    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    If you consider that they have things the way they want it and would like to keep it that way, it makes a lot of sense.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    A few years ago, like 4ish years ago, FWP was claiming record or near record numbers of mule deer in the north east. What does that say about habitat?

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I won't argue against any of the above. I have lived and hunted north of YNP for many years. When I was young there were very wide bucks and bulls that came out of the park. You could see a picture of an extremely wide buck or bull and know that a buck 30 to 35 inches wide or a bull in the mid...

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I agree but there are many who won't entertain the thought. I read once that you could substantially change characteristics in a breed of dog in as few as 6 generations, yet people refuse to believe that we can alter wild animal characteristics in 30 or 40 generations. It boils down to...

    Worst Hotel you’ve ever stayed at ..

    The bathroom was dated with the original toilet with the tank up on the wall and a pipe connecting it to the bowl, nasty looking, but it worked. The shower was metal and free standing away from the walls with exposed steel pipe plumbing. Rust all around. The Playboy was pretty modern at the...

    Worst Hotel you’ve ever stayed at ..

    My brother and I stayed at the Terry hotel back around 2000. The place was a time capsule. The room had 2 small beds that had such a hole in the middle of them that there was hardly any padding there. The matresses had tags on them with dates from the 1950s. There was a small dresser with a...

    How cold at your place?

    Pretty sure that is when their Permanent Fund Dividend gets reduced.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I believe that a season running through the rut with unlimited tags allows hunters to be too efficient at removing large antler characteristics from a herd. If we could make hunters less efficient the genetic portion of growing big bucks in a wild population would be less important. Most states...

    Too cold to pee outside.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    When you are in the pit that we are in you can afford damn few predators. The responsible thing to do is close the hunting season. I know 1 person that shot a deer this year and the same last year.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I have been hunting the same areas for 50 years and can count the numbers of hunters seen on one hand the vast majority of seasons. This year I hunted 31 days and saw 5 ish hunters outside of a parking area. I saw 1 buck bigger than a 2 point and it was 7 miles from the truck. I would guess that...

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    The main issues in the sw are predators and elk on traditional winter range. I don't believe that we are going to do anything about either of these in the foreseeable future. I hunt areas that get very little hunter pressure, and the deer are gone. They have been decreasing steadily on a...
