it was a quintessential colorado mountain merriam jaunt - 9.6 miles, 3,000 feet, like 300-400 elk seen splattered on various private properties, two blue grouse heart attacks, bear shit, illegal sheds, and no audible or visual sign of public land merriams.
honestly an amazing day in the woods.
i woke up in a panic sunday morning having forgotten to purchase or prepare any food for a long day in the woods looking for the elusive mountain merriam.
can confirm to you all the circle k gas station chargrilled cheeseburgers are terrible; rank very high as one of the worst things i've ever...
It’s hard to lose sleep over when losing R support and advocacy is for more damaging. So my concern will remain there.
Quid pro quo advocacy isn’t much in the way advocacy anyway.
i'm not uncoupling them. still hoping for tighter allocations someday.
this is about hunters fighting to maintain their legacy and privilege and it ultimately affects everyone everywhere. if people don't care that much then they don't care that much and that's one thing, but not being able to...
who cares about 90/10 with this stuff.
carole baskin wins it becomes 0/0 and then it dominoes to other states and species

is it a case where 10% of the hunters are causing 90% of the problems? by hunting 3 different states every year...
maybe.
"tons" seems hyperbolic. i'm sure it's minority faction of hunters who anti predator hunting/trapping.
either way, there is a big difference between being a hunter who is not a big fan of predator hunting/trapping and being hunter who is anti predator hunting/trapping.
and most of us...
i bet if hunter numbers double proportionately across the nation tomorrow, meaning each state's number doubled, odds of things like lion hunting bans passing would decrease substantially.
this is why i'm not anti R3.
i've never heard matt address that side of the coin.

i thought Hunt Quietly started out with some decent thoughts and points on problems in the hunting space that needed to be addressed.
it very quickly devolved into a very immature outfit that seems mostly hell bent on running a smear campaign against anyone and everyone.
after having deleted...
yeah, as long as the guns are away for the day, who cares?
but like alcohol in hunting camp i really can't imagine why you'd want to.
sleep is paramount and from what i remember from some books i read research suggests that THC inhibits REM cycles, which means you're not sleeping well. so...
