The Governor, the Wolf and the Warden: A Fresh Look at a Gianforte Hunt
The problem, with few exceptions (Rand Paul comes to mind for me, but you may have your own favs), folks smart enough to do a good job in political office are smart enough not to run. Unless you're crooked, i.e. insider trading, there's no real money in it, and constant bickering from the other...- longbow51

A little humour for your day
So, really, what is pegging your jeans? I suspect it's rolling up the cuffs a bit; if so, guilty. -
Anyone else been kicked off rocks lied?
Steve Davis assured me I could shoot deer with my .204 Rugers; Dakota Varminter for me, for my wife, .204 Sako 85. And, pretty sure we could. Friend of mine, real John Wayne, our MT hunting mentor, began working in the Oregon logging woods at 16, shot a bear that was bothering his horses...- longbow51

Fishery vs. wildlife
I was on a task force to address river crowding way back when Racicot was Governor. In the end, money won; guides, hotels, etc. Through many administrations D and R, nothing has changed. To likely misquote Abbey from memory, but get the gist correct, "deaf to thunderstorms in the mountains... -
Remembering those who served.
I'll add one more thing. As a trumpet player, the VFW guys always called us to play TAPS at various cemeteries throughout the day, one primary, and one to provide the echo from a distance, unseen. We didn't jump to volunteer, not because we weren't patriotic, but because the guys that were...- longbow51

Looking for 300 H&H brass
I've gotten Norma from these folks before; looks like they have only Hornady now. https://coastalfirearmshop.com/product/hornady-brass-300-hh-magnum-box-of-50/ Sorry, I checked, and this is not from whom I ordered. They don't look legit.- longbow51

Remembering those who served.
For Jerry Wayne Stanberry, one year ahead of me in HS. 137# Safety. Destroyed every receiver he faced. Visited us after Marine boot camp, said it was cake after two-a-days in August. Dead one year later in Vietnam. We all went to his funeral en mass. My SIL has lost many battle buddies in...- longbow51

Minnesota's Proposed "Assault Weapon" Bans (2024)
We need to pick our battles more wisely. Not everything is a slippery slope; bump stocks, for example. Friend of mine who is kind of a nut with tinkering with everything bought one; horribly inaccurate, just a waste of ammo. Same with straw purchases and binary triggers. Fight the battles... -
Suck for these people.
And, lest we forget (or not know), one of the key folks who travelled there and got them out was...John Fetterman. A year ago he couldn't complete a sentence.- longbow51

Neck shots.
I killed a few deer with neck shots but then discovered neck roasts. Should have figured it out earlier as turkey neck is my favorite part of the bird.
