    Non resident Landowner incentive.

    I'm not a fan of this at all. In my opinion all this does is encourage even more rich out of state people to buy land here, thus driving land prices higher. Only way I would remotely support this is if some public access was a requirement of the bill, not just the landowner gets an extra bonus...

    Alright you MT R doe killers, fess up.

    Haven't shot a mule deer doe since I was in high school which was 15+ years ago. Generally fill the freezer with elk meat. I was helping a friend on a elk hunt in the breaks last year and saw an absolutely stunning and terrifying lack of mule deer. Judging from that there must still be plenty of...

    Backfire TV (YouTube gun channel) says liberals have destroyed hunting

    When he said hunter success is the same now as it was way back when there was way more hunters and "old technology" is where he really started to loose me. Pretty obvious modern rifle technology allows people to shoot farther. I really have to wonder if he has ever hunted public land a day in...

    Backfire TV (YouTube gun channel) says liberals have destroyed hunting

    The guy from Backfire TV released a video today titled Liberals Just destroyed hunting. His videos generally are firearm review videos and this is the first time I've seen him venture into this topic of discussion. It'd be interesting to hear some of your thoughts on this. To me especially when...

    I've been wondering the same thing.

    Emails sent. Interesting to see how this one turns out.

    Anti-first post

    Hunted some national forest service adjacent to a windfarm this last season. It was unbearably windy every day... it was miserable. In retrospect I should have expected this.

    Hope dies last.

    That was awesome to read, looking forward to following along next season.

    Best towns to live/retire in Montana?

    Red Lodge. Within an hour of Billings for healthcare and shopping. Great access to recreation. Ski Hill basically in town.

    Gotcha, thanks for the explanation

    Elk Camp At the Capitol - January 24th 2023

    Thanks for the clarification. Is the intent of limiting the B8 an attempt to take some pressure off of mule deer does? Or is the hope to just reduce overall hunting pressure?

    Elk Camp At the Capitol - January 24th 2023

    Can you clarify what exactly B10, B11 and B8 deer licensees are? General tag vs permit vs doe tag I'm guessing?

    Montana Corner Crossing Updated?

    Sounds like a fun hunt! Maybe I'll try floating my llamas in there

    Montana Corner Crossing Updated?

    You must have a lot of serious hunters around your parts. I've hunted some of the most pressured units for elk in the state and once I'm 2 or 3 miles from the trail head I rarely see anyone. The spot you mentioned where people float into doesn't surprise me, sure its a time investment but it...

    New FWP Commissioners

    I don't know anything about them. It'll be interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on them.

    Montana Corner Crossing Updated?

    I have a tough time believing corner crossing would ruin the populations and trophy quality in every spot. I'm sure the sections that are be within a mile or two hiking would see a large increase in pressure but there are public sections that are so many miles I have a hard time believing many...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    Its hard to make an assumption of what "the federal government" wants as that is so many branches and organizations that have many different agendas. If there are actors or entities at high levels within our own government that actively don't want landlocked public land to be accessed by...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    What are the good reasons? BLM FS are government land owned by the people. APR is private non profit? Im not trying to argue for the sake of arguing. Just saying the grazing lease idea is something that could be a card in the back pocket if other, preferable means fail.

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    Hopefully the your correct on the court case. Once could hope MT could pass a law similar to ND but it would take a very different legislature make up.
