    Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

    I would think the wound loss for rifle survey is going to have the same result. Some people are proficient and some aren’t. You see a lot more sloppy rifle hunters in the field shooting, nature of the weapon I guess.

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    It’s been a hot September. I remember dodging a rattlesnake opening of rifle one year.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I don’t disagree but I believe you need to look to the majority of resident hunters that aren’t on hunt talk. They are going to throw a chit fit. Nonresident regional caps, increase in resident prices, so Ben can keep his funding. The programs need to go for nonresidents add ons. My two cents...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    It’s extremely hard for me to post because I have been limited. Region 6 and 7 could handle 15-20 percent (that may be high) of nonresident hunters per region. A significant amount should go to private land only, not outfitters lets say 20%. Western Montana can figure out the allocations from...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    After a couple weeks of bow season it has never been more evident to me, observing pressure from nonresident bird hunters and archery hunters that nonresident regional caps are a very key factor that is missing. The proposal is dead in the water to me without them.

    Bowhunters - not a big impact?

    I love to bowhunt. But I am convinced some people shouldn’t do it. This is a very fair thread especially from some of the story’s I’ve heard the last couple weeks.

    Influencers Ruining Stuff

    If you value being on hunt talk at all, I would caution you on calling it as it is. Wild times we live in.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I don’t get to post anymore but shed god has some good thoughts. I respect some of the guys that came up with the proposal some of the others I don’t. I don’t see a good path forward without nonresident caps, maybe even resident caps no matter what date the season falls on.

    In Montana NR Hunters secured over 85,000 hunting licences.

    Obviously there are people like you and shoots straight but there has been a major shift in pressure.

    In Montana NR Hunters secured over 85,000 hunting licences.

    Randy and company put every nonresident and western Montanan resident on one side of the state. So yes I’m that nice on a Sunday as well. Not only are those numbers bad but hunters have been congregated as well. They either didn’t have the foresight that would happen or they didn’t care.

    They need to be called out for being jack wagons.

    Influencers Ruining Stuff

    It’s hard for me to grasp the influencers thought process other than getting an adrenaline high from the likes. Once they burn a spot to the ground they just move on to the next with no regard to the people that have put the research and time in to learn them.

    If you don’t want a headache and want a cheap functional rifle I would look at a savage.

    Crazy Application Fees - Burn Them Down!

    We are seeing the break down of the NAM model. People willing to pay whatever it takes for a tag, game agencies that are managing the wildlife right into the ground on public or accessible land to try to keep up. Demand is high, populations of wildlife declining. Bringing more people to the...

    UPOM suing FWP over elk regulations

    I think you will see skeptical Montanans if they have tried to improve things or if they haven’t. They have lived here and seen it. It doesn’t improve. Organizations that gladly take our money won’t take a stance on the management side of things. That is exactly what needs to happen. It’s a...
