Like I said, I hear and see lots of people that hunt and fish every year that appear to be unfamiliar with both.
If you fish and hunt once a year probably not going to be real polished.

Always interesting how people blindly believe what they want, irregardless of the facts.
As I said earlier, hes tied closely to ag interests and its hard to find evidence that his actions have helped hunted species in the ag dominated portion of our state.

I prefer Walz to be the governor of Minnesota, over VP of the country. I hear he plans on running for a 3rd term. Minnesota doesn't have term limits?

I'd look about the same as Walz if I was handling such a clumsy, ugly shotgun. Looks like a semi auto with a very high rib, and something hanging outside the muzzle. Poor bastard, somebody should get him a good gun.
On the plus side, I did not hear that he shot somebody. That's a step up from a previous vice president.

Walz is about as much of a hunter as most of the posters in this thread are fans of Mike Lee.
The wolf intro is supported and funded by the same $$$$ and people that are in favor of a lot of other $h!+burgers for public land hunters and conservation. Hopefully an adult in the room steps up and leads in the right direction through these issues.

I don't see a whole lot of problem with the way they're leading the wolf issues over here. I think minnesota has well proven that wolves are not the end of the world.

Why is it that you two played the trump card when someone mentions “adult in the room”?

Grew up in farm country Nebraska, hunted a fair amount then. Probably fair to say he's rusty, 24 years in the service doesn't leave much time to hone your skills. Although he shot when in congress and took over the lead as best shooter there in an annual shoot.
Gotta wonder how many people have tried to clear a jam or unload in the gun he has. It's a bit tricky, as it is in most autos. False reports claiming he was loading his gun, it was the reverse.
I will say this, I was sure glad he was our governor during covid. Kept us informed and used and listened to experts.
The guy republicans found to run against him in the last election--and he's running again--was a massive Covid denier. Claimed mortality rates were made up! His claim to fame though is his promoting the wildly hilarious and false view that schools were creating kitty litter boxes for students. No I am not making that up--bat sheet crazy folks picked to lead the republican party here!
Back on the the main topic. His lieutenant governor is a band member (white earth, I think). Most NA bands here revere the wolf and do not want to see them hunted. He went along with that for awhile in his first term, but eventually listened to his DNR experts and others, and changed his mind. This created a bit of a rift with his lieutenant governor, she's running for congress now I believe.
I can't say he would go so far as some livestock and a few hunting groups want--which is an aggressive harvest right after they are de-listed. Doing that in WI was a huge factor in keeping them listed, those folks just can't help themselves and refuse to acknowledge they do more to hurt the prospects of delisting than help.
We could easily accomodate a harvest that is more controlled than WI had. That option is built into the states wolf plan in fact, which kicks in as soon as they are delisted.
My long held take is taking a year or so then easing into it is the way to go. Positive that would prevent any successful return to the courts and listing. More aggressive raises that risk and wouldn't do what those who want it think it would anyway. Wolves are still going to take some livestock, and deer populations won't be affected much if at all. Where they are down in this state the problem is winters and loss of habitat primarily--but like a lot of things it gets more complex than many want it to be.

You seem proud to have him as your leader. I am disappointed that my tax $$ is funding Somalian terrorists under his watch.
Back to the point of this thread. Hopefully someone steps forward and straightens out this mess with the wolves. At this point does it matter if it is an individual from congress, congress as a whole, the president? Hopefully someone has the good sense to make a move in the right direction and make it stick.

Well, I didn't realize I was playing a card, but, when it comes to adults, well what can I say?Why is it that you two played the trump card when someone mentions “adult in the room”?

No I badly want a true fiscal conservative who's good on conservation and doesn't resist any new measures that have a chance to work and help the state. He was and I think at the core still is too moderate for his own party--but he's sure botched a lot of things.
He's similar to a past republican governor we had, Tim Pawlenty. He had real promise IMO but was more moderate than his party. Went extreme to get out of the primary and sent the state into debt in a big way.
Like I said earlier, I think people can live with mistakes owned up to and fixed. He like Pawlenty before him has done a poor job on both accounts there.
Problem is there is no such thing as fiscal conservative who is good on conservation and is open to progressive ideas that actually work.
It’s been silly talk for a couple pages. RelaxWhy is it that you two played the trump card when someone mentions “adult in the room”?

…24 years of one weekend a month and 2 weeks a year. So in reality a hair over 3 years of total time. To continue to say Walz served the nation for 24 years is more of an embellishment than he would probably give himself credit for, which is hard to believe.That’s 317 days a year for 24 years he could have honed his skills out of 365. The guy is an embarrassment in every sense of the word.

The experts who said it came from a wet market? That masks and social distancing would protect you? That the vaccine would prevent spread? That young people needed the vaccine cause they were also at great risk? That the vaccine was 100% safe? The experts were so full of s**t they could've been an outhouse.

I hate that these seem to inevitably become R vs D arguments. I am not a hater of CPW, but the wolf reintroduction is a shit show, not completely the depts fault. Something needs to mix things up, totally scrapping the entire plan seems to be the best plan at this point. Wyoming wolves are coming, let's just let it happen the natural way.

I think there is a good reason for not letting it happen the natural way. That was done very deliberately in Yellowstone when natural recolonization was inevitable anyway. I am not sure if it pertains to colorado, however.
As for the politicalization of wolves, I think it would be a wonderful subject for a political science or social science doctorate dissertation. Albeit, I do not know what qualifies for doctoral work in those fields, but I do think it would be interesting, and maybe somebody already did it.
