Montana extends season (whitetail) for CWD
I don't recall all that much from junior high science class, but if you come up with a theorem and a hypothesis but don't ever collect enough information to form a conclusion, you don't have much of a project. -
Soups/stews
This is another good one I've made, and would likely work well with pheasant. https://magnolia.com/tortilla-soup-recipe/- d-edward

Soups/stews
This is one of my favorites. I was skeptical the first time I made it when I read the word "kale" too, but it tastes just fine cooked into the broth. Extra sausage is the only way to go, especially with all the veggies in it. I prefer using rutabaga to potatoes.- d-edward

WTB Swaro SLC Binos
Ugh. You’re right - that was not descriptive. New to me. Used, normal wear and tear in good condition. Trying to upgrade from current pair of Nikons. Looked through some Swaros and Mavens this fall... no going back now.- d-edward

Below average hunter numbers and harvest???
No argument here on your first point. There are absolutely fiscal, temporal and logistical challenges to gaining a complete picture. What I’m critiquing is the approach to data collection that the accuracy today is “Meh, good enough.” There are ways to work with the above constraints and...- d-edward

Below average hunter numbers and harvest???
Definitely agree that the postseason surveys are a more accurate measure, but there's nothing compulsory about answering the calls from the nice old ladies doing the surveys when they call in the evening, either. Again, it's just an incomplete picture. And I think I saw in another thread here...- d-edward

Below average hunter numbers and harvest???
It's just that these types of season progress reports frustrate me. I don't want to turn this into another bash FWP thread, but the numbers and observations in the article aren't any more accurate than my anecdotal observations while out hunting this fall. Was it a tough fall to find animals...- d-edward

Below average hunter numbers and harvest???
Another example of FWP using narrow, distorted KPIs to inaccurately assess hunt participation and success. Bad data leads to bad decision making for wildlife management.- d-edward

Montana OTC non resident B tags
A good starting point would be to check the surplus tag availability on FWP’s site under the hunting section. I haven’t looked for a few weeks, but they regularly update the PDF throughout hunting season with OTC tags still available for purchase via the portal. I would advise being more... -
I need help.
I would second this. I have a Tikka chambered in .243. I find myself reaching for it first for deer and antelope, given how accurate and lightweight it is. -

Unlimited Vacation
This is accurate from a company perspective - virtually eliminates vacation liability on the books. My company does this. In terms of advice, I would recommend putting the number of days/weeks you expect to take off during the course of the year (and hunting season) on the calendar as much in...- d-edward
