I’m always in disbelief when someone thinks where someone was born and/or raised has any bearing on their character. I have yet to meet anyone who had control over where either of those things occurred in their life. If that criteria was remotely meaningful Teddy Roosevelt would be seen by most...
I was just going with the GoHunt explanation, but they aren’t always on the ball: “During the drawing, bonus points are squared giving the applicants more names in the hat. An applicant with 10 bonus points, for example, would enter the draw with 100 entries.”...
In a random drawing (with or without regular bonus points, squared, or cubed bonus points) there is never a certainty of drawing, and there is no way to predict how the chips will fall until they have fallen, but it is foolish to think that bonus points don’t increase your odds in the MT...
Huntin’ Fool claims 164 in 300, 148 in 303, 126 in 500, 159 in 501, and 119 in 502 for 2022. That link shows a harvest in 500 for 2022, which was not a ram, ewe or lamb. Who is a guy supposed to believe?
And this is why we can’t have nice things. It’s as if we can’t have a unit known for some quality elk and a quality experience. Last time I did some research on the topic a while back there was not a single other state in this country that runs an unlimited general elk hunt throughout the entire...
I would imagine it would depend on how it is implemented. The bill doesn’t specify and leaves it up to FWP to decide from what I gather.
Would there be separate 2 week blocks you have to pick from, pick your own, honor system?
In my wildest dreams I can’t see this legislation pulling anywhere close to 2550 (15% of the 17k) tags from the NR pool, ever. The real number will be an actual drop in the bucket.
I’m a bit surprised at the lack of a reaction to SB533 which has unanimous support in the Senate and is moving...
Don’t carve out the whole season just yet to chase that raghorn. Although I’m sure the “I was conceived in MT” type licenses will be exempt.
