Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Idaho stays all red

There's a reason rural areas don't welcome outsiders. If we were smart we would tar and feather all of them.

Ada County (Boise) is a nightmare already, the left wing idiot Democrat woman running for Governor won in Ada County last I looked, the damn place is already going/gone to hell..a trip to Sun Valley is no longer necessary.

Yes I like Sal but they moved his retired california cop brother here already,,,Damn!!!

One or two would be OK but damn there are thousands of them, hell tens of thousands. The Treasure Valley has grown by hunderds of thousands in the last 2 or 3 decades.
Now places I used to hunt once in a while closer in is overrun with guys, or worse someone has built a house. places along the river we use to almost never see anyone your lucky if people are not already there.
Area's we used to hunt pheasants is now neighborhoods and shopping centers.
BLM land is now being torn up with over use and the goobrerment is going to have to make changes, some laws have already become a lot more restrictive.
To many folks is changing this place and not for the better.

This growth and overcrowding runs much deeper that just politics.

"Idaho stays all red"

Oh, you mean like a bullseye? Prepare to be overrun.

I was speaking of Idaho in the late sixties and early seventies. I really couldn't handle it now. GD

Blaine County is Sun Valley. It's like any other resort town, over run by wealthy city people. They bring their own grief with them.

Red or not, we voted in expansion of medicaid...wasn't too happy about THAT.

To the best of my knowledge and belief all the winning candidates in Idaho are good on gun rights.

Time was however that Democrats and Republicans in Idaho shared a common belief in gun rights.

Frank Church and Cecil Andrus were as good on gun rights as anybody else. The NRA was wrong to oppose Andrus personally as well as politically on the D2 lands issue when he was good enough for Idaho. Today there any number of Idaho candidates the NRA and the state and local gunners should indeed must oppose.

Looking at the NRA voting guide this year emphasizes that there a lot of Idaho candidates who are not good on gun rights. Time was the gun grabbers would at least be quiet about it in Idaho and that no longer seems to be the case. When Ada County (and Elmore and a lot more) treats pellet guns as strictly as firearms so kids can't shoot BB guns on their own property the gun grabbers have already gone too far and they are pushing on and on.

No I know why, In Sept we elk hunted in the Salmon zone. Several guys flew into Missoula and drove to where we were staying. I put a Trump Campaign sing at the end of the driveway to help them find the place we were staying. It did not last 12 hours and it was gone..

About which part of my post ?

Berkley, MT I mean Missoula kept us purple again in the Senate. Californians infiltrated there 30 years ago when it was half decent.

On a local level, Dems won some ground in Idaho. Blaine county (Sun Valley area) has 3 reps in the legislature and now all 3 are held by Dem women. It's a small area, populationwise, but the Sun Valley area liberals outnumber the ranchers.

The liberals in that area do some strange things. The valley badly needs another cell phone tower that would give cell service to a lot of places outside of town. One of the cell providers was going to build one on top of Galena summit and disguise it as a tree. The Sun Valley bunch got it blocked saying it would be ugly. They have their service in town but don't want anyone else to have it.
