Is it luck or something else? Still trying to figure that out.
They still haven't gone live with the results on their page. Wondering if they found some errors and are trying to fix them before everything goes live.
I demand another redraw, 10% more tags for everybody!
Yikes! I just looked at the water flows of all the streams in that area. Some are above the max gauge levels.
Anybody got a picture or video of the mad mile? And I bet there is somebody trying to kayak it too!
I wonder if they will add yet another bonus point since I was unsuccessful on elk B. With the way this year is going with FWP I may still get the elk B tag in the mail.
Big surprise, didn't draw my elk B tag. Applied in a district with a bunch of B tags being given out, have 3 points and nothing. I have lived in the Helena Area for 15 years now and have only drawn 2 elk B tags that entire time. Holding out on Deer B now, at least then maybe I can see that...
I believe the Deer B and Elk B tag draws are supposed to occur this week. I see I still have extra bonus points for both as one of their numerous screw ups in all the drawings this year. Can't imagine the cluster**** of mistakes that will be coming up for this one. I should actually draw an...
Girlfriend measured something for me last night when I wasn't home. I asked today what it measured and her response was 36ish
Not 36 1/4", not 35 5/8"....36ish.
I am trying to figure out if a 36" long dry box will fit in my raft.
Apparently this is the theme for the day....

I had to go back and look at my Bison number since I forgot to look at it. I am number 13!
Nothing to get too excited at since I know they don't usually even get to number 1 but hey.....there's a chance!
I had to select the wolf, not a good sign, think he ate all my moose, sheep, goat, and bison and I got no tag.
My entire family is still waiting for any of the big 3. Guess I will be focusing on elk and deer again.
Last week I was rounding up the troops, I have 3 young kids, to get ready for school and they were sitting at the table eating breakfast. I was getting my breakfast together at the kitchen counter when my girlfriend comes up from behind me and starts trying to take my breakfast and generally...
I have a 2013 F-150 Ecoboost with 130K and have had minimal problems with it. Had a cracked manifold last summer and that is it. Haven't had any problems with the engine. My brother bought the 2013 F-150 with the V8 in it because he was scared of getting the ecoboost. He had nothing but...
I agree with this statement but there is an easy fix for traditional MT ranchers. Let people hunt on your property and those pesky elk won't be around long. I know one response will be that the season doesn't last all year. It doesn't, but there is something like a 9 month long season in some...
I have always wondered how many times during my hunting exploits that I have walked under a tree or walked right by a lion somewhere. I have seen many but my most hair raising experience was walking in the dark one morning to my hunting spot. I was walking an old logging road in and because of...
I think this happens a LOT in this particular district. There are very few wardens around, no FWP presence, very few signs about it, its close to Bozeman, and oblivious college kids (both resident and non-residents just go for a hunt). I think it also happens purposefully in this district a...
I think the Utopia is that the Bulls (and deer) are "owned" by the people of Montana. The regular Joe Schmoe should have the same chance to shoot one of the publicly owned bulls as the rich billionaires, but that is not the case here and not even close.
Never seen a wolverine that I know of. Only seen one lynx in Montana, from about 3 paces away. But how many have ever heard a Lynx in the wild? Had one "bark" at me 3 times. Its not a sound you would expect to come from a cat.
They do use them as a food source. They nip off the new shoots, especially the tops of very young shoots. If you've ever been to Yellowstone you may notice some areas in the park that are small 1/4 acre or so that is fenced. These areas are usually covered with Aspens partially because the...
I see fence all over the place where I hunt. Its amazing the places you will find old fences that still have wire everywhere. Public land included because of old grazing leases and mining claims. And a lot of it isn't doing anything anymore, its just laying there. I know RMEF puts some of...
