I mean, if it walks like a duck & quacks like a duck...
I'd hope there's an actual plan and budget that shows how the fees collected would be used, and what the budget allows. Details are mission critical for success.
Make sure you've got the tick dope if you're headed to the Wolverine state. Pulled 7 off the dog yesterday and 3 today.
Have fun, trailer looks awesome!
1.) It goes deeper than the current administration. Looking at funding charts for DOI & USDA over the last 3 decades and you see a significant drop in both dollars and personnel. That's the self-inflicted wound. Those appropriations go up and down over time, but the overall trend is to deny...
Nothing wrong at all with asking for it back. Things happen and smiths are usually busy if they're any good. If you need the gun, then get it. A good smith will not have an issue with you getting it back. There are a few things in this world you can count on, and a smith being overly optimistic...
Maybe I'm the anomoly, but No Country & The Road read like he was writing them for the screen. Good for him - cash that check and get paid. I don't put those two in the same category as the cities of the plains trio, BM (his best), Suttree, Child of God, etc.
His Faulknerian period in the east...
Generally I don't have an issue sharing spots with folks I know & trust. If it's a spot easily burned, I ask for discretion. If I'm gifted a spot, I ask about how the gifter wants it handled.
A big part of adult onset hunting is having people who are willing to help & show you places & such...
I'm not sure what the CA's payroll looks like but there's a ton of folks working up there now. Including those working on a $5 million stream restoration project & whatever they're spending on weed treatments, habitat restoration, etc. according to their manager, public access is new on the CA...
That's why making NR LOP apply to their own land makes sense. It reduces the market value for 640's and makes them harder to sell using LOP as the extra incentive.
Yes. And I'd say there's a lot of people in MT who are beneficiaries of some of these landowners.
It's a mistake to think of NR landowners as a monolithic block. The MPG ranch, for example, is responsible for about 60% of the elk harvest in their district, and it's either for free or for a 2...
It essentially means "co-owner." It could also mean a shareholder. Lots of ranches moving into S Corps, LLC's, etc. to avoid inheritance taxes and preserve the family ranch, which should be encouraged in order to help ensure generational transition w/o going deeper into debt.
Under current...
There are some solutions that are in play right now to alleviate the abuse within the system. Once the loophole to use buy/sell agreements was closed people moved over to quit-claim deeds to do the same thing. I think there's an appetite to close that loophole and help eliminate that piece of...
I don't remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you'd always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you're nowhere to be found
