    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    No luck for me or anyone I know. I drew a late May permit in 2003 and haven't been able to draw one since. I still manage to make it on there almost every year though. I am a bit bummed about the toilet removal, but do understand why they are doing it. Some of the camps have run out of...

    Valier, Montana

    I never knew the actual name of that bar. Always just called it the EAT Bar due to the large sign on the front that just says "EAT". Definitely a good burger after a week of living out of a tent eating mountain houses.

    Montana Mule Deer Raffle

    Got a couple. I've tagged along on some hunts over the past few years in a couple of special draw units and really enjoyed myself. It was a fun an unique experience for Montana to look over a dozen or more 170+ bucks on public land each day along with a few bigger ones every once in awhile. It...

    River Trip draws

    I packrafted the Selway August 1st a few years ago. It was just under 1' at the Paradise gage. If you search for a thread called Selway Float there are some of my pics from that trip on there.

    Law Enforcement on Public Lands

    That is sad to hear. I haven't been to Delmoe Lake in a couple decades, but it was one of my favorite places in the world when I was a kid. If we weren't swimming or fishing in the lake, we were wandering around for hours in the woods scrambling around on all the huge boulders. Sounds like you...

    Grizzly Incident Count

    Hint…there are no studies that say that. A lot of BS in both of those posts above yours.

    Higher R value pad

    I use a semi quilt (enclosed foot box) these days since I get so wrapped up in a regular bag from my constant rolling over. I sleep so much better with it, but was getting a bit cold from below with my old thermarest if it got down into single digit temps. I got the xtherm a few years ago and it...

    Grizzly Incident Count

    Another thing to consider when comparing AK to the lower 48 is how griz encounters are reported. I have talked to several hunters in AK that had to kill a griz in self defense. The reported it to the troopers and in 2 cases a trooper came out and did a quick investigation and in the other the...

    Couldn't agree with you more. The last thing these hunts need is more publicity. I've been hunting that country for over 20 years and it used to feel like an actual wilderness experience. I would still run into other hunters every few days, but the past few years its multiple hunters every day...

    Montana Mountain Goat- at wits end

    Definitely do not want to ride a e-bike or pedal bike on that road. Saw a few good billies up in that country a week ago. Not sure where they closed the road, but there are goats to be found up some of the side drainages to the west not too far past the main trailhead. PM me for the location of...

    Google Bot Data Mined Super-Fund Site

    Got to appreciate the consistency of FWPs tech department. For the first part of the season you could barely understand what the guy was saying on the Sheep Status phone recording and now the Bighorn Sheep Harvest Quota Status page on the FWP website has been down for a few days.

    I stopped and looked at that bridge when we crossed it a couple days ago. Mentioned to my buddy that it looked like it wouldn't make it past another spring or two. I guess my estimate was off by a spring or two.

    Google Bot Data Mined Super-Fund Site

    Was way more crowded in there this year than I have ever seen it in 22 years I have been messing around in there. I decided 5-6 years ago I would never drive my truck up that road again. After the damage to the road from the flooding 2 springs ago I can’t believe anyone got a stock pickup up...

    Dams That Never Were

    Thanks again for putting that together. Very cool to see what lies under the waters that I frequent so often.

    What do you carry when hunting in otter habitat?

    My theory is that the Orcas have been spreading the word about how much fun it is to sink boats. The otters decided to test the waters by starting small with inner tubes. They will be after the paddle boards, kayaks and rafts next. Once they start pulling the plugs out of bass boats, we really...

    What do you carry when hunting in otter habitat?

    Hi, I'm going to be hunting this fall in some prime otter habitat and with recent events I'm very concerned with my self defense. I'm thinking I'll need at least a 10mm or 44 mag. Or is otter spray good enough...

    Do you carry a pistol for bear when elk hunting???

    I'm very cautious about who I hunt with when it comes to carrying handguns. I've had friends invite out of state guys along on hunts in Montana that were terrified of bears, cats, the dark etc. They were constantly jumpy and wanting to pull their pistols out and point them at sounds and moving...

    Do you carry a pistol for bear when elk hunting???

    I hunt primarily in parts of Montana with high concentrations of grizzlies and have been spending quite a bit of time in the backcountry of Alaska lately. I used to carry a pistol when archery hunting, but now I only carry it when returning to pack loads of meat and only if the kill site is in...
