    Montana Grizz management

    We’re probably thinking of the same press release. If memory serves me correctly they had @700 DNA samples and extrapolated an estimated 200-300 additional bears that didn’t leave hair on the barbed wire at the survey sites.

    Montana Grizz management

    As of a few years ago there were @700 documented grizzlies by DNA hair samples in the Bob Marshall Complex alone. I think that 1300-1500 statewide is probably a more accurate estimate than 1000.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Most elk hunting in the Breaks is by permit only and it’s been a highly popular area for for decades. Increasing elk populations and liberalized cow tags and harvest in response to landowner complaints about over objective elk herds increased pressure from cow hunters who also had a deer tag in...

    Proposed 2 Dog Shooting Range Easement.

    For those forum members in southwest Montana here’s an opportunity to weigh in with support for a new shooting range near Logan. This would provide additional shooting facilities a few miles from the existing private range on state property that is already heavily used by shooters without...

    Rules, schmules. In an opportunity economy hunger writes its own rules.😎. Make America Great! Let’s eat their dogs. Another great slogan for T-shirts and bumper stickers.😄

    The Dutton Ranch is down there in your neck of the woods. You ought to be able to apply that opportunity economy to some prize rodeo stock…. Or get a ride to the train station….

    Opportunity economy is where we eat the dogs and cats in other folks’ neighborhood and not our own.

    Lessons learned from MG scouting trip

    What size goats are you guys shooting? I’ve been on @ nine successful goat hunts over the years between mine and friends hunts and those weights are more than most of the live weights of goats harvested. Goats have a huge gut wad and are large boned with surprisingly little meat for their...

    Elk reacting to being shot with rifle???

    If you’re asking for opinions and experiences of whether an elk grazed on the brisket and then shot through the paunch can travel 500 yards before expiration then that answer is absolutely yes. That could easily happen.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    As you probably guessed, I’m less concerned about how Saskatchewan funds their game department than I am with how MT would fund ours if NR’s were cut out of hunting deer and elk. NR license dollars make up over 70% of MT FWP’s budget. Unless you’re willing to have general fund (taxes) money...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    How many deer get killed is a terrible way to gauge herd health. It doesn’t factor in the reality that it now takes more days with much better technology and mobility to kill the same amount of deer as back in the ‘80’s when blue jeans, 200 yard rifles, paper maps and easy hunting access were...

    Mountain Goat Taxidermy

    Can you case skin it and hang the pelt from the wall? Goat hair is the trophy and I imagine that an early season nanny is going to have really soft hair. For the sake of the goat herd, please shoot a nanny without a kid. Mortality for orphaned kids is almost always 100%.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    It’s about lessening pressure during mule deer’s most vulnerable period, not weighting a season structure to benefit one group of hunters over others. Stands to reason that if deer populations are more concentrated on private then mule deer bucks are more likely to select private ground to...

    I post an occasional foot picture on my adult web page. The rest of the time I swim through piles of gold coins that magically accumulate after I post the pics. Disney made a documentary about it.
