    Montana S/G/M Draw Results 2022

    Take heart young nimrods. Having been applying for moose since 1994 in Montana and before that in Idaho, I drew a tag. I was flabbergasted to see "successful" near my name. Had FWP made a mistake? Moose-take? Moose steak? Need to get a bigger freezer.

    elk. give me a september morning at timberline and the chance to call in a furious 600-pound animal into close range. it's all good but it ain't all equal. that said, I haven't drawn a sheep tag yet and I pride myself on an open mind.

    Mountain Lions!

    So when I was a newspaper reporter I was always keen to interview victims of animal attacks. This was before today's privacy laws so I could sweet-talk and/or sneak into the local hospital to interview folks in their hospital beds. I remember one tourist family. Can't remember where they were...

    Mountain Lions!

    That's a great story. Just because you didn't see the cat doesn't mean the cat didn't see you!

    CBS Saturday Morning- Hunting/Conservation

    Thirty years in the media and I can tell you this: the secret to happiness is low expectations. Clearly the producers were way over their waders in terms of understanding excise taxes and license dollars. But the overall pro-hunting, pro-conservation message was rock solid both in words and...

    Mountain Lions!

    John was a wiry little dude. Probably 140 pounds max, if that. But he took no shit from mountain lions.

    Mountain Lions!

    I've got a few of my own and interviewed several others. One that comes to mind was my late friend John Frederick, longtime "mayor" of Polebridge, Montana. He had a big shepherd/golden retriever cross named Bear. (Why you would name a dog Bear in Polebridge I never understood, but nevermind.)...

    Have you ever seen a wolverine in the wild?

    Wolverine tracks are pretty common around the fringes of the Bob and Glacier Park here in NW MT. I've seen two. One was swimming across Upper Kintla Lake. I thought it was a bear until it climbed out of the water and shook itself dry. I could then see the chestnut horseshoe on its backside. The...

    Lions Culled From Wildhorse Island

    The word on the street is the annual counts of bighorns has been dwindling for years, to the point there was worry there would be no sheep to transplant in future seasons. Also the cats made a habit of stashing their kills under porches of summer cabins. Not a great situation. I'm sure more cats...

    Lions Culled From Wildhorse Island

    What's amazing to me is that many cats were sharing one island that is only 2000 acres. Granted, it must have been a puma heaven, but I would have expected them to be more territorial than that.

    Sling Shot Grouse?

    https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/anthropology/stoning-grouse-a-traditional-legal-conundrum Here's an article I wrote for MeatEater on topic. I once tried to kill grouse with a homemade bola. All I got for it was a knot on the back of my head. But with practice could be better than my...
