    You are who your record says you are!

    Those of you in the Midwest are all familiar with the Outdoor News. It's been a mainstay in the Midwest since I was a kid. They asked me to craft a piece that encourages hunters and anglers to vote based on records, not party. Bill Parcels was famous for telling a reporter, "You are who your...

    Trying new rifles this season

    Since it's my day home between trips, I figured I'd get to all of the PMs/DMs, and other questions that have piled up while I've been on the road most of the last ten weeks. This one involves the PMs/DMs about HOWA rifles, resulting from some images people saw of me with a mule deer I took...

    onX HUNT is back

    Many of you have asked about the onX HUNT banner ads you see on the forum and the slates you see in our videos this year. Back in 2020, I was told I needed to choose between the two companies I was using; one for maps and one for research. I explained that decision here. Through that time...

    MT Mountain Goat - Big Dreams and a Broken Leg

    One of my favorite episodes we’ve ever done. Marcus’s brother, Jon, broke his leg part way through this coveted Montana mountain goat hunt. Eight painful miles to the trailhead. Not to be deterred, after surgery and some new hardware, he finished out the season as best he could. Tough dude...

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    I am sure most are well aware of my dislike of the corrupt two-party duopoly. My effort in future political activities is to do what I can to oppose the stranglehold the two parties have that results in people who have a 10% approval rating getting reelected 95% of the time. This is my second...

    The MacKenzies - The Land that Time Forgot

    A part of me thinks I should just post photos of this adventure and spare the writing. Yet, the other part of me is trying to find words that articulate how it is that some of us connect to certain places in a way that is hard to explain to others. I suspect we all have our own place of refuge...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    This is a podcast episode that I did with Seth Bodnar. He is running as an independent candidate for United States Senate. Most know my frustration and dislike for the symbiotic duopoly of the two party system. It makes me wonder if Montanans are willing to vote independently or if they will...

    Geezers Clean Yer Freezers - July 31

    For those of you in the Bozeman area, we are hosting our first annual Freezer Burn party on Friday, July 31. I wanted to name it after a small gathering my Dad used to have with a few of his buddies, "Geezers Clean Yer Freezers," but everyone else thought Freezer Burn was a better name. Fresh...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Wildlife, Timber & Healthy Forests

    With a lot of confusion about what the Roadless Rule rescission will/won't do, Marcus and I decided to film this week's FTW out in the field by climbing up to a forest treatment that occurred on USFS land within view of my front porch. A great example of what can be done if we get on with the...

    America250 - Our Public Land Experiment

    Tons of things being done to celebrate our country 250th Anniversary. For me, I struggle to think about how different my life would have been without public lands. It has been a huge impact on my life to having amazing places to explore, discover, get lost and un-lost, to hunt and fish, to...

    Ranchers Shouldering the Waste of Mining and Coal Bed Methane?

    I think there is a Hunt Talker who is living this problem in his everyday life of trying to make a living on the land. https://montanafreepress.org/2026/06/22/in-southeast-montana-a-history-of-coal-mining-haunts-farmers-and-ranchers Bad deal for the ranchers and farmers whose water quality has...

    Mrs. Fin is selling her walleye boat

    We’ve done a full detailing and spiffed up all the items on our Lund boat and Mrs. Fin says to give the Hunt Talk crowd a heads-up in the event someone here is in the market for a decked out used walleye boat. We are going to consign it next month if I can sell it on my own. Hunt Talk gets...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Point Schemes Disguise Tag Declines

    Marcus and I did this video, knowing that when draw results come out from a lot of states people will have all kinds of ways to revamp the point schemes we deal with. Almost like point schemes somehow create larger herds, which results in more tags - NOT! More animals in the hills goes a long...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Vote In Your Primary Election

    We always claim that our elections are a choice between the lesser of two evils. That surely can be, yet when only 20% of Americans vote in primaries the most rabid candidates have an advantage due to the hyper-partisan party loyalists voting in very high proportions compared to the rest of the...

    Bots and Colorado tag reissue list

    I had mentioned on a podcast that a person had approached me about using a bot to illustrate how easy it is to get tags on the CPW reissue list. He had proven the same on the website mentioned in the article linked below. He said he was as able to get any float permit he wanted, even when odds...
