    Let’s talk about firewood

    After 25 years splitting with traditional mauls and breaking a few handles, the past 25 years of using my 22 ton hydraulic splitter (overhauled once after frozen in river ice dam flood) has made a real difference to my old aching shoulders.

    New Wyoming Game And Fish Director Announced On Friday, First Woman In Position

    Nope, that is not correct. I have no problem with that at all, in fact encourage it for those who are proficient and who know and practice "bear aware". A firearm is a good tool and is effective in the appropriate circumstances. Your sarcasm and misunderstanding of what you think you know...

    New Wyoming Game And Fish Director Announced On Friday, First Woman In Position

    "And we wonder why participation from some of the ladies on the site has waned." More likely all the testosterone pumped bravado about who's got the biggest, baddest big bore griz bear defense pistol and can put down a charging bruin fastest!

    Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year

    However, some archers are proficient. First shot ever, one arrow, granddaughter took grouse she was hunting. Shot it in the head! She then took it home, prepared it, cooked it, and fed her family.

    Looking down at Grizzly Bear Tracks, Now What

    Actually most of them. If you read the studies, the many stories and accounts, and the conclusions of data, you will see many similarities between hunters' and hikers' inadvertent and abrupt close encounters. The one large difference pointed to by Wyoming270 is the incidence of bear encounters...

    Bears on the prowl.

    Most years bears pass through our area during early spring and fall seasons, looking for whatever food they can find. This year, with a poor berry crop and other factors, bears have been seen throughout the summer. We have seen four bears right out our kitchen window and wonder how many others...

    Roadless Rule Rescinded

    Yep, we have way too many roads without adequate maintenance, noxious weed control, erosion control, and law enforcement to prevent road hunters, mud boggers and other destructive abusers!

    Roof project

    Nicely done ... very impressive! My old slide-in camper continued to have roof leaks continuously sealed with one failure after another. I gave up, and not knowing how to dispose of an old camper I set it on a concrete block base, framed it in, put a good roof above and my wife now has a...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Bless you, Wildabeest! Back in the day in Vietnam, prior to "software", we had a taped flag on a pole which would be eased toward the rotor disk, with fresh red marker on one blade tip and black on the other. Then the mechanic would adjust rotor blade connecting rod bolts a few turns to bring...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    The Osprey is a complex versatile tool. The fast Apache is really cool. The Blackhawk is a utility and really neat. But as a proven vertical lift ... the UH-1 Iroquois HUEY can’t be beat!

    Perzactly!

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    There are perceived rights and there are Constitutionally derived rights. When carping about rights being infringed upon, it is incumbent on me or whoever to explain those rights. If Constitutional rights are the concern, it is responsible to cite the language and how it has been interpreted by...

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    BTW, I am completely and adamantly opposed to misuse and abuse of camera surveillance which is clearly not contributing to or lawfully consistent with public safety.

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    That is NOT a public place! Let the qualification sink in.

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    As someone with perhaps a confused opinion, please clarify how a camera monitoring a public place serves to "reduce our freedom". Specifically, freedom to do what?

    Steve McQueen night on TCM

    Steve McQeen had love for Montana and often visited incognito, appearing much like just an itinerant ranch hand and driving an older Ford pickup (Yep, a Ford, Muley.) There is a story of him meeting and befriending an old rancher in the Bitterroot Valley, then being hired for a short season by...

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    Breach of privacy is when the camera is monitoring within your home or other private space. Why all the big hype and worry about a camera monitoring your law abiding and ethical behavior in public? There is a pretty clear line between public good and personal privilege.

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    What is the "correct" way to look at this?
