    NO SNOW!!!

    Per NASA: The annual rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 60 years is about 100 times faster than previous natural increases, such as those that occurred at the end of the last ice age 11,000-17,000 years ago.

    NO SNOW!!!

    Well my point is reference is hundreds of thousands of people rely on the snow for their economic survival and so far it’s been a rough start. Also no ducks moving south from Alberta and Montana affects my happiness hahaha!!

    NO SNOW!!!

    I saw the East is getting hit hard with rain but the west is bone dry. Nothing really in forecast either. My buddies that rely on winter snow tourism are getting killed with cancellations!! Could be good for the animals though. I’m kinda itching for something to move the ducks south but all we...

    If you’re goal was to harvest an Antelope if every state that allows non-resident hunting what would be your strategy?

    What weapons are options? All? Idaho is easy to get archery tag, but verrrry long odds to draw a rifle tag.

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    Politicians are only a handful of people. What about all the complaining about the “lazy beurocrats” in city county state and federal government? For example all day long on this site people complain about game and fish being lazy and only in it to fill “their” pockets. That’s one thing that is...

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    Here’s a question - if wages dropped 40% would the force still be full? I think it might be. The point about EMS earning crumbs compared to firefighters is a good one… are EMS underpaid or fire overpaid? Yeah it’s not the same job but the trauma can be similar. Anyway I’ve never worked and...

    Are City Firefighters Overpaid?

    When it comes to total compensation, are municipal firefighters overpaid for the actual work being done? This topic came up at dinner the other night when a family member talked about what seems to be automatic 10-20% compensation (pay and benefits) raises each time a negotiation happens...

    All Time High Stock Market

    Everyone I talk to in the trades is still booked out months and has passed their increased expenses onto the customer with little pushback. Who would have thought that during Covid that giving businesses loans that didn’t have to be paid back would cause inflation!!!

    Idaho Fish & Game In-person Tag Sales Strategy

    I’m a resident and I agree. I also think they should figure out how to sell a tag that is attached to another person. At the very least a youth tag should be guaranteed with every adult tag if the youth has the necessary qualifications… it’s bad enough that friends can hardly get tags together...

    How to get time off work? FMLA help or?

    Ok I’ll answer your question. You could easily make it work if you wanted to create a fairly elaborate set of circumstances regarding some type of mental health issue that requires counseling. You would need to start this as least 3 months prior to the hunt and retain counseling services. You...

    Gear for southwest Idaho?

    Do you have a plan for when the animal is down in terms of packing it out? Does your pack allow expansion or room for meat? Or are you just planning to kinda gut it out? I hunt SW ID and I have a similar size pack but I only use it for scouting. When I am actually hunting I move to a 5500 size...

    Probably Going Crazy, But Looking for Suggestions

    In all honesty you need to man up and sleep in there and if you see then tell it to get the f$&@ out and leave your family alone. You don’t let unwelcomed guests sit in your duck blind with you do you?

    We’re supposed to be getting an inflow of rain starting Sunday. If you are alone make sure you make sound decisions when it comes to muddy / soupy roads. Good luck. I hope you have a great experience.

    Kennetrek Mtn Extreme vs Lowa Tibet GTX Size 16 US

    Nice write up. I would say you are comparing gala apples to honey crisp apples. The equivalent boot to ken mt extreme is the lowa hunter gtx but it sounds like lowa doesn’t carry that size in that boot? I bring this up because the boot I have used for the last decade is the lowa hunter gtx and I...
