Favorite hunting memory
I was elk hunting with my dad in the same unit he grew up hunting. We split up at a saddle and I dropped elevation to contour into another saddle, pretty steep area, mostly thick timber with some openings on the saddles. About an hour later I came across a group of elk in the timber and shot a...- Hydrophilic

Non Profit Land Acquisition - what are your favorite organizations?
It seems like it can be a thankless endeavor if the land ends up under federal or state ownership. How will people really know the story behind the public land? It can be difficult to track down. Here are some articles on Montana and TNC...- Hydrophilic

Non Profit Land Acquisition - what are your favorite organizations?
A few areas I hunt, fish, or hike used to be large parcels of private property. At one time these parcels were acquired by a non profit and either held as an asset, or donated to city / state / federal government. Because of these past actions I have been able to form memories which would...- Hydrophilic

Montana 1 upped by Idaho in Wolf take shenanigans.
What did you expect? Of course it is. Another reason for the public to hate hunters. Or maybe hunters will come out against this :)- Hydrophilic

And yet anther hobby....
Do you have any naturally occurring gold around? Over here a person can find a gold bearing stream, ancient river channels, etc with bedrock and run a metal detector over the crevices. These crevices can trap placer gold at the bottom, also lead fishing weights and other metals.- Hydrophilic

The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass
I saw my first Sage Grouse in person last year when hunting a new to me unit - those birds are stunning. I stopped and watched them for 10-20 minutes almost every time I saw them. Believe it or not, people love their wildlife and want to protect their wildlife. One of the standard tools to...- Hydrophilic

Interesting article about Biden's Outlines to Preserve/Conserve more Wild Places (with the help of Farmers, Ranchers, and in areas outside the western
Good post. Much of the best habitat (historically) is in private hands where it has been altered for agriculture, development, esthetics. Simply planting native trees, shrubs, and understory can make a huge difference. The premise - Most of the insects that comprise the bulk of the food chain...- Hydrophilic

The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass
I don't think anybody disagrees with you about WNV being a factor in certain situations. I personally did not know about that and am glad you brought it up. We need to address all of the identified problems to work towards recovery, however. If you have some links you want us to read, post 'em up.- Hydrophilic

Land requirements for renewable energy
I share you frustrations. Identifying problems and trying to find solutions in our current political climate results in a laundry list of 'whataboutisms' or other problems we need to address first, as if we are incapable of working on multiple problems at the same time :unsure:- Hydrophilic

The Sage Grouse Crisis has Reached Critical Mass
It does appear to be an issue. I did not, however, find a resource recommending we should therefore stop addressing habitat conversion, energy development, conifer intrusion, climate change, and cheatgrass...in favor of a sage grouse strategy that focuses soley on WNV and predators. Maybe 88man...- Hydrophilic
