    Where is Yogi hiding and why isnt he standing at the entrance greeting all visiters?

    My mom worked for years in the Visitor Service Office at YNP headquarters in Mammoth. The calls she’d take, the questions asked, the complaints filed… it all would leave you speechless.

    The Rinella Effect

    I watched the episode, as well, and was surprised at what seemed like such little effort invested. Always tough to tell that sort of thing from the couch, so I can’t give a ton of credibility to my impressions. But he openly talked about how he didn’t have much time to hunt, and it seemed like a...

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

    Sorry to heart this, Dave. You’re an amazing man. Praying for you and your family, buddy.

    Would have been 17 this sunday

    I’m sorry to hear this @Mooretitan . She’s with her Savior now. And for what it’s worth, I think Olivia has a great father. Praying for you and your family.

    Arbitrary Hunting Goals

    I tend to be strangely goal-oriented about things that don’t need goals attached. Hunting hasn’t escaped my neurotic tendency. For a while, I’ve had this desire to take an elk, a deer, and an antelope in each of the eight Interior Mountain West states (MT, WY, CO, NM, AZ, UT, ID, NV). I’m not...

    Another one of Paul’s great work.

    Super cool

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    In my opinion, this strategy has not worked well for a long time. I do agree that the Montana experience is certainly like no other. Where else can you pound rutting forkies? But the idea that it is sustainable in the 21st century and synonymous with sound management is dubious at best. In all...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    It’s important to remember that the group is striving for something that actually has a chance of being accepted and implemented. That’s what makes this a tricky compromise. It’s not simply a theoretical exercise. LE might be the best thing for the state’s mule deer. Probably is. But with...

    Hunting Trip Ideas / 40th birthday

    Mountain goat hunt in Alaska. Probably won’t be this year, but who cares? It’ll stretch your budget but if it’s a year or two out, I bet your cool wife will be cool with it. If you really have a $10K budget and end up going to TX, I’m gonna reach through the internet and strangle you, bruh. Oh…...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    The brain trust behind this proposal doesn’t need me to speak for them, but, based on the nature of some of the criticism, I feel the need to remind everyone that this proposal isn’t being billed as a rigid, foolproof method for curing all that ails MT mule deer. Re-reading Gerald’s initial post...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    You’ll have to explain this to help me understand. Yes, 100% of your time will be devoted to your chosen region, but 0% of your time will be spent in the 2-3 other regions that you said you typically also hunt. Doesn’t that reduce pressure in those areas? I don’t get what you mean. Unless you’re...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Yeah, I think that’s part of the point, though. 1980s management is taking us off a cliff. The pathway out will require behavior change from everyone

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Under the proposal, you’d still have the opportunity to do just that. You’d be hunting for a whitetail, but you get to hunt one all rut long.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Love it. And I appreciate the effort of those of you spearheading the effort. Thoughtful. Measured. Seems like a great first step forward. I certainly hope it gains transaction. Well done!

    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    Congrats on all the options. I’m another one who would encourage you not to over-think the pronghorn rifle too much, unless you just want to buy another one. My dad uses his 340 Weatherby for antelope. It kills ‘em. 😅
