If there were some restrictions and not a free for all, there are indeed a great number of small land locked parcels that could be sold. One trouble is they have no value to anyone but the landowner who surrounds them. I am talking about 20-40 acre parcels that are inholdings. Bordering my farm...
30 years of backcountry horse camps under my belt. As hard as the work was for the staff while you were there, it is even more before,between and after the hunters are on site. In Idaho only 10% of first year guides return. Only 5%make it five years. Those who make it a year after year vocation...
This is Joseph Peterson with the cocker spaniels. I am going to surrender my keyboard to my wife for the specifics. I apologise for the delay, I am not on hunt talk really regularly.
Lol, Hi there this is the wife haha.
We have 4 males, 3 they are all black and so sweet, tenacious, and curious...
This is quite long and I have only started into it. I was one of the participants. I own a farm, hunt on both public and private land and conducted outfitting and guiding on both public and private land so they were interested in my perspectives. They interviewed about 50 people to compile the...
The small town I grew up in just north of the cities was a wonderful place to learn and mature but our family had a lake cabin between Nashwauk and Effie that had even more influence on my life. My grandpa, a couple of uncles and friends built it in 1962 and it is still in the family. Our direct...
Hard to see the Lecia 10x42's under my hands but you can see the Zeiss 20x60S's on my tummy. I have used the Leica for 25 years and the big boys for about 20 years. In the mountains the 20x60's are too big to carry comfortably so I use just the 10x42's. Out in ranch country I carry both. This is...
I had a hunter shooting 139 GR ballistic tips from his 7mm STW. This was when these bullets first came out and I think they are better now. I called in a 6pt bull in heavy timber that was not able to be seen until it was 14 yds away stepping out from behind a big Ponderosa pine. He hit it right...
I watch the Fresh Tracks Weekly pretty much every Friday and appreciate the deeper dives into the various topics not associated with guns, tactics and so on. This weeks was as normal well worth the time watching. I have a general rule for behavior on public land and private land I have been...
Yes. I have had neighbors ask me to lease their ground so they can tell everyone who asks the blanket answer that it is leased. Takes the work of controlling access and policing the place on someone else. Also know of a few ranchers who never let any public access change their mind when an...
A requirement for access is respect, dignity and fortitude. Many people lack those qualities by characterising people they do not know, have never met, may be in a completely different situation and have the above mentioned qualities as lazy rich guys. The blanket statements thrown out in this...
