    How bad do you think its going to get?

    The world does what the world does. None of us can control world events, so why worry? Just keep the powder dry and be in control of your own, you'll be fine.

    Just be you and love your kids. They'll see right through any phony BS you attempt anyway, so just be the real you and never hold back on the love.

    A health revolution brewing?

    All this health advice. Amazing stuff! Yet we all die anyway...

    Montana is #1 (well actually #50)

    Ha! I'll take a sales tax over an income tax any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Honestly, it's a no-brainer. Fortunately, we have the country's best example of that difference between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington.* Oregon has no sales tax, but an income tax. Washington...

    Montana is #1 (well actually #50)

    Indeed. The amount of our income getting gobbled up by federal, state, and local taxes is terrible. No agency "officially" tracks this (why would they want to report on their own greed?), but this estimate showing how total tax burden has changed from 1900 to 2016 is telling: And what are we...

    Montana is #1 (well actually #50)

    All about demand. "Westward ho" is still a thing. And specific location is far more telling than just looking at state averages. For example, last time I checked per-capita income levels between Portland and Seattle (ber fed Bureau of Economic Analysis), people in Seattle were 47% higher than...

    Anyone solo backcountry hunting over the age of 60?

    Age is not the issue. Right attitude is. Either your noggin has it or it don't. With the right attitude far more is possible than your body would have you believe.

    A health revolution brewing?

    Anyone can suffer poor health if they draw the wrong card in life. So be it. Otherwise, is good health really that complicated? The "rules" seem to be pretty simple: -- Only eat real food. Processed or advertised food should be avoided. Always. -- Your body is designed to move. So move the...

    Group issues long range

    First thing I'd check is scope. Much to my personal embarassment I had a very similar situation to the OP's. Turned out the scope was not installed properly. That's after I'd installed probably 40+ scopes without a single hiccup, but physics don't lie. I wasted two boxes of 300 PRC before I...

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    Can I make that claim against the federal government? Please?

    “Powered” pants: take 30 lbs of load off your body

    Great idea for those who have disability issues. Otherwise, the only word that comes to mind is: lazy.

    Which rifle for black bear?

    Blacks can be tough -- rarely -- but will typically go down with hunting rounds like 300WM and 270 (and good shot placement). On the other hand, you indicated the environement is heavy brush, so personally I'd suggest investing in a 358Win or similar if this will be the kind of hunting you plan...

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    Yes, almost seems non-intuitive, but typically it's those mamas with cubs. Honestly, I can't say whether the same stats still hold true today since I read that some years ago and it surprised me when I read it, thus it stuck in my head. I also remember the same article said that Japan had the...

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    Yes. However, more people are killed by blacks than by grizzlies for the simple reason there are far more human-bear encounters involving blacks, not that blacks are more aggressive.

    Dishonest taxidermist

    Lots of negative in this thread. All that negative reflects a lot of reality. I feel for every one of you who got screwed by a bad taxidermist that chose to be an unethical low-life. However... Perhaps this thread is an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of rcb2000 above and share the...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Couple that got on my nerves. One was middle of the day, wasn't expecting much, just sitting with my back to a tree after deer no-show through the morning. No wind to speak of, enjoying the sunshine. All of a sudden a monster fir tree over 100 feet tall around 25 yards behind my position...

    GOOD for Idaho! An honorable hunter not penalized for being honorable. Like it.

    Have you moved out of state?

    It's ironic how for some COVID destroyed work lives and for others it was the boon of a lifetime. I was lucky to be in the latter category.
