    Any interest in an actual hunting thread ?

    Honestly, I wouldn't bother with any traps. We had a lot of our stuff in a plastic tote that fit in one of our vestibules. The squirrel didn't ever bother our boots or my camp crocs. But they are small enough that they fit under the vestibule, and this one was always sniffing around and causing...

    Any interest in an actual hunting thread ?

    When we flew into the Alaska range, we brought a bear fence to fence off our camp. But at the landing strip we met some seasoned Alaskan dall sheep hunters that were getting taken out who told us that these bears didn't really bother tents. Their explanation was that unlike YNP bears that get...

    AK draws

    After three years of striking out in the draw, it looks like I will finally get to go back in spring 2026. I first dreamed of hunting SE Alaska bears as a kid after reading a mid-2000s Outdoor Life article that said the black bears were so big that you needed a 375 H&H. That was a ridiculous...

    New USFWS Director

    What were the new USFWS director's past stances on cutthroat trout conservation? There has been a lot of work on cutthroat trout genetics in the last couple of decades that has fundamentally changed our understanding of how many species/subspecies of cutthroat trout there are (4 species with 24...

    Pause on Federal Grants - MD25-13

    Jesus, what do you think is happening with this money? I am a postdoc at one of three No. 1 (tied) ranked institutions for chemistry. In our lab we are using ancient equipment, some of it barely functional, handed down to us in order to save money for salaries and consumables (chemicals, test...

    Pause on Federal Grants - MD25-13

    Engineering, in my experience with family members and college classmates, operates differently than a lot of scientific fields in that there is a robust internship system and a limited emphasis on a graduate degree. So engineering wouldn't be as impacted by these policy changes. This is very...

    Pause on Federal Grants - MD25-13

    Yeah, it would decrease the number of those original doctors, the PhDs, haha. I am not sure how it is going to impact the number of those wannabe doctors, the MDs who like to scare the daylights out of me by saying they barely passed organic chemistry. I have no idea why they always like to tell...

    Pause on Federal Grants - MD25-13

    The attempted imposition of a 15% indirect cost for NIH grants is another example of this. It has been blocked by a judge, and it looks like what they are doing is indeed illegal due to a 2017 law passed by a Republican congress the last time the Trump administration tried these shenanigans. But...

    What age to start fly fishing?

    I tried to get into fly fishing when I was around 12 with a kit rod and it was terrible. That thing set me back years. I didn't get back into it until after my senior year of high school when I decided to get a Scott A2 before going to school Bozeman. It isn't a flashy rod, but it gave me a...

    Grizzlies in the Bighorns

    I wasn't going to say anything on this thread because I didn't see the point. But you know what? After reading some of the comments here, screw it. I am guessing that I have a much better perspective of this place than some (not all) of the commentators here, as my dad grew up on our family...

    Judge Rules S&W Can Be Sued

    I don't know where you got that number, but I am going to call bullshit on that. I am a synthetic organic chemist and while I have run into issues of not replicating the odd result, it has been nowhere near the 60% of the stuff I have tried from the literature. When I run into those issues I get...

    CO bear advice

    The acorn crop from the oak brush is really what allows western Colorado to have the number of bears it does. The good fall bear habitat will be at lower elevations than you would think. I hunted fall black bears in 2019 and 2020 in SW Colorado, which was my first time hunting western Colorado...

    Spotted Cow??

    I guess I will be the stick in the mud and say it is pretty meh. My friend from Boise and I were graduate students in Madison and we had ample opportunity to drink a lot of Spotted Cow. We both agreed the best description was that it was fine but not really noteworthy, which I think is a good...

    Glendo WY bait shop

    We would generally stop in at Howard's General Store right off the interstate and grab some bait. We were worm chuckers who usually caught a lot of carp as we didn't have a boat. I also assume the bait shop across the train tracks (a yellow and brown metal building with BAIT painted on the side)...

    FWP giving up on scientific management

    Well, Syte's whataboutism worked like a charm and derailed a thread that had been focused on talking about how the Montana FWP is curtailing longer scientific studies.
