75% sounds good to me during hunting season. I really have no problem with them being open in the summer just because as you say there is never any one out and about on them. With all the new hunters (resident & non-resident) closing some roads could be an option to manage hunting pressure. In...
I know it would never happen, but in the greater SW MT area I wish they would do something like close every other motorized route during hunting season. I think it would help pressure and maybe allow elk to do elk things a bit more.
The opener of both archery and rifle in that area are absolutely insane. We backpacked into a spot in that area during archery 2 years ago. Spent 3 days seeing no elk. Day 4 we finally found a small bull with some cows. Started to stalk in on them only to have hear cow calls coming from the...
Sorry to hear about loosing your pup. Its one of the hardest things a person does. You can take solace in knowing you gave him the best life he could have asked for (getting to go bird hunting)!
I'll throw in another vote for the bear tooth highway. Red Lodge is a cool town with some fun stuff to keep you busy for a couple days if you stayed that long. They have the yellowstone nature center, good restaurants, fly fishing, and camping that doesn't require a reservation.
I had covid about 2 weeks ago. Started with just feeling off and a fever for 2 days. After 2 days fever went away and I had a somewhat persistent cough. Cough lasted a couple days. Overall I was completely recovered in about a week. The wife also go covid, she had fatigue, cough and congestion...
I see the CWD justification but why not just increase the antlered buck tags by a specific %, then sample all those bucks just to see where you stand. Pushing it right into a general tag is just such a large step. I'd like to think the biologist knows best but it's just a bummer to know what's...
Eliminating the limited deer tags in the Snowcrests is insanity to me. Its going to be a massacre in there next year. As you said there are already so many hunters in there those deer wont stand a chance. I have to wonder how the outfitters in that area feel about it, on one hand I can see they...
I guess I'm not up to date on all the guy's video, not really a fan of his. The one I saw a few years ago was him in Texas somewhere perched up in a tree over a bait pile.
What's the purpose of shooting at an elk at 120 yards? Its all about his ego. There is so many variables taking a shot that far. If he really wants to prove how good of a hunter he is he should archery hunt using no calls, stalk in and only take shots under 20 yards. Arguably that would prove he...
