    Time to change FWP Director

    Time to change FWP Director

    Dear voting-age Montanans, if you regret supporting Jersey Greg, maybe consider voting for a candidate this fall who works for constituents instead of a small group of high-profile campaign donors.

    How many hunting rifles do you have?

    I’ve sold 4, one of which I’m still kicking myself for 9 years later. I have just 2: 6.5 & .17 I eventually plan on getting a .357 for my kid to shoot, and a 45-70 for me.

    Deer Hunting in MI

    -Don’t push the property. You’re much better off letting the deer feel at ease and move around on their own. -Pac boots +1 your normal size, wear heavy socks over light socks. -Practice shooting when you are dressed up like the Michelin Man. Practice shooting at a target from a stand/blind...

    My Botswana Adventure!

    I could go there just for birds. I’ve never seen so much upland game in my life driving around in that county.

    Happy September!!

    It’s here! Dove, squirrels, cottontails, waterfowl, giant puffballs, and hanging deer stands for me in IA.

    Corn and antlers

    For those who purchased the properties back when they could get a tag every other year, it was a decent deal. Land prices were also a lot less 10-15 years ago. IA is the last domino to fall for States with few NR WT tags given out. It was not difficult to turn legislators elsewhere, and some...

    Corn and antlers

    If you’re a NR you need to draw a tag for either-sex deer. That’s our entire, simple system. Being a property owner, a leasee, or an outfitted client confers no advantage. The only way to be able to hunt bucks every year as a NR is to buy an auction tag (I think one sold for $42k this year)...

    Corn and antlers

    I have zero gripe w/ NR’s. I’m against giving them the prime cut of hunting opportunity. IA uniquely restricts their access to WT antlered buck harvest, unlike any other State. Nope. I want to maintain the current quality of hunting experience on public. If I remember right, 100% of my hunting...

    Corn and antlers

    Ravin Crossbows has been relentlessly pushing legislators to legalize crossbows for archery season. Every year or two the laws creep crossbows closer to unrestricted use. Straightwall rifle cartridges became legal during “shotgun” seasons several years ago, and hunters are still steadily...

    Kids

    I took my 7-year-old fishing Friday night. Bites were few and far between, but we got spoiled by being the only people there. As the sun set on the glassy lake we took the canoe out and shuffled our gear back up to the truck. The empty boat was last, and my daughter insisted on helping me drag...

    kids sneaking out

    Hey @PRO MO , how are things going with your daughter? I have the pleasure of interfacing with the men who met the 13-year-old girls sneaking out at night, and thought they hit the lottery. In the eyes of a predator, a minor who doesn’t want their parents to find out what they are up to is a...

    New Elk hunter looking for direction

    Advice #1 Consider not being defensive or explaining yourself. I came to this site 5 years ago seeking direction to get my first bull, much like you. I’ve been bluntly told that I’m wrong, misinformed, ignorant, etc. dozens of times over, and save for a time here or there, others were right...

    Pronghorn Old Buck Taste

    I could tell no difference in taste between a doe fawn and a 3.5 yr old buck that I killed in the same week.
