Somewhere around 20 years ago this very moment, I and another MFWP grunt were sitting staring out the window of the FWP Gallatin Canyon Game Check Station. The rush of Thanksgiving morning hunters had long since checked through and they were home bloated and watching football. My comrade and I...
Thankful I'm a member of what a friend of mine calls "the lucky sperm club", having been haplessly born here:
And for all those that made/make the above a reality (for people like me), that looked at thankfulness as the following:
This American public lands thing is a big deal, people even...
Open an agenda item cover sheet - enjoy the alien hieroglyphics. (unless it's just my PC)
I spent 30 plus years on the inside bitching upon professional, educated, bureaucratic deaf ears about these simplest of issues (as the cover sheet gibberish-and others) - problems - to remedy.
And spent...

Received this from one of the the evil leftist enviro groups.
For us concerned public land hunters concerned about this specific issue - elections have consequences.
The 2016 election got us the administration that...
Sportsmen/women of Montana reap what they sow.
I used to somewhat regularly check legally blind hunters into regulated hunts - they had an assistant to SHOOT a weapon at a game animal.
People over a certain age only need a conservation license to fish - instead of ALL honoring the age old...
A small and inadequate tribute to Mr. Schoonen's influence on my Montana experience(s).

He was a Butte guy who probably seldom "rested". If there's a Big Hole River in heaven, he's on it. If there's hell in heaven, he's raisin' it.
From the above article.....

Yes, many do book up right away. But many do not. Mid September I booked two days on an R7 place for the antelope opener.
And many in R6 and R7 are type ones - no reservations required. Easy info to pass along to an inquirer.
I just left a 30+ year career at MFWP. I answered countless phone calls, including recommendations regarding "what's a good BMA"??. I surveyed about 100 mountain lakes and fielded countless questions about "which lake has....". Always answered to the best of my ability.
I never told a single...
Yup. So, stop talkin' and start walkin'. I, for one, will be watching how it plays out. Go get em............................................................
Another great read here. Read carefully and see the pertinence to so many topics on this website. Views of someone who saw everything through the eyes of a sportsman.
My old girl and I got this rooster this morning on, fittingly, Montana State Land. Again, thanks Tony Sr., et al...
And Mr. Schoonen was a Butte guy.
A Butte sportsman.
Called BS on BS. Always with pro sportsmen/women's interests in mind. Always.
Something becoming more and more rare.
I have often shared the salmonfly hatch camp at Divide MT with dose butte guyz. Tony's Sr.'s legacy is evident while in...

Thanks, Kat.
THE premier stream access law in America right here in Montana.
Thank You Tony Sr., et al.
One of the few who helped give so many such major privilege(s). True definition of legacy.
Now floating...
Just another discussion which illustrates why I chose to "retire" at age 56 - still very able, willing, and competent - from what was probably the best job in the world. Being an integral part of the management of some of the best fish and wildlife resources in America. 16,000+/- square miles...
Al Gore's www is a funny thing.
Those on here who assume I made a lot of assumptions before I posted what I did, also assume I would have posted what I did without knowing - for a fact - that what I posted wasn't based on assumption(s).
Having worked with and for hunters (of all ages) for a...
