin! Idaho can wait."

    A loss for the PTD

    If it goes uncontested, then this lower court judge decision does define limits on what WI law says. If contested, and any citizen likely has standing to contest it, it might not hold up.

    GOHUNT 4th of July Sale

    Today starts what is probably the biggest sale GOHUNT has each year. It is when their suppliers give them a window of time to be outside of MAP pricing. The deals are great and since they are all on sale, you don't need to use our Promo Code to save money (it only works on full priced items)...

    Companies out of their minds

    @popeyoung12 - Keep it to the topic of the OP and spare the political BS. One of the goals of HT is to spare us from political bullshit that pollutes every other part of the world. Keep it on track.

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    To the point of conflicts of interest by Commissioners, or even the appearance of conflict, there is a situation in Wyoming that @JM77 has been sharing a lot of information on. He's sick as a dog, so I offered to post it here on HT. Many of you read about the landowner trying to close a County...

    MT Senator Jon Tester Quietly Taking Money from Anti-gun [Brady] PAC

    Well, like any thread of a political nature, thirteen pages has resolved nothing. I didn't even read most of the last six pages. Got better things to invest my time in early on a Monday morning. Redirecting folks to other topics with the lock.

    Boot insulation

    Hopefully a few pointers here. I've spent my entire life doing active winter activities such that I use a non-insulated boot down to 0F, sometimes even lower.

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    Yes, absolutely my perspectives would be different. If I was living back in Big Falls Minnesota, say in a logging business with my brother, my perspectives would be way different than being a CPA who has lived in the west for 40 years. I wouldn't have 30+ years of Trustee experience that gives...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    My opinion - yes, they matter. They matter a lot. If they don't matter, then I've spent most of my adult life "tilting at windmills." I don't feel that they only matter when we want them to. Those issue matter whether it does/doesn't work toward my personal favor. I see how some think asserting...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    You're correct - not coincidence, for two reasons - 1) The political influence on wildlife is getting to a point that I'm trying to find ways to combat that, and 2) there are things coming down the pike that are big warning signs for me, coming from the groups who are leading the charge in WA...

    TRADING IN A DECEASED PERSON'S ACCOUNT?

    None that I'm aware of, if you have everything in order. You will probably be asked by the institution to show proof of being the TOD/POD beneficiary if you ask to withdraw from the account. That usually requires a death certificate of the original account owner, documentation to prover the...

    TRADING IN A DECEASED PERSON'S ACCOUNT?

    ??? Hmmm, "trustee" doesn't apply to a POD/TOD account. To have a valid POD/TOD you must have a designated Transferee/Beneficiary. OP said he has a named POD Beneficiary, making it a valid account designation.

    TRADING IN A DECEASED PERSON'S ACCOUNT?

    No penalty. POD/TOD designation makes it non-probate property, thus not subject to will/trust/probate. It immediately becomes the property of the named transferee.

    RIP John Gibson

    John put everything he had into Montana wildlife and access issues. Gratitude to him.

    37 percent sow harvest?

    The data showed a decline in populations that had more than 37% female harvest. That was the "tipping point" of female harvest that was considered defensible if black bear hunting was attacked. If FWP/Commission went beyond what the studies told them, it would make it very ripe for groups to...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    The courts would say, "No." The courts would bifurcate the standing of said person into two different standings in their relationship with the Trust/Trustee - 1) Beneficiary by mere fact of being a citizen, and 2) Stakeholder, by the fact that the person is providing value to the Trust that the...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    Yes, surely through the lens of a CPA who deals in Trusts every day. But, all the court cases related to Public Trusts disregard the political reasons Trustees often claim for their actions. By the statutes enacted in most states I am aware of, the standards of a Public Trustee are the same as...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    I don't limit the beneficiaries to just hunters. I always say that the citizens of the state are the beneficiaries, hunters or not hunters. If Idaho Trustees think that outfitter tags benefits the Trust, the Trust asset of wildlife, and the Trust Beneficiaries, then that is what the Trustee...
