    Lightning Trees

    Kind of wild what happens to a tree when it’s hit by lightning.When trees are hit by lightning, the moisture in the tree’s cells flash boil to steam which expands, causing an explosion. Was at my folks house when this one got hit in their yard. The meat from this tree was blown ten yards from...

    No King's Deer

    I'm very careful in what I write, which is why I wrote Montanans - those with considerative primacy in the development of both laws and policy - and those who would be the ones to decide whether a change would benefit them, or to reverse a change that didn't.

    No King's Deer

    Montanans already have the most expansive private land access program in the west. I don't see people trading expansive for expensive. I'll leave it to the residents of other states if they wanna buy what's being sold to them.

    No King's Deer

    Maybe. I'm not too familiar with other states but in Montana I'd wager there'd be (in chronological order): Massive opposition in the legislature, and if successful there, a year or two later a very successful citizens initiative reversing it. Basically, an injection of unneeded consternation...

    Do I spend 4 hours to try to save this bird?

    Damn. Well, good on ya. There was apparently a door number 4

    Do I spend 4 hours to try to save this bird?

    If you succeed, you’ll be glad you did. If it dies and you don’t, you’ll be glad you tried. If it gets out on its own you’ll curse the bird but there’s worse ways to spend your day

    Venting

    Man, I am sorry. I dealt with something similar last winter, where my permission from landowner brought drama to them from another. I ended up pulling my stuff just to avoid causing grief between neighbors, but I think it depends on the relationship one might have with the landowners in...

    Do Not Pass On First Day What You Would Be Happy To Shoot On The Last: A Refutation

    Here, ya go! Two files have been created for you: A spreadsheet template (hunter_decision_parameters.csv) listing all parameters and weights for your decision model, so you can input your own scores for each hunt scenario. An instructions/formula sheet (hunter_decision_formulas.csv)...

    Do Not Pass On First Day What You Would Be Happy To Shoot On The Last: A Refutation

    Good responses. I think they only fortify the point that the adage in the OP, aside from having a rythmic verse to it, is not a good heuristic at all. So, I gave the LLM this prompt: "In addition to using the attributes I gave you in my original question, I would like you to formalize a...

    That is a great point as well.

    Do Not Pass On First Day What You Would Be Happy To Shoot On The Last: A Refutation

    Totally. Another variable I’d add, and one that I have felt when it has been said to me, is I just like to Hunt. The dead animal is only a part of the hunt, and if you got five days to hunt and see a great animal on day one, it may just be that you don’t want the Hunt to end because there’s so...

    Do Not Pass On First Day What You Would Be Happy To Shoot On The Last: A Refutation

    The saying "You should not pass on the first day what you would be happy to shoot on the last" is something I've heard since I was old enough to hunt. That said, it is not rational, and assumes a static threshold for satisfaction during a hunt, ignoring how rational decision-making adjusts in...

    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    I’m not trying to connect dots to make an argument exactly logical, but one data point I observe that makes me think Matt’s too drunk on his own theory is the way he attacks Randy. If the United States of America had exactly 0 influencers in the hunting sphere, soft-handed dorks in Washington...

    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    I think he’s trying to be funny, and gain eyeballs via outlandish parody, but yes, I would agree, in terms of achieving their stated mission of reversing the “ hyper commercialized pay-to-play model” Matt’s ship and by proxy Huntquietly is rudderless in a sea of cynicism and has sailed. Some...

    Idaho Hunter Dies Packing Out Elk

    Sad. It’s a very familiar story to a 32 year old man who died on mountains I walk often in 2011 in our little town. He killed a large bull, and died right after. I never knew him but know folks who did, and as fellow father-of-three, elk hunter, and human with heartbeats not guaranteed, I...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Peter Attia had a great series of discussions on healthcare in America, and the way he described it was 3 levers: Cost, Availability, and Quality Pull one and you likely affect the others. Healthcare is skyrocketing in price, or becoming far harder to get, across various systems in the...
