Arbitrary Hunting Goals
I think about this a lot. It should probably be its own thread. Do you stop when it stops being enjoyable? When you reach your “goal”? When your body can’t do it anymore? I think about the last one every time I put in for the goat tag. At some point that becomes plain stupid.- SAJ-99

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Montana is years behind WY on migration data too. It wasn't until the first positive CWD test that they started putting more collars on deer. When I talked to the bio he literally said "Almost none of the deer migrated to where we thought they would." -

Long Covid?
Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant. If you go to a walk-in your odds of seeing a non-doctor that calls themself doctor is much higher. Hospitals have learned it is a volume game and they can cut costs by hiring quasi-doctors. The first time you go in for an issue, maybe. If you go back...- SAJ-99

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Should also add that I can anecdotally think of times where harvest would matter. I remember reading/hearing somewhere about an early heavy snow pushing elk out of the Bob and it was a turkey shoot on public land WMA. ever since, they has had trouble getting elk to migrate back to that WMA. I... -

This goes back to the main question of if harvest is additive or compensatory. For big game it may be different than for birds. Even for elk it may be different than deer which is different than antelope (see WY winter 22-23 mortality). The short answer to the first question is "you don't care... -

I would say he is clearly wrong about the cost given the amount of states that do them, but might be correct on the data. Hunters overemphasize harvest. I have even complained a little that FWP overemphasizes harvest in their model. Using past harvest to adjust for future harvest is backwards... -

Again, they don't know if they are allowed to charge $30. Like most things in government, they get all the responsibility of collecting data but zero authority to make any changes. My point is when you change the way you collect data, even if it is a better result, it might make things look... -

Have that same thing here in WA. However, in the last Commissioner meeting here in WA the WFWD made a comment that response rates were still only in 60% range and they didn’t know if they could “penalize” people more into responding. I think they charge $10 if you fill it out after the deadline... -

Fixed Index Annuity
True, but term is much cheaper than whole. Again, there is no free lunch. The insurance company doesn’t stay in business long if it doesn’t make money selling these things. Their profit is the amount extra you pay to help you sleep at night.- SAJ-99

Cougar hunting proposal comment period
Change happens when you push for it, and now is the time. The races on both sides of the aisle are close. Send emails to candidates respectfully asking for their position on the commission structure and some of its members willingness to make decisions contrary to the department and other...- SAJ-99

Wyoming's Gold [Solar/Turbine] Rush
Interesting article. I know we worry and debate about BLM, but most of the development is going to be on private due to closer and better transmission infrastructure. Will we still support the keeping family farm in the family for those getting $1000/acre? That is basically corn at $5/bu and...- SAJ-99
