    Extra Stupid Window Stickers

    Definitely literal. I knew some guys in college that were seriously into it. They were from Ekalaka, which probably explains some of it. That was their thing. They talked about it all the time. Disgusting.

    Montana Moose Habits

    Saw a really nice bull yesterday while out duck hunting. I would have taken him. He was all on his own but he was covering some country, most likely looking for some ladies.

    Valier, Montana

    Nice little town, typical small town Montana really. Some great fishing in the area. I can't speak to the hunting.

    Grizz attacks hunter in Montana

    I read about this on yahoo. It had the Go Fund Me description in the article. Sounds brutal. The worst part was reading the comments to the article in yahoo. I would say over half the commenters were slamming the guy and saying something along the lines of that he deserved it because he was...

    Deer burgers?

    I grew up on deer and elk burgers. Never added any fat or anything to them. Just make the patty and put them on the grill, add your favorite spice. It's not rocket science. Delicious! Maybe you don't make a real sized burger? If you try and make them super flat like something you get at...

    First truck and current truck.

    I have only owned 3 vehicles in my life, all trucks. My first was an 87 toyota. It had the 22R engine mentioned before, it didn't have much power on the interstate or going over any passes. But it was a great vehicle for a high school/college student to bomb around in the mountains. Those...

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    Yep, this is part of the problem. I remember back in my single days this was the problem I had. Only pictures I had with me in them was dead animals and wet fish. I do see the problem with trying to figure out the difference between the IPA/golf/hunting bro that is a douchebag and the real...

    E-bike Access?

    I see people on E bikes all over town now and of course on the trails. Most of these bikes when I see them now I am always thinking to myself, "That is not a bike anymore, that is a motorbike." Some of these things are huge. Have great big fat tires on them, a big motor, most people aren't...

    Montana Elk Management Survey Results

    I can't say I am unsatisfied with the elk hunting in Montana. There are things that could be improved upon. While there are certainly problems with elk being concentrated on the private versus public land, there are plenty of elk out there and way more than there was when I was a kid growing...

    Montana antelope draw results

    Successful! Got my A tag which I didn't think I would draw. Didn't get the B tag. Not sure how that happened as it was like a 90% chance or so last year.

    Best camo for antelope hunting...

    I swear that sometimes antelope run when they see a person in camo. They see you in normal clothes and they don't give two sh*ts.

    Historic river access on Gallatin closed off

    I just read the article on another site. And while what you say may be true I don't see anywhere in this article where they provided a map to the public of where they COULD access it. Seems a simple solution to just post maps at the points where people were accessing the property showing where...

    Harvesting wild game materials for fly tying?

    Just cut off the piece you want, salt it a bit on the hide side and let it dry out. Thats about all you need to do. You could brush it to get some of the underfur out but I don't bother and just pick it out as I am cutting off a piece to put on the fly. I have pieces of hide I saved off of...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    I know a few that did exactly this. One guy un-retired, came back to work, worked for 5 years so he was vested and had more retirement income. Retired a 2nd time, came back in to visit us about a month after his 2nd retirement and had just found out he had a form of leukemia. He died within...

    Meat hauling capable daypack

    I have the Just One pack from Eberlestock. I upgraded to the Mystery Ranch Marshall as I needed a bigger pack for my extended trips. The Just One I still use for day hunts as it is a bit smaller and easier to cinch down and able to carry the first elk quarter out when I get something. Only...

    Bridger mule deer

    Saw a monster, possibly the biggest mule deer I have ever seen in Montana during the summer of 2004 just at the base of the mountains on the west side. In 2007, I was super excited because I drew the tag the first year I applied there. Ended up shooting just your typical 4 point mule deer the...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    The biggest issue I see with this whole set up is that eventually the biologist and most FWP employees won't be involved when it actually comes to making the final decision. I see progress in the proposal. I just don't think that when it comes to the commission/FWP director/Governor and the...

    Montana Conservation Project on the CMR- Now July 15th

    Was there this past week floating the breaks. Its super green everywhere. We actually saw very few animals from the river and I believe its because it is green everywhere and they don't need to be down by the river right now.

    Mann Gulch Hike

    Most of the snags in the area are from a big fire in the area during the 2007 summer. I worked around Hauser Dam that summer and it was an extremely hot one, there was a record set of something like 13 days in a row of 100 degrees. There were some other fires before and after that but the...
