What are you currently reading?
I was only superficially familiar with the Donner Party story, and really loved this book. Painted a great picture of how things unfolded that led to them getting stranded and discussed some of the aftermath and what happened to the survivors. It seemed like a lengthy book but was a really easy...- Hunting Wife

Yet the elected officials backstabbing the electorate keep getting elected. The electorate may piss and moan, but as long as there are zero consequences for these folks and voters keep rewarding the behavior by re-electing them, it will absolutely continue.- Hunting Wife

An hour of long distance come-hither calling led to me being pretty sure the strutters were going around me, which prompted me to attempt to relocate and consequently get busted, resulting in panicked emergency decoy deployment, eliciting unexpected aerial maneuvers by two gobblers right into my...- Hunting Wife

Yes, this is a ridiculously skewed outlier. I’m continually baffled that people seem to think regular federal employees are making huge salaries. President- $400K/yr Cabinet officials (political appointees)- tops about $253K/yr Senior Executive (“career” pay scale)- tops out around...- Hunting Wife

Stories from Hunter Ed
I’m not really a YouTube-er, so didn’t even realize the type of ads that are apparently just normal on there? Geez. Maybe we should create a kids account just for class. I assume we can do that.- Hunting Wife

Stories from Hunter Ed
One memorable faux pas I guess, and lesson learned for any instructors….there are several YouTube videos that students watch over the course of the week. The links are embedded in Game and Fish’s standard slideshow, never had an issue until this year. I’m not sure if YouTube recently changed...- Hunting Wife

Stories from Hunter Ed
I think this year was year 8 or 9 helping teach now? It’s been a mix of fun, frustrating, rewarding, and exhausting. Seems like we’ve trended towards a lot more adults taking it lately. Had one group that included kids, mom, and grandma. They all decided they wanted to be able to go together...- Hunting Wife

Saying goodbye to hard hunting this fall
That sucks, but on the bright side I don’t think your season will be a total loss. I tore my ACL and had to have a new one put in and some meniscus removed 6 weeks before hunting season. I managed to get out and kill an antelope opening day, and a deer later in the season. It wasn’t the kind...- Hunting Wife

Extreme Downsizing of Dept. of Interior. Hits just keep on coming.
Same for USFWS unfortunately. Proposing another 25% cut to Habitat and Wildlife Management subactivity under National Wildlife Refuge System, zeroing out all science programs, and another reduction of several hundred positions.- Hunting Wife

Extreme Downsizing of Dept. of Interior. Hits just keep on coming.
I think there are plenty of folks, both working for these agencies, and among the general public, that can agree agencies have become too top heavy, decision-making authority has been removed to levels of folks who don’t have any understanding of the actual issues at hand and the impacts of the...- Hunting Wife

Extreme Downsizing of Dept. of Interior. Hits just keep on coming.
We’re running it like a business all right, and have been setting the stage for this since Citizens United. The billionaires know the game, and are getting some huge returns on their election investments.- Hunting Wife

Since they’ve tried and been judicially thwarted twice, and have a loose relationship with the truth, I’m not going to bank on that yet. 🤷🏻♀️- Hunting Wife

Probably same thing coming soon to DOI. Giving us one more chance to go voluntarily/quietly I guess. Given the economy, job market and already decimated ranks, not sure they’ll get many takers. But it seems the obstacles to the long-anticipated RIF are finally cleared. I suspect they’ll move...- Hunting Wife
