    Grizzlies in the Bighorns

    I wasn't going to say anything on this thread because I didn't see the point. But you know what? After reading some of the comments here, screw it. I am guessing that I have a much better perspective of this place than some (not all) of the commentators here, as my dad grew up on our family...

    Judge Rules S&W Can Be Sued

    I don't know where you got that number, but I am going to call bullshit on that. I am a synthetic organic chemist and while I have run into issues of not replicating the odd result, it has been nowhere near the 60% of the stuff I have tried from the literature. When I run into those issues I get...

    CO bear advice

    The acorn crop from the oak brush is really what allows western Colorado to have the number of bears it does. The good fall bear habitat will be at lower elevations than you would think. I hunted fall black bears in 2019 and 2020 in SW Colorado, which was my first time hunting western Colorado...

    Spotted Cow??

    I guess I will be the stick in the mud and say it is pretty meh. My friend from Boise and I were graduate students in Madison and we had ample opportunity to drink a lot of Spotted Cow. We both agreed the best description was that it was fine but not really noteworthy, which I think is a good...

    Glendo WY bait shop

    We would generally stop in at Howard's General Store right off the interstate and grab some bait. We were worm chuckers who usually caught a lot of carp as we didn't have a boat. I also assume the bait shop across the train tracks (a yellow and brown metal building with BAIT painted on the side)...

    FWP giving up on scientific management

    Well, Syte's whataboutism worked like a charm and derailed a thread that had been focused on talking about how the Montana FWP is curtailing longer scientific studies.

    300 H&H build

    I love my 1S in the H&H. For a while it seemed like the rifle was a bit cursed because I would eat tag soup or end up taking animals with other rifles, but it eventually got on the board. I got it as a college graduation gift and it is a great shooter. I think the thing I like best about it is...

    NRA On The Hot Seat - Exposed or Attacked?

    I think you could make an argument that when actual knowledgeable gun owners aren't at the table when legislation is written, it can make for not very good legislation. I don't think the NRA has done a good job representing the long term interests of gunowners by always opposing these efforts.

    NRA On The Hot Seat - Exposed or Attacked?

    I remember a 2015 PBS Frontline episode where they talk about how the NRA was working with Joe Manchin on passing some very modest gun control legislation in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings. But some groups that were even more hardline than the NRA caught wind of this and started making...

    NRA On The Hot Seat - Exposed or Attacked?

    I understand the logic of moving to a conservative state, although I think such a move is damning commentary about their regard for lawful practices. But why would they restructure in Texas? Sure, it has been a traditionally conservative state, but the drumbeat of demographic change that has...

    Wyoming Antelope and Bird Hunting

    One thing to be aware of is sometimes the locals don't really know what exact species of game birds they have. Or at least that is the case in the area of Wyoming where my dad's family is from. The upland birds in our area are sage grouse and what people call chukars, but which actually aren't...

    Potential SCOTUS Nomimee

    I think that is a good question and a bit difficult to answer. I think the easy thing to say is that ultimately what McConnell cares the most about is confirming conservative judges. The republicans have spent a lot of time the last four years confirming judges, which makes both the social...

    Potential SCOTUS Nomimee

    Lately I have resisted commenting on stuff, but your posts are more constructive so I will give it a whirl. I believe that Biden would really prefer the more collegial Senate that he left in 2009. I don't know about Pelosi or Pence. But I can say that I think this is mostly an incorrect reading...

    Fall fly fishing??

    I have fished a fair amount in the Bighorns in later October while we aren't hunting. Towards late October it can be real hit or miss depending on how cold it has gotten, but if it is warm enough it can be really good fishing. That time of the year will have a lot of Blue-winged Olives (BWOs) in...

    Crazy Fire Day

    Really sad stuff. https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2020/09/the-desperate-fight-to-save-his-family-ends-in-tragedy.html When I was in high school we had a fire get away from us really quickly on the ranch just south of our families ranch. Luckily neither my uncle's or grandma's...

    Pendley is out

    While this is good, this administration has already learned how to overcome Senate objections for posts that are arguably more important than the head of the BLM. They did this by floating John Ratcliffe for DNI, retracting him when he met with Senate objections, and then later installing an...

    Green worms

    I am going to guess that they are fed fluorescein, which is a dye that emits greenish light. Fluorescein is a pretty cheap dye, so they can do this commercially. It is also the dye they use to turn the Chicago river green for St. Patricks day. Here is a picture of fluorescein as a solid from...

    Artic Grayling Appreciation

    Like Ajax said, you should really try Joe Wright Reservoir. It isn't a secret, but it is a lot of fun. Bring a canoe or a float tube. This lake was the reason why my dad ended up getting a canoe. There are a lot of grayling in there. Not the biggest, but I remember them getting bigger (10-12")...

    Neck and backstrap connection cuts

    As a westerner who would probably be traumatized by a hurricane of any size, it is funny to hear the nonchalance of people having developed cooking habits developed around them.
