    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    So, make it legal to murder unborn babies at will but don't kill mountain lions? How civilized.

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    Could have grabbed a calf elf's leg as he walked by but I'd wrestled enough calves as a kid I knew better. Had a big horned owl land about 3 feet away in my tree on a branch eye level and just behind the trunk. I slowly worked a hand around the trunk and wiggled my finger. His head snapped...

    Newsom signs bill banning single-use propane cylinders popular with campers

    I know many here in MT. We are a like a "sanctuary state" for them. Only two that I know are actually supporters of freedom. The rest claim the "conservative" mantle but in reality they only moved because they disliked some of their former state's liberal politics. Many, in fact most, of the...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    It would be interesting to know how many shots fall out of the "margin of error" with heavier recoiling rifles. I betting more than 1/10.

    Moose Creek, Mt... murder?

    Too bad the people on parole boards aren't held accountable. Or anyone from government.

    Moose Creek, Mt... murder?

    Most likely. That the report didn't mention priors made me suspicious. I believe if you do the "Ancestry" thing that's given to LE Probably blood donors. I don't know how else.

    Moose Creek, Mt... murder?

    Springer said detectives were led to Abbey from a DNA match with a sample taken from a beer can in Kjersem's tent I wonder why/how they had the murderer's DNA in the first place.

    Lost horse - Idaho

    I knew a guy who borrowed a horse , brought him out to Montana from Wisconsin. Lost horse, saddle, rifle. Was never found, at least not reported found. I suspect, since it didn't have mountain experience, it got itself hung up in some nasty stuff and dies. Had to be a bit uncomfortable...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    Yes. Due to this post : I'd hate to see either unfettered government or capitalism. I think "fettered" (restricted) capitalism is not capitalism. Call it "free exchange". You offer something I desire, we agree on an exchange be it money, labor, whatever, we make the deal. Adding government or...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    We've seen what unfettered government does. (Mandatory equipment and features that many people don't want but are forced to pay for driving all vehicle costs up) I gave an example of unfettered capitalism which you stated you you'd hate to see which if applied to used vehicles would...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    If I want to trade a day's work to my neighbor for $100 why does that exchange require anyone else's ( government) participation? What is wrong or bad about that?

    Different bullets for cow elk

    I grew up shooting slugs out of a a 12 ga double bbl ithaca starting at 12 years old. I doubt it weighs 6 pounds. I shot a 7mm wby mag and 300 win mag until a couple years ago when I was introduced to the 223. I turn 69 in a week. I'm not at all afraid of recoil. The proven fact is everyone...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    Admitting you're the problem is the first step. Good for you. LOL ;) Back up cameras and hands free phone do not need to be part of the standard package that drives up the cost for those who don't want that stuff. And it's added for many times the cost of what aftermarket supplies it for and is...
