New BF Good rich KO3
They look cool, but there are also so many good options out there nowadays. Falken Wildpeak, Toyo ATIII, Cooper Discoverer, etc. I'm using the Toyo ATIII right now and really like them. Not the best at any one thing, but quite good for everything and I deal with pretty much everything fairly...- nrpate05

Wyoming's Gold [Solar/Turbine] Rush
Agreed, although I did a quick review and it is possible but extremely unlikely. Only Alternative 1, which is the extreme pro development alternative, has 'no slope-based exclusion'. I don't see this administration choosing this alternative.- nrpate05

Wyoming's Gold [Solar/Turbine] Rush
According to the BLM, Wyoming will likely see about 27k acres of public land renewable development through 2045. I had a call with a BLM official leading the Solar Plan process and emphatically expressed that the agency should be very selective in where they site solar projects. He seemed...- nrpate05

Kennedy 24?
Eh he seems OK, but I honestly don't think I could listen to him talk for 4 years. Maybe that is insensitive of me. I'm realizing that the vast majority of politicians don't really care about the people they represent. They are really in it for themselves. Maybe RFK is different, but maybe not.- nrpate05

Safari Club International supports WEST Act to withdraw Public land rule
I think the BLM took out the "conservation leasing" part in the final rule. They renamed it mitigation or compensatory leasing I think. I haven't read the rule in detail but it seems like these would ultimately be good things. They also honor valid existing rights and don't necessarily exclude...- nrpate05

We're also producing more oil than we ever have. Maybe the liberal democrats are the real pro energy independence folks...- nrpate05

Good and bad days at the range
I can relate to this. I think it is because when shooting iron sights I don't expect to be super precise. If I can shoot a softballish group from field positions at 100 or so yards with my muzzleloader I call that a success. It always seems much more casual for some reason. When I'm shooting my...- nrpate05

2024 Tacoma Camper Options?
I had a 4WC on a 2017 Chevy Colorado and then a 22 Ram 1500. I really think any full truck bed camper should be reserved for a 3/4 ton or greater. Mine was bare bones and still weighed a just shy of 1000 pounds dry. You have to at minimum install airbags to retain any sort of confidence when...- nrpate05

Israel and iran...
Of course it will! There are plenty of congress people who have been just waiting for an opportunity to bulldoze Iran. Doesn't hurt that a bunch of them get rich(er) off the deal. Biden essentially said in a recent OpEd that we should pass military aid because it is good for the economy. We got...- nrpate05

Platte river issues
I wonder if any studies have been done elsewhere. Obviously this is a popular location but there are dozens of trout streams that get hammered by catch and release guys. I guess the North Platte is different from many in that it can be fished year round. I've typically been a catch and release...- nrpate05

New Christensen Evoke
Looks pretty neat, a little new age for my liking but cool nonetheless. I've come to like my Mesa. Interesting that all of the barrel lengths are 22" or less even for the PRC and magnum cartridges.
