I just finished the Steve Martin documentary. I was just curious on others opinions of either the doc or Steve Martin in general.
I went in to the thing thinking he didn’t rank high on my list as a comic, actor, musician, etc. You know, maybe a 7/10. Then I came out thinking Holy Shit! The guy...
Hunt tag demand
Shortage of workers
Wage inflation
Poor service quality (experienced trains new worker)
Deficits (remember, we tax wages)
I’m sure there are more. I would think this goes back toward long term normal at some point, but it looks very sticky so far.
A good topic for discussion. I can see some positives and negatives. Maybe someone in the area that has seen the work can give some insight.

I try not to post things in haste, but this idea seems to have gained traction on both sides lately. A couple of links below for those that want to dive deeper (The Bloomberg Opinion might have paywall, although I tried gift it). I generally think this is a bad idea.
In summary, one side wants...
Idaho will again set the pace for tag allocation screwups. Good luck everyone.

Wasn't sure where to post this. Just a PSA in case anyone owns a Fortess Safe.

Thought it best to make another thread as to not destroy @Elky Welky post.

For those that geek out on this stuff, you might want to check out the Cutting The Distance podcast #42 with Jason Phelps and BYU bio-faculty Brock McMillan. Lots of good data from studies being conducted in the state.

WFWD is seeking public comments on the new conservation policy. RMEF has some issues with the word 'preservation', but we should all send input if you can. I recommend keeping your comments respectful and highlighting the importance sportsmen and women have played in conservation over the last...
I’ve had these for year and they don’t fit, and it doesn’t seem I’m going to grow into them. They are about 8yrs old but have only been worn maybe twice. Just cleaning out the closet. PM me if the size works.
I can see this as both useful and terribly disconcerting.

Hank's email was so warm and fuzzy just want to give him a hug and say thanks (for doing nothing). The link is attached. The item I was most focused on was pick a season/weapon. The comments are pure gold, but explain a lot of the headwinds facing the CAG. Hat-tip to the group for trying.

Interesting chart on the inflation of various components over the last 20+ years. Ties in with @VikingsGuy thread on student loan relief. You can argue almost anything that fits your belief. The highest inflation is in those items that have a heavy government subsidy. But also those things that...
I like their backgrounds, but don't know much other than what I read here. Any other views?

Let’s lighten it up a little. It seems the off-season has some people looking for a fight. What is a “valuable” piece of hunting equipment you carry on ever hunt that is under $100?
The price limit should exclude answers like “my gun”, or whatever. And with inflation you can go a little ways...
I found this interesting. It's a few years old, but still applicable. This little fact seems to apply to a lot of things:
Hunting - see @HuntTalk Freak 's first-elk-hunt thread
Mule Deer discussions -any and all of them
Politics
The Market and economy
For some, the Holidays
For others, an every...
Interesting findings...
Since 2013, WDFW staff have documented at least four collared wolves being killed by cougars. That’s more than has been documented in the entire Northern Rocky Mountains in twice as much time, despite that being a much larger area with many more wolves than Washington...
