Fresh Tracks Weekly - Conflicted Wildlife Trustees (Commissioners)
I don't mean this to be argumentative. I think your question, perhaps rhetorical, highlights that dynamic well. However, as a thought experiment. I sometimes wonder what value landowners actually bring in the big picture. That sounds worse than I mean it, and let me try and explain. A...- brocksw

Two rifles, One Caliber?
@smalls you can build "clones" that are essentially the same rifle in terms of chamber dimensions. The owner of applied ballistics has done projects like this that he's talked about, and I believe some of the high end competition shooters do similar things. The problem for us regular folks... -

Fishery vs. wildlife
If you read his response to my post, I believe he’s stating that those numbers aren’t straight forward and don’t make that part of the discussion black and white. For example, elk numbers are up significantly. But he stated much of that growth is on private land and/or in the central or... -

Fishery vs. wildlife
That could be. The hunting getting worse could be attributed to a lot of things. I know the family friends we have in SE MT have spoken before about the change in leased acres and the inability to hunt land they've hunted historically because of it. And too me, that's what's caused one of the... -

Fishery vs. wildlife
May I ask what's gotten worse, outside of the politics? Not trying to play "got ya", just trying to understand your perspective and the metric you're using when you say "worse". Please, correct me if I'm wrong on any these long term population trends. Elk - overall numbers are up since 2000... -

Bluewing Teal
In ND we get to hunt these for the beginning portion of the waterfowl season, depending on weather. They are fantastic eating birds if you leave the fat on, its a tasty white fat.
