Because so many of us hate the lack of critical journalism and because we need to be pressed on our opinions. And because some of you are both intelligent and have completely different worldviews, experiences, and opinions from myself and thus likely have exposure to more varied "news" than I...

I believe the feds are arguing that smoking weed or taking a prescription pill you don't have an active subscription for means you shouldn't own guns... See the most recent response by the feds.
Maybe I'm misreading it
My daughter has a Tikka 243. My son will also be hunting this fall. I'll need another youth rifle. I'm thinking my daughter will be ready to bump up (slightly). And my son can take over the 243. I'm looking really hard at a 7mm-08. There's obviously a lot of other options. My budget is under $1k...
Going to be in La Paz in a couple of weeks. Taking a medium heavy spin rod down to mess around with. I picked up an old edition of Baja Catch that recommended throwing jointed rapalas. Any other "hot tips?"
I typically rock pataguchi Go To shirts (used off eBay) to the office, short sleeve, un tucked. They are trim fitting, plenty of freedom across my back and fit my short torso. Last year I discovered Mountain Khakis, which are also pretty comfy and not as bland. I just tried a Baja Llama but was...

“There’s a state statute that says if the public has used a road for 10 continuous years, it’s dedicated as a highway,” Baird said. “There’s no evidence that the public has used these trails as a road, basically at all.”...

Can't say I had that on my 2026 Bingo card.
I personally side with the Assistant AG on this one. But I can see the NRA's point.
Even a few dollars helps.

Since it's the end of the year. Post up your all-time favorite song. Just one. And then we'll do an informal vote in a week or so as to which song garners the most likes. I'll go first. I think this one is simply the best. I still turn it up every time I hear it.
Stay dry(ish).
Purple are gauges that have exceeded the "Major Flood" level. Black is record setting flows. I just commented last week that the Skagit has the oldest FEMA flood mapping in the Puget Sound area, and a really low 100-yr flood elevation. I bet that changes soon!
So my office is currently embattled in a local development dispute. We represent a water district looking to protect drinking water quality. I'm the one that gets to present at all the public meetings. I just did my first tonight. It was very stressful. I'm all kinds of wound up. I'm already one...

Multi-year effort (the second time!) that only resulted in $1,800 in fines. Which likely didn't even pay for lab testing of the evidence.

WDFW once again is proposing to greatly expand the public estate in WA. There are some absolutely great additions here. I encourage those that care to take 30 secs and send an email of support.

My dog got smoked by a skunk in the driveway the other day at o-dark-thirty. Side note, probably the biggest dick move I've ever made, I walked back into the house, woke my wife up, and said, "Don't let the dog in, he got skunked. Allie and I are leaving. Bye." My daughter and I then went...
Ok, this is a carryover from another thread I started last year, where I was trying to spend an unusually large bonus and wanted to upgrade my rifle.

I have a Vortex Summit SS that I bought from someone on here a number of years ago. The actual tripod is fine for my needs but the standard head is bad and getting worse. I took it apart tonight and found a bunch of metal shavings in all the moving parts. It looks like the OG lubricant was...
Any ideas how to fix this?
One of buckles on the frame pulled out on my first elk hunt of the year. In the moment I used a bit of paracord, but I would like to find a way to attach the buckle again.
I sent a request to MR but I doubt I'll have enough time to ship it to them and get it back...
