    Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers

    Oh, but it is. isn’t every business question a tax question? But I digress. If taking the client on a day to kill semi-chickens means they buy more product, DO IT!

    Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers

    Probably true. It fits my rule #1- everyone cheats in their taxes. And I support the IRS starting at the top with offenders. By the time they get to us we will be dead.

    Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers

    I thought the TCJA switched entertainment to completely undeductible, regardless of whether or not someone said "how's business"?

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    Lots of people in between. When you chose to be in a business that produces a commodity, you can expect profits to be low and scale to be more important. Small family ranches are in a tough spot. Co-op?

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    I found this kind of funny...The company with 30% profit margins and record profits is suing the companies in a 5% profit margin business for colluding to inflate prices. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/mcdonalds-sues-several-meat-packing-companies-claims-colluded-inflate-beef-prices

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    Private land owners are a vital part of conservation in MT, maybe because they give out so many tags. I'm not sure Wilkens would take any amount of money to join BM, but if he did I am pretty sure it would only take a couple of seasons for elk populations on his property to go down the toilet...

    Podcast - Utah Wants Your Public Lands

    Ammon Bundy might have some ideas on effective protesting.

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    Classic story of "You should have been here yesterday 3 yrs ago!". I wonder if that ranch is running more cattle now that they have more grass? What happens in a drought? I have so many questions around any of the grass yield formulas. I think some ranchers have legit problems and some want to...

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    I can get a pretty good idea of the variability in the individual cases. I would also guess that some form of a "solution" already exists. Not a perfect solution, but the right direction. Maybe the problem we have is applying the specific solution to the specific cases? WY has similar problems...

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    Completely agree with the thought process. I have asked the similar questions before, like how can we quantify how much grass elk eat from one time period to another and put it in terms of "loss"- cattle shipping weights? (see solutions for game damage hunts, which could be used). I can...

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    MT hunts elk for 6 months out of the year and gives out a $hit-ton of tags and still can't make a dent in over-objective units. Why? 1) because objectives are ridiculously low and 2) because most of those elk don't show up on complainer ranches until after the seasons ends. Apparently, Spring...

    iPhone GPS Battery Life

    i have the 14. Given its age, the battery has trouble even on a normal day in full cell service. On recent trip, the battery lasted a full day without a problem with OnX on and in airplane mode. It just depends how many things are running in the background and how much you look at the screen...

    Podcast - Utah Wants Your Public Lands

    Just listened. I wish I could say it made me optimistic, but I can't find much other than the willingness to keep fighting this crazy stuff. I know there was a call to try to change the mind of the politicians and I am in full support for contacting those representatives and letting them know...

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    This got me thinking about the spectrum of landowners that participate in BM. There are clearly places FWP can focus the efforts. I’m sure even this breakdown isn’t as clean and neat as we would like. - people that would never do it - people that do it but not for the money - people that do...

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    Sounds like the "Montana Values" argument. Good luck with that. I think it ignores the changes in economics and culture. We too often try to save things that can't be saved. I like the video, but my criticism is that they picked someone whose point of view ("show me the money") is literally the...

    Tag or Refund

    0% contained and today is going to be very windy. I would lean toward a refund. Regarding next year, I’m not sure anyone will know until this is done and they can get in and check the severity.

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    I’m not saying they should, but that is what was implied in the video. The guy said it was about money. I want to know what his price is. (Hint: given he makes his money as an outfitter more than a rancher, I would bet there isn’t a price- for him). Hunters want more elk to hunt. They don’t...

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    I agree, for that person at least. I doubt there is anything that will get that group sufficiently satisfied enough to join BM. But until FWP asks the question directly, we will keep getting videos suggesting buying the ranch donuts and helping with fences. I can also acknowledge that doing...

    Good Neighbor: Elk Management in Montana

    Landowners are certainly not all the same, and it is hard to find solutions given that variability, but it was pretty clear from the rancher/outfitter that the issue is money. I feel like these questions need to be asked/answered of those in that category... What $ amount is adequate...

    House of Representatives votes to remove gray wolves from endangered species list

    No the court doesn’t. I think you have a misunderstanding of how the government and laws work.
