@8CornPiles&Counting Your questions were answered now I have a few. Exactly how much land did you inherit and how many disabled children do you allow to shoot deer off your bait piles? Do you find that plain corn works ok or do you spring for something more high end like "Acorn Rage" or...
It’s pretty crafty of the sponsor to divert the funds the way he did with the false dichotomy. Who could vote against funding to police, child abuse prosecutors, veterans etc. Someone must really want Habitat Montana defunded.
I saw lots of government bureau chiefs testify in favor of the...
Even libertarian leaning Port calls this for what it is:

I'm honestly trying to follow along, but I'm afraid I'm not mentally flexible enough to keep up with your Twister game of logic. Folks here are agreeing that bows are too advanced so I don't see what there is to argue about?
Your position that technology has gone too far so we should take it...
Just so I understand correctly, your argument here is technology has gone too far so we should take it further. Is that correct?
Like others in this thread I'd say technology has gone too far so we should rein it in.
Much like baiting in North Dakota or buying guided tags in Utah, this is...
@Johnarman Now we are all curious, what did you talk about? What are your ideas for the best path forward here? This would be a great opportunity to say your piece to a large audience.
Check out the information our neighboring state provides: population counts, long term trends, age structure, success rates by unit, harvest age structure, hunter satisfaction etc. It's all there. I want this in Montana.

The more I learn about Lewis and Clark and their expedition the more amazed I am. Those dudes were badass. The story of Lewis’ all night 100 mile ride across the plains through a lightning storm to escape the Blackfeet is the stuff of legends. If you want to do a deeper dive ‘Undaunted...
Not that Minnesota is the gold standard for state government, but their online real-time deer harvest tracker is pretty neat. Seems like a seasonal IT intern could probably keep it running too. Would this be so hard to implement in Montana...
That bull could end up like this one. Saw this good ol' boy shelling out nearly $2000 at a used furniture store to hang an elk he did not shoot over his fireplace in Whitefish. I don't understand why you'd do this? #JustLikeYellowstone
2022 public land archery. Played cat and mouse with this bull and his cows for four days before I got the wind I needed to sit right in their feeding area. They came out right on time and he slowly fed in to 50 yards. A cow busted me as I drew, but he didn't react fast enough. After the shot...
I attended the elk scoping meeting for Region 1 in Kalispell. About 30 sportsmen attended along with the FWP biologists, wardens, and the elk plan organizer from Helena. I don't think any of my notes are news to anyone here, but I'll share them anyway.
We discussed current objective numbers...
