    Senate Vote Sends MAPLand Act to the President’s Desk

    I've been working on this bill since day one, and a lot of people deserve praise in getting it done. If you ever wonder why your navigation app is missing important information about individual roads, trails, and other public access features, it's likely because that information doesn't exist in...

    3 Week season for Mule Deer

    I think it would change the age structure more than the buck/doe ratio. These units certainly wouldn't be trophy units, but they'd probably have a handful of better bucks.

    3 Week season for Mule Deer

    It seems in western Montana that most the deer die after elk hunters start to panic around week three or four because they haven't filled their bull or cow tag. Ending mule deer about the time that panic normally sets in would save some deer and force people to hunt deer intentionally early in...

    3 Week season for Mule Deer

    I also see some value in creating 25 or so permits in each HD for the last two weeks of the season. It'd help get high pointholders out of the system and create some cool hunts.

    3 Week season for Mule Deer

    I think you need to do it across the board to make a difference. I think people begin to associate these three week season HDs with trophy units and target them more heavily.

    Montana on the Upswing?

    I think deer numbers vary greatly around the state. Certainly down in many spots, but also up in others. I know spots where I can view 60 deer a day. With that said, hunting pressure is definitely impacting age class, even in areas with a lot of deer.

    MT - Changes in Hunting Regs/Units/Seasons coming this month

    Lots to consider here. Looking at mule deer, I like the idea of some of the three week units. I think that approach is worth looking at. I worry about eliminating or combining many of the permit areas and how that could make it even more difficult to draw a permit. It is interesting to see...

    Montana Muzzleloader season bill

    Will this season start in 2021 or 2022? I see the comments in this thread about patched roundballs, but as I read the bill you can use a conical. The only specific requirement is that the bullet be a "plain lead projectile." That will extend the effective range and the real limitation will be...

    Section lines under attack in ND Grasslands

    The bill scan you posted appears to be of a draft. Has this been formally introduced? A bill number would be helpful. thanks

    Rifle Shot Placement for Least Meat Loss

    Sometimes you need to anchor the beast, and shooting through the shoulder bone with a tough bullet puts them down. Does it waste a little meat? Yes, but they also don't run onto an adjacent property, into a deep canyon, or over a cliff. It's situational in my opinion, and this shot has its place.

    Landlocked BLM

    Your image isn't displaying correctly on my screen. With that said, if you're interested in the history of specific parcels you can search for the original land patents on the BLM site here: https://glorecords.blm.gov/search/default.aspx?searchTabIndex=0&searchByTypeIndex=0

    300,000+ Acres of Public Land in Minnesota and Wisconsin Are “Landlocked” By Private Property

    300,000+ Acres of Public Land in Minnesota and Wisconsin Are “Landlocked” By Private Property

    We checked with MN and WI DNRs and they both said that corner crossing is not considered legal access in their states. We didn't account for cultural norms. You'll see in the published details that 16k acres of the 55k in WI are water adjacent, although access may or may not be possible...
