Yes, and my concern with respect to hunting would be the utilization of the Hays MOA and Missouri Breaks country that I previously mentioned. I actively hunt that area as do many other people. I often find spent brass from WW2 era training missions out there.
The Powder River MOA is partially in Montana and as a whole encompasses some 15+ million acres.
The Hays MOA is roughly 3.5 million acres. And all of that over the Missouri River Breaks including significant public land.
These are just MOAs so the military doesn't own or control the land, but...
Just a reminder that over $200 million was spent on the 2024 Montana Senate race to get a preferred candidate elected. Agree with jimh that it is a lot of money to spend and not expect something in return. Just seems like there's a lot of better ways to spend $200 mil...
Northeastern Montana public land buck. Not the biggest guy, but I'm happy with him, especially considering all the competition out there this year. With the .280AI at about 150 yards with a steady cross wind as he was bugging some does.
Looking for thoughts on how to remedy this problem. I thought (hoped) it would go away on its own, and that has not happened. Every piece of brass comes out scratched up, sometimes the scratch is deep enough that I would consider it a gouge as you can catch your nail on it. I picked up a...
Considering your point, I think it is better as one still has a chance for hope. Hope that a witness recants testimony, hope that someone else confesses on their death bed, hope for technological advances that better interpret evidence. But once they're dead, they don't get to undo that.
Definitely still have an issue with a televised execution for the spectacle of it under Obama. Just like many of the other things that Obama did that I disagree with.
Can you expand on why it is acceptable to end the life of an innocent person in hopes that it deters future criminals or punishes society to some extent? Trying to follow along here.
Good to see the railroad can still make a quick pivot and keep up with the times.
Here's an example of some measures taken in the past. Under the new rule there doesn't seem to be any reason to address a grain spill...
This seems like verging on complaining, but perhaps not.
In a way, this is already the rule. As an example the BNSF has an incidental take permit for grizzly bears. However, BNSF currently must try not to kill bears so they have to take some mitigation, but under the new rule no mitigation is...
I think your post is both a little tongue in cheek and a critique. But, I'm honestly curious what kind of progress do you envision or reference here that is worth the permanent loss of biodiversity, albiet a frog?
Turns out it is much easier to create an existential panic, or boogeyman, over something a little different than it is to look inwards and solve or address actual problems. Maybe it is more satisfying than self awareness or criticism.
