    Otter Attack!

    I was fishing the Henry’s fork a couple years ago, 4 or 5 otters came by swimming up river. I was surprised by their size, I’d never seen them in the wild before. Wouldn’t want to wrassle one that’s for sure. But about 2 hours later I caught the biggest brown of my life.

    Mental Exercise: Wolves or Cattle?

    I initially thought about wild horses vs. wolves but that’s too easy… and not that I’d ever vote to reintroduce wolves anywhere but if I did I’d say release them in those wild horse stricken areas first.

    Any volunteers to take Dos’ kids to practice so he can resume doing the lord’s work? I’ll drop a goat off on his front lawn to take care of the grass.

    GPS watch recommendation?

    I had the same experience with my original instinct. I have the instinct 2 Solar now and it usually connects within 5 seconds. I will say my battery life was better on the original. I’m not sold on the solar feature though they supposedly upgraded the solar charging surface area on the newest...

    Plant ID app for smart phones

    Seek is built into iPhone iOS. No need for the app, just take a photo of the plant and tap the i icon when the little stars appear on it. I use it all the time.

    Mental Exercise: Wolves or Cattle?

    Good point and that’s another thing to consider. Did they have a similar impact to todays cattle? There were certainly enough of them to do some damage, maybe the herds roamed enough that the ecosystem recovered between herd visits? We know that overgrazing can be pretty damaging, but did...

    Mental Exercise: Wolves or Cattle?

    You’re right, roadways, houses, cabins etc are all examples of impact on wildlife, personally I’d argue a much larger impact than wolves. But that’s off topic of the scenario I suggested, and i suggested it only because it made me think. If I had to trade cattle and their impact for wolves would...

    Mental Exercise: Wolves or Cattle?

    Oversimplifying this but If you had the ability to hunt what was the undisturbed United States, or at least as close as you could get to what was the landscape before we spread all over it would you?

    Mental Exercise: Wolves or Cattle?

    I recently read a book that speculated about how arroyos and drainages have multiplied since human expansion in the west, due to grazing, excessive erosion from lack of grasses and ultimately ground water disappearing. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but that’s playing a part in my thoughts...

    Mental Exercise: Wolves or Cattle?

    But that’s the thing, no one alive today remembers hunting an area that had never been grazed at one point in time. That’s why I think this isn’t cut and dry and is interesting to consider.

    Mental Exercise: Wolves or Cattle?

    Saw a post on another forum and it got me thinking. For the sake of this discussion let’s say one scenario is exclusive of the other ie. choosing wolves over cattle means that cattle never have and never will be there. There’s two sides to this coin. Heads: Public lands are open to cattle...
