    List of media who are leading the fight against selling public lands

    Didnt want to derail the other thread, so I thought we could list here any media outlet/influencer/outdoor personality or organization that is being active in the fight against selling public land. We can reference this list in the future. I believe it is very important that we capture those...

    Small towns supporting high school sports

    My boys are on the high school football team and we are headed to state tomorrow after a thrilling 99 yard touchdown pass beat the #1 team in the state in Section playoffs late in the 4th quarter.

    Proud Dad moment (II)

    Well SFC B's post of his daughter picking Belmont (Congrats to her!) got me to thinking I should post my daughter's choice as well. Many of you know of her lucky fall last year (5X5 bull and 160" whitetail 9 days a part), but this choice is a major life decision! Drum roll please..... She...

    I love small towns....

    I bought my Dad's Polaris Ranger and had to go into the local License Bureau to get the paperwork done. I stopped in to ask a question today and the lady says, "Hi Mr. XXXX".

    Saving camping spots on dispersed public land

    We recently went on an elk hunt and wanted to camp along a road that went along a ridge. There is one great place to camp on that ridge and the rest of the spots are less than ideal. So we get to the spot and there is a wall tent set up there. Nobody is there and it is apparent that nobody...

    Elk Bugler has a thread going about the reasons for the decline in hunter numbers that led me to post this topic. I think it would be great to hear what people on this forum are doing to get more hunters involved and how they are doing it. Let's learn from each other and celebrate our...
