American prairie. What's the issue?
And if they don't want people crossing their land then they don't get the grazing lease. What other bargaining power does the public have ?- Luke_with_a_lab

American prairie. What's the issue?
Incredibly cheap grazing leases and in return you have to allow the public to access that land, seems like a reasonable and fair trade to me.- Luke_with_a_lab

American prairie. What's the issue?
Obviously it wouldn't go over well with UPOM but with new age landowners allowing no access what choice will the public have but to fight in non conventional ways to get access to all that public land.

American prairie. What's the issue?
I wasn't intending it to force access to deeded land but instead only if they cut off access to land locked public land perhaps? Im not trying to come out against the APR. On their deeded land they have a right to do whatever they want. I see grazing leases as a major playing card the public...- Luke_with_a_lab

American prairie. What's the issue?
Just thinking out loud but If the APR ever did shut the doors to hunters and public access would it be possible to lobby the BLM to suspend their grazing permits? If that is possible it would seem like a good way to ensure public access. If the APR didn't have the BLM to graze on they would then...- Luke_with_a_lab

FWP Commission to change Gardiner Elk hunting
With Commissioners Waller and Byorth leaving in January whats the guesses on who/ what type of person is appointed to replace them? It seems like Byorth is one of the few members of that commission that sides with science and pushes back on the ludacris proposals. Even commissioner Waller...- Luke_with_a_lab

Rangefinder recommendations
Whatever you decide to get just make sure it works in fog and mist. In archery this season I missed a bull because my rangefinder wouldn't range through the fog/mist. I was using the vortex ranging binos for reference.- Luke_with_a_lab

Agree'd, it makes absolutely no sense to give up parcel 4. Why would it even be included in the first place?- Luke_with_a_lab

To crimp or not to crimp?
Wow lots of good info, thanks a ton. For dies I'm sure leaning towards the carbide because as you said, it appears you do not need to lube the case. If so, why not go carbide and eliminate one step? I guess time will tell on that one. Also thanks for the info on the crimping. Being that im going...- Luke_with_a_lab

Montana Legislature - 1 month until the Show
Its wild to see bills like this come forward. As Randy said you can bet its not for the good of the resource or hunter. As a politician by putting these bills out there you expose just who's side your on and who your fighting for in Helena. The crazy part is after doing so the voting public...- Luke_with_a_lab

To crimp or not to crimp?
Hey all, Im looking to order a die set for my 6.5 PRC. There are a ton of them out there, some with crimp and some without. When reading it seems like some people like to crimp and some dont for various applications/ reason. Being that Im a complete Noob at reloading I'm simply trying to avoid...- Luke_with_a_lab

Montana mule deer rant
Didnt Hank say at the end of the last legislative session that "mule deer are up next"? Any ideas on what he meant by that or predictions of what we'll see in this next legislative session in regards to mule deer?- Luke_with_a_lab

Montana mule deer rant
While you may be correct in most instances, I have to push back a bit. I'm also not saying the state of mule deer in Montana is great either, but it isnt as black and white as people make it out to be. These broad statements saying "there are no good mule deer ANYWHERE in the state" or...- Luke_with_a_lab

Montana mule deer rant
I'm a bit late to this thread. Is the quality like it used to be? No way, however, I do know a guy who shot a mule deer buck last year that was in the high 190's/ maybe 200" on PUBLICLY accessible public land. So there are still good bucks out there if you work for them and also have a good...- Luke_with_a_lab

East Crazy Mountain Land Exchange
The thing that sticks out to me as others have stated is that most all the usable/ prime land is going to private hands. In my opinion the public would be getting borderline useless pieces of ground. With that in mind what is the purpose of this going forward. Its basically a concession to the...- Luke_with_a_lab

2023/2024 update !!! Norris Road Elk Hunt
I hate seeing videos like that. Its crazy how people can loose their minds when they see elk... especially right off a road like that. That area seems to draw all the laziest hunters that exist in/around bozeman.- Luke_with_a_lab
