    Fwp December commission meeting

    Just got an email from FWP as this meeting is going on that we need to kill all deer in the Ruby. Extended hunt from Dec 15 to Feb 15. Ridiculous, this won't accomplish anything except kill off the deer.

    Montana deer questions

    No way this thing scores 160. I have a 165 buck on my wall, with eye guards and mine is taller, wider, with bigger forks. I would guess about 145, could be a little less than this. Most people that guess a deer have never actually measured one themselves and don't know what a true 160, 170...

    Montana - Ballot Initiative would allow Montana Landowners to Hunt Without Permits

    The problem is most people in Montana (I would venture to guess around 90%) have no clue how ANY of their representatives vote on anything. I ask some people in my circle of friends how they feel about how somebody they voted for during the election and how they voted on some specific bill or...

    Do you get tired?

    I get super excited to hunt and go hard. Most of my friends think I am nuts. But I start on Labor Day weekend and go until Thanksgiving Weekend every year. Even on years I get my bull early, I still go hard for a deer. I pretty much always end the season with a tag in my pocket. Part of...

    Bridger mule deer

    Great story, certainly doing the tag justice. The Bridgers are certainly steep. I took a friend with me on one hunt into an area, he refused to go again after that because of how steep it was. Shot my buck in that steep hellhole too. When I had the tag many years ago I shot my buck today...

    This is your property classification and appraisal notice

    I can't speak for his but I know mine went up because of the increase in property value. However my taxes are almost identical to last year simply because my subdivision decreased the amount we were paying into our account (because we were putting in too much previously). There is more than...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    They die. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Wounded animal meat safety #2

    This. There might be an area that is infected around the wound, and if so there is a decent chance the animal dies this winter. There is also a chance it healed just fine. I shot an elk with an area that was hit by an arrow in the rump 2 years ago. I ended up tossing part of the back leg as...

    Shingles Vaccine

    Get the shot, way easier than going through Shingles. I had it, took the medicine they recommend but it didn't do much. Had about 6 months of effects from nerve pain, itching and others. I got the first shot, I was told I wasn't old enough to get the 2nd one yet, which seems really odd to me...

    Should I buy a .338?

    This is funny, I just experienced this 2 weeks ago. Was at the range and ended up next to a bunch of young bucks shooting a small caliber gun that had a brake on it. That god damn thing was so loud. I think my spine FELT the noise every time they pulled the trigger.

    Should I buy a .338?

    This pretty much says it. I shoot a .338 win mag and have for years. It's a great gun. I don't notice anymore recoil than with my 270. Actually the 270 hurts more because it needs a new butt pad. I shoot slightly smaller bullet in the form of a Barnes TTSX. Works great for me. 338's are...

    Loud Gun

    Think I am going to give these Walkers Earbud Silencers a shot. The price on them has just been lowered. There is a bluetooth and rechargeable option but they are $200 a piece. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMQTWQL/?coliid=IV2J11XEIPTVB&colid=2DWUY26RQEZSP&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    Loud Gun

    Yes, full on deaf, hence the reason for the implants and not hearing aids. And also yes, am thinking I will get something for my son also.

    Loud Gun

    I didn't realize there were so many options out there. I like the ear bud ideas. Wouldn't be as bulky for the kids while walking through the woods.

    Loud Gun

    I have 2 kids that are hunting for their first year this year. My 10 year old son and my 11 year old daughter. On opening day of the youth hunt my daughter got a shot at a doe. She has shot the gun numerous times over the summer and fall at the range and in the woods. I have them set up with...

    Grizzly Incident Count

    Its a combination of several of the factors you list. But the BIGGEST one is the increase in the number of griz. There are more out there in more areas than there has been in probably around a 100 years.

    Why am i working

    These things school up in certain places. If you did this every day or even remotely close to that you would know exactly where those schools are. 40 wouldn't be hard. Some fish are worth up to $500 so it lowers the number you need a day. We used to get on some schools in the Clark Fork...

    Quitters

    I can't think of any tag I got that I didn't put in some good effort. I did shoot a nice mule deer with a special draw MT tag a few years ago. Biggest I have shot before but it was right at the beginning of the rut so I had more time to hunt if I wanted. I found out after the season there was...

    Montana Mountain Goat- at wits end

    What was your first big game rifle, and do you still have it?

    Remington Model 700 .270 that was my dad's. That thing has a seriously high body count. I just got 2 more antelope with it on Saturday.
