2023 Colorado Sheep & Goat Results
At nearly 80 I can look back and be very appreciative of 1) a very different era and 2) putting in for lots of limited hunts back when it was feasible to draw. 4 bighorn ram permits (Colorado, Idaho, Wy, MT), a bison (UT), 6 moose (UT, WY, ID, 3 MT) , 4 goats (CO, ID, 2 MT), plus multiple elk...- Flynarrow

SB 298 - Crossbow bill rears its ugly head
This bill is the camels nose under the tent. Crossbow manufacturers love those who are the front people touting just helping the disabled. But history of other states show that the ease of getting a physician to sign a form creates overwhelming demand which causes States to rollover to... -

SB 298 - Crossbow bill rears its ugly head

What Has Montana's Stream Access Law Meant To You?
Thanks for reminding us what we have and could lose without constant vigilance. It would be interesting to see how much economic benefit Montana's stream access provides Montana. Sure the traveling fisherman or floater brings in a lot of money, but perhaps even bigger is that stream access is...- Flynarrow

Will the Great Salt Lake dry up?
GSL starved for water is just one more symptom that we have surpassed our human carrying capacity by gradually destroying our own habitat. Of course, other living beings, having no voice will suffer along with us.- Flynarrow

Please Help Habitat Montana
Right now is your best opportunity to help wildlife habitat in Montana. SB442 has been amended by sponsor Lang in the last couple of days to provide substantial funding for Habitat Montana, as was directed when the Citizens of Montana voted to legalize marijuana. Several bills attacking... -

SB 497 - Attack on Stream Access
If you care about your kids or grandkids fishing opportunities, you had better get into action NOW on SB 497. And if you voted for the "conservative" clowns that are working hard at destroying Montana's outdoor opportunities, I wish you would keep this in mind next time before you vote. -

Gird your loins.
I have also been tracking" Ranching For Wildlife" Programs like are ongoing in NM, UT and CO......and similar give aways have started in Montana. After the Legislatures in those states give away a % of elk tags to "Ranchers/Landowners" via some enabling legislation, it isnt very many years... -

Non resident Landowner incentive.
Please explain why the opportunity for landowner tags does not increase the incentive for non residents to buy large blocks of Montana land. -

Monster Day at the Montana Capitol
Unfortunately we are seeing the attacks on wildlife, public lands, the initiative process, the judiciary by the majority of those who we voted for. As Ron Moody, former Lewistown FWP Commissioner reminded us before his passing "95% of Legislative decisions are made on Election Day". You can't... -

Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance
Habitat security is necessary if we want lengthy unrestricted hunting seasons and mature animals and big game residing on public land. Every convenience that makes human access easier or faster reduces habitat security. That includes constructed trails, horses, ebikes, motorbikes,and atvs. It...- Flynarrow

Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!
For over 20 years I taught bowhunter education. The course (before computerized) was well designed and taught by largely well experienced bowhunters. The emphasis throughout was to only shoot within your effective range....meant that over 90% of your shots had to be in the kill zone. At the... -

Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!
Thanks to an extreme 2A Legislator's bill a few years ago, the Legislature too away the authority of the FG Commission to regulate any firearm, ammunition or accessory used for hunting. Any change in equipment would have to go through the Legislature now....fat chance. -

Montana mule deer rant
Most sportsmen IMO believe that if FWP didn't want deer killed they wouldn't sell tags. A sportsmen with a tag in their pocket believes they are justified and honorable in taking whatever the regulations allow. Of course, FWP tag sale decisions are based on REVENUE but FWP uses the... -

Montana FWP should improve elk management
Sportsmen never seem to learn that voting matters. The Elk Management Plan was developed under a Governor who appointed mainly ranchers to her commission which used "landowner tolerance" to set elk number objectives . Then there was a conservative legislator from Dillon area who pushed through... -

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
"Shifting baseline syndrome" is a term which fits the trend of quality expectations of most Montana hunters perfectly. The term is exemplified by dockside photos of trophy fish at Key West between 1957 and 2007. Average weight of fish diminished by 90% but the smiles of the anglers stayed...
