Going along with that...
I think we need to look at "intact landscapes" rather than public/private. Here is VT (obviously the white is also private the green is just private conservation areas).
I'd also be curious how elk in the east use the landscape... obviously way more food, do they stay...
I feel like its musical chairs but this time everyone will be in the west when song stops. I just wish everyone that lived in crap places worked to fix the problems they help create and improve their neighhorhood rather to move to mine. I am pretty sure right now there are more people from...
You’d cherish public land in Texas too if Texas valued conservation easements.. Montana is quickly turning into a “MY” state instead of “our” state. Understandably, and ironically… stay there and vote on behalf of the public land lovers of Texas… Everybody is from somewhere, in my opinion it’s...
That happens here in NC on the state level as well. My dad works for forest service and they seem to always be hiring people and either moving them or not paying them enough to be able to live in an area that has cost of living prices going up faster than wages and they move in themselves.
FWIW Central Florida, North Florida aren't what south Florida is. Don't know what state you are currently in but Florida has no state income tax and maybe that offsets the 10-15% pay cut. the Culture of South Florida extends far beyond said geographic location. The fishing is on another level...
There are some great land trusts working to project habitat for multiple species throughout the west. Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, the American Prairie Reserve, to name a few... and many statewide and local land trusts have had a great impact on access to hunters, while not...
Depends on where you live and what you choose to do in your spare time. Here are some benefits to living in Florida:
Fishing (with hook and line or spearfishing) year round
Lobstering
Scalloping
Pig hunting year round
Quail hunting Nov to Feb
Alligator hunting year round
No state income tax...
That's very true too. North or Central Florida is effectively a different state than Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami Dade. And the Orlando Airport is only a 25 minute flight from FLL or so.
I get what you’re saying but that’s on y’all for electing the wrong people. Don’t blame nonresidents for your disgust.
Here’s how I would summarize it from an outsider’s point of view.
I live in the southeastern part of Wisconsin. Here’s a picture of deer densities. That’s roughly half what...
Well stick me in the 1% because that ain't me. I'm here because the state hired me to develop education/career programs and resources for rural and low-economic status youths. I just happened to have fallen for all that "big state, few people, mellow attitudes" stuff that gets projected all over...
I've sit around and thought for a day on some of these ideas and they do sound good. I love the idea of doing the draws in a sequential order similar to what I think it's NV or UT does. The idea of splitting the deer from the elk tag is a great idea also. I want one or the other. Having said...
Here's a link to the bill: http://laws.leg.mt.gov/legprd/LAW0203W$BSRV.ActionQuery?P_SESS=20231&P_BLTP_BILL_TYP_CD=HB&P_BILL_NO=635&P_BILL_DFT_NO=&P_CHPT_NO=&Z_ACTION=Find&P_ENTY_ID_SEQ2=&P_SBJT_SBJ_CD=&P_ENTY_ID_SEQ=
When this first came forward, my initial reaction was "hell no." Now, I...
Isn't that what happened to California in the 1970's-1990's? Everyone from the Northeast and upper-mid-West poured into California and now that they have devoured it, they are moving to new feeding grounds.
I have yet to meet 10 California natives in Colorado. When I meet someone who moved here...
