This week's featured State Park is Montana's 50th state park, Brush Lake. Located near Dagmar, Montana, the only state park in the northeast corner of Montana. Due to its proximity to Canada, during Prohibition, liquor was easy to come by and kept the Brush Lake Summer Resort in business. There was also a dance hall! After the Prohibition era, church and scout groups used the lake, but in the years before it became a state park, Brush Lake wasn't the popular destination it once had been. Today...

Skunks are a dime a dozen in Montana. No one wanted to catch them or get near them. That is why you will be able to get a lot of skunk livers! The big question is how to catch the skunk without getting sprayed? Well, you will always get sprayed but that means you don't have to be around your wife for a couple of days. The two top methods I use are the live trap and the dog method. With the live trap, I put wet cat food in the trap and wait. Normally I catch a couple of cats before I get a skunk. I let the cats go in Whitehall (no cats were...

The Overwatch Project is coming at veteran suicide prevention from a new direction, using an approach that was successfully utilized to help solve another complex problem: drunk driving. We're building the equivalent of the "Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk" campaign for veterans, only instead of talking about alcohol and vehicles, we're talking about firearms and suicide. The Overwatch Project isn't your usual suicide prevention initiative. It's gritty and blunt and in-your-face, as it...
