Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment
We're already robbing our children and grandchildren of a financial future with the growing deficits and debt this is going to create. We should at least try to leave them a place to go when they don't have the money to buy a place of their own.- Pilgrim

Done! Emailed and called. Thank you, Randy, for leading the charge on this. Through this amazing effort and the clear impact it's having back in Washington, I actually feel like I do have voice.- Pilgrim

Thank you, Randy. Please share the rebuttal. If the WSJ won’t publish, there are plenty of other ways to get the text in front of people who need to know what’s going on and the logical alternatives available to generate the same revenue.- Pilgrim

What those Wall Street folks don’t - and can’t - understand is that many of us “99 percenters” place greater value on the “currency” of the experiences we gain in the outdoors through hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, biking, 4-wheeling, etc. on OUR public lands! I wonder what that editorial...- Pilgrim

Fair enough. But he's still going to hear from me, and I'm going to do what I can to encourage those in his District to let him know how they feel.- Pilgrim

Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment
Having just moved to Washington, I think we do have a chance to impact this. Washington Representative Dan Newhouse is an "R" on the new Public Lands Caucus. Even if not in his District, as a Washington resident, his vote impacts all Washington Public Lands -- not to mention those in the other...- Pilgrim

I don't live in one of the western states with "R" Senators, but I hunt Wyoming's public lands every year, so I just emailed the Chamber of Commerce and WYOGA, two groups of influence whose constituents do vote in WY and rely heavily on public lands for their revenue.- Pilgrim

Public Lands for Government Efficiency?
Randy, that Fresh Tracks Weekly Episode was outstanding! The recitation of billion-dollar-plus categories of potential revenue sources and expense savings that would be available with a little common-sense legislation on mineral extraction (and restoration), feral horse management, etc. really...- Pilgrim

I wholeheartedly echo the prior comments regarding the roads. Got greedy one year and went after a buck right as the rain started. Got the buck but almost lost my brand new truck driving out -- even with all four tires chained. White-knuckle terror the whole ride out. No steering and no brakes... -
GoHunt vs. OnX
I'm on board with the overall consensus of OnX map superiority and GoHunt research superiority. That said, I will always remain loyal to OnX because (a) they're the first ones "to put mapping on the map" ... and our hand-held devices and (b) they've remained dedicated to improving and expanding...- Pilgrim

First Elk Tag Ever - Wyoming Unit 48
As other posters have noted, you will have your work cut out for you, but keep a positive mental attitude and don't be afraid to move around. Use it as a scouting opportunity. If you find the elk, or if you happen to find the deer, it's a place you could probably return to next year if you... -
Reservations Needed?
If you're thinking about Yellowstone and want to stay in the park, you need to start planning now ... and you'll be shocked at the prices for the limited lodging that's still available. Another option is to consider staying outside the park (West Yellowstone, Gardiner, etc. -- Cody's a little... -
Pronghorn Bipod
I'd get the Harris S-25C. As already noted, you want something tall enough to shoot over sage, with a swivel for uneven terrain. My brother learned the hard way the importance of having a taller bipod, and I learned the hard way the importance of having a swivel. The S-25C can still be made... -
Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)
As one of the "unwashed" NR DIY guys, whose thoughts mean little to the Montana Legislature, I'm looking for other ways to be heard. Below is an email I just sent to RMEF. I know they can't jump directly into the fray, but perhaps they can give us NR DIYers another avenue to be heard. A... -
EP 157: 2021 Hunting Policy/Politics with Experts
Just finished listening to this episode. Thought it was fantastic. Randy, Dave and Nephi are correct, you are making a positive difference. Despite what other ass clowns may post on this Forum, your mission and "influence" on promoting public lands and access is vital to its continuation. I...- Pilgrim

Are we Crazy?
I tend to agree with those suggesting the base camp idea, particularly for a mid-Westerner's first trip to the mountains. I did an elk hunt in the Bighorns in mid-October a couple of years ago. Drove through a blizzard to get there, which dumped a ton a snow and limited road access...- Pilgrim

And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.
It's a tough issue, and I appreciate the concerns residents have. But in all of these resident versus non-resident discussions, regardless of state, please don't lose sight of the fact that many non-residents like me try to contribute as best they can to organizations like RMEF, TU, Muley...- Pilgrim

Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)
Catching up on the posts over the past couple of days, as a DIY NR, this is the one that most offends. The issue isn't about creating economic opportunity/certainty for outfitters. They acknowledge they effectively get 39% of the tags every year already. And as pointed out by Randy and... -
Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)
As Big Fin's preference-point post and this post highlight, is it fair to say the issue is not about an outfitter's ability to plan/book any clients for an upcoming season, but the ability to plan/book REPEAT clients every year? I can at least understand the former -- though I still disagree...
