Colorado Announces Plans to Release “30 to 50” Gray Wolves Along the State’s Western Slope
Sad....but, these folks that support this are in it for the long-game. Baby-steps. I have a long-term conspiracy theory that this falls directly into but, I'll leave that out of this thread.- widnert

Having a good dog
I totally understand and especially like your description of Oby. We had a rescue picked up from the local shelter ourselves. Registered chocolate lab that seemed to have a strange upbringing. Unsocialized with other dogs but knew many tricks. After she had 5 re-homings and subsequent returns to...- widnert

A Great Montana Steakhouse
The Oasis in Manhattan is currently closed. Owners sold to one guy who apparently sold again in less than a month. No idea what is going on with this place. Was a great steak years ago. Adding the Sac Bar in the basement of the Sacajawea Hotel in Three Forks. Had their steaks Friday night and... -
Archery Tech Advice Sought
Same as the rest have said - string torque and lateral travel come into play with modern compounds bows when using fingers rather than a release. To add one more point to this also, with the string torque will also come the risk of de-railing the string from the cam(s) and causing a... -

Tell me about Great Falls, MT
I was going to say Havre. Three Forks is still trying to spit-shine their not-so-new pickup so the "other pretty girl" in the room will notice them.- widnert

Biden BLM appointee
Sad really. Proven that she was involved in reprehensible acts that could have seriously harmed or even killed folks and gets confirmed as director of a federal agency. Other people call someone a bad name and are shamed out of a job or worse. Really disappointed.- widnert

How are the crowds out there in the woods?
Agreed. My usual area was over-run last year for all of Archery and rifle season. This year, I saw one rig camped and only encountered a single other hunter hiking through. Much more normal.- widnert

Being a Man in the Modern World
Well, every single old-time rancher I know does eat well-done steaks. Every last grizzled one of them. Maybe its because they know all the stuff those cattle are injected with over the course of their lifetime? I don't know.....- widnert

Are overran National Parks a glimpse of the future of all our public lands?
I was contemplating this topic earlier today, after reading that the gub'ment is finally going to allow the additional unemployment benefits to expire, along with the anti-eviction stuff. If you're capable of working, get 'yer butt out and get a job! That is, you want a roof over your head and...- widnert

Biden BLM appointee
I believe I'll trust the Forest Service Investigator as opposed to an admitted criminal. She should be given the boot and Tester should apologize to all of us for his poor background checks when employing her.- widnert

Long draw length and Bear species LD
If you're willing to get another opinion, take a drive over to Bozeman. Check out Big Sky Archery in Four Corners (just west of town) and spend some time there. One of the best archery shops I've ever been in. They should be able to get you sorted out and, they have several used bows there... -
Progressive eyeglass users?
Driving was the worst thing for me when I tried progressives. I got severe vertigo. Walking was only slightly better. I ended up getting trifocals instead. Got the reading lens, a mid-range to see the dash when driving and then my distance lenses. I only really wear them at night though -...- widnert

Loving it to death
What's funny here is that is not even a fishing access site pictured in that article. It's the parking lot at the base of the college "M" trail just outside town. It has nothing to do with fishing. Just an easy to access hiking trail that every tourist and college kid that comes to town uses...- widnert

New archery hunter ?'s
And to weigh in on the above good comments, if you are new to archery, you really do need to go to a reputable bow shop and get the basics down. Any reputable shop will have quality used bows on-hand which you can try right there before buying. Also, if you've not been measured for your draw...
