    "Land Trust" Experiences

    Grazing permits can be a good deal. About 2% of the US cattle population grazes public land, so that's not a benefit most ranchers have. My point is, it's a tough business, most breakeven or lose money. Ranchers support the bulk of western big game populations, especially seasonally, and are...

    "Land Trust" Experiences

    I get it, but if I were in their shoes, I'd probably do the same thing. I lease rights to an outfitter for exclusive access to the ranch I manage , I primarily hunt public land. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk

    "Land Trust" Experiences

    What subsidy are cattle ranchers getting that you're referring to? I have managed ranches small and large and am very familiar with the economics of cattle ranching. While there are consistently profitable operations out there, they are the exception. Those that are able to leverage...

    "Land Trust" Experiences

    Clearly I don't know the details, but would you rather them charge $6500 for access and be able to keep the ranch or be forced to sell to a developer who has plans to turn it into the next Yellowstone Club? That's the decision facing many ranchers. The habitat loss that the west will likely face...

    "Land Trust" Experiences

    As a lifelong rancher, I fully support any opportunity for those making a living off of a narrow margin business to be able to capitalize on supplemental income from allowing hunting access on land. Without ranchers and the working landscape their ranches offer, the wildlife habitat would be...

    Friend used to hunt pheasant in KS and elk in MT. His feedback to me was positive on both trips. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk

    Experience with Milwaukee m18 chainsaw? And stihl repair

    Big fan of my Milwaukee 16" bar saw. I also have a 14" Dewalt, which is worth less than a paper weight. Matt's Saw Shop in Belgrade has been good for us on old saws with limited parts available. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk

    Best beginner archery hunts for learning

    Antelope is all day action with potential for multiple stalk opportunities throughout day. If I had to pick one, that would be it. OTC elk, you may not see a bull. Muleys, you could hunt all week with one opportunity. Limited entry elk, we'll, I'd suggest learning to call and hunt elk first...

    Carrying a rifle on an ATV

    I used to use a cheap soft case and bought a CaribouGear sleeve to try this year. I just needed something to keep mud and dust controlled when on the front of an atv. Haven't tried it, but I like the concept and the quality seems good. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk
