    Puppy pic. thread

    Took my 6 month old lab pup Tikka with me to look for elk. I was glassing when she came over with this in her mouth. Had to have her pose for a picture. I’ve been hiding sheds I’ve found on the woods around the house for her and she’s been doing good with that. This is her first shed on her own...

    Selfbow from wind blown trees in Kalispell

    100% Norway Maple. Lumber falls into soft maple category so if you can make a bow out of that, your good to go. Seems like all of the city trees in Kalispell are maple or ash. Ash would be a good choice if a neighbor has one down.

    Weyerhaeuser to Sell Montana Lands

    I'm still leery. Sounds like a buy and flip deal. For what they paid it wouldn't be hard to make a huge profit breaking it up into smaller chunks. I hope I'm wrong though. That said, breaking it up could make it more affordable to conservation organizations, state, Stimson, etc. that couldn't...

    Stimson would be great. Even better if the purchase allows them to open a mill in Montana again.

    Weyerhaeuser to Sell Montana Lands

    I know this isn't technically a public land issue, but it is an access issue. Weyerhaeuser has maintained an open lands policy in Montana, making hundreds of thousands of acres accessible to the public for hunting, fishing, and recreation. The news release says that 110,000 acres is under a...

    Kalispell, MT/Moving West

    Currently working on letters of interest to send out to the timber companies, and have applied for one county and two state jobs. The big thing is insurance. We're not married, at least not yet. Been holding off and looking for a place to "settle down" so we don't get stuck where we are. I don't...

    Kalispell, MT/Moving West
