    Bury Me In The Mackenzie Mountains

    Best of luck. I am going back to the Cassiar's in six weeks for a second moose hunt. Like you, my first trip up there in 2024 was an experience like no other and the desire to go back and do it again was at the top of my list the moment I flew out of the bush. I'll have four days of driving...

    Anyone else getting antsy?

    Very antsy. Season kicks off in six weeks with a three week trip to northern British Columbia for moose for me. Then back to CO for elk (2 tags) and deer (2 tags) from mid-October through end of November. Rifle and archery ranges are getting a lot of attention.

    Ukraine / Russia

    Was a forced mandate that recently has been relaxed. Also, 20% doesn't really reflect "most" of the European Union. It is highly skewed by Norway and to a lessor extent, Denmark. This link is from 2025 but things have only shifted away from EV's even more since...

    Ranchers Shouldering the Waste of Mining and Coal Bed Methane?

    This is not the thread to hash this discussion - but since you persist .... Post #42 on the thread "OR Ballot to end hunting, ....: elkduds: "Democrats like me value ..., fair distribution of wealth; ....". I asked you (privately) to clarify what that meant, to "check[ing] for understanding...

    Ranchers Shouldering the Waste of Mining and Coal Bed Methane?

    No, not really. As I told you privately, I do not support the sell-off of public lands to private owners or to the States that can then turn around and do the same thing such as what Mike Lee has tried to push through. It would appear your reading comprehension needs some work. I consider...

    Social security by the numbers

    You paint with a very broad brush. I don't want SS to go away. It is a social contract that the US Govt. agreed to with the voting public - you pay X amount in over your working lifetime based on your income and you get a guaranteed amount Y back when you retire. I don't believe the Govt...

    Social security by the numbers

    Better go back and check your facts. Clinton never had a recession. The recession of 1990-1991 (-1.4%) lasted 8 months (started in July) and was a result of the S&L crisis aftermath and Gulf War oil spike. Cost Bush I re-election. The next recession occurred in 2001 (March) when Bush II had...

    Social security by the numbers

    You're awfully naive aren't you. Or just disingenuous.

    Social security by the numbers

    It's the President who provides leadership and signs off on anything that comes out of Congress. The Oval Office has final responsibility for what does or does not get enacted.

    Social security by the numbers

    Come on, you're better than that. Clinton had 8 yrs to do something as did Obama. Biden had 4 yrs. 20 yrs out of the last 30 have been controlled by Dems in the White House. Bush had 8 years, Trump 1st term 4 yrs. Now Trump is halfway through his second. Fixing SS has been punted by both...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I make no assumptions about you. Just offering cautionary advice for future actions is all. Glad you have a clear vision of how you want to live your life.
