    Solo hunting

    Upland 2023

    Goofy puppy look from this morning's hunt. This MT rooster flushed wild at 250 yards, flew a mile, then grazed out pasture, so he landed in a cattail patch before that grazed out pasture. We have had good success pinning rooster just before grazed out pastures this fall.

    When to declare MT residency in transition from owning a home in another state and in MT?

    Thanks. From that document: No one factor will automatically determine residency and the order of appearance in the list below does not indicate a level of importance.

    Do you get tired?

    One aspect that I don't think has been mentioned in this thread is the physical fitness aspect. I will be 67 in April and I believe that my physical fitness would not be what it is today without passion for hunting. As a youngster, I don't think I would hump up the hills every morning in...
