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...
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...
