    This is unsettling

    I fail the bear ID test every time. Is the consensus here that it's a griz?

    Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

    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...

    Public Land Trail Cam Etiquette

    Property left on public land should be considered trash and removed by anyone who finds it. You can camp in most places for maximum 2 weeks, but cameras are not camping gear, so unless expressly excepted by some specific forest, I argue they are forfeit.

    Malnutrition kills pronghorn

    Green River Basin is SW WY, which isn't even in the worst drought-affected area of the state. If we have even an average winter, there is going to be a another huge pronghorn die off (my prediction).

    FS land transfer

    How is Trump's DOGE-thrashing of USFS employees and Repub's plank of land transfer considered "self-inflicted?" 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...

    NAPF Crowdfunding Montana Pronghorn Research

    I saw some local historical group auction off pronghorn statues for $100k. I thought, "I like history and all, but holy hell, why can't we get that kind of money for real, actual, living pronghorn?!"

    Wildfire management LTTE

    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...
