Leupold VX-2 4-12
That was a steal. VX-2's were a Leupy sweet spot if you ask me. I own two of them in LR Duplex that I will never get rid of.- Justabirdwatcher

Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics
I know many who are. I'll have 36 years in soon and IMO that's long enough. Time to go fishing and hunting and if the opportunity to contribute in other ways presents itself, I will consider it. But I'm proud of my body of work over those years and will leave with zero regrets. Someone once...- Justabirdwatcher

Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics
As a 30+ year supervisor, I can tell you that most agencies have it in their policy when an employee's lunch can be taken and that doesn't include the hours of 3-4 pm. Nor are they technically allowed to combine the two 15-minute breaks they get, or add them to their lunch time. Again...- Justabirdwatcher

Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics
If you still have 8 years to go until you're eligible, then you're way too young to be ragging on "kids who need instructions." Leave that to the boomers. They perfected that art. I'm so glad I don't have 8 years. Not even 8 months. Still going above and beyond though because the resource...- Justabirdwatcher

Changes to ESA rules
I'm still without words on this one. Why on God's green earth do people think most endangered species are endangered? Because they are being shot or run over? Once again, this admin is treating the public like they are stupid. ESA has gotten in the way of developers for far too long in their...- Justabirdwatcher

"They’ve opened Pandora’s Box here" - Oregon lawsuit and the Congressional Review Act
"Using this new interpretation, Republicans in the past two years have revoked plans that restricted mining and oil production on federal lands in Alaska, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming.

Trump Rescinds Ban on OHV use on Public Lands
So, let's talk about enforcement capability for a minute... EO's like this create an expectation that will have to be dealt with by an already overtaxed workforce that has had dozens of new and unnecessary rules/actions thrust upon them. If the strategy is to swamp federal lands with new rules...- Justabirdwatcher
