The purpose of our National Forests?
So you're Native American? And I think you overreacted to my comment. Maybe in an effort to dismiss it, I'm not sure, but my point stands. Anyone who is only interested in some of the things that wild lands provide, risks losing all the things. At times like these, hunters need all the...- Justabirdwatcher

The purpose of our National Forests?
That is certainly the wishful thinking spread far and wide by the outdoor writers and many state wildlife agencies. In some cases it's even true. But most non-game species (and even some game species) that are in the steepest decline depend on the same mature, wholly intact systems that the...- Justabirdwatcher

The purpose of our National Forests?
Heresy on a hunting forum, I know, but there is a lot more to a healthy ecological system than the abundance (or as some would prefer, overabundance) of big game. If sportsmen want to be seen as something more than just another self-serving group concerned with their own interests, they would...- Justabirdwatcher

The purpose of our National Forests?
According to the proposed 2026 president's budget - "The President has pledged to manage national forests for their intended purpose of producing timber" Right there at the bottom of pg. 33 https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Fiscal-Year-2026-Discretionary-Budget-Request.pdf- Justabirdwatcher

Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?
I think some people here are underestimating the amount of money that exists in foreign countries, including those who would love to buy large chunks of what is still known as "America." It's been happening for a while now in the real estate markets. Anyone who can afford to pay Phil...- Justabirdwatcher

I know you'll find this hard to believe, but it wasn't the independent that started the personal attacks on this thread. Now, do try to add something constructive to the conversation.- Justabirdwatcher

I call out extremist positions on either side. And why any of it matters to you so much is the real question. This thread is about Land Mgt. impact stories, not how one person's opinion makes you feel.- Justabirdwatcher

Textured Spray Paint on a Rifle Stock
Textured spray paint is all I use anymore for stocks. Whether it's sprayed on or sponged on. I can find the Rust-o-leum textured paint in any Wal-Mart and most hardware stores. Provides a perfect grip on a hunting rifle, holds up well and looks great.- Justabirdwatcher

Why is it so important to you to place people on the political spectrum? Is it so you can dismiss someone's opinion (or even facts) if they aren't close enough to yours? That's not how it works. Let me help you though - an Independent is someone who can objectively look at ideas without bias...- Justabirdwatcher
