    CWD research

    Link...this writer does a good job summarizing the situation. .. https://www.antigojournal.com/sports/outdoors/durkin-cwd-stifles-deer-herds-in-wisconsin-s-ground-zero-counties/article_a432099e-c08e-11ef-86f1-93941b9b68c1.html

    Any of you western folk follow findings out of WI? If not, you should.

    CWD research

    I might take a more nuanced view than the OP, but I have some problems with its presentation. I might have some bias, as the same group has been working on a live test for CWD for which IMO claims have been stretched -- and their work has been grabbed by deniers and captive deer folks as reason...

    Mike Lee is back with Border Lands Conservation effort to derail the Wilderness Act.

    Just hit the news here...the BWCA is projected to be heavily impacted. I might have to get one of those Mike Lee hats. The US rep in the area is all for it (Stauber). Literally done nothing for his constituents, toes the extreme line well though...and has a nice habit of praising projects...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Catching Up on this. Several things. Tuition at the university of Minnesota = $16,500 for residents. A year....unless you are poor. Just guessing but re: my earlier point I'd assume the bottom line cost between Mn and Wyoming isnt much different, but state support is. Also this was our...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Interesting Reuters chart.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    This ignores one real factor--the contribution towards tuition each state offers. Until recently--when they went too far IMO (just waiting for a court challenge)--my state had cut that amount drastically, even when adjusted for inflation. State to state differences in cost are steep due to the...

    What 100 year old cartridges do you use

    Interesting one I think that wasnt sold until the 70s or 80s, was a wildcat starting in the 20s I think.

    Sako Vixen 222 Remington Magnum

    Looks like more recent checkered work?

    What 100 year old cartridges do you use

    Yea I think some people are stretching it. The only one I can claim is my trusty 06 mountain rifle. I have a 257 Roberts but that was only a wildcat 100 years ago....commercially it wasnt available until the 30's when Remington started it.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Some new highs in the stock market. Big layoffs being announced. Inflation up, national debt up to staggering numbers...much of the market driving by one thing that's drawing more and more negative public attention.... IMO if ever there was a time to pull back and worry...

    Lever Guns, what would you choose & why?

    That would be my ideal as well, although these days I prefer guns I can pass down to grandkids and I am not keen on the Henry's safety design.

    Audit report out of MN...PR grant misuse

    And wildfire danger is incredibly overblown. Popular thing for the timber industry to complain about though. No one stops to think that the places that have had severe wildfires recently have a lot of dead timber--because the industry would not buy that wood when it was offered to them! They...

    Audit report out of MN...PR grant misuse

    You must be looking at national forest management? They could be cutting more in some places--some of that ain't their fault the industry won't buy their wood in places--but they generally do a good job. County lands are hit and miss, but generally they are managed fairly intensively for...

    Audit report out of MN...PR grant misuse

    Depending on how you define them, wood lots can be different and I dont see anyone taking them out for habitat purposes. One of the worst things for Pheasants and prairie species though is trees. Almost always attract and harbor predators.

    Audit report out of MN...PR grant misuse

    Yes...depending on your goals.

    Audit report out of MN...PR grant misuse

    Long time coming, this audit report....from our non-partisan legislative auditor...just released yesterday. A cautionary tale for other places given the move towards more public land giveaways/resource extraction. https://www.auditor.leg.state.mn.us/sreview/2025/DNR-WMA-timber.htm Our natural...

    Another attack on public lands management by 47, Congress in MT, AK, ND

    My take...applies to most things that require ramping up/spending money....wise companies want to see some stability and a future that justifies the expense. 47s policies and actions are anything but stable and the future increasingly looks like a strong reversal is coming. Not the conditions...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    It starts all over at some point fellas. Poopy diaper/play on the floor/feeding in the high chair/ doing my best to spoil my youngest (10 months old) grandson for a few days. Down for a nap now...out for a walk in the woods with him later today. Back to hunting when I want during the week...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    You are right. Should have picked Zach Bryan, right? Gotta move on from Lee Greenwood at some point.
