Yes it has nothing to do with campaigning to win on the Alme side. The whole strategy is do nothing and say nothing and be the winner by default. He’ll legislate the same way as a token winner with no backbone.
20 plus years ago Montana was famous for voting in the right candidate. We’d often have republican senators and a democratic governor etc. With the last decade of political “R” refugees moving here from crazy democratic run states I just don’t know that it will happen any more. I for one am...
Don’t care about the electric end of it. I like the look of the upcoming Scout products! I can probably find ways to accommodate the range. But can I chain up all four wheels?
Agreed he is good at his craft. The women in his life appear to agree that he isn’t switched on to their well being either in an L Ron Hubbard sort of way! That said I will be watching Ritchson punch out some bad guys and enjoying it!
Good on them to shut it down for high water temps. It is every summer in Western MT. I still see stacks of dead fish in slack water from guides releasing fish in water too hot. They are so pompous lecturing bank anglers to make sure they shut down by 2 PM as they float by but the State of MT...
You’ve got to think outside the box. Removing the dams restores all that pheasant habitat my grandfather talked about! OK it also speeds up travel time for the smolt and reduces predation impacts…
I’d have been a heck of a lot happier to see the money being spent in Iran going to American infrastructure. There is a huge bunch of defense contracting coming to Montana and Wyoming over the next few years though. Another bill the nation can’t pay but it keeps us working at least.
Big difference between man hours and profit. Data centers are getting all the attention including bidding wars for craft and after turnover maintenance staff. The rest of the market appears to be going for cost. We have contractors from Denver and the Midwest moving into Montana trying to...
I always ask to see the math on these topics. When populations are knocked down to virtually nothing, a 100% improvement is “significant” yet culturally disappointing. An example would be a mathematical improvement from 100 fish to a 1000 fish is huge mathematically but trivial compared to...
This article confirms what I have been saying for the last year. The construction economy is a bellwhether or canary in the coal mine for the rest of the economy particularly in the mountain west. There are odd variances like high end custom homes but overall I am seeing the market retract to...
Dang I’d like to see the language on that claim rejection. Speed limit 80 on the freeway but it’s an open range state so driver be aware you’re not covered if you hit a cow on the there rather than an elk? One more strike against insurers in the mountain states.
I also enjoy Kyle McClelland on his Adventure Chasing You tube site. He is really enthusiastic about the UP country— makes me want to visit that country. He doesn’t have any ego about catch and cook with trout or smallmouth and has shown several hunts with whitetail does that is refreshing...
I also read that the Flathead cherry crop is really hit or miss depending on the location. Wettest spring and early summer I have seen in decades but it looks like the heat is in route. Bummer for the berries. I’m curious about the grouse hatch this year too.
