More Permanent Outfitters on Beaverhead Deer lodge NF
While the B-D recently backed off on offering 20,000 more outfitted client days, they are now proposing to grant nearly 3000 client days to outfitters by converting their temporary or even outfitters without any permit quasi-permanent "Priority Use" status without giving people a chance to... -

Triple the Outfitter/Guide Client Days on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest
The new B-D proposal beginning July 1 is to make PERMANENT the 50 existing TEMPORARY outfitter permits. They are proposing to use the abbreviated "Categorical Exclusion" process instead of doing an environmental assessment. There are many issues that should mandate at least an Environmental... -

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Current FWP Director and all Commission members were both appointed by the current Governor(largely outfitters, landowners and an oil and gas guy). Any FWP leader that speaks up is being forced out. Decisions are now centralized and biologists don't dare speak out. Voting matters. -

Voting Hunters
INFORMED voting matters. Too many vote party line without realizing the consequences of their vote. Most want balance. In Montana the current "super majority" in the Legislature and the Governor of the same party has had a major run of bad bills, the worst only to be overruled by the Montana...- Flynarrow

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
The Rut illegal stuff doesnt stop with mule deer. Years ago in mid Nov near Trego I had killed a decent whitetail with my longbow and by the time I packed it out it was dark. As I drove down the road it looked like I was the only one not using a spotlight. As I rounded each curve the pickup... -

throwing good app money after bad and repeat
Back in the early 60s I drew an Idaho archery goat permit on the first ever archery only hunt ever offered in Idaho.. There were 10 tags. I was the ONLY applicant.

Gun Owners Don't Vote
As one who has many guns and uses them frequently I am tired of campaigns that claim Candidate Y will take your guns. The Supreme Court has ruled quite explicitly that no person or legislative body will take your guns. Yes, there could eventually be some regulations about such things as large...- Flynarrow

Fishery vs. wildlife
Dang I wanted to stay out of this.....But....... The Governor picked the past and current FWP Director as well as the Commission. The Governor tries to stay removed but isnt. He is the responsible party. The current bloodletting in the Dept started with his appointed Directors. The... -

Help stop the evisceration of Montana's FWP
The lead FWP Fisheries Administrator, Eileen Ryce, was recently put on "administrative leave" for undisclosed reasons. The FWP Director has been systematically removing several mid and head administrators for dubious reasons. Some inside the Dept have confirmed that the atmosphere inside the... -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Some good intentions on this thread.....BUT with a Commission largely made up of large landowners and outfitters the real options at this point are limited to those which will benefit large landowners and outfitters. No joe blow average sportsmen are represented. And a Governor who appointed... -

Alaska's Rivers Of Rust.
A lot of Alaska's streams have flows influenced by melting permafrost each summer so future lack of permafrost will influence those streamflows. Mass wasting of stream banks into the rivers is already occurring as well. Combined with warming oceans, the long term outlook for salmon is not...- Flynarrow

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
1983....15,000+ archery licenses. 2024.....60,000+ archery stamps if Im not mistaken.......a 4x increase in bowhunting pressure. Back then if we heard a bugle, it was likely a bull elk, Now if you hear a bugle, it is likely another hunter.....or two. Bowhunters are increasingly pushing elk... -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Like most issues in our country....follow the money. Everytime FWP uses "opportunity" ....try substituting "revenue" and see if it doesn't fit as well or even better. Like a lot of agencies, their fixed costs have grown so....personnel, infrastructure, long term obligations.....have got them... -

School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country
Once I ignored some fresh griz scat....stepping over it and proceeding less than 50 yards when a giant head poked up behind a dead elk (not mine) at 20 yards. I slowly backed up until 50 yards and scattled. Fresh is fresh....like hours or less old tracks going down a trail you are on would...- Flynarrow

School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country
I've spent 45 years bow hunting/fishing in griz country in MT, WY, ID, AK and Russia. A few close calls to learn from. I have been seriously charged and lost a nice moose to a grizz. Clean camp......no snacks in tent, no food cooked in camp, no food stored in camp. Hang your food 10 feet up...- Flynarrow
