We have two problems where I live

What we've got more of every year.......humans from CA and their desire to build HUGE homes on land we all used to hunt on for decades. Not to mention their values differ quite a bit from ours.

Glad I lived and hunted in the late 50's on and saw how it should have stayed. Also glad I'm no younger than I am.

Even though I live in Kalifornia, at least in the best part of this commie state, with it's communist style government, I can understand Ricks point of view.
We have some of the simular issues with some moving out of the central and bay area and taking over some areas we hunted for years, and then they close off the areas and throw up big "No Trespassing" signs.
BUt our main problem with the loss or declining game animals and birds is due to introduction of Invasive critters like the wolf, then the stopping of hunting cougars and the running of bears with hounds, which has allowed them all to become more prevalent and really taking down the game we hunted, to very low levels.

Yep, whole lotta people enjoy sex, that results in

population explosions everywhere.

Glad you got that calf eater.

George- I live in a sanctuary city, our population explosion is from south of the border, russia and several other countries and to a lesser extent city people. FYI- I read that the population of the U.S. has been in decline for years because boomers are getting of age.

i have noticed the republican women have bigger ovaries than the republican men have balls. we need to buy the men the book Nice Guys Finish Last and they need to adopt the philosophy Sean Connery told Elliot Ness in the movie the untouchables "They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. Not saying we need physical violence, just a certain mind set. if we don't we will loose,

Only in lawful and legal citizens of the USA. The criminal and illegal population has really grown, since Obama's era and now more so with Biden/Harris, Especially with Harris being the Border Czar.

I left work Friday and spent the night in my RV on the Columbia River then got up and drove to Okanogan and watched rodeo and Indian Relay races at the Okanogan County Fair this weekend.

Let’s just say that one of the major political party’s booth (the one that endorses grooming of children) didn’t get a warm welcome. Fact is, I never saw anyone interacting with them positively in two days. We were in Ellensburg for Kittitas Fair and Rodeo week over Labor Day and they didn’t have either a fair booth or a float in the parade. At least their fair booth wasn’t where it normally is. Word on the street is they don’t have many friends in central Washington.

I left Okanogan Sunday at 3:00PM and slept in the bed of my truck in the Kalispell Costco’s parking lot, visited my dad at the assisted living at 8:00 this morning, visited with Dennis Olson in Plains from about 10-11 and got home to Tacoma at 6:00.

I cover a lot of real estate when I am traveling on my own. I don’t have to stop for food and potty breaks and sleep under the truck or in the bed.
