    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Isn’t what is happening now creating the two smaller cans? I understand it is about the $$$, which is why they can’t stop the resell, but if you want to stop the return madness, just flip the drawing sequence.

    Utah People, thoughts on this?

    They have been announcing themselves loud and clear for years. They have never had to pay for it, and instead just get by with an "aw-shucks, you will be fine" to the constituency. I'm sure Knudson is itching to sign off on this, but can't square the circle with his position on not wanting the...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I think the group was clear they (at least most members) proceeded forward with the goal of working within the confines of reality, both social acceptable and budgetary.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Ever think of proposing the blatantly obvious and having FWP do the LE draws first and then assigning winners the appropriate critter tag? I assume that not getting an LE tag is what is driving all the returns. @Ben Lamb explaining the MT tag system and how the money works. I think he is one...

    Utah People, thoughts on this?

    There is a more extensive list in the article below. (Apparently all that Federal land in Iowa is a problem for that state.) It isn't donors, it a core party principle. Eventually people will believe politicians when they say they are going to do something. By then it will probably be too late...

    Utah People, thoughts on this?

    Not a shock. Can’t wait to read it. You have to be drinking antifreeze to make sense out of the logic in the statement below. “Hageman and the Utah delegation argue that the federal government’s ownership of land in Western states denies them equal statehood and representation when compared to...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Looking at it this way just shows that FWP has no idea where those hunters are or what they are doing and begs for it to be split and tracked. For example, every one of the combo's comes with an upland bird license but it is unrealistic to assume they are all in the field hunting grouse or...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I have seen the Montana Legislature propose and pass some bat-shit crazy ideas that were WAY more complicated than changing that. ...including the people that live there.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Residents get to hunt deer for about $0.62/day, and that is all-in. Seems like a good price to take your rifle for a hike.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Exactly. But all that being a legit gripe, I found MT residents being the largest offenders of setting up huge camps on the prime public land spots 3-5 days before the season started and not taking them down until the Thanksgiving tradition hunt was over. Start printing the bumper stickers…...

    Yep, they stand out like a 3- plate.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I think you guys did a good job. Sorry, I'm a little sensitive to the blaming of others for issues wholly in your control. I have a 10yr old and it's the default response I hear daily. I found it odd coming from the outfitter. Apparently Eric doesn't have any clients from WA. The good news is...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I didn’t see the humor. The problem is the more it is parroted the higher chance of someone doing something stupid like vandalism or verbal confrontations. We have all heard those stories. And if you don’t like NRs, PAY MORE FOR YOUR TAGS!

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    There is no reason to call out a specific state. I have seen plates from Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and a variety of other states. I'm sure he has no problem with clients from any of those states hiring him because their money spends just as easily. He also blamed coyotes. Maybe those...

    I think it was Eric that kept bringing that up. Clearly he has a problem with the state.

    Montana season structure proposal 2.0

    FWP (and MT hunters approve) treat antelope like a finite resource with local populations being affected by a variety of natural factors as well as hunting and are quick to adjust tag numbers in reaction to the changes in the variables. In contrast, FWP treat deer like an infinite resource...

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    I agree with your assessment and like I said, I couldn't do that job. Often it's a tax/funding issue. See the various threads complaining about property taxes. In WA, resources are provided for those special-needs kids you mentioned. As long as the kids demonstrate they can adapt and...

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    I think we can agree Scott Walker is a jackass. But the end result is the decision is yours. Another election is coming up. Maybe others will be triggered by this discussion to reexamine their vote…but I doubt it.

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    If there is something in the new contract you don’t like, you can leave. But it was voted on by the union, so most agreed with the structure. I’m sure it doesn’t work for everyone, maybe you. But I am sure that teaching in the fall has been pretty standard in every state since the 19th century...

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    It took you 22yrs to figure out teaching demands your time during a hunting season?
