    Mandatory Black Bear Harvest Reporting Change

    From what I have seen and heard through FWP public meetings, a majority of Montana sportsmen and women are against this proposal. Similarly, I have heard from several FWP biologists that the current law is not a burden on them or their time. The Region 4 CAC, of which I am on, has formally...

    Mountain Whitetail Hunting, Reflection - New Year, New Adventures.

    Good discussion. I was a hardcore mountain whitetail hunter for a short window in the early 90's which I refer to as the glory days of mountain whitetail hunting in NW Montana. The Forest Service and private timber companies especially were clear cutting entire sections of land which turned...

    you got the "big bull" tag?

    Great writeup Luke! I was feeling guilty knowing the ending while most reading this thread didn't LOL. Glad I could offer some advice and thoughts along the way but you put in the time and effort - congrats on a great bull and a season you will never forget!

    Alberta Ram

    I was thinking 15" and 36" so wasn't too far off. Thanks for sharing and congrats again on taking a great ram!

    Alberta Ram

    Looks great - congrats on a very nice ram! For those of us who like to guestimate on horn length and mass, have you put a tape to the horns? I'd be curious the length of the horns and the mass at the base.

    Montana Region 3 Sportsmen Working Group

    A few random thoughts.... FWP staff are routinely on Hunt Talk although most do not post. They do follow these discussions. During my 30 year career I have always gotten better responses from clients, colleagues, agencies, etc. who I didn't bash on public forums. It is fine to disagree with...

    Feeling Especially Grateful for our Military

    As opening day of archery is set to begin this Saturday in Montana, my boys and I will be out chasing elk around...a time honored tradition in our family. I know that these family traditions would not be possible without the U.S. Armed Forces protecting our freedoms and our land. With the...

    Bugle Report

    Last Friday we saw a young 5x6 hanging with the ladies but no bugling during the short time we watched them. Saturday saw a herd of 30-40 cows and couldn't see that there was a bull with them - there was no bugling in the woods that morning where we were. It's fixing to start real soon though...

    MT - Changes in Hunting Regs/Units/Seasons coming this month

    These meetings will likely be an open house type setting where you can show up and talk to FWP staff and provide written and verbal comment but don't expect to go there and listen to lengthy presentations from FWP. There might be something at the start but then it will be informal which makes...

    Outfitter Permit Expansion in the Elkhorns (HD 380)

    It was recently brought to my attention that Montana Trophy Outfitters has applied to the BLM to expand their permit area by 50,000 acres in the south portion of HD380. Here is a link to the BLM webpage that describes the proposal and has some maps showing the location...

    Elkhorns Grizzly

    Grizzlies are few and far between in the Elkhorns and certainly haven't become established. If it gives you comfort to have spray on you, then by all means carry it. In all my years in the Elkhorns I have only seen grizzly bear sign one time - 2014 in the Tizer Basin area. There were multiple...

    Finding deer in mountains

    Mountain hunting for whitetails in parts of Idaho and Montana has changed a bunch in the last 20 years or so with the reestablishment of wolves on the landscape and reduced timber harvest. Prior to wolves and when timber harvest was still extensive, whitetails would readily use clear cuts...

    MT 380-01 Cow Elk Tag

    Coming in from Radersburg provides some good opportunities but so does the Boulder area. Not sure if you plan to bow hunt or rifle or both. There are some early rifle hunts that occur over in the Boulder area on BMA's so you end up with rifle and bow hunters going after the same animals - I...

    MT 380-01 Cow Elk Tag

    Mike, There is plenty of "open" country in the south portion of the district. Well worth it to sacrifice an evening or a morning and glass from a high vantage point and then plan a hunt for the next morning or evening based on the elk you spot. If you are willing to put in the effort, you...

    What questions should I ask the biologist

    I've enjoyed reading the comments so far - there is some good advice here. So I am a 30 year professional wildlife biologist (not with a state fish and game department) and soooo many people assume that because I am a biologist, I know where every elk and deer lives and so they come to me for...

    900-20 Montana archery elk outfitter recommendations...

    Not sure you will get much help here on the forums. You may want to contact Montana FWP's Region 7 office in Miles City. They may have a list of outfitters. Or just google search for outfitters in the Miles City area. Talk to the outfitters and call their references. I wouldn't waste too much...

    Any fiddle players??

    Sounds like you have a wonderful appreciation for the fiddle and fiddle tunes - that's awesome. I am pretty close with my sister and we talk often so I will ask her about good online resources for learning the fiddle and see who she knows in sunny southern Cali that you might be able to talk to...

    Any fiddle players??

    It's funny, my sister, who is a very talented fiddle player is learning guitar now at age 55 and her guitar playing husband is learning the fiddle. They are in a number of bands in the Seattle area and mostly play Irish/Scottish/Celtic music. So much fun to listen to them play. My sister does...
