    “Protecting access for hunters and anglers act”

    FWIW, the senate version was brought forth by Daines. Personally, I can’t see reason to write a bill like this. What’s the point?

    “Protecting access for hunters and anglers act”

    Looks like this is coming up for a vote this week. I don’t see where a lot of the sportsman’s groups indicate positions on it. To me it looks like fluff politics but someone I’m close to works in the house and was asking me for an opinion. Has this topic been batted around here yet?

    Kibler Longrifle kits?

    I have a Woodsrunner 54cal sitting in my garage that I’m going to start work on next month. It arrived in bombproof packaging and a quick dry fit indicates it will be a much easier project than others I’ve done. Maybe I’ll post a few pics when I get started.

    A couple days at the coast

    Nice haul! I was headed that way a couple weeks ago but ended up hitting the 3 day King window near Port Townsend. Which charter did you go with?

    CWD research

    CWD research, U of Mn I hadn’t seen the feral swine angle before. Maybe this is old news.

    Kayaks?

    I have an Old Town Salty pedal drive which I really like. I’ve used Hobies a lot on guided trips but they’re too heavy and expensive for me to own one. There’s an excellent YouTube channel “Spilt Milt” that has tons of info comparing various brands and models:

    Mountain lions "losing fear of man"?

    As I recall, at the time of Reagan’s moratorium, cougars were mostly gone. I think estimates were <500 at the time. Newsome — father and son — on the other hand, pushed it into law via the animal rights angle.

    2024 WA Draw Results

    Washougal muzzleloader cow tag (yawn). It was a 2nd choice. Last year I drew Norway Pass elk and Okanagan deer so I wont complain.

    Football General Talk

    I’d agree with this if it wasn’t for Joe Montana. Or Joe Namath. Or Terry Bradshaw. I’m not sure any of them break into triple digits.

    As I recall, he had no protection, just a cast iron skillet. Bear 1, Lodge 0.

    Catch All Fishing Thread

    It’s a good’un, no doubt... 45min of pulling all the while with your head on a swivel watching out for the beast that did this a couple days before.

    Near West Palm Beach Florida last week. Great fishing. Damn sharks everywhere.

    Snowtrekker Tent

    Mine is a 10x13, I think. It’s plenty big for 2 people, doable with 3. It’s a great setup.
