Polls consistently show that Montanans support public lands and access to them. And yet, the 2019 Montana Legislature consistently opposed bills that improve access and supported bills that reduce it. Of the four bills that would have improved access, three died. Meanwhile, the anti-access bills, HB 550 and HB 265 garnered more support. Luckily, HB 550 died on the Senate floor after massive action was taken by Montana’s hunters and anglers. But sportsmen and sportswomen are deeply disappointed that the Legislature passed H...

As a young football team last season, the Montana State University-Northern Lights have experienced players returning at a number of positions. Yet, in terms of talent and production coming back, it's hard to compare any group of players to what the Lights have coming back at wide receiver. And while Northern suffered some losses there too, MSU-N returns one of the most productive wideouts in the Frontier Conference in Bryce Bumgardner. Another one of Northern's leading pass...
Well, that was exciting, but more so, Sunday was inspiring. Yes, you guessed it. I’m talking about The Masters, and I’m talking about Tiger Woods. Now, I’m thinking that, anyone who reads a local golf report watches professional golf, so you don’t need me to recite what happened at The Masters on Sunday.
