    Wyoming's Gold [Solar/Turbine] Rush

    According to the BLM, Wyoming will likely see about 27k acres of public land renewable development through 2045. I had a call with a BLM official leading the Solar Plan process and emphatically expressed that the agency should be very selective in where they site solar projects. He seemed...

    Kennedy 24?

    Eh he seems OK, but I honestly don't think I could listen to him talk for 4 years. Maybe that is insensitive of me. I'm realizing that the vast majority of politicians don't really care about the people they represent. They are really in it for themselves. Maybe RFK is different, but maybe not.

    Safari Club International supports WEST Act to withdraw Public land rule

    I think the BLM took out the "conservation leasing" part in the final rule. They renamed it mitigation or compensatory leasing I think. I haven't read the rule in detail but it seems like these would ultimately be good things. They also honor valid existing rights and don't necessarily exclude...

    We're also producing more oil than we ever have. Maybe the liberal democrats are the real pro energy independence folks...

    How close to camp?

    Depending on where you're hunting, if you are a mile away, there is probably someone who is closer. Lookin at you OTC Colorado...

    Good and bad days at the range

    I can relate to this. I think it is because when shooting iron sights I don't expect to be super precise. If I can shoot a softballish group from field positions at 100 or so yards with my muzzleloader I call that a success. It always seems much more casual for some reason. When I'm shooting my...

    2024 Tacoma Camper Options?

    I had a 4WC on a 2017 Chevy Colorado and then a 22 Ram 1500. I really think any full truck bed camper should be reserved for a 3/4 ton or greater. Mine was bare bones and still weighed a just shy of 1000 pounds dry. You have to at minimum install airbags to retain any sort of confidence when...

    Israel and iran...

    Of course it will! There are plenty of congress people who have been just waiting for an opportunity to bulldoze Iran. Doesn't hurt that a bunch of them get rich(er) off the deal. Biden essentially said in a recent OpEd that we should pass military aid because it is good for the economy. We got...

    Platte river issues

    I wonder if any studies have been done elsewhere. Obviously this is a popular location but there are dozens of trout streams that get hammered by catch and release guys. I guess the North Platte is different from many in that it can be fished year round. I've typically been a catch and release...

    New Christensen Evoke

    Looks pretty neat, a little new age for my liking but cool nonetheless. I've come to like my Mesa. Interesting that all of the barrel lengths are 22" or less even for the PRC and magnum cartridges.

    Group Pulls Bear Cubs Off Tree to Take Pictures With Them

    It'll be interesting to compare the outcry from this to the wolf guy in Daniel, WY. I didn't see any punishment in the article - wonder if there will be any.

    IDAHO 2024-2030 Draft Elk Management Plan comment period.

    I briefly skimmed it yesterday afternoon. Seems like themes of habitat degradation, changing winter range conditions, subdivisions, recreation are all huge factors moving forward. Not really surprising, but I thought I left Colorado...?!

    Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024

    My underlying fear is that we are chasing a goal (substantially mitigating climate change) that we ultimately aren't going to reach. It is a global issue and 11 states in the American West can't fix it. Sure, we can mitigate our emissions at home, but ff China, India and other developing nations...

    Colorado unit 444

    I've shot a couple small bucks in the unit but have seen some bruisers. My buddy shot a really great buck that had to be very old. Body was like a cow elk. I'd share the pic, but it would give away the location. Keep in mind that unit borders one of the most sought after units in CO for mule...

    Ready for a new 7 mag load

    YOu could use the factory Vor-tx load. Box says like 3060 fps I think. Talk about boring.... A guy at the local gun shop gave me a box of Sako Powerhead Blade to try out. I was skeptical, but it is the most accurate ammo I have tried in my 7RM. No experience on game yet, but hopefully this fall...

    Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024

    Thanks for bringing this up Randy! This is really a once-in-a-generation plan to help guide how solar is/isn't developed on public BLM lands. Given what the development acreage that BLM foresees there is NO reason for any development to occur in high value wildlife habitat. There are a handful...

    Boulder Hunting Ban

    Head up Lefthand Canyon to where those MTB trails are. There is plenty of old recreational shooting trash in there. Used to hunt rabbits up there and it was pretty heinous. I also stumbled on a trail being illegally built. Dismantled it and took out their markers. It is a sad state of affairs...
