Lolo Creek Steakhouse, the couple times I have been there, is legit.
If you ask 20 people from Helena, MT what the best steak in the area is, I bet a large portion would say the Windsor, in Boulder. If you asked 20 from Jefferson County, 15+ would say the Windsor. The Windsor, for both a...
Still here at 75. Son of a farmer, joined the military during the Vietnam War and stayed in 20 years. The day he retired he moved his family to Montana. Husband for dang near 50. Father for 40. Grandpa. Gun nut,plays harmonica, reads a book every couple days. Taught me to love the outdoors and...
I acknowledge it's damn complicated but I think any reciprocation needs to very judicious. In Montana for landowners, there are varied examples of it. (15% LO permit opportunity, different exchange opportunities (454), etc.)
Person X owns 640 acres and plants some alfalfa at a cost ( a...
As a beneficiary, I want my Trustees to always consider the former, and not the latter. I think allowing Trustees to determine deservedness is a recipe for abuse.
The easiest context for me to think about this is a Trust for which I am an elected (ha! :ROFLMAO:) Trustee - a fire department and...
I certainly wouldn't say we've had any administrations as of late that didn't have their faults, and the article certainly seems written by someone who doesn't really know trapping, but it's pretty hard to argue with money talking. From the article:
"By October 2022, according to a letter...
The yet-to-be-adopted Montana Grizzly Bear Management Plan is well written in my opinion, and if followed, most of the concerns of those opposed to State Management, outside of the emotional ones, are addressed...
I know a handful of landowners in the Elkhorns, and every one of them has conveyed to me in some way or another how exhausting our hunting season length is. One even told me their participation in the Block Management program would be far more likely if the season wasn't 3 months + long. I know...
I doubt supply would/will increase in a meaningful way. Maybe that is an incorrect assumption.
Further, in the long run, I see no way short of a plague for supply increases to ever keep up with increases in demand in the long term. A subset of the effect of that demand increase also being the...
It's important to remember too, that transferable tags are commodities, and I think it is safe to assume that over time, the value of these commodities will only go up relative to the amount of capital the average hunter has.
In the long run, hunters without an inordinate amount of capital will...
We watch a fair bit of meateater and Randy’s show. Finding shows that work for the 6,10, and 40 year old men in my house, requires a window of acceptability that both of those fall into. To me it’s mostly just background noise.
I am no longer fired up by hunting media at all. Though, I love and...
I’m sorry, Dave. The strength you’ve exhibited by sharing what you’re going through here - it’s inspiring. I hope you find peace and a way through it all. My condolences.
