    Boat Buying Season?

    Something to get our minds off politics, policy, and other new headlines, I thought I'd make this post and invite others to post their boat season thoughts, purchases, or sales. I need a new boat like I need a new gun - Nice to have and if the right deal comes along, my "want" becomes a "need."...

    This will make you smile

    Those of you who are hockey fans probably had this show up in your feeds last night or this morning. Amazing. 104 year old WWII vet, Staff Sergeant Dominick Critelli, plays a rendition of the National Anthem that will make you smile, laugh, and possibly shed a tear as you think about all the...

    2025 - A Season to Remember (or forget)

    2025 – A Season of Distractions When we were getting ready for the 2025 season, I was very excited. After a long summer of too much politics/policy/DC travel, I wanted to get to the business of ignoring business. That excited feeling seems like twenty years ago. For those who adhere to TLDR...

    Montana 2026 Elk Proposal

    Most have seen the 2026 season setting proposals that have been put out for the FWP Commission meeting on December 4th. There is one elk-specific proposal that I hope folks find useful. It has to do with changes to units where elk are over objective and making some of the Elk B tags "Private...

    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...

    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...
