If people make more money on private leases, then why do they lease from the Government at all? Is it because these better value private leases aren't available?
I used to work for Plumcreek, who were the biggest private landowners in the US. Plumcreek had lots of leases for range cattle in NW...
Doesn't a lot of the block management just have a book you sign in at the entrance to the property? They don't have to deal with any phone calls.
So if you were someone actually not allowing hunting on your land due to this fatigue, wouldn't you just not require phone calls. Put in the block...
Can't private landowners already dictate when people can hunt and how many people can hunt? Couldn't they already do what you're proposing, and allow only a short season on their land? And for that matter only allow x number of people per day? I thought that they could even dictate what...
Too many hunters on public, or accessible private land, isn’t that one of the biggest complaints that hunters have? Wouldn't the shortening of seasons just make lands more crowded?
My property supposedly went up in value almost 50% also. Good if you're a Real Estate agent, or if you can sell and travel the world like Kung Fu. The Kung Fu reference might be too dated. 😀
I locked my truck in the Walmart parking lot in Kalispell, close to the store at a busy time of the day. Went in for a few minutes, came out, and found my driver's door window shattered. Nothing was stolen, that I know off, probably because I was only in the store a minute or two. Had to be...
After reading this I was starting to get angry with all the liberal states for sending these people to Montana and ruining the state. Then I remembered that most of the out of state license plates that I see here are from Texas.
I bowhunted for years without a release. It just means you need to get closer to shoot. Bowhunting used to be something that required lots of practice and skill in getting close to an animal. Not the case anymore.
It's true that some people do come to the US for medical procedures, on the other hand 780,000 US citizens went abroad for Healthcare in 2019 (traveling abroad kind of came to a halt after 2019)
What you're describing may well be what would happen in parts of Central or Eastern Montana. I have no idea, never hunted there, but maybe because it's so wide open, you might be correct.
In SW, W, and NW Montana, most of the land has always been open to hunting, yet there is still lots of...
I don't agree. The more land that there is access too, then the more spread out hunting pressure is. There are huge areas in the state with very little private land, that still have lots of wildlife. Besides, if we end out getting denied access to public land, then what does it matter if it...
I find it hard to get the neoprene sleeves to stay in place, they seem to want to bunch up behind my knee. I think I'd be better off with something much shorter that just went around the knee itself.
I woke up this morning in Kalispell to the smell of smoke. Smoke from the fires in Canada has moved in. A little early in the year to be dealing with this already.
