I think tag prices will have a bigger impact on future(and current) hunters than not being allowed in wilderness areas. The rule is dumb but it is what it is unfortunately. You can still fish and hunt small game in wilderness areas though correct?
I disagree, while lower gas prices may help some but just because a high priced tag is available doesn't mean people will spend the money for it. Everyone has a limit on how much they are willing to spend regardless of availability, and I think MT is starting to exceed that limit for a lot of...
That is starting to get up there in price, but a lot of states when you combo them together for deer/elk are not far off, however the individual elk or deer lisc fees are crazy high. The season length argument really doesn't hold much weight to a NR, mainly because most NR aren't able to get out...
I mentioned this in another thread, here in MO we changed our muzzleloader season to what is called Altenrative weapons. It's allows for use of crossbows and usually happens during the late rut. Seemed like a good idea to me. Although for this coming year they will be allowing them during...
I think you should first determine what your end goals are, if they are just to hunt elk, deer, antelope and not worry about trophies then I would not buy any points as you can get otc/left over tags from a handful of states for those 3 species. If you have a desire to get into trophy quality...
The points have been up for a few days now. I haven't done anything to check the accuracy. I figured they would of made an announcement of I would of said something. When I emailed them last week for the eta, they told me perfect timing and it was about 15min to launch and it was. I like how...
Kind of depends on the raffle ticket cost but if they where something like $10 ea. I'd throw a couple hundred at them just like I do a couple other states. Might even go more just because of the higher populations up there and only way to get a grizz if a guide wasn't required for the raffle winner.
It's not a bad idea, the problem with it is that a drivers license is a privilege provided by the citi/state. Where as owning a gun is a constitutional right so that is something anyone wanting a test type law will have to deal with. I'm all for keeping guns away from people who shouldn't have...
Sounds like a scouting service, I've seen a few of them on the web and from what I know they were not licence guides. They're a great thing to use for someone like me in the midwest who can not get out and pre scout and area.
Here's where you just don't get it, unproperly managed and regulated game farms are a threat, however properly managed ones if done correctly would not. You're basing you're whole argument off unmanaged and regulated farms. You can't do that because there hasn't been anything in place to...
Not exactly the same comparison, a little dramatic don't you think, like I stated, there is a lot of "I don't like it so it shouldn't be allowed", and you just proved my point, and even more of it keeps showing up. I agree that proper regulation and safeguards should be put in place. There was...
This exactly, there is a lot of, "I don't agree with it so it shouldn't be allowed" in this thread. It's a touchy subject I know, but no one should have their business shut down because people or gov't don't agree with it. Proper regulation yes but all out ban of someone's livelihood is a...
This has come up a few times in MO in the past. I don't think they should be banned because I think everyone should have a right to run a business and spend their money how they want. Although I do think there should be something in place to keep them from interacting w/free ranging animals...
