Western states were once underwater. Would a shark not be exotic to the modern ecosystem? Unless wild horse are currently part of the local ecosystem, they are exotic to it.
Exhaust gases dissipate fairly quickly. However, that doesn’t change that they’re a pollutant. Yes horse s**t is a...
There are 2 type of people in this world. Those who follow rules solely for the sake of following rules then lose their minds when someone questions them. Then there are those of us who see stupid rules for what they are, stupid rules. Then when we try to reasonably correct the problem we run...
Horses are obnoxious and pollute the trails and campsites with piles of s**t everywhere. They're an exotic species to 99% of hunting area that should be banned.
After reading this thread I can only assume that any fat idiot from the west can take a horse and pollute the trails.
Look I don't...
Not at all! It was a great learning experience and I look forward to going back next year.
It amazes me how entitled some residents are here on this forum. Heaven forbid someone show up with a different point of view or point out where people have used the system to give themselves an...
Replace side by side with horses and your statement is equally true.
It is a big leap. Everything else is fair. If horses aren't native to the area they should be banned too.
Cool, lets keep it wild. No bikes, no horses, no mules, no motors.
I'm not sure who told you as a resident of the state you're special and more entitled to federal lands than any other American, but they lied to you.
No, there are areas and trails that are to small for a UTVs, but a horse can traverse no problem. I take no issue with this inherent benefit of a horse. My issue is when a trail restricts UTVs arbitrarily, particularly when it allows UTVs anytime of the year other than hunting season. All while...
Just because they view it that way doesn't mean they're right.
Additionally, if we assume they are correct (and I do strongly prefer the states manage this resource) it doesn't mean that the states can't abuse it. Maybe there should be limits and checks on this power?
If a trail is going to ban the use of atvs/utvs then the use of horses and mules should be banned as well. I said what I said.
I hunted the South Piney region of the Bridger National Forest this last month. Due to the unusually warm weather (as I was told by locals), the elk were at very high...
It's a shared right to a shared resource. Whether its a federal or state resource that governing body is responsible for regulating it in a manner that the most number of people get the most use of it.
This isn't private land. It's land every American has equal right to. I'll say it again, we're talking about land every American has equal right to.
Well I wasn't going to, but when you put it like that I'm in!
There is nothing inherently immoral about breaking a law or noble about following...
Whenever I go to the range to do load development, I'll fire some known factory ammo or other previously measured ammo to get a baseline on my chrono for the day. I've had days where my chrono was just off for whatever reason that day and the factory ammo was a clear indicator.
I disagree with your assertion here, but I'm no legal scholar. As I understand this ruling was in absence of legislation to directly address the issue? And the courts as a rule defer to the legislature's "authority" to regulate. That's why I think legislation could change this.
I didn't suggest...
I visited WY for an Elk hunt for the first time this year. Without exception every resident I interacted with were great people, I'd love to live amongst. Many even expressed that they understood NRs were getting screwed in the current system. I apologize, that isn't entirely true, there was a...
I plan to and I appreciate that. If I could talk my hunting buddy into it I'd drive back out for the last week.
Next year I think we'll try a unit in the south region, preferably high desert.
I don't like that people on this forum think they're entitled to control my information. I gathered this information the hard way, I earned it, and whether I want to share it or keep it to myself is my decision.
I get that. My critiques on the unit isn't a result of us not filling a tag it was...
Honest question. When was the last time y'all asked yourselves should it be part of western hunting? With the money coming in from nonresident hunters you should be able to set up programs to remove the deadfall to some degree and bring in vegetation that would facilitate a better ecosystem with...
