    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    You're projecting. I never tried to defend solar. And if you want to compare total impacts of gas/oil and wind to solar, that's a losing argument you've chosen. They all suck. Now do you have anything to offer about BHA which is what this thread is actually about? Ah, nevermind. I can't...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Leopold's works speak for themselves. If you think all Oil/Gas fields are multi use, then you are clearly blind to reality or at the very least, spun up by the right wing narrative that oil and gas are good and renewables are bad. I've said it before and I will again. It's stunning that a...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Nope, no spin here. If my googling is incorrect, feel free to correct with a link. While you're at it, google how many acres do the world's oil fields cover so we can make a fair comparison.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Probably the most well reasoned, informed post I've seen yet.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    You give trolls far too much credit. Don't take your eye off the ball though. This thread has a topic friend.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    "read a book" wasn't an insult. It was advice. What's a guy gotta do to be helpful around here. :D

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    my level of condescension is jealous of your level of sarcasm. But I promise to try harder. At least one of your assumptions is correct though. Extra points for that one. I've actually spent decades working to keep private ranchlands from becoming solar arrays and wind farms but don't let...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Like I said from the outset, you have an agenda against BHA and that is obvious. You were never interested in the facts to begin with.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Let's see if I understand this logic... Create an organization by and for hunters and anglers who are not just casual hunters and anglers but who are backcountry focused which by definition means they are pretty well informed and dedicated. Then, somehow convince all those hunter and angler...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Very familiar with this in fact, and nowhere did I say "it's just a few solar panels." But if you add up all the acreage covered by the 10 largest solar arrays, you still get less than 50k acres. So I'm not exactly sure how you jump from there to 20M, even in your kid's lifetimes. You (like...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    So far we've learned that 1) you think "nobody" likes the NRA and 2) you think 20M acres that BLM has identified as available for "potential" solar development will be off limits to you at some point during your hunting career? Do we have that right?

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    It appears as though you have a much larger axe to grind than just BHA. If it is in fact Lobbyists in general that you hate, convince us all by explaining your hatred for the NRA. And where on earth are you getting 20M ac that nobody will ever get to hunt? Source please so we can all follow...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    You act as if you can really understand all the nuances of their finances based on that ledger above, and you can't. My guess is (based on my experience with grants) that those were matching grants and they solicited corporate donations to leverage their membership's money to qualify for the...

    Prioritizing "game" conservation over all conservation is the ignorant and foolish part, in case you barely passed biology, ecology or any other wildlife mgt. course. Read a book sometime. I'd recommend you start with Aldo Leopold.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    You're questioning why so many conservation grants after an election year? Are you not familiar at all with the impact of BIL and IRA on conservation? You should be. I've been busy with a home remodel and haven't had time to give this a good look, but when I do, I'll form an opinion. Why...

    E-Bike purchase thoughts

    You're determined alright. Hey man, spend it how you want. But I'm not spending $50k on a truck OR $5k on a bike, both of which will depreciate to half their value in a year or two. For $5k, I can hire a sherpa to tow me and my gear around. LOL

    E-Bike purchase thoughts

    Spending $50k on a truck IS stupid. I just wait for the guys who do to see the newer models and sell their 2 year old truck to me at half price. :D
