    As others have mentioned, checked recently solds around you on Realtor and Zillow. You can see county level trends here https://www.realtor.com/research/data/.

    GIS Project Ideas for Student

    Zoning is a good idea! I don't believe I've run across any free publicly available datasets at the state or national scale though. Census data has some basic categorizations of their geographies but may not be specific enough. DEM for elevation, land cover for vegetation, there are some national...

    Missouri - Kansas City Area

    Looks to me like JOCO wins for most KC area Roksliders. Any recommendations on places to meet at JOCO folks? Could probably draw in some of us Northlanders if it ain't too far down south, maybe a place in Shawnee/Merriam/North OP. Personally, I'm pretty open after Feb 14th if folks want to meet...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Sorry I can't resist (big Caddyshack fan).... Sandy: Carl I want you to kill all the gophers on the golf course Carl Spackler: Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they'll lock me up and throw away the key. Sandy: Not golfers, you great fool. Gophers. The *little*...

    Dog has cancer..now what?

    Last December our twelve year old Kerry Blue was diagnosed with nose cancer. Basically the only way to possibly treat was with radiation. Radiation started at $5k but would likely be at least double and most prognosis were 6 months at best even with radiation. Read up on what published...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    A couple folks have asked about the data sources on hunter numbers and why the industry says numbers are declining. Generally they are citing https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/fhwar.html . The survey is done every 5 years and administered by the Census Bureau. In 2016 the numbers declined...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing defense fund

    In Leo Sheep vs. US, SCOTUS paved the way for US Govt to take easments to access public land via eminent domain. So BLM could pursue this action today. However, that is a super costly route. Attorneys, appraisers, surveyors for every single taking...it might be legally allowed but financially...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    I heard Matt's take on the Blood Origins podcast and was looking forward to reading his article (heck I even offered to publish it). Since I jumped into the hunting industry a year ago I've struggled with trying to figure out how much to engage on social platforms. Functionally, social media...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing defense fund

    Donated. Getting some legal clarity on corner crossing in Wyoming would be great. As someone who has hunted public land in WY I hope its allowed, and for WY real property owners I hope the ruling is narrowly defined! It'd be great if the ruling resulted in an opinion that could be translated to...

    Idaho spring bear

    I did my second spring bear hunt the end of May beginning of June this year and it was the start of the heat wave. Snow was melted almost up to 7k and there was no shortage of green grass. I spent the first two days glassing big canyons and didnt see squat for bear. It sure looked like it'd be...
