    Make the case for federalizing game species

    While I think you make some good points, you're coming at this issue from a perspective that is not universal. Your State isn't taking away bear and cougar hunting, your State game and fish isn't run by people who are sympathetic to anti-hunting interests. I too feel like there are more than a...

    Some, yes. All? No. I sometimes have to remind myself that we're not all equally blessed with the same skills. Our population plots as a bell curve on everything skill, topic, and ability. That includes intelligence, planning, and decision-making. There are people who plot further back on all...

    Property Taxes. Here We Go Again……..

    Ag... they don't. Like at all. 67 ac in Leavenworth WA, where the median house per zillow is $690k. Lots are $2-300k. That single waterfront, view property, pays all of $145 per year. Because it's in ag.

    https://newrepublic.com/article/131743/poor-get-trapped-depressed-areas "...because while the suggestion to “go get a U-Haul” sounds simple, it’s an impossible task for somebody with no savings." ^This has been what I've observed. My best friend moved to Connecticut. It cost no less than $5k...

    Some people have that option. Moving is a luxury of the affluent and the young (and the latter getting harder and harder each year). I can move, but I have family that couldn't. That's a reality.

    All valid points, though is your list of inequalities any different than West Virginia's? Mississippi's? Some of the housing-to-income disparity could be pointed to the large package of benefits currently offered to State citizens of the ountain est. Maybe if that benefit package wasn't so...

    Practically yes. But I still find value in the discussion.

    1. Yes, that is a worthy and compelling case for many scenarios. But what of Nevada, a state almost entirely public, why does the 14% of privately held land get a disproportionate share of interest in the public resource? 2. Why would your default assumption be that it would be a...

    Make the case for federalizing game species

    If you're referring to case law, I'm well aware. But the only compelling argument I've heard as to why it "should" be this way (which is a completely different discussion than why it is this way), was from @Hunting Wife about the ability of the State to be more agile than the Feds adjusting to...

    Make the case for federalizing game species

    Why does it have to be another state's resource? Why isn't it our resource? Aren't bald eagles ours, salmon, ducks? On your second point, is money the missing element preventing us from having better wildlife management?

    Make the case for federalizing game species

    Edited, to remove my inner, and unnecessary XXXholeishness 1. Because while life isn't fair, and never will be, it, fairness, is an admirable goal. So granting someone born in Connecticut the same right to Rocky Mountain elk as someone born in Montana seems more just. 2. It is the same level of...

    Good question, but no idea. Looks like it has citations from 2017. They maintain a webpage too. https://www.umt.edu/bolle-center/federal-lands-wildlife/faqs.php

    It is simply a group of people with more than just HT handles that make some relevant and historical points regarding federal management.

    '24-'25 chukar season

    Went out to an old spot but decided to hunt further out than normal. Didn't see even old sign for the first 1.5 hr. The dog got birdy once but either couldn't pin it down or it was old sign. Today was another beautiful fall day, which means it was perfectly calm, and great for hiking but not...

    A story, an outcome, and maybe a change of direction

    A couple years have passed since this trip in that time I've hardly big game hunted. A week total last year, a couple days this year. After deer season ended here in WA without a single hunt, nothing for bears yet again, no elk hunts since the one above, I was sitting around the house early in...
