Not exactly on the Chief Joseph Hwy or Bear Tooth Hwy but an area with lots of nooks and crannies around some of the coal mine heads for self contained over nights is Bear Creek, MT which is on the...

I never met Pete but please accept my condolences to you and his family on his passing. Pete sounds like he was a great person and it unfortunate he died so young.

Nicely done! There is an infinite difference between catching a first fish and first fishing trip.

Who doesn't enjoy camping for a few days with these folks? Lots of drama and most of your stuff is missing.

Harry's Island being shared with Scouts is awesome. Nice of Harry to share his little slice of the world with those who are coming up in the world and willing to paddle canoes with their gear to...

Congratulations Harry on the new addition to your Northern WI Navy! With all these Stealtheads out on the water it is going to be even harder for us wader and bank fisherman.

Any thoughts about going into IT support or computer repair? Big Bad Ass Computer Repair has a nice ring to it. I have owned a few laptops a few .40 rounds would have improved.

To chick some big egos that is a small price for Baby Bear immortality. Getting a a new rattle and funky suspension happens on the gravel roads.

The milf mobile also killed some man-egos in those Tundras as they choked on your dust in confused disbelief.

Can you get a referral from your MD? Typically a referral moves you up the list to a couple of weeks versus months. If given a choice select the doctor with the smallest diameter fingers.

Sure, long guns 30 caliber and over at 150 yards telescopic or open sights. If you show up with a 45-70 lever gun and hit anywhere on the hillside you automatically win the Fudd gun category.

Best shot gets the first slice?

Quoted for truth. Caution though if you write or say that phrase too many times you get labeled a geezer.

How about a zoom meeting for those who can't be in Jackson to dine with you today?

Second person gored by a bison in three days in Yellowstone NP. The odd even license plate schema doesn't seem to matter to bison. Good thing WRG is planning a fishing trip with his relatives...

What fly/streamer are you using to catch monster snake-sculpin?

If byates operates a skidsteer the way he cooks food, Bunion will be working with a master.

Damn that is the widest rainbow I have seen, apologies for fat shaming.

Twist drill bits need to be harder than the material you are trying to drill into. This seems obvious until trying to drill holes into tool steel or another hard material with a HHS drill bit. M-42...

in saltwater anything swimming the size of SFB's dog it was cockpit harpoon time if it was a keeper or snap the hook out with a gaff or cut the line if it was a throw back. That net looked like the...

Awesome fish Harry! Your photo essay on your muskellunge safari is excellent, thanks for sharing how you caught the "big one."

You are absolutely correct and use a great example of market forces. Blixeth and Dolen were two local developers that thought they knew better riding a local development boom before market forces...

Great pictures Swimmy, but did you give away a fishing secret? I have heard "match the hatch" many times, but "match the blooms?" May the rivers run clear soon in MT.

Interesting closing statement from Nedved. "Prioritize the best experience" rings hollow based upon the operational performance of the past few seasons.

Our goal is absolutely not to maximize...

In the intermountain west conventional economic rules don't apply especially Big Sky, Blixeth and Dolan taught us that.

The trade off with revenue loss from lack of workers must make it an attractive alternative. Lack of water, lack of labor and lack of affordable housing are three huge issues in Big Sky. I wonder...

I can see BS staying open later in the spring once the proposed gondola is operational for down loading to allow for skiing in the Bowl and possibly a few Andesite snow making trails. Most of the...

Mr Grizzly doesn't care about snow statistics.

A reminder never hurts and who wants to injure bass that are about to be released?

Creo que es cierto, escuchar es más fácil que hablar un idioma extranjero. Lástima que yo estudiase francés en la escuela secundaria en lugar de español. Lentamente estoy aprendiendo español, pero...

Nice crappie! Catching fish is fun and doesn't always have to be trout or carp.

QFT. I had two 90's Jeep Cherokees that the wheels would routinely seize to the hubs (both STL & AL) and the anti-seize applied at change over did the trick.

Looks like an amazing adventure! ¿Qué tan bien hablas Español? Me gusta México y he trabajado y viajado allí muchas veces. Solo he viajado una vez a Jalisco pero fue maravilloso. Espero que puedas...

Where in MX are you planning to race or ride in February 2023?

Festus & Wilma fortunately don't need Feliway, but I have had luck using a similar product.

Fantastic news! Next season should be awesome.

Glad you are thinking about next season already. Having a goal will help with focus during your recovery. Although Big Sky won't be the same without Bunion. A well worded e-mail to Nedley and...

Lots of kitty pictures playing in corrugated boxes in this thread. Do your cats actually play with purpose built "cat toys" other than KQ's bespoke felt cat nippers?

Festus & Wilma like this toy...

Working in CA for a month and a half and the place we are staying has a pond so I brought along a 4 wt fly rod to practice a few casts and a mini fly box just in case. Turns out the pond has...

Fortunately I am also away safely working out of MT until all the snow melts.

Did the banks call your father back when the prime dropped and offer a buy out? Those were the good old days for CDs and a world of hurt for those getting mortgages, for the short term. The...

Is the cat driving the car? Bonus points if the vehicle isn't a self driving Tesla.

Ol' Frankie looks at home in the car or on the deck of a pirate ship cruising the Spanish Main.

Post up your traveling cat pictures!

Will wonders never cease? Moon Light Basing is getting a gondola to connect the ultra swanky One and Only hotel with Madison Base: https://liftblog.com/2022/02/03/gondola-coming-to-moonlight-basin/ ...

Wonderful news that you and Mrs Yeahman could celebrate your 85th tram lap together. Clear blue sky and soft snow made for fun day and Djongo has been in MT for the past several days to ratchet up...

Lone Lake

I saw that dude at the top of Powder Leaker and his moobs were nastier than pictured.

At least those thinning slopes are not crowded!

Swimmy are you competing in the Dirt Bag on Cron's today? Great spring conditions at Big Scree today but the rocks, stumps and dirt are poking through in places.
