    One way to stop a corner cross

    If I am walking on the public side of a private/public boundary and I see that a couple of your fence posts are leaning into the public land, can I cut them off? Or would you be upset about property damage?

    One way to stop a corner cross

    Situations like this make me lose goodwill towards landowners. A landowner is adamant about not allowing the public to violate one inch of his private property rights, meanwhile fence lines and ag fields wander in and out of public land.

    One way to stop a corner cross

    This proves as much as anything what the corning crossing issue is really about. No one cares if a pedestrian crosses through the air space next to a sidewalk; but we are supposed to believe that is what concerns a larger land owner adjacent to public land.

    Population Growth and Hunting in Rocky Mountain States

    As resident populations grow a couple things could happen. 1. Demand for big game tags will go up. When this happens, opportunity will become more and more limited. Eventually, you get one big game tag per year, then some years you don't get one. How will hunter recruitment be affected when...

    Population Growth and Hunting in Rocky Mountain States

    Proving that the displacement of Indians in North and South America was merely a continuation of human movement that had occurred for thousands of years and no more brutal than the cultural warfare and migrations of humans throughout Europe, Asia and Africa and even Pre-Colombian America. Human...

    Population Growth and Hunting in Rocky Mountain States

    I view the recent transplants much like we view new members on internet hunting forums who are asking for help with a specific unit, with skepticism. Just because you moved here, and like to hunt, doesn't mean that we are best friends now. I'm not going to take you hunting to my favorite...

    BHA Wild Sheep Policy Statement

    Thanks, I hadn't read that study before. I saw it while finding the studies I linked and saved it for later reading. In order to comment on it I skimmed through just now. I'll have to do a full reading later. I didn't intend to disparage you with my question about the prevalence of M. ovi in...

    Case Against R3

    Connecting race to this discussion requires a tremendous imagination. Matts' article and Steve response were both reasonable and I land firmly in Matt's camp. Several of the rebuttal articles were not as compelling, including the Outdoor life rebuttals. Lack of opportunity (tags) and lack of...

    Here we go again.

    Nearly every musk ox hunt I've ever watched involved the animals bunching up in a defensive formation while the hunters casually walk up to the herd. The only challenge is waiting for your target bull to move into a clear shooting position away from the rest of the herd. With an animal like...

    BHA Wild Sheep Policy Statement

    Thanks for the links, I have read the study for the northwest territories and the BC studies and the Alaska studies. I have read as many studies about llama/goat/sheep and bighorn sheep as I have been able to find. I have some scientific training although I am not a biologist. At any rate, I...

    BHA Wild Sheep Policy Statement

    Dr. Thomas Besser at WSU did some studies with goats that showed that Wild sheep did contract disease from the domestic goats but it was a more mild reaction. It would have been interesting if he followed that up with a study that then exposed those same sheep (now recovered from the goat...

    Idaho Archery Antelope

    I'm happy to see the pressure go down. The two units I hunt were not grouped together, so now I will have to choose which one to hunt. A mild annoyance, but I'll survive. In the past I have camped on the unit boundary.

    BHA Wild Sheep Policy Statement

    I agree with Bisblue. I have read through all of the studies linked in this thread and several others. No study has found a link between camelids and disease transmission to wild sheep. Several studies have found that camelids are incapable of carrying M. Ovi. The British Colombia study...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    I will completely own the "our house our rules" argument. I think that every state should manage their wildlife for the benefit of their citizens. To go along with that I don't think any state (east or west) should issue a single NR tag if they can't first provide opportunity to meet resident...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    As I understand it, the NAM was never a defined set of guidelines or rules that states were required to follow when setting policy for wildlife management. Rather, the term "North American Model of Wildlife Management" came from a study of wildlife policies that sought to identify commonalities...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    Yes, because we want to be able to hunt without being required to travel to Oklahoma because NR got all the tags back home. Why is it horrible to prioritize opportunity for the people who live where that opportunity exists? There are not enough tags to fill all of the NR demand. Many western...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    I agree, the cost of tag should be no more or less than the cost of managing the resource. I can't think of a good reason for residents and NR to have such differing costs. Using Idaho as an example, I previously showed that Idaho would have to charge $62 for deer tags and $122 for elk tags if...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    There is a lot more to do on USFS and BLM lands than hunt. Many NR on this forum seem to be of the idea that these lands exist solely for hunting. On the recreational side, hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing, sight seeing, photography, prospecting, boating, berry picking, etc. My entire...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    Tell us why you are so worked up about elk in Montana. Don't you have elk in Washington? Do you have trouble getting a tag in your own state? Have you and your fellow Washington residents mismanaged your elk? If so, why should Montana or any other state provide opportunity for you? Do...

    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    I like 1, 2, 5, 6, 10 I don't know anywhere that number 9 is a problem. However, this seems like something that could be highly variable and wouldn't work as a blanket requirement everywhere. Number 3 and 7 seem reasonable enough. Although, I question how you arrived at the ratio of 1:4 or...
