Washburn is the most anti-hunting hunter ever. He's the anti's best friend and is always cited as, "Even hunters don't agree with <hunting topic of the day>." Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm sure there are hunters who think their specific form/method/species of hunting is the...

The article brings up the concern of "privitization," but it's another government entity taking over management of a very specific tourist hot spot. There is no change in ownership...

People keep writing that, but then don't explain what the point actually is.
Here's my take: You (and many, if not most, people) don't like smoke from forest fires (mostly because it's annoying and potentially dangerous, especially to people with existing respiratory health issues) and you...
