And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.
Neither were laser rangefinders and bows with eighty percent let off. The durability of the NA model absolutely depends on its ability to adapt to changing circumstances. My two pennies...I've spent a significant chunk of my life advocating for wild things professionally. I'm a better advocate...- mottlet

GOP congressman wants to remove 4 dams to save Idaho’s salmon
There's not a bill, so what would you have us analyze? Simpson released a concept, basically just let the world know he was thinking about trying this. And he's proven, if nothing else, that he and his staff are willing to listen to about anybody. Maybe something comes together that is more...- mottlet

What's in the Hopper for 2021?
Have five turkey tags between my Virginia and Maryland licenses, but will probably stop carrying a gun after two or three if I'm that lucky. May scoot up north to my aunt's place in New Hampshire just to chase the little dinosaurs someplace new. Submitted a long shot Type 9 elk in Wyoming. Will...- mottlet

Interior misses Great American Outdoors Act deadline
Congress ignored the bs lists of projects sent over by DOI and funded an older list of priorities from last spring in the omnibus that passed last night. As for the states' ability to veto acquisition projects, Senator Tester has already said that he looks forward to working with incoming...- mottlet

Interior misses Great American Outdoors Act deadline
Afraid so Randy. Hope all you Montanans are lighting up the phone lines for the newly re-elected junior senator that got so much mileage out of how he convinced this administration to support LWCF. Time for Mr. Daines to walk the talk he was so fond of during the campaign. PUBLIC LANDS...- mottlet

Interior misses Great American Outdoors Act deadline
For the record, the deferred maintenance list from DOI was no real prize. Just names of parks and refuges placed into a handful of vague categories, like "demolition" or "structures" with a number. No real specificity. Almost like it was phoned in or something...- mottlet

DT Jr. on Meateater
What science in the Bristol Bay watershed assessment do you disagree with that'd lead you to believe that Pebble doesn't deserve a 404(c) veto? The previous administration's proposed determination was overruled in court. So now the current iteration of the Army Corps is laying waste to the...- mottlet

No atheists in foxholes apparently
Everybody ought to read that again. Little sister is an ICU nurse in DC, her husband is a police officer, also in the District. They have two boys, 4 and 2. We'll send soldiers into the sandbox without batteries for their night vision and nurses into a pandemic without a friggin mask, all to...- mottlet

Hunting In National Parks.
Then call your Congressman or woman and ask 'em how many cosponsors they think they could get on a bill allowing controlled hunting of America's national mammal in America's first and arguably, most iconic, national park. Sometimes I wonder what we could get done if we worried about putting...- mottlet

Time for Land Tawney to step down?
Guess I got a bit snarky in my first post. My bad. Shoulda said this instead. Climate change is already dramatically changing our public lands and will only continue to do so in the future. Development of renewable energy on public lands is only one example. Did anybody get all fired up about...- mottlet

Time for Land Tawney to step down?

Goodbye to BHA
Cool. I'm a member of RMEF too. Happen to recall when the last action alert they sent went out? Me neither. Fact of the matter is, if you join a group so that they'll fight on the Hill, it's only a matter of time before they do something you don't agree with. Hard to get mad at somebody that...- mottlet

New Legislation in House
The bill utilizes an account in the Pittman-Robertson fund, but doesn't interfere with excise taxes at all. The agencies want this bill, which is why the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies is one of the groups that pushed hardest to get it introduced, along with a bunch of sportsmen's...- mottlet

So here's one for ya...
Thanks everyone, latest update: Went in yesterday to get my staples out. Final pathology report came back as well, all stage 1 with clean margins. So it was low grade and they got it all. Doc said he's amazed at my recovery so far, but said because I was doing so well, I needed to be VERY...
