At least now you’ll be able to say (and type) what you REALLY think! Congratulations and thanks for the work. Like everyone else I am often frustrated, sometimes annoyed, and often jealous of FS employees, but I love the FS. Absolutely a wonderful place to have worked, even if it’s just seasonally.
I looked into this spot one time.. That is a portion of the old Milwaukee Road ROW that was originally part of the Jawbone Railway. I went to the courthouse and if I remember correctly it predates statehood, and is deeded land. An equally significant portion of the same ROW parallels Sixteen...
Best advice I ever got, when someone asks if you want to go hunting say “you bet! Where are we going?” If they want company, at least the first time, go to their spot.
I often get FB articles from Outdoor Life and they are typically old articles and great fun. It’s really surprised me. But FF&G for the win. Who else is going to tout the joy of turtle trapping?
You’re not the oldest by a long shot. I think the ability to ski and snowboard both are wonderful. When I sometimes can’t stand my kids or they can’t stand me we can still go skiing. Both my kids and wife are superb skiers and all can snowboard to varying degrees. I am a better snowboarder...
I think the appraisal difference between elk and no elk makes sense. Appraisals are based on comparable sales. A wildlife rich property would be compared to the sales of similar property with significant value added to the sales price from those wildlife amenities.
I try not to trespass...
I enjoyed the podcast and while I might not agree with all Bodners positions he certainly seemed genuine. I understand committee assignments and party power but a candidate who caucuses with both parties depending on the issue could wield enormous power in a senate with a narrow majority...
I have had 5 pairs of Meindl Alaskan Hunters all bought in the early 2000’s And I am down to one left. I’ve also worn Lowa Tibets and various Asolo boots. It looks like Meindl quality may be down a bit (I could live with that) but more importantly the model is no longer available. Does...
Many years ago on the first dall sheep hunt I ever guided I set up a small tarp lean-to to put the sheep meat in about 50 yards from the tent. The first two nights a quarter disappeared each night. On the third night my I tied a line of parachute cord from the remaining quarters to a cooking...
Yes without being difficult.. you’re about 40 years too late in that country. I don’t think it was ever ideal elk hunting but it was a lot better than it is now, due to a combination of habitat changes, climate conditions, predators, and karma.
Agreed. It’s very hard not to hold your head and cry at the seeming implosion of our values and institutions.. but I imagine 1968, and 1979, let alone 1859, all felt unmoored and unrecoverable at times. I think that’s why the BHA/PLWAA corner crossing lawsuit in MT feels so personal and...
Anybody else having a lot of trouble with the new tracking feature? It changed now but t locks up and crashes a lot and I can’t figure out how to trim the track. Seems like a classic ain’t broke don’t fix it problem.
I’m sure we’ll hear more, but yes you can ask a court to rule on an issue before there is a controversy (I.e. ticket) if the possibility of prosecution is doing harm. What was needed was a strong statement or declaration of legal status. I think we got that yesterday.
