I get your point but let's be real. People are going to continue to move to Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Utah etc. to "get away" from the more populated areas. They love the idea of living where they can easily access their forms of recreation. The problem isn't a few hundred mountain bikers...
I know I'm late to the party, but here are a few thoughts . . .
1. You and your wife are a team - hopefully you both play for the same team and not opposing teams. ;)
2. Your daughter's upbringing is very important - if she is assimilated in her school and other facets of her life, I wouldn't...
I am not saying Wyoming raising it’s prices is going to be the end of anything. I think a lot of the prices States are charging are probably much lower than they could be or even should be. But there comes a point where tag and license prices become cost prohibitive for some. The higher the...
Excellent explanation Mr Lamb.
You saved me responding in a very derogatory, condescending, questioning those suggesting ulterior motives mental capacities.😁
I should have specified on the forked horn comment, its not just about a forked horn because there are some mature deer in this state that are only forked horn. Its the fact that most of the deer here killed are 1.5-2.5 years old on public land. It mainly only a problem if you're after quality...
For those very reasons, more restrictions and limitations are needed to preserve and protect the essence of why people are moving to those states. In Montana the impacts are already staggering. If we don't rein in the crazy motorized / mechanized impact on our heretofore pristine peaceful...
Like South Carolina? :ROFLMAO: Just kidding. Go Panthers!
I always thought this might work. If you try it let me know.
Make sure your kids go to college out west. If you have to, secretly tell them look Dad will pay for some of your college if you go here, here, or here. But if you go to...
The first time I went to gulf side and drive across north central Florida from NC I was amazed at the amount of green grass, wide open spaces and cattle ranching operations I saw. It’s beautiful country. Definitely not what I expected after being told all my life by other southerners that...
I’m considering moving the family out west from the east coast. The wife is supportive and wants to go. I’ve only hunted Wyoming Antelope and am hunting Idaho this fall. Interested in Elk and Deer. Just wondering which state/area offers the best resident hunting areas. Thanks in advance.
I would literally vote for allocation 80/20 in favor of NR if 30% of Colorado would move back to the Midwest.
Come to CO every year, ski/hike/hunt, but please don’t move here.
Anyone who moves anywhere and disregards the ethos of those places and doesn't try to first understand them is going to piss folks off.
Example, if what draws you to west is public land opportunities then don't move here and destroy that which brought you here.
Don't lease land, hunt public...
Dang now there are some funny answers on here. Well my take on it is I was born and raised in Great Falls. I spent 28 years with the Cascade County Sheriffs Office retiring in 2004. I had the chance to see some of the worst any community could produce and some of the best as well. Great Falls...
I don't think that we have to accommodate anything. None of us has a choice in this other than the one to accept it and move on or not accept it and become that strange guy in the corner always railing about something that he/she has no control over in the first place.
All the roads in the southern portion of Unit 49, county road 431, 433, 435 and 436 off and west of state hwy 285 are good truck roads not even 4 x 4 so one does not need a ATV... period. Dispersed camping everywhere. Good numbers of nocturnal elk move up and down the buffalo peaks everyday...
Honestly Bambistew, I agree with most of what you’ve said. I also try not to simplify things like mining=bad. In this particular case, I simply think the majority of Alaskan’s are so pro-resource development that we’ve cut ourselves a raw deal on this project. What’s stopping Amber Metals LLC...
So you think things should change? I kinda thought people were moving west for what they consider a better life or environment? You're right lets "accommodate" all the new comers fleeing a bad environment they at least partially helped create. I don't get it. Lets leave this place it sucks and...
Absolutely.
Here are a few:
1. Youth only deer seasons, added days.
2. Upland bird hunting days have expanded more than a month.
3. Saturday opener from traditional Sunday.
4. Youth antlerless elk and deer in nearly every unit in the state.
5. Expanded wolf permits
6. Elk B tags
7. Does anyone...
You bring up some good points. It is worth pointing out that you will have to work for whatever game you are pursuing if you come here. I don't know of any DIY western public land hunt that is a slam dunk. I don't want to imply it's going to be easy if you do come here and try to hunt blacktail...
