Montana 518 Mountain Goat
From your location it looks like it is practically your backyard. Not much anyone can add above what you will learn from a couple of scouting trips over the summer.- SAJ-99

Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
Yep. Why is it that "sin" taxes in Montana seem to do quite well? https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/montana-cashes-in-on-sports-betting -

Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
The article shows that the flaw in property taxes in that it is a tax on an illiquid asset. Without some other income, it can't be paid. I feel more sorry for the teachers that continue to be underpaid, the police and fire that have unfilled positions (including FWP) due to pay, and the rural... -

Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
This seems like an ad made by the new guy who wants the Gov job saying "Look what the last guy did to you". It doesn't sound plausible without a rezoning from ag to residential, but details are lacking. Hard to feel terribly sorry for the guy because at 68 he has to work to supplement his... -

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?
It would have been a wide ride. Honestly, I never would have been able to stay in. Rule #1, know thyself.- SAJ-99

What did you make...$2500? This assumes you didn't close it out when it ran back about $200/sh. If you waited you could have closed with it below $140. And using RSI over the 3mos would have drove a person crazy. Timing is everything- SAJ-99

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Agree, but the way FWP manages antelope is completely different. As Gerald says, it may just be because everyone is used to it. But then FWP should just say "that is the way the majority of MT R hunters want it";. No need for 3 days of video presentation or even the CAC at all. Maybe they should... -

Why do these problems not exist for antelope? The NR v. R debate doesn't seem the same. Why does FWP manage antelope one way (unit tags, pick your weapon, pick your unit) with the R being fine with it, but MD and elk are different? tradition, ie, "we have always done it that way"? Maybe thinking... -

I can see this point and agree with them. My only counter would be 1) The NRs didn't create the convoluted draw process by which combo tags get to be reissued at 120% of the value and 2) changes are so hard to get done. If you are willing to put up the fight, don't stop at the easy stuff. -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Sure, but that isn't because NR's are better shots. They pay a lot more and they plan and make a commitment to their hunt. At those prices that doe or forkie on BLM next to the road on the last day is a consolation prize. If the NR paid $20 for the tag, they may be more willing to eat it as... -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
This thread keeps going in circles. Everyone in the state would agree that NRs suck and should be treated like the vermin they are. Just try to get back to the cap of 17,000. Unfortunately the Rs are dependent on the $$$. The math is difficult, if not painful for some Rs. The comments in the CAC... -

Arbitrary Hunting Goals
I think about this a lot. It should probably be its own thread. Do you stop when it stops being enjoyable? When you reach your “goal”? When your body can’t do it anymore? I think about the last one every time I put in for the goat tag. At some point that becomes plain stupid.- SAJ-99

Montana is years behind WY on migration data too. It wasn't until the first positive CWD test that they started putting more collars on deer. When I talked to the bio he literally said "Almost none of the deer migrated to where we thought they would."
