    Randy's Ramblings - Content, motivations, and recent threads

    I’m home for two days, leaving again tomorrow on the next trip. Scanned HT a bit when time allowed. A few comments in the Ryan Lampers threads seem to be pointed at me. While working today my mind starting thinking about some of those questions and if I could offer any insight that is helpful...

    Last Call for Walleyes

    Mrs. Fin looked at my calendar just before I headed off to Nevada a couple weeks ago. As she scans I hear her mumble, "Deer, elk, deer, elk, Yukon, elk, Ted, deer, deer, elk......." She looks to me and says, "Where's the walleye fishing on that calendar?" Caught red handed and overbooked, I...

    Ever walk past an elk that was watching you?

    Opening day of elk season this year, we had some other hunters down below in the area elk usually move through. Since they had camped down there, I decided to stay higher and just watch what might happen for the morning. I've seen some crazy things out elk hunting, but this is a first. Makes me...

    Elk Week with Jim Zumbo

    It's Elk Week, so it seemed a fitting podcast would be with a long-time friend and mentor to my elk hunting, Jim Zumbo. Jim is now 85, but he is still as sharp as ever, even if his body needs some extra care. I first met Jim a long time ago at a seminar he did, about elk hunting. Once we...

    Big Beautiful Bill? Not for wildlife

    I decided to do a bit more discussion about the many aspects of the BBB that are going to impact wild places and wild things. We need all of these resources, but there are proven ways to do it better, with more regard for wildlife and the local economies. Yet, the political machines have...

    No Deal with Mike Lee - ALL GAS, NO BRAKES

    The time for deals was a couple weeks ago. If we cut a deal with him now, we're folding when we've been dealt a royal flush.

    Fresh Tracks Weekly vid - Sen. Mike Lee's Dream

    We've already been discussing the Senator Lee proposal and what it means. This morning Marcus and I recorded this video for Fresh Tracks Weekly. I find it worthy to note that Lee has added language that gives priority to land sales that help eliminate the checkerboard. That starts at about...

    The Fishin’ Was Too Good

    After being on the road almost non-stop since January, I was pretty excited to head out for a walleye fishing trip. We had planned three days of fishing, but with the wind forecast being terrible, I cut it to two days, knowing the futility of fighting Montana prairie winds. While packing and...

    Public Land Caucus To the Rescue?

    It will be nice when we no longer have to employee all of our time, platforms, and resources to the public land issue, but for now we have no choice. In this episode of Fresh Tacks Weekly, Marcus and I got through more of the details and the vote counting strategy that is going on among many of...

    Changes to the Forum Changes

    Well, when I had our tech guys remove the like button yesterday, I surely didn't expect 200+ comments. I read some of the reasons why people want that button, so it is restored. I still have my list of ideas about how discussions on this forum more useful, less distracting, and less of what at...
