American prairie. What's the issue?
"Death" sounded cooler, but it really isn't the right word nor how I look at it or feel it myself. What many in rural Montana are going through, and I assume also America, is an involuntary dissolution of identity. That identity could be cultural, geographic, economic, etc. but no matter what...- Nameless Range

American prairie. What's the issue?
Whether this contemporary increase in disparity across the landscape is wealthy newcomers or the APR, the slow death of rural America is painful. I think it is important though, to not allow dark forces like UPOM, to leverage that pain. I know many landowners who in a very real way are trying to...- Nameless Range

American prairie. What's the issue?
Like the RMEF for one. Or the Conservation Fund, whose purchase of Westphal Parks in the Tobacco Root Mountains just added nearly a section of land to the Public Trust. The fact of the matter though, is this line of thinking isn't new. For decades from the 50's through the 80's, there was an...- Nameless Range

American prairie. What's the issue?
As far as their desired end-state is concerned, to 99% of Montanans, UPOM is an Anti-Hunting and Fishing Organization. Imagine if UPOM had their way. In such a bleak state of affairs, to quote Denowh, "the rest of us should reflect on what we are losing." It would be exponentially worse than...- Nameless Range

Wakesurfing article - Good to see some headway on this
Buddy’s family has lived on a western MT lake for 40 years. In the last 5 they have lost 15 feet off the peninsula on their shoreline in the lake. They had lost essentially none the previous 35, and are certain its the wake boats.Really dry and arid shore. Not scientific I know but I believe em.- Nameless Range

More or Less Informed?
Conservation - a subset of which is politics - I'd say more. Politics - more, but so much so that the BS has washed over the truth. If someone is honest with themselves, it is very had to discern truth from fiction, net-good from net-bad, the 20th "the sky is falling" of this decade from...- Nameless Range

Out fishing with some friends on their pontoon boat yesterday, I told my wife I really think we need to buy one. She said that if the next fish I caught was a state record, she would buy me one. Then this happened:- Nameless Range

The End of Environmental Regulations/Chevron
I honestly don’t know. Just seen a couple different groups now celebrating it on social media. I’d wager that if certain road closures aren’t referring very precise legislation or something, they will more easily be challenged. That said, maybe some of the lawyers in the room would understand...- Nameless Range

Triple the Outfitter/Guide Client Days on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest
The B-D has withdrawn this project, which I view as great. They are proposing a new one, which instead of creating a massive service day pool on the Forest, will assess issuing permits to existing permit holders only. Here's the new project...- Nameless Range

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
I have repeatedly watched bios try to cut both elk and deer permits in different areas I am familiar with including the Elkhorns, only to have their proposals questioned and tempered by their leadership. I was doing some work for a rancher by Boulder in 380 many years ago, and he had a deer...- Nameless Range

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Yeah, 380's Buck permit quota is kind of a joke, but the range isn't managed for mule deer. Aside from the southern portion and the subdivisions within it, it really isn't a place where good mule deer populations live. Any reduction in MD B permits is a good thing in my mind, though none would...- Nameless Range

Weight Loss Drugs
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but I think some very compelling cases can be made that the negative side effects of GLP-1s, may very well be preferable to being overweight. Being overweight is absolutely terrible for you in almost every meaningful metric of health. I’ll throw something...- Nameless Range

Life and Death
It's an uncomfortable fact, but so much of grief is familiarity, the story we tell ourselves, sphere of experience, even convenience. You and I know a child's life is precious as any in the universe. 10,000 children die every day from hunger, yet you nor I shed a tear. We can understand it's...- Nameless Range

Hunt Quietly Podcast 84: Q & A
That's a fair point. There are many many great hunters on here and elsewhere - far far better hunters than me - who pay people to take them hunting. That said, I do see quite the difference between someone who begins and ends a hunt themselves, and someone who is a client. Admittedly, there's no...- Nameless Range
