Had the boat on the water by eight this morning. White caps engaged about 830. Sought shelter for 3 1/2 hours in some bay. Said to hell with The God of Wind and was off the water by 1. But the bay had carp.
I truly don't know the specifics, but I strongly believe it isn't for any of the things they are advertising - those are chiefly arguments-as-levers. I can imagine just one guy bending the ear of the bigwig(s) pushing this, or I can imagine true believers. I'd guess it's some combination of...
In every direction from my house are hundreds of thousands of acres of beetle-killed hellscape that deer and elk basically don't use. Most if it ain't in roadless areas, and nothing is really being done about those places as is, and so nothing will be done about it in what are currently-roadless...
I think that would be way better.
That said, interacting with district Rangers and Public Lands staff over the last two years, locally educated and informed influence - be it internal to the Dept or external to the lessees, recreationists, etc - is the opposite of the direction this...
I am surprised by the lack of opposition, or at least quietness, to this by certain contingents that have funded numerous studies showing how critical roadless areas are for elk.
Absolutely fantastic.
Just for perspective, juxtaposed against the 30ish million acres of public land in Montana, the addition of Block Management lands expands the baseline of huntable lands available to the public by over 23%. Of course, some of that BM is type 2 and limited, but the...
I’m not so surprised. The party supported him, stumped for him, funded him, and backed him for well over a decade. The minute he was outta politics, he turned his back on them.
I don’t blame him. He sees the writing on the wall.
But for people who identify as Democrats, not Independents who...
Montana’s statewide races as of late are littered with “old white guys” who had a D by their name and were demolished.
It ain’t the dick nor the melanin in their skin that matters most
I don’t know if that’s entirely true though it might be. Political parties are a religion for some insofar as they’re a dogma (R good, D bad).
I’d like to think individuals could rise above it. I thought Steve Bullock or Tester wouldve done better than they did. Totally moderate candidates...
Reason number one is because she’s a Democrat. It’s a poisoned brand in this state, and I would argue in many cases rightfully.
And before anyone’s Great American Reflex kicks in, it does not then follow that I think the Republican brand is not also poisoned. I do - Montanans at large, not so...
I went to the fall sports parent's meeting last night at my daughter's high school. They will practice outside as long as the AQI is 150 or below.
In the year 2000, two fires were ripping around Boulder. A couple of my buddies who were evacuated were staying at my house and it was two-a-days...
