    Keep an eye on this issue. There is rumored to be a bill coming in the 2025 session that will intend to close down all trust lands to public hunting. We will be watching closely. A politician changing directions with the wind (i.e. fickle public sentiment)? I’m surprised that you or anyone...

    Thanks for sharing your perspective. …and you’re in luck. We will be having multiple guests on in the coming months with direct experience in multiple CWD research projects using GPS collared animals.

    Correct, public comment on this exact proposal was not open in 2018. That is when the city of Bismarck took public input/comment for projects. My apologies if that was not clear. The above graphics do not include 2023 commission votes or 2024 community input meetings for the...

    The images below are concepts, not actual proposals. Just some ideas that were put together to get people thinking about what might be possible for utilizing and expanding these areas. The core idea and goal is increasing parking and adding an additional ramp to each location. Fox Island...

    I'm sorry you feel that way. What will NDBHA get out of this? We'll get lemonade where there was previously lemons. If successful, we'll get 2 improved boating access sites with additional capacity and additional ramps. Something Bismarck needs, especially with the loss of the Grant Marsh...

    I'm 100% a volunteer. I have not made a single penny from any BHA project, event, effort, policy,etc. That includes this project. I don't have a request amount for the legislature yet. It will depend on what I can come up with for funding from other stakeholders and what the project will...

    That is not my interpretation of any of these discussions. In fact, I think attitudes like this do more harm than good. See above...

    Just a quick review of some things that come to mind. For 2023 we had 4 wins in the legislature. Listen to us discuss them here. https://www.backcountryhunters.org/north_dakota_bha_podcast_episode_2 In the previous sessions, we fought off 2 bills, one to transfer Army Corps land that are...

    Bis to lose boat ramp

    I would agree with all of the above. Communication wasn't ideal. Personally, I think part of the issue is that this just isn't what either side is used to in terms of communication. The hunting/angling community isn't accustomed to looking for this stuff in city government, and the city...

    Correct, these are long shots to happen and unlikely to happen anytime in the near future, if at all. The hotel is the most unlikely. Mandan is still waiting for some final approvals but my understanding is that this project has a 99% chance of happening and the goal is to start construction...
