And you are definitely correct, selfishness is what that ultimately gets at. The dictionary definition of “corrupt” is one who is dishonest for their own personal or financial gain. So dishonest in the pursuit of selfishness.- Elky Welky

To clarify, my comment was rich AND corrupt, not rich devoid of corruption or the corrupt devoid of being rich.- Elky Welky

Yup, turns out, rich and corrupt people… still suck. Surprise! Just keep showing up and giving a chit. That’s all any of us can do, and it can be surprisingly effective.- Elky Welky

Fishery vs. wildlife
I'd even argue that it isn't their job to take a position, but simply to inform. With so many different interests at stake, biologists can only help shape the conversation by explaining the potential consequences of any of the different approaches. Not only is it wise for them to stay neutral...- Elky Welky

Montana Mule Deer Raffle
BREAKING: Montana BHA’s statewide mule deer raffle raised a record amount for mule deer conservation, and the lucky winner has been drawn!

Montana Mule Deer Raffle
No, it does not mean that. Equitable opportunity simply means not favoring one user group over another. I.e.: policies favoring nonresident landowners over the general public, guided clients over non guided hunters, the wealthy over the average joe, etc.- Elky Welky

Montana Mule Deer Raffle
Good morning everyone! Montana BHA is finalizing the announcement regarding this raffle, and I'll make sure to post here once that formal announcement comes out. I'm as eager as the rest of you to get the word out! There also seems to be some continuing confusion about what BHA does and what...- Elky Welky

The Rinella Effect
There are still things I really like, but it is tough. Really hard for me to enjoy watching the show once they started going on expensive guided trips with baseball players, country stars, and industry insiders; riding side-by-sides, and generally doing very little DIY boots on the ground public...- Elky Welky

No, it just means the lower court's ruling still only applies in the 10th, and in the other circuits it remains an open question. In the other circuits it becomes "persuasive" authority but it is not "precedent," and if they choose to reject it they can.- Elky Welky

Corner Crossing latest
The court only hears about 100-150 of roughly 7000 cases that come before them, and often they hear the cases that satisfy political whims and contemporary national issues. The tenth circuit ruling, although not law, could be highly persuasive in other circuits. If another case came up in the...- Elky Welky

Corner Crossing latest
SCOTUS takes a very limited number of cases. If the hunters win this appeal, even if the landowner requests review from the supreme court, I highly doubt they will take up the case. Just to clarify, if the hunters win, the only states where corner crossing will be explicitly legal based upon...- Elky Welky
