Montana mule deer rant
Interesting, though probably apples to oranges. I’d assume more people who draw a limited permit are more likely to hold out for nice deer than the average general unit meat pot hunter. I don’t know what the target % of mature bucks in a general unit harvest should be, but it should be enough... -
Montana mule deer rant
If it were up to me, I’d put the management objective somewhere in the ballpark of >10-15% of harvested bucks >4.5. Many hunters will shoot the first buck they see no matter what, so average age isn’t a useful metric. I’ve been involved in enough tooth collecting to believe it isn’t hard to get... -

Learning to Shoot With Iron Sights - Important or Not?
I don’t see how the sight type could be more important than developing good form, breathing, etc with plenty of quality repetition. If anything, learning to find targets in a scope seems to be a hurdle for new shooters. Maybe starting with a scope earlier would be helpful. -
Why does it have to be this way?
My wife and MIL love nerding out on Thanksgiving and making the full spread with everything extra nice and from scratch. I haven’t been brave enough to tell them how much I love StoveTop stuffing. Haven’t had it in years.- madtom

Leupold Alumina caps
Clearance with the barrel isn’t a problem. Just have to install the cap before you mount the scope. Otherwise, the tabs to open the cap will hit the barrel when you try to thread them on. -

A story, an outcome, and maybe a change of direction
My tenacity for hunting has definitely waxed and waned over the years. Having a kid and an ever more demanding job has taken a toll on my time and interest in time-consuming hunts the last couple years. But there have been several times, including just two nights ago, that I’ve watched my 22...- madtom

ND Landowner blows up on young waterfowlers
The kid’s three videos about the incident have a combined ~2.5 million views on YouTube. I’d let Jeff scream at me too thinking about the cash about to roll in.- madtom
