Proposed Dolores Canyons National Monument
That's very interesting. Lots to think about as to what is expressed in those results, and why. Thanks for posting @Oak.- Big Fin

Cats Aren't Trophies
Dang, this thread has devolved into what the opponents of hunting and wildlife management would hope. Pick off the Colorado and Washington hunters, first. Then Nevada hunters (yes, they’re already trying to reform the NV commission statutes). Then (insert vulnerable state here). As a student... -
Montana General Season Structure Proposal
What is becoming obvious in the short time this proposal has been put out for discussion is how hard change is to implement. And that difficulty is why I give a ton of credit to the people committing their time and effort to this cause, whatever is the final product. It takes a lot of gumption... -
Montana General Season Structure Proposal
🙋♂️ Count me in as one of those, for many reasons. -
Montana General Season Structure Proposal
This represents a ton of work from a lot of people. I'm grateful for their work. This is not easy to plow through. When I look at how much opportunity continues with this proposal and compare it to the current system, I think these proposals are beneficial to deer/elk in Montana, even if it... -
Congratulations to @Big Fin, conservation leader!
Thanks to all of you. Hunt Talk is a large part of the eyes and ears of our platforms. I pick up a lot of information here and have formed some valuable relationships with people who are working their butts off in their respective states. This is a cool recognition that means a lot to me, my...- Big Fin

NM 43 for Deer
Yeah. I’m at MSP, on my way home from two weeks of travel and that stuff gets posted. I don’t have time for that, especially when it is directed at a guy who’s been through the shit Cushman has. Hopefully the guy is a good of a hunter as he is at making implies threats. If so, he’ll kill a... -
2024 BHA Rendezvous in Minneapolis
Dan’s work should be appreciated for anyone drawing a Colorado sheep permit. His words to thank everyone and deflect accolades from himself to others was noted. The act of advocacy is a selfless endeavor and he exemplifies such. Happy to see him recognized. He made a point to tell me of the...- Big Fin

Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024
Agree. Great point. The reality is, we need energy. We aren't going to stop energy development, and it wouldn't be responsible to advocate for no energy. We need to require that these projects accommodate wildlife, even if it adds costs. Without a voice given to wildlife, lowest cost will be...- Big Fin

Solar Energy Comments due April 18, 2024
One of the largest proposals in a long time is open for public comments. It is the proposal to allow large scale solar development in many wildlife-rich areas of the west. The WyoFile folks do a great job of explaining the possible impacts of such in Wyoming. The same can be said for many of...- Big Fin

FILM act
Nobody in LEO has time to watch the videos. They're busy with people cooking meth, illegal logging, motorized trail violations, cabin vandalism, fights in campgrounds, squatters living permanently on USFS, and you name it. This stuff gets pushed way down their priority list. The number of LEO...- Big Fin

FILM act
It's an interesting discussion, for sure. Compliance right now is so low, it's laughable. If this passed, the Feds would likely get more revenue by much higher compliance. But, maybe I'm being a fool to think it would bring the noncompliant folks into the loop. The Feds would no longer incur...- Big Fin

The idea is to raise money to help Block Management Cooperators and show appreciation for their participation in the program. Below is a flyer of their upcoming raffle. Link to that page on their website is...- Big Fin

Its a mad mad world!
Another recent thread that is completely useless for the issues of hunting, conservation, and access. There must be some bored people in world for some of the recent to be worthy of time to discuss on a hunting forum. This one is locked. I'd caution people to start using discretion in their...- Big Fin
