    Montana FWP makes seismic shift in elk permits

    I'm writing this knowing my opinion on this matter is not popular amongst the Hunttalk faithful. I'm expecting abuse, but at least try and keep it a little civil this time. I don't like permits that limit you to hunting only one unit, and I don't understand why so many people on this site...

    Montana Elk Proposals with Director Hank Worsech

    One of the big misconceptions is that the landowners with big elk populations on their land want them off, or their numbers reduced. There may be some that do, but I know for a fact that some (or the so called outfitters operating there) do their best to keep elk on their property during...

    Montana Elk Proposals with Director Hank Worsech

    As long as Worsech keeps getting the blame we are doomed. Worsech is just put out there to take the heat and blame while the average Montana hunter is getting screwed over by Governor Greg. If Worsech doesn't go along with the plan then he gets fired and a new leader gets appointed. Gianforte...

    Gardiner Wolves

    Isn't the big problem with National parks like Yellowstone the fact that they are getting too many tourists? So, if there were any truth to the claim about attraction of wolf watchers, wouldn't they be glad of this outcome? 😀

    2022/23 Montana Season Setting Meetings

    It's clear to me that the proposed changes are being driven by politicians and the Governor's appointed Commission. Not for the benefit of the average hunter, and not based on the recommendations of FWP biologists. So, when people send in comments blaming FWP and its director, how will it be...

    Easy Backpacking Meals On A Budget

    Several years back, one of my sons talked me into going on an unlimited sheep hunt with him. The first day we backpacked in about 16 miles, gained 4,000 feet. We stopped to eat MH meals. I did not feel good at all afterwards, the rest of the day. Now I know it was probably altitude sickness...

    Creative solution for increasing numbers of nonresidents

    I think that's a great idea for Idaho. I hope no one ever suggests it for Montana though.

    Montana FWP makes seismic shift in elk permits

    We all know, or at least should, that it will be more in favor of the privatizers, than the Sportsman. However, we are stuck with this leadership now. I'm guessing that if there is a huge public uproar, that the blame will get deflected onto FWP, and not the governor and his appointed...

    Elk up high

    A friend of mine who used to track radio collared elk, said that one day they would be at a 3,500 ft elevation lake, next day they would be the other side of a 7,000 ft ridge. He felt that scouting for elk before season was a waste of time. I don't agree with him, but elk can move a lot, and...

    I, Josh, take thee (insert your name here) to be my hunting partner....

    So, you really don't need a hunting partner, just someone who will tell your wife that they are hunting with you.

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

    Unlucky, I'll be applying for a LE unit this year, just like I always do. Then probably hunting the general units. I just won't be applying for the couple of LE units that restrict you from hunting elsewhere.

    Just a dumb idea or the downfall of archery? You decide!

    I'm not saying that this product wouldn't work, but would think if your first shot wasn't good, that time to regroup before a second shot would be a good thing. Having said that it might have been useful the day that a black bear charged me and my first shot hit a branch and missed.

    OregonChris soon to be THE HUNTER FORMALLY KNOW AS OREGONCHRIS

    Good point. Maybe it's Helena, that makes more sense.

    OregonChris soon to be THE HUNTER FORMALLY KNOW AS OREGONCHRIS

    Earlier he said that his uncle lived in Sandpoint. I see no reason to doubt that. Also, he said going there was taking him out of his way a little, so that rules out Kalispell as a final destination. I would guess Billings as a final destination.

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

    So what is the goal of saying that if you draw a permit for one unit, you can't hunt general units, versus you can also hunt general units? You do jump to a lot of conclusions "galloping on to private". I'll bet that the last elk I killed never came within 30 miles of private land in its life...

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

    I'm comparing a permit that says you can bowhunt elk in unit 411 and no where else in the state, with a permit that says you can hunt a mule deer in unit 270 and no where else in the state. Apples and carrots? Elk and deer.

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

    Your suggestion of limiting hunting to one unit, or one region, does nothing to limit overall pressure. If I hunt 10 days in region 1, and you hunt 10 days in region 3, versus us both hunting 5 days in each, how does that limit pressure? In the end its about number of people hunting, versus...

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

    I guess it all depends on what hunting is all about for you. Is it about spending time with family and friends doing something you love, or about trying to create areas with bigger elk? I'll give you a personal example of why I hate these hunt here and only here regulations. I live in Region...
