    Challenging to find staff who have hunting experience. Is hunting declining in interest.

    Definitely not a $ thing. We get plenty of quality applicants starting people in the $25-$30 range. It's noticing that young people we hire are not hunting at the same rate of previous generations. Lots of young men who are raised by their mothers and never were exposed to hunting. As...

    2025 college football 🏈

    I was shocked to see UW actually pulled off the comeback Saturday. They really needed that after getting beat up by the Utah and CU.

    This also seems to indicate a downward trend. https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wsb.1578

    Challenging to find staff who have hunting experience. Is hunting declining in interest.

    I have one UW engineer working for my other business, High Plains Biochar. He has never hunted. What department do you work in? We have tried working with UW engineering but never had much luck as biochar was not much of a focus until recently so we do most of our work down at the CSU...

    The nice thing is we build up inventory all summer so it's actually ok for the fabricators to leave some during season. Office staff is a different story.

    Challenging to find staff who have hunting experience. Is hunting declining in interest.

    Yep. I meet very few young people who want to run their own business these days. My issue is I have another business that is expanding globally and I just have not put a whole lot of focus on this one lately. I realistically should sell this business and let someone who has a passion for...

    Hello, I have a thread about hiring help for my outdoor business and someone suggested I talk to you. I was curious what kind of work you do as we have really struggled to find marketing help that has hunting experience. Rowdy Yeatts Skull Bracket Thanks

    Challenging to find staff who have hunting experience. Is hunting declining in interest.

    That's pretty much what we do but it's not ideal having one person at the company who has hunted at all. We hired a new welder today. From LA originally. Raised by his mom. Never hunted. Big Broncos fan.

    I kinda feel like that's what's going on here as well. More overall hunters due to older non residents coming out West for a hunt but an overall drop in hunting interest for young people.

    Interesting feedback. The hunting experience is really helpful for a variety of reasons, especially office staff. Even the guys fabricating really need to know the difference in what animals each bracket is for and for custom work. For office staff when they talk to hunters it's really...

    Challenging to find staff who have hunting experience. Is hunting declining in interest.

    Hello, Has anyone else had challenges finding people with hunting experience to work at their hunting/outdoor related business? I own a company called Skull Bracket in Laramie and we are finding that few people we interview have any hunting experience. Most of the young men who have worked...

    What can be done, Medicine Bow near Centennial

    Hi All, I wanted to pass along an update for what was going on in this area. I was up later last fall and the USFS was in the campground ripping out all the fire pits, concrete pads, and concrete picnic tables. They did not save the fire pits of concrete legs for picnic tables to reuse...

    What can be done, Medicine Bow near Centennial

    Howdy folks. I have observed an interesting situation on our public land and wanted to get your input on what can be done here. This is in the Medicine Bow NF just past Centennial on 130 off Barber Lake Rd. When you turn on Barber Lake there is a u shaped turnaround on your right hand side...

    Montana startup becoming the Airbnb of outdoor recreation

    And you need to get a real job so you have work to do during the day as opposed to fighting with people on social media on the taxpayers clock. That's a waste for everyone involved.

    Montana startup becoming the Airbnb of outdoor recreation

    True. I used to hunt so much 15 years ago. In Nebraska there were deer everywhere on public, and I mean some quality WT and Muleys. Last time I was there 3 years ago we hunted for 3 days in my usual spots where we should have seen 100's of deer. We saw a few does looking over thousands of...

    Montana startup becoming the Airbnb of outdoor recreation

    So basically everyone wants the government to provide them with land and hunting opportunities (elk,deer,antelope,etc) for free. Some of those are willing to pay more $ to reduce competition and increase hunting opportunities on private. Then people get mad if someone does not agree with...

    Conspiracy against gun hunters in America?

    USFS grazing and timber

    Its' mind-blowing how much money these people squander with something that should have value. 2 billion loss for taxpayers selling wood each year. Though some of you might find it interesting to see the #'s behind some of these projects and overall costs to the taxpayers. In addition...
