Just as soon go quickly if it comes to that frankly. Not shooting my neighbors over rice and beans in the dystopian scenarios so popular these days. And don't want to die a slow death from radiation poisoning. Guess it would melt my gun collection though. Oh well. At least no more guides, so there's that.

Sounds like a new required charge for nuclear protection on your home insurance bill...

The key would be to stay on landlocked public land as corner crossing is illegal and would keep invaders out.

I live at least a hundred miles away from the silos. I should be fine..

This is a fun app:

Drag the marker to the place that will be nuked. Select the yield, and see the different destruction radii.
Here, I dropped Tsar Bomba, the largest Nuke ever detonated, on Stanford Montana, which I know has silos around it. The center orange circle is the fireball radius, the next gray one is the moderate blast damage radius, the second orange is the radius of those who would be unprotected getting third degree burns, and the last is the light damage radius.
It would be interesting to know how or if topography would affect these radii.

Might eliminate the need for shoulder seasons for a while.

It is of no consequence where any of us live, once it starts it will be total anyway ! Besides, who would really want to live in the aftermath when all reasons for living are gone ?

As much as I know, all the buried nukes are east of the Rockies. So assuming the Chinese or Soviets had good aim, there’s a chance that those of us west of the mountains may survive. I’d love to hunt a three eyed antelope or some those quadruple curl radioactive breaks Rams after surviving the apocalypse!

Hope you filed an EIS before dropping that Tsar Bomba.This is a fun app:

I'm waiting for the "traditional nuclear" extended season.
You must have an outfitter for nukes. This is far different from Wyoming, where DIY nukes are perfectly acceptable, unless it’s a NR in a wilderness area. Of course, this is all subject to high court appeals of NR discrimination on federal lands NR wishing to use nukes, by @mariano742

You can kill them and cook them in one easy step......how many points do I need to draw this tag?

I hope the Laramie range is enough to protect us when Cheyenne gets nuked. It would be a real shame if that happened. Lots of moose in those hills.

This brings up so many questions! Are they going to have tryouts for the Wolverines?! Is it like BHA where we all have local chapters or what? Since Patrick Swayze is gone who gets to be in charge? You know there is only ONE qualified, but we just got him booted last week, that may come back to bite us now. I've been watching The Walking Dead during my workouts so I feel like I'm both mentally and physically prepared for the apocalypse, so excited for this!
