    Review of NWRs and Fish Hatcheries

    Whew! Now you bring up a whole other debate about whether plentiful "game" populations are in fact, always good for the ecosystem. :D How are we going to have time to cover all this? ha, ha.

    Review of NWRs and Fish Hatcheries

    So, let's talk about shifting priorities on publicly managed lands for a minute. If the initial purpose for establishing a federal protected area, while important at the time, is no longer as crucial, is it okay to shift the focus of that area to the management of current-day needs, or should...

    Review of NWRs and Fish Hatcheries

    I would be useful to some here to go back and learn about the origins of agencies like USFWS. It is precisely because states were mismanaging their wildlife resources that the federal government had to get involved. Or would you leave a state or group of state's resources (or another country...

    Review of NWRs and Fish Hatcheries

    I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying if that's their intent, why bother going through this exercise. That's all. I mean, the last year proved nothing if not that the rules and laws are up to the person interpreting them these days. I just thought some context would help here. A...

    Review of NWRs and Fish Hatcheries

    I guess time will tell where this one goes. As for refuge purposes, they aren't hard to look up. Federal Register has them all. Now, the question as to whether the purpose of a 100 year old refuge should ever change, is an interesting debate topic. We all know that our wildlife conservation...

    Anyone else using StaBall 6.5 in their .300 WSM?

    I'm getting the impression that the .300 WSM is a pretty forgiving round when it comes to powder and bullet selection. Inherently accurate, as they say. Reminds me of all the marketing around the (dare I say) 6.5 CM that came along six years later.

    I gotta quit drinking.

    I've noticed that a lot of my younger co-workers simply don't drink at all. 20 years ago, I'd go to training or meetings and every night a big group of us would go to dinner then sit around having beers until the placed closed down. Nowdays, everyone goes to bed early, calls their wife or...

    ‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country

    The problem with middle ground politicians is that they rarely make it through our idiotic primary system.

    ‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country

    Not really an odd question when you consider what you wrote - "Being in the middle means compromise, which leads to imperfect solutions to complex problems, which leads to more fuel for social media to overemphasize the problem.....You see it on HT with some people being "Not one acre!"...

    ‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country

    So are you in favor of compromise, or against it? Compromise is how a society, or any relationship, succeeds. Don't believe me? Ask anyone who's been married for a few decades.

    ‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country

    The majority sits in the middle like spectators at a tennis match. If we don't fix our broken primary system, literally nothing will change and things will continue to get worse.

    ‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country

    Last part is debatable because we'll never know, but I agree with the first part. I blame the dems as much as I do the cult.
