    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    Not strange at all. I spend most of my offseason engaged with elected officials who have a huge influence on conservation policy, funding, and public land decisions. I've grown frustrated with both sides. If I can contribute to an effort to change this system that works against hunting...

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    I have seen many saying that same thing. Seems that running as a D would have made him part of the billionaire donor-machine he's campaigning against. In my time with him, I get the sense that winning, yet being beholden to the "swampers" is not very appealing. One could also ask, assuming he...

    You are who your record says you are!

    Those of you in the Midwest are all familiar with the Outdoor News. It's been a mainstay in the Midwest since I was a kid. They asked me to craft a piece that encourages hunters and anglers to vote based on records, not party. Bill Parcels was famous for telling a reporter, "You are who your...

    Trying new rifles this season

    Not really. Like most rifles these days, they are a good rifle, that when set up properly, is more capable than my normal talent level.

    Data center/Public lands analysis

    I just got the same notice. I thought we were a market-based economy where private industry and corporate ideas were to compete based on free-enterprise principles, not government subsidy of picking winners and losers. This is BS. If these data centers are needed to meet demand, let private...

    Trying new rifles this season

    I would like to think so. If not, then they shouldn't make the investment in our platforms. The management team at Legacy Sports, who I worked with closely, has been our signing our praises to other rifle companies. That speaks to the quality of the people I worked with at Legacy. Their...

    Trying new rifles this season

    It surprised me, also. As it did the management team I've worked with for all of these years. Yet, the owners have the final say and I'm sure they had their rationale. Forward and onward.

    Trying new rifles this season

    Not a complete necessity, other than Mrs. Fin put her foot down in 2018 and said we will not sink any more of our personal money into this operation. What she tolerated until that point was so far beyond what was reasonable, I sometimes wonder how it is that I'm still married. Without that...

    Trying new rifles this season

    Since it's my day home between trips, I figured I'd get to all of the PMs/DMs, and other questions that have piled up while I've been on the road most of the last ten weeks. This one involves the PMs/DMs about HOWA rifles, resulting from some images people saw of me with a mule deer I took...

    onX HUNT is back

    Many of you have asked about the onX HUNT banner ads you see on the forum and the slates you see in our videos this year. Back in 2020, I was told I needed to choose between the two companies I was using; one for maps and one for research. I explained that decision here. Through that time...

    MT Mountain Goat - Big Dreams and a Broken Leg

    One of my favorite episodes we’ve ever done. Marcus’s brother, Jon, broke his leg part way through this coveted Montana mountain goat hunt. Eight painful miles to the trailhead. Not to be deterred, after surgery and some new hardware, he finished out the season as best he could. Tough dude...

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    Not sure who wrote this script that McConaughey is reading, but it's pretty much dead on when it comes to explaining why the parties/donors/consultants wanting to keep their little two-party duopoly in place. Not sure how to share a FB video, so I'll just post the link...

    Montana moose x 2

    Great stuff. What an amazing place, especially with a moose tag in one's pocket. Congrats to all.

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    Follow what’s being published by the most ardent Montana Ds and some of the Montana Democratic party leadership and you’ll see it. I’m talking beyond paid ads and fliers. Check out their social media accounts.

    Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

    I am sure most are well aware of my dislike of the corrupt two-party duopoly. My effort in future political activities is to do what I can to oppose the stranglehold the two parties have that results in people who have a 10% approval rating getting reelected 95% of the time. This is my second...

    So, how is the retirement gig?

    Congratulations, Buzz. Very happy for you. My gut tells me you will not flunk retirement as many people do.

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    He was asked who he would caucus with. He said "neither side." He explained how in Senate rules you are not required to caucus with anyone. He explained that a truly independent Senator can hold a lot of sway in a Senate as closely divided as this will be, even when it comes to committee...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    To which ones? He mentioned quite a few attack ads directed against him and was asked some questions by the audience to clarify what they might have heard in the attack ads. I think he summarized it very well when he said (a quote from @Straight Arrow that I had used on my podcast with...
