    Public Land Trail Cam Etiquette

    This is simple for me. It's not mine so leave it alone. Doesn't matter what the circumstances are or legalities.

    More rage bait: Grizzly claiming your elk and getting a ticket for waste?

    Not a question of being tough. Choices lead to a situation he was unwilling to deal with - the dead elk in the dark. "Top Level" hunters should be able to not make choices that put them in undesirable situations. It appears he got out of the ticket which is unfortunate.

    More rage bait: Grizzly claiming your elk and getting a ticket for waste?

    A quote from the hunter said they they didn't want to skin and quarter a dead elk in the dark in grizzly country. Shouldn't have been hunting late in the day in grizzly country then. Several choices lead to this outcome. Got what they deserved. IMHO.

    Outfitter camps, and the numbers of hunters shuttled through them.

    Wildfire management LTTE

    I have no new solutions. Most everything has been tried and argued about for decades. I agree it's all costly and people hate taxes and love to gripe. I hope we can recognize there are a lot of resource professionals doing their best with what they have to address the situation they face.

    Wildfire management LTTE

    It's complicated. Very complicated. The person fighting the fire with the pulaski is paid about $20/hour. There isn't enough of them. There isn't the funding for enough of them. College kids aren't rushing into the flames for a $20/hr summer job. Backcountry vs. threatening homes and...

    James Risch says "Public land sales over my dead body."

    Risch is just doing the reelection dance. He stood up up when it counted thankfully, but only after intense pressure. I don't see a real public lands supporter in him. We'll have him for another term so I'll hope for the best.
