Thought about this thread today as I encounter various frustrations in efforts I am either involved in or are aware of .
Unlike the title of the post, I’m not thinking necessarily of wildlife related efforts, but of collaboration as a whole – could be land management, could be wildlife. I...
I'm late to the convo, but I would love to see a chart, with a line representing every state. The X axis would be years, and the Y axis would be the amount of raffle tags each state offered at year N, and then move forward in time.
Would we see every single line ascend? That would be a bit of...
First time I’ve ever ordered CFS and received 2 full-sizers on a single plate. Rich homemade gravy. Freshly fried spuds. A universe beyond legit.

I’ve been where you are and it is really really hard place to be. I’m sorry. I asked the same question about my own situation a few years back and got some good advice.

I think one of the harder pieces of advice to swallow...
This came through my email today. Thought it was interesting:
Executive Summary
Ongoing permitting reform debates in Washington, DC, have mostly orbited around the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). A procedural environmental regulatory “umbrella law,” NEPA creates significant and...
To each their own. I think it is perfectly rational to step away from many corners of the Internet for the betterment of yourself and those around you. As you mentioned - stages of life.
I am absolutely a better public land hunter and advocate for public lands and hunting, because of HT. I...
I view Western Watersheds Project as a clone of Alliance For The Wild Rockies, CBD, and the like.
Largely anti-hunting, certainly anti-trapping, basically anti-agriculture and in a general sense, anti rural culture.
They like the others, look to shape the west through hyperbole and litigation...
Yep. It’s a good spot. Some bums have set up shop there over the course of the last two summers though - including their multiple trailers, half a dozen vehicles, and even livestock. I hate to think of where their excrement is going.
I know there are a lot of folks here who love their dogs and work with them.
Last night the kids and I watched this, and whether it is through the context of a family dog, hunting dogs, working dogs – I found it really fascinating.
Many concepts within the documentary really struck me. Dogs...
In 2023, the leg passed SB 84, which clarified that scouting for animals with a drone is illegal if they are being hunted "the same calendar day". I would have been fine with it going a bit further than a day. I've seen how well a drone can be used to locate mountain goats pretty easily - saves...
Next time you see a warden, go talk to them. In the same way it is good to know your local biologist, it is good to know your local warden.
I know some on here have had negative experiences, but the one warden I personally know is salt of the earth, and really a foundation of the community. Of...
Aside from the Bison draw, which is a cool opportunity folks I know have been a part of, APR currently supports hunting by providing tons of access. As participants in Montana's Block Management Program they have at least 10:
PN is Type 2 Block Management. The Two Crow is Type 2. Cow Island is...
Sorry that happened but glad you're ok. 7 years ago I watched a woman die directly in front of me when her 18 foot trailer started to sway and subsequently pulled her truck over with it. Scary stuff.
I guessed 8-10k. On the VFD I've spoken to tow truck/cleanup outfits when semis roll over, and...
Unsuccessful with 5 points on a buck and 3 points on a B tag. Tough to stomach that if I want to hunt the places I want to hunt for Antelope, and assuming the trend in probability only gets more difficult, that at 40 years old and living to life expectancy I might only get to hunt pronghorn on...
