    American Prairie - 88,000 acres of access

    Interesting to see APR make an appearance in this following piece. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/11/01/couple-donate-legacy-38-000-acre-21m-cattle-montana-ranch-to-keep-it-a-ranch/

    Montana 425 Elk B

    Congrats on your success! Glad to hear it worked out. Last time I had a 425 tag I squeezed off a little bear spray in the truck so that wasn't great. The safety must have gotten pulled off when I was tromping around.

    Wilderness Area montage

    As far as one can get from a road in the state of Montana, a mere 17.5 miles. 50 plus miles of visibility. Also some fall colors and lingering wildfire smoke.

    Ripping Apart Montana Roadless Areas

    Appreciate the response here. I agree that parts of many forests are in undesirable conditions and that we are undeniably in a housing crisis. With selective sales, would the proceeds stay with the region or to be used anywhere in the nation? Proceeds used to stay more local, but recently have...

    Ripping Apart Montana Roadless Areas

    I'm using dated information here due to a quick search, so there's a possibility classification has changed. I will try to verify later, but please correct me if this outdated. While the Jericho Mountain Fire started/burned in a roadless area, road building was permitted within that...

    Ripping Apart Montana Roadless Areas

    Honest question, how do you propose paying for road building and road maintenance (clearing culverts, cutting brush, etc)? I saw your later reply, but am genuinely interested in your thoughts. I would suggest increases in federal expenditures but I know many are opposed to that. And...

    Incredible encounter! Thank you for sharing.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    S sorry, I have no insight on rationale for reporting.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Or maybe there's no conspiracy and the joke didn't land as intended while adding little to the discussion at hand.

    Ripping Apart Montana Roadless Areas

    Just want to clarify one thing. The elected officials you mentioned haven't been silent. Governor Greg Gianforte (MT): “Under this outdated rule, nearly 58% of forest service land in Montana was restricted from road development and unable to be properly managed for fire risk. Thank you...

    Roadless Rule

    Congressionally designated wilderness and areas covered by the roadless rule are not synonymous. Rescission of the roadless rule would not impact areas within wilderness, but could impact areas adjacent to wilderness. In a very broad comment, areas in many forests were selected for inclusion...

    Pronghorn of a lifetime?

    First antelope hunt. First stalk, got hooked. Wish I could do it more often.

    Recreation.gov Fees

    Can't speak for all locations and contracts may vary across jurisdictions. Locally, however, the Forest Service maintains the rental cabins available through recreation.gov and sure the FS gets most of that money, but rec.gov also gets a take for hosting the booking platform. Campgrounds...

    Reduced Public Access in the Name of Safety

    There's way more standing snags in that picture than I anticipated for a 10 year old burn. That specific picture looks like an area that burned hot and hasn't had much regen yet, lots of bare mineral soil still and some shrub component which seems like maybe it isn't ready to carry fire yet. I...

    Reduced Public Access in the Name of Safety

    Based on the operations map, it looks to me like the management strategy is to use this fire to prepare/improve indirect fire breaks for a pretty large area. I do think it is unfortunate that so much public lands are closed...

    Reduced Public Access in the Name of Safety

    There's been really good discussion so far in this thread so thanks for getting it going. It's pretty fair to question the closure and present strategy. I can't speak specifically to the Pomas fire and it would be interesting to see the WFDSS for it. Other large Forest Service wilderness...

    Wildfire management on public lands, whats your view on it in the way of hunting in fishing.

    Fire is a complicated topic and I strongly believe that there is not simple or easy solution. As others have alluded to, appropriate response to fire varies greatly by ecosystem and proximity to values. There are places where fire should be extinguished as soon as possible and other places where...

    Rancher/outfitter close public road in eastern MT

    Montana already passed a 'second-home' tax which will go into effect in 2026, estimated to be around a 68% increase.

    Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities

    Just like the Taliban's militia and Iraq's militaries were a joke too. Always more money for interventions.

    Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities

    Never takes the warmongers long to come out of the woodwork and justify any military intervention.
