Nat Geo Greater Yellowstone Eco System Elk
I haven't posted in a long time for various reasons but felt perhaps some other perspectives offered here might have some value. I most certainly do not attempt to offer any level of "rock solid.... cast in stone ... absolute knowledge" to this discussion. Just my points of view. I do feel that...- Old Ranger

Yeti coolers...?
Hmmmm?? All very interesting..... Coolers seem to be getting like outdoor hunting boots. Lots of choices and certainly experiences and situations that warrant one very heavily over the other amongst them all. My wife and I used Colemans for years. We then went to a Yeti and wouldn't have...- Old Ranger

Your Favorite Outdoor Authors?
Charles F. Waterman. 1913-2005 One need not go any farther. IMO. Charlie Waterman was an American Outdoor writer and photographer. He wrote over twenty "Outdoor" books during his lifetime.

Spending Bill and The Forest Service
Soooo... What is your definition of "improved consistency"? DOI and USDA Budget allocations in non-Fire Suppression Resource Mgt. areas to the BLM and USFS have been smaller "consistently" through the past four Administrations.

Age and Hunting Dreams
As we get older ad look back on our journeys the understanding that life is a very precious thing resonates more and more. I am 62. I grew up in a wonderful period as a young boy in Livingston. At this time in my life I can't go as hard and far as I once did as a young guy. But I still keep...- Old Ranger

WY Grizzly season proposal...
I certainly assume that a great deal of thought and planning along with vigorous analysis of existing population information has all come together with the development of this plan and proposal.

Stove options
My thought like some others above would offer that you should plan to enjoy the best of both worlds. Especially if you are going to be setting up your camps from what you have hauled in with your truck. No long pack trip with horses or other means. Wood Stoves of the right size and ability to...- Old Ranger
