    Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.

    Called a warden about one of those this weekend in Region 7. Feathers and carcass weren’t there when I signed in. Only one other party that day. Warden said he figured out who it was pretty quickly and they got ticketed for littering. Sometimes providing a very minimal amount of info to the...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    Like Austin Knudsen’s ill-fated bill to ban non-profits from purchasing land in MT, it seems Chuck has also forgotten about the non-profit status of churches. LDS church owns almost 200,000 acres in MT. Think the funding for those purchases was taxed?

    Who here loves CJ Box?

    Longmire books >>>> Joe Pickett books. Could care less about the TV series.

    Poaching, Partnerships, and Profits

    You have to be careful with those false morels. They’ll get you every time. Real morels seem to be scarcer every year. Political candidates these days are pretty much fungible.

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    North Texas. Politically, philosophically, wildlife management-y. GG won’t rest until every part of Montana is commercialized as much as possible.

    SB 442 - Habitat and Access

    Many Republicans stated early on that they didn’t agree with the court’s decision to send the veto override out for vote and would not be voting. Not sure they could get much more spineless. Can’t even stand up for their own Legislative authority to override a veto. At least vote No.

    FILM act

    The step stool must’ve been blocking a couple letters.

    2024 Draw results

    I expect they’re on their way to doing just that. They’re running the rest of the Agency. Ask MOGA for their season setting recommendations sometime and then compare them to what’s approved by the commission. I’ll save you the time. They’re the same. I might make up some rubber stamps that say...

    FILM act

    These guys are largely not hunting public anymore anyways. Maybe THP, occasionally MeatEater. Guarantee Matzinger and Eastman aren’t getting permits to film on the landlocked BLM inside their giant leases. But they must be hunting it because they’re always shooting a “great public land...

    FILM act

    Zing! You also knew it was him because you heard a dude trying to sound like David Attenborough while explaining why it’s best for the resource that he shoots a giant bull and buck every year. Also all of the phones books on the driver’s seat of his jacked up truck.

    2024 Draw results

    People who hunt antelope in Sitka soft shell pants and not blue jeans haven’t spent enough time crawling through prickly pear. But they look cool I guess.

    My FWP Hunter Survey

    I have a warden buddy who’s told me the same. They’ve threatened to get a warrant but they don’t believe the info is even accurate. Said the bio told him that more than 12 cows had been reported harvested in a district that was closed to all harvest. Apparently FWP is afraid of people lying if...

    FWP Bonus Point Sketchiness

    Everyone’s entitled to their version of government cheese.

    Busted!

    Glad he got a somewhat stiff sentence but confused why Idaho was the one to charge him when he broke the law in Montana first and stole Montana’s resource.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I support the proposal. That’s not what I’m saying. It’s the fact that no matter the public support for an idea, it will never get any traction without support from this commercial interest.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    But it certainly demonstrates who is controlling regulation of wildlife in our state. And it makes me very uncomfortable that the group that does so is a commercial interest. The next altruistic outfitter I meet will be the first.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    Heard the same excuses from Fish & Game when they started elk shoulder seasons. No one would ever charge anyone to shoot a cow. Lasted a week before outfitters were advertising shoulder season hunts for $500. Up to $3000 in places now. But I’m sure their support for the public land doe ban is...

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    Such a satiated bunch with the status of MT hunting. It would seem someone has at least the left ear of the good Governor. And what else do I spy but perhaps the most blatantly biased and corrupt Commissioner in state history. Just makes me warm all over thinking about what the future holds.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I’m convinced none of the conversations in this entire thread matter or will ever be implemented in Montana in its current iteration. The outfitters on here talk big but there is no way they will ever support anything that limits mule deer hunting for paying clients. And what they want is how...

    Montana Free Press Series on Corner Crossing

    Let’s be perfectly clear when we say “FWP decided to declare what the law is.” Their interim director made the statement. An IT guy angling for permanent appointment who would parrot anything GG and his landowner/outfitter cronies tell him to.
