Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Follow the money. Non residents are loved by FWP because they pay a large percentage of FWPs budget. `Therefore FWP isn't going to willingly turn down the faucet. FWP has little flexibility due to the fixed costs of their budget. They have tweaked the license structure to allow more non... -

Triple the Outfitter/Guide Client Days on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest
Wonder why the EA talks to negligible effects of additional hunting and fishing guiding then? Likely no opportunity for future public comment.....you walk in and want to be a B-D outfitter and walk out with a permit. Doesn't seem to recognize the potential impact on the current resident... -

Triple the Outfitter/Guide Client Days on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest
If you hunt, fish or otherwise recreate on the B-D, you may be interested to learn that the B-D has just released a draft Environmental Assessment offering opportunity to comment on their proposal: Authorize a triple of outfitter/guide client days from 13,000 client days to over 33,000 client... -

2023-2024 Chukar Adventures
Can you imagine what a wild chukar thinks of seeing of their relatives....penned raised chukars planted in a wheat field? No matter how high you climb, chukars are always cackling a few hundred vertical above you. Killing a chukar and seeing it crumpled and crashing a few hundred vertical...- Flynarrow

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Follow the MONEY! Frankly, FWP has little wiggle room to adjust license and tag sales (revenue). Their staff and overhead eat up most of their budget, which is a cumulation of many sources, but licenses and tags are a large part of it. Each time we hear FWP tout "opportunity" we can easily... -

Idaho 27-1 Sheep
A buddy and I drew 27-2 I believe ...in 1981. We intended to bowhunt so we only had bows the first 12 days in.....no mature rams. We were backpacking, including our water, up 2000-3000 vertical and glassing until we ran out of water, decending to float a short ways and climb back up. Then...- Flynarrow

SB 298 - Crossbow bill rears its ugly head
My comment to commissioners Again and again Molnar shows up in favor of crossbows. He is tenacious for sure. Some time ago I, representing Montana Bowhunters, put on a series of workshops across the state to introduce handicapped to opportunities to use the Permit to Modify Archery Equipment... -

Tolke Whip 54# bow, 2216 easton shafts and magnus 2 blade broadhead. Ram was killed in the exact area now covered by the River Road East fire started a couple of days ago. Opening up that mountain with fire should help that sheep herd in the future.- Flynarrow

Montana Elk Management Survey Results
Well said Shoots.....my W MT take is similiar. Public land management is important to elk mgmt but important elements of the new EMP emphasis on Habitat is largely unachievable in the short term. Most W MT forested elk habitat needs more fire. I recently saw where the Bitterroot was using a... -

Montana Moose Tag
Where summer habitat is very good, bulls can be pretty sedentary UNTIL the rut starts. If you want this bull, be there on opening day....before he begins to think about girls. -

I have advocated for the continuation of Montana's UL sheep hunts simply because I want any dedicated hunter of average means to have the opportunity to hunt sheep somewhere sometime. I had the opportunity to trad bowhunt sheep in Idaho, MT, Colorado and WY over the years just because I...- Flynarrow

This is your property classification and appraisal notice
Your super-majority party of the Legislature just chose to dramatically lower business equipment taxes, which further shifts tax burden onto residental property owners. And they continually vote down options for local communities to raise revenue via tourism, etc. And of course, most of them... -

Who has done a diy mountain goat hunt in the lower 48?
It was a great run before compounds flooded archery. In about 1962 I drew an Idaho archery-only goat permit. I killed one with my trad bow. Later I found out I was the only applicant for the 10 permits available.- Flynarrow

Who has done a diy mountain goat hunt in the lower 48?
Over the years I have taken 6 DIY all with traditional archery equipment. Idaho, Montana, Colorado. The first one was when I was 20 yo, the last one I was 72 yo. All solo. I don't advocate solo as I had a couple of scary close calls, but good choices knowing you are solo makes fewer serious...- Flynarrow

Beaver Hunting?
Truth be known, my Alaska hunting partner and I killed one with our bows in the late 70s.....as food when the plane was a week late coming to get us due to weather issues. It wasnt bad meat given all we had was a few dried potatoes to eat for the week. However, after parting it out and eating...- Flynarrow

Beaver Hunting?
Beaver in the West contribute so much wetland habitat for other species including furbearers, waterfowl, fish, amphibians, moose, as well as water storage in streambanks. Not that taking one would likely devastate a colony, but loss of beaver colonies does have consequences.- Flynarrow

Porcupines
A friend lost his Airdale on its 18th porky....they don't learn without some help. Some anti porky gun dog training sessions are advertised along with anti rattler and anti skunk. Personally my pointing dogs wear shock collars and as soon as I can tell it is a porky they get a high level...- Flynarrow
