I am a huge supporter or public land DIY. However, this has been going on for years. Too many states are overcharging NR and de-valuing NR contributions…IMO. Given the rest of the states out west…I believe Wyoming will change their structure. They have been very generous to NR but that is...
It is FAR more likely, as western states gain population, that non residents will lose some of their share of the elk pie than it is that the Feds step in and make everyone, everywhere on an equal footing, regarding the hunting of elk, bighorn, etc.
There are many hundreds of more pressing...
@Big Fin has been in Montana for over 30 years and he's not from Michigan either.
@mtnprst you're doing a great job making yourself look bad, keep it up
DDD is a pipe dream.
More likely (and ironically) NY and CA will keep driving out citizens who move to the mountain west while still voting Dem - thereby making the rural west Dem strongholds and Dems will stop whining about the EC and the Senate.
I’m posting this more to vent so thanks for allowing me the catharsis. A brief backstory is that I’m a medical professional who gave up my twenties living in major cities to achieve my degree and met my wife in the city during my last year of training. My goal was always to move to the mountain...
I grew up in New Jersey and at 12 I started hunting. As I got older I got more into it took more seriously and had dreams of hunting and moving out west. By big break was when my cousin and her husband moved to Cheyenne in December 2022. I visited in May 2013 to help out on a spring bear hunt...
I have left a job I love to move when my wife (now ex-wife) got a promotion. She was going to do it whether I went or not. I didn't want to be that far from my kids, so I went along with it. It lasted for a year before things went south. We were married one more year after that.
I did however...
So the info on here and many of Randys vids being on your own adventures helping the regular Joe hunt out west doesnt help hunters ? not sure I agree with that
Ok I get it your working to change the laws in the state you live in great , but it seem to me and what do I know cause I live in Pa but...
Glad to hear someone drew a tag for 35L. I’ve been applying for archery access permit for that unit the past 2 years, unsuccessfully. I was starting to wonder if NRs were allowed there anymore... kind of a rant, but S.D. GFP seems to be doing whatever they can to deter NRs from deer hunting...
Prior to 1934, there were no "Federal" gun control laws, though I'm pretty certain there were attempts. Apparently, just not any that were worth mentioning in history. States did a lot of "gun control" as you mentioned. I can movestate to state if I find local gun laws too restrictive...
After killing my bull in New Mexico I headed up to Montana to try to fill my general tag. I've read a lot of not great things about Montana deer (kind of like the current thread that is going around). I realize that I'm not a local so I can't comment on the quality or quantity except for my own...
I'll boil down what I just read here: I don't want to do the thing I told my wife I would do, and I think that I shouldn't have to because I pay for everything.
Do you love your wife and kid or not dude? Would you really break up your marriage and make your child deal with it over something...
I’m going to say this one more time, that statement is simply not true in Montana. I’m 40 years old. Lived in MT my entire life. I can’t think of one hunting opportunity that went away in the 40 years. They have only expanded in this state. It’s time for MT sportsman to say enough is...
My not be true. The Gov. Texas stated that last election 58% of new resident from other states voted for far right Ted Cruz. If this is true then states like NY and CA will lean more to the left and have less representation and states like Texas will lean more right and have more representation...
So, let's look at this from an outcomes basis:
1. Ukraine crumbles in first few days, Russia sets up puppet state, sanctions half-heartedly linger but not much changes on the world order -- Well, we now know this isn't happening.
2. Ukraine puts up a grand fight but does not get NATO troops...
I'd love to hear what the Massholes say after you walk out of the barber shop, they probably couldn't even understand your weird western accent and therefore misunderstood your question :ROFLMAO:
