Never claimed to be an expert on anything. I was a founding member of Walleye’s Unlimited and was asked to help start a chapter in SD because of my experience with starting chapters of various conservation organizations. And i will not divulge anything more than that.
I have not heard anything about what the State of Montana F&G is doing to open up private land or access to public lands for hunting. Some states have some excellent programs, South Dakota has some great programs. The walk-in areas have been a huge success. Here in New Mexico we have the E-plus...
All I did was give you the facts as I know them to be....with credible news sources no less. I stated that you can make up your own minds. I gave my opinion and I have not seen any cogent debate going on (AT ALL) to change that opinion. I never said that TNC was evil or anything like that. In...
The reason why the black footed ferret is endangered is because they caught a virus from the PDs. When the PD population is too high, nature’s way is to first have the predators reduce the populations. Black footed Ferrets prey is primarily the PD. If the available predators cannot reduce the...
Recent acquisitions by APR have prompted me to do a little research into what is going on. I believe that it is the right thing to do, to share this information so that people can make up their own minds and not be “hood winked” by those who stand to gain and profit from these “land grabs”. We...
Why do you think so? Are you talking about wolves? I never said that they could, I said that they want to. I have found quite a bit of wanton BS on their website. Some of it laughable really. But, like i said it it is not the norm in other states Where they could certainly can.
do you people...
I believe you, but it certainly isn’t the norm. I have personally worked with F&G in another state to get it done. We wanted to re-introduce the game species in a portion of a NF that were wiped out by a fire. Several Enviro groups sued my organization, so we partnered with F&G to release the...
I do not know how Montana operates, but in other states, game species can be introduced on private property with the permission of the State F&G. If wolves are no longer on the list, or they can be hunted in the state, then you sure can introduce the species on private property. There were...
I was out doing my daily ranch chores. No holiday out here. I have Fences to fix but not much. I live on the open range where we have to brand our cattle. Gee, that sounds a lot like the Missouri Breaks now doesn’t it?
HIGH END SAFARIS was his EXACT words!
But that will change. “Five years from...
Have you fished or hunted the Breaks? Do you know or have you talked to any of the local ranchers? Have you even been there before? If the answer is no to any of the above questions, then who is talking out of who’s arse?
Conspiracy theories? man what are you smokin? If you have the answers...
That’s been my claim as well. There is an inherent danger of a private “non-profit” organization that manages wildlife. Wildlife is a public resource and should be managed by the public. That means the Montana fish and game and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Public land should be managed by all...
Any magnum is gonna kick. Of all that you listed i think the best cartridge for your needs may be 7mm-08. Recoil is manageable and you could take elk without being under gunned. The 25-06 will kick you Since it is just a necked down 30-06. To give you a comparison, my .270 win is a necked down...
Carbon steel blades can sharpen much better than stainless blades. It takes A lot longer to field dress an elk at night. That is when sharp knives really shine. Pulling off a cape makes things alot harder...a big bull has a very thick neck sheath to cut through. It takes a longer blade to hit...
