    Roadless Rule Rescinded

    They could've gone to the states and other stakeholders and tried to figure out what works and what doesn't work with the roadless rule and gone from there. Outright rescinding one of the most popular USFS rules without considering local input is certainly not collaborative or local.

    Public Land Shooting and High Fire Danger

    Given the hot and dry summer we're having across the west and the fires that seem to pop up constantly, I'm curious on the attitude you all have for recreational shooting on public land. I have a spot about 15 minutes from my house where I can sight in my rifle and then shoot to about 450 yards...

    New Wyoming Game And Fish Director Announced On Friday, First Woman In Position

    It's interesting because Gordon's term is ending soon. Maybe she figured she'd be ousted when there is a new governor and maybe this is a safer bet?

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    I wouldn't worry about a specific load for grizzly. I hunt elk in NW Wyoming with a .25-06 or 6.5PRC with a Barnes bullet. I like lead free and they shoot well in my rifles. Bear spray on my bino holster and head on a swivel! Had an encounter with a grizz last year and it makes you feel small.
