I have used the 100 gr Hornady Interlock in my 243 for over 35 years on deer and antelope. It just makes the animal sick when they get hit. Seldom do they ever go over 50 yds. Killed an antelope with 1 shot at 419 yds. Don't tear up the meat either. Great bullet!!
I know I indicated that I would not repost on this thread, but out of the quagmire a possible solution has come to mind. Since the discussion has moved onto the need for reporting as a wildlife management tool, I think all the parties on this thread should join together to sponsor a bill in the...
Recently, there have been articles/blogs written pertaining to Maps that were purported to show the amount of outfitted/leased acreage in Montana. Before discussing the map issue, it is important to point out some pertinent facts.
First, in the United States we have what are generally called...
Big fan of Savage rifles. One suggestion, re-mount the scope to insure that the screws have been tightened securely and set with lock-tite. I had one that after a few rounds the grouping kept getting broader. The screws were not tight. Did some research and found others who had the same problem.
I own several savage rifles and love them. My favorite is my 7mm model 116 with the accu trigger and accu stock. The load I use is 63 gr of IMR 4831 topped by a 160 gr Nosler Partition bullet. Have used this load for 40 years and it has always worked for me, even have killed 2 moose with it...
Knew both of them as well. Jen responded to an illegal elk killed I reported. Took her to the kill site and helped with the carcass. Seem like a nice lady. Known Joe for several years. Mental illness is so very difficult to understand. Scary stuff!!
One thing that needs to be considered on the potential land grab is that if it does actually move forward, at some point in time it will likely end up in the United States Supreme Court. Who gets nominated and appointed could have a tremendous impact on the final decision regarding public lands...
An outstanding piece of writing that talks about the present but also provides a insight as to what the future may hold if the American public does not get heavily involved!
The EMP states that those elk that live primarily on private land during the general season then those elk are NOT to be counted in the objective number. FWP has perpetuated the myth of over objective for many years in most of those units in the eastern half of the state. Check pages 55, 61-62...
Just for the record, these shoulder seasons are not necessarily being proposed by the biologists, but instead, at times, by people above them, in either their region or perhaps even by Helena FWP.
Not sure if either of the brothers is a member of Hunt Talk but I received a personal email from one of them asking me to thank everyone for their help and participation. These are 2 great guys with hearts of gold.
From them, thanks to all who are supporting this endeavor!!!!

I have hunted in northern New Mexico several years, stayed in the same cabin that Randy mentioned and am proud to call these 2 brothers friends. They both have a heart of gold!! One of the brothers comes up to Bozeman to snowmobile with my partner. I am sure they will appreciate any help with...

Somewhere around 6-10 years ago they extended the season in parts of Region 3 including Paradise Valley where I was hunting and bulls were legal during the extended season.
Under the current shoulder season proposal, the shoulder season could allow bull hunting as well as cow hunting. Along with the shoulder seasons, the MT FWP is trying to amend the game damage and management season wording to add a new category of selecting the hunters "or lists of names...
