I did, and I remember going to the breaks with a buck tag in my pocket every year and usually with 2 or 3 surplus pronghorn doe tags. I'm no biologist, but I wonder how much that sort of liberal harvest from 20 years ago brought us to where we are today.
Nowadays in some of the okayer districts...
If you want to go anywhere comfortably and in style, get the Polaris. If you want to go most places always and without issue for less $, get the Honda. That's kind of hyperbole and kind of not.
I would go with the 1000. I've hauled elk out with a Pioneer 500 and a Pioneer 1000. The 500s are...
I'm not speaking to anyone being disrespected in a meeting here, but I think Wild Montana's change in tack from going to a wilderness-only centric organization to something a little more broad was wise. I do not believe will ever have new large scale Wilderness designations - those days are gone...
Really sad to see, and my thoughts are with the folks who live there.
Folks can argue about the tendencies, contributing factors, and causes all they want - I kind of see it as irrelevant to the fact of the matter that it can happen in the west. Talk to folks in the fire world in Montana, and...
I really am where I would like to be, but I just ate the blueberries and cottage cheese my wife made me for breakfast, and I might change something about that:
Dang, what a wild week. Hope the family is alright and the burden of fence and grass loss isn't too great.
I'll be interested to hear you observations of country you know better than anyone as it regrows after the burn.
For a few years I've believed the GYE and Crown of the Continent populations have been intermingling. With a griz in the Roots it sure seems that it's time to at least try to verify it. The Griz in the Boulder Mountains, a couple of which were in the Whitetail Valley last year, were...
A balanced fact-based 7 minutes regarding the assassination attempt and the failure of the SS from someone who actually just reached out to some of those involved. Lot's of "expert" claims and assumptions out there on the internet.
I don't really believe any politician, but Trump is enough of a raging narcissist to often dislike ideas if he didn't come up with them. Additionally, I have a sample size of 4 years where he didn't pursue many of these things. "This time will be different" isn't a particularly useful claim to...
I don't whinge too much about the Project 2025 stuff. Former President Trump himself has said he doesn't like many of the ideas in it, and at this point it's clearly being used as a motivational vehicle to get the vote out. That's not to say many of the ideas within it aren't concerning, but at...
PN is Type 2 Block Management. The Two Crow is Type 2. Cow Island is Type 1. Blue Ridge is Type 1 but requires a special drawing. Dry Fork is Type 2. Ragland Bench is Type 1. Timber Creek is Type 1.White Rock is Type 2. Wild Horse is Type 2, and the 73 is Type 2.
Thousands of acres, many of...
Fishing with my 10-year-old son last night. He’s old enough now and has the aptitude, that I don’t really need to do anything anymore. So last night I just walked with him and watched and felt grateful.
Regardless of how I feel about him as a politician, I’m glad it sounds like he’s gonna be ok, and the photo of him with blood running down his face with his fist in the air is a picture of inspiring human resolve.
Reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt getting shot in an attempted assassination and...
Reports at this time are that this fire was human caused.
If that is so, somewhere out there, the individual who started this likely knows that they did. If they have a single atom of conscience, they should be overwhelmed with guilt and shame.
Terrible start to fire season. It’s ripping...
