There is and has been a massive poaching problem in the Trout Creek area. Its an extremely remote area and hard to enforce because of this. Further the ranching family that policed the main access has sold their place to a non-profit that implied they wanted them to stick around as care takers...
I have done a lot of FERC projects on public land agree that BLM is much much easier than forest service for the environmental review. I will never forget my first project when like 1000 non profit environmental/legal groups requested the "right to sue" during the public comment period. I...
Congress especially the house hasn't done much in a decade or more. The average house member might get a stop sign put in or taken out or name a park bench during their two years of "work". They mostly just hide under a rock so they don't offend anyone and can keep on getting reelected..
If it fits get a side x side. Avoid the belt driven ones and get one with a real transmission. Everyone I know who owns one with a belt ends up getting sick of replacing them and ends up selling it or stops using it. I don't even own one and I am sick of hearing about how crappy the belts are.
Like Jags said make sure when you insulate that it is thick enough prevent cold condensation on the back side. For spray foam you are talking 3" plus. Especially important if you are in the more humid part of Washington. If you are only going to use it for a few days a year and the back side...
If you want land to hunt on and or help you draw tags on out west make sure you have enough acres to meet the state minimums and I would try and double that because the minimum acres of land required only seems to be going up. If you have to go in with a partnership with friends to purchase it...
For what it is worth when I started my 10 year old shooting I mixed in plenty of pcp air gun shots with rifle shots. He shot an average weight 223 and 11 lb+ plus 6.5 creed. For hunting he picked the 11lb, 6.5 creed which was his favorite to shoot. It had 8-9 ft lbs of recoil. He definitely...

And this was done to burn points and has caused many people to cash in their points so they could get to hunt units that were previously OTC. And in Wyoming the fish and game wanted to go to a bonus point system......
Every state that has made a change to the point system has put a larger percentage of tags in the random pool and less tags allocated to those with the most points....
The point systems in Nevada and Arizona are sustainable and will stick around. The ones like Utah and Oregon systems where the majority of tags go to people with max points are not going last. Most people who start collecting points at 18 do not want to wait until they are 60, 70 or beyond to...
