Montanans how long since your last mule deer
IIRC, it's been since 2010 and I've "eaten" a number of doe tags since, with concern about population decline. However, my grandsons have taken some nice ones that I might have taken otherwise.- Straight Arrow

Make the case for federalizing game species
That silly statement has oft been repeated by the "Freemen" and others who have used it as an excuse not to sign a mortgage deal or purchase property or a home, and more broadly to carp about and/or refuse to pay taxes and about the evil gubment at each level ... local, county, state, and...- Straight Arrow

Sunday Pic of the Day
Saturday night featured the local play and auction to support the Gallatin Gateway Community Center. My wife's triple berry pie went for $175. (I had sent the photo to a bachelor friend and he "bit" for the high bid.) I was lucky recipient of a slice of the second pie. I can tell you the...- Straight Arrow

Oh, the irony!
Yes, the seemingly indefatigable fragrant flatulence frequently filling this forum causes one to consider the ignore button. But it's kinda like a bad movie ... you disappointingly continue hoping for a better scene (post).- Straight Arrow

Those staunch NRA members and radical 2A protectors spend enough time at the range that they can take a goose with a 22-250 head shot! ;)- Straight Arrow

Oh, the irony!
The reality is that this issue is prominent only in the relatively sparsely populated western states. As expressed, for a state like Iowa the support is mostly for political quid pro quo. But, again, it's a party platform item. Unfortunately at this juncture, my perception is that the...- Straight Arrow

Yes! And part of the hard work is getting Congress to fund management of Federal Public Lands adequately.- Straight Arrow

Oh, the irony!
The problem is that Federal Public Land Transfer is a Republican Platform agenda goal at the national as well as at the Montana state level. Sooo ... those Republicans we have elected who are in favor of PLT are representing their party. :mad:- Straight Arrow

Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.
This thread addressing extreme hunting pressue is going sideways. 'Don't think for some time this forum has seen such confusion and/or ignorance about states rights, federal public lands, and wildlife held in trust for the citizens of states in which they reside. So much has been explained...- Straight Arrow

Fighting cancer
Best wishes and prayers for your Mom. No ... there isn't anything funny about it all. It is fearsome, worrisome, and a strong personal signal of one's mortality.

Small towns supporting high school sports
Small town sports is not a small thing. Montana PBS has a documentary called Class C Basketball, which is a great illustration of the importance of small school girls' basketball. Some of the teams are even a combination of small school girls from schools which have to unite to form a team...- Straight Arrow
