    Comment in Support of Bighorn Sheep project in the Madison Range

    Will do. Anyone have more information on this? I’ve hunted elk in there and didn’t see any sheep. Kinda strange given the expanse and habitat. Were they extirpated and never reintroduced? Seems odd. Or did the reintroductions falter?

    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    He might be, but keep in mind Beck and Mike Lee are both LDS. I don’t know if the Church has taken a public stance in this particular instance, but they have certainly not been opposed to public land sales in the past. Who do you think will be poised and ready to buy all the land as it becomes...

    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    “That’s not sustainable,” he says in the recording. “It’s not fair. It’s not serving the Americans who actually live here. “We’re opening underused federal land to expand housing, support local development, and get Washington, D.C. out of the way of communities that are just trying to grow.” In...

    Catron Co.,NM declares state of emergency...wolves.

    Dang. I'd appreciate it if you send any information you have on the feral cattle to me. I deal with mavericks as a side gig.

    Catron Co.,NM declares state of emergency...wolves.

    Didn't they follow through with eliminating those feral cows? I've spent a lot of time in your neck of the woods. Have you ever read "Black Range Tales"? If not, I highly recommend it. You can usually find a copy on Thriftbooks etc. We don't visit much anymore. Even the Gila has been overrun...

    Brooks talks on his bull

    I would guess 10-12 but I'd like to know as well. This did make me think a bit about what is "free range" hunting. I wonder how much this animal gained from being spoon-fed alfalfa and apples in a neighborhood? At what point does an animal become more farm critter than wild? The best thing we...

    Brooks talks on his bull

    If there's a hero of the story, it's that grumpy dude. Just because it's legal, and you can, doesn't mean you should.

    Project 2025.....

    What are the specs on the slab? I am putting up a similar 12 footer for my daughter (stock tank panels).

    Illegal Thermal Use

    "Preserve" as utilized as a common verb, but you know that. You are deliberately pedantic to be annoying, and your troll effort succeeded. Trolls aren't worth my time.

    Illegal Thermal Use

    Imposing limits is somewhat arbitrary, but necessary to preserve hunting. We collectively decide what those limits are via our State agencies. I am having a hard time figuring out what your argument is, if you have one. Are you seriously saying there should be NO technological limits?

    Anyone read Gleick's book on him?

    West coast salmon recovery

    Thanks for your perspective. I recall reading an article written by an Alaskan who travelled to Eastern Russia to hunt and fish around the fall of the USSR. (I think it was E Donnal Thomas, Jr). What I remember vividly was his impression on the overwhelming abundance of fish and wildlife; like...

    To hang bear bags or not to hang bear bags when backcountry hunting.

    I rarely hang anything (besides meat). All food, utensils, trash, and food-like items (toothpaste) goes into bear canisters (Mine are BearVault brand). They come at a weight/bulk penalty, but to me it is worth not messing with hanging stuff from trees. I never, ever cook (or even eat so much...

    Idaho Palisades 2024 elk hunt

    LOL. "I've been told." I believe this was taken off an internet post that I recall...Is OP for real? I don't get the shtick. I also scrounged up a Palisades archery tag this year. Never hunted it before. I think we have our work cut out for us.

    AZ auction tags going away

    "Hating" is your spin. Apparently it is constructive, hence the point of the thread; Arizona took actual concrete action. It's a conversation worth continuing to have if we want to make things better and preserve our hunting heritage. If you are "tired" of it, that's on you. You aren't the...

    Pyramid Lumber in Seeley Lake, MT Closing

    You ever hear the Iris Dement song, "Our Town?" Your story sounds exactly like my hometown, albeit a bit larger. We were 2,000 but still a well-rounded little town. When I go back now, I am overwhelmed with sadness to the point of tears. Not to mention the substance abuse and broken...

    Scientists working to unravel mysteries around rare gray wolf found in Davenport IA

    Yup. Or escaped domestic. Not exactly a daunting "mystery."

    Colorado: HB 1375. Wolf Non-Lethal Tied To Rancher Compensation.

    This bill isn't passing. Read past the headlines. In fact, it will get crushed. Folks see "bill introduced" and assume it is a done deal, and get worked into a lather. This stinker doesn't have the support.

    AZ auction tags going away

    I agree wholeheartedly (said as an AZ resident). This news comes as a bit of a surprise to me given the clout that those able to purchase said-tags obviously carry. Increase tag or application fees, expand 'bonus' raffle programs, etc. We've got 350,000 license-buying hunters in AZ. The...

    Return Of The Jaguar to Arizona and New Mexico, your thoughts?

    What are you basing your opinions on? There is actually an excellent book done by a former Arizona biologist, David E, Brown, called "Borderland Jaguars." I can't recommend it (or any of his other books on Southwest wildlife) enough. It is the definitive word on the subject. Jaguars have been...
