I wonder why FWP can't just schedule it - as in tell the public "the draw will occur on X day at X time." I'd wager they know when the draw is going to occur, and it is on the calendars of those involved.
On the road most of the day today, so I listened to it through a couple times. Felker can tell stories and write poems and sometimes do both simultaneously as good as anyone, and there isn’t any country music I’ve heard that touches on rural life like theirs.
My 7 year old is singing this one-minute-long tune in the school talent show in a couple weeks. So I’ve heard it 500 times in the last month, and I still like it, so there’s that.
Though I am advocate for more “liberal” access precedents - corner crossing, stream access, etc - I would be pissed if someone shot over my own private property and wouldn’t do it to someone else.
Thankfully yet criminally, the 454 permits are capped at "10% above the quota", but one could get their LE Permit through that program, allow 4 or 5 hunters on their property at times they choose (and choose a portion of those hunters) and lease their property to an outfitter the rest of the...
I don't know much about tariffs, but all the economists and internet corners I read on either side of the political spectrum sans the MAGA acolytes make these seem to be nonsensical.
In the end I think 2 things: 1) The executive branch has far too much power under this phony guise of...
When I give money to the RMEF, I do chiefly view them as a land trust organization. They are great at that. In fact, hiking up from this old cabin, I shot a limit of blues last October on a section they bought in the mountains south of me and sent them another check on that day.

I think anything we currently do sitting at a computer, will eventually be doable by AI. The timeline might be longer than folks think, but I agree that those jobs that will be hardest to replace will be ones that are chiefly physical.
As far as a time for deep knowledge simply for the sake of...
It’s a real interesting thread. Particularly for me, as I try my best to inform/advise my children on decisions they need or will need to make regarding futures as they get older.
This thread is full of anecdote, but there’s hard data out there that makes a compelling case for college. I do...
This is a totally different bill now.
Whether in the end I agree or disagree with what it’s changed to, the change is both a good one, and another piece of evidence that so much of our legislative branch is a rigoddamndiculous pile of ideas, tactics, and politicians.
That's interesting and sucks. I've registered more than a dozen drones with the FAA, and it usually takes less than a day, though I haven't done it in 2025.
Be sweet to see that drone you've purchased in action.
Back in 2017, the FAA did a study on drones vs manned aircraft using a Phantom 3...
The Elkhorn Working Group sent this letter to Montana's congressional delegation this week. I know in the age of modern politics, it's easy to just dismiss criticisms of current policy as political. That said, knowing many members of this group I can say with certainty that politics doesn't...
First check with my youngest son on a pond I’d been eyeballing all winter.
Finally getting a bit of open water here and there in this neck of the woods so this is what we’ll be doing for the next few weeks.
I think often about this quote from Norman Maclean's story "Black Ghost". He was talking about sheep's propensity to graze the earth leaving nothing else for other critters, and he wrote it on a hunch that a hunter purposefully started this fire to incinerate a herd of domestic sheep, but the...
