    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    I acknowledge it's damn complicated but I think any reciprocation needs to very judicious. In Montana for landowners, there are varied examples of it. (15% LO permit opportunity, different exchange opportunities (454), etc.) Person X owns 640 acres and plants some alfalfa at a cost ( a...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)

    As a beneficiary, I want my Trustees to always consider the former, and not the latter. I think allowing Trustees to determine deservedness is a recipe for abuse. The easiest context for me to think about this is a Trust for which I am an elected (ha! :ROFLMAO:) Trustee - a fire department and...

    The Governor, the Wolf and the Warden: A Fresh Look at a Gianforte Hunt

    I certainly wouldn't say we've had any administrations as of late that didn't have their faults, and the article certainly seems written by someone who doesn't really know trapping, but it's pretty hard to argue with money talking. From the article: "By October 2022, according to a letter...

    And the lies continue..

    The yet-to-be-adopted Montana Grizzly Bear Management Plan is well written in my opinion, and if followed, most of the concerns of those opposed to State Management, outside of the emotional ones, are addressed...

    FWP Fisheries Director Ousted?

    Montana, and in particular State Government, is a small town and word gets around. I’d wager we’ll get a bit more to the story sooner than later.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I know a handful of landowners in the Elkhorns, and every one of them has conveyed to me in some way or another how exhausting our hunting season length is. One even told me their participation in the Block Management program would be far more likely if the season wasn't 3 months + long. I know...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    I doubt supply would/will increase in a meaningful way. Maybe that is an incorrect assumption. Further, in the long run, I see no way short of a plague for supply increases to ever keep up with increases in demand in the long term. A subset of the effect of that demand increase also being the...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    It's important to remember too, that transferable tags are commodities, and I think it is safe to assume that over time, the value of these commodities will only go up relative to the amount of capital the average hunter has. In the long run, hunters without an inordinate amount of capital will...

    The Rinella Effect

    We watch a fair bit of meateater and Randy’s show. Finding shows that work for the 6,10, and 40 year old men in my house, requires a window of acceptability that both of those fall into. To me it’s mostly just background noise. I am no longer fired up by hunting media at all. Though, I love and...

    Well, it's not good. Not religious but prayers are welcomed.

    I’m sorry, Dave. The strength you’ve exhibited by sharing what you’re going through here - it’s inspiring. I hope you find peace and a way through it all. My condolences.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I wish I could watch/participate in these CACs, but like so many I'm busy on a Wednesday morning. Most of the districts around where I live, there are no aerial surveys done for mule deer. When I asked about why this is, and how I think it is necessary, I was given the concern over cost and the...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    One other thing that should fit into the calculus of whether or not such a model is a net benefit to the beneficiaries of a given state, is public access. Over 7,000,000 acres of Montana’s private lands are accessible to the public for hunting - resident and non-resident alike - through our...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    That isn't clear to me at all. That said, I think non-hunters as beneficiaries is an interesting component, and many arguments leveraged for a NM model in their favor pivot cleanly to hunting in general being a negative to the public trust. If I remember right, the Bitterroot Elk Study showed...
