Do you use a scope with target turrets?
My vote would be similar to what Utah proposed in some units, open sight only rifles and primitive bows for archery season (recurve or longbow).- sclancy27

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
I suggest getting the "Stay Sharp" replaceable blade guide if you don't have it already. I sharpen to 2500 grit and strop.- sclancy27

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
I've shot bulls out to 70 with no penetration problems on the 2" mech. I can definitely see his perspective if he is shooting a normal setup (60-70 lbs and 425-450gr arrow). The point is people need to be thoughtful on their arrow setup that it is fitting their needs and not some internet...- sclancy27

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
80lbs, 28.5" draw, 495gr arrow. I haven't shot through a chrono in years, but I imagine it is 280 fps +/-. I do carry fixed heads in my quiver (they fly the same as the big mechs out to 60 or so before the extra drag starts affecting them more) in case of a frontal or hard quartering shot that...- sclancy27

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
It's not just goats. Pretty much the same thing for bulls. I have two sub-15 yard bulls I've shoulder knuckled. I gotta hit a beach ball at 12 yards but I laser it right into the baseball bat. Interestingly, my positive results with everything are heavy skewed in favor of giant expandable...- sclancy27

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
Anecdotally, my worst outcomes have been on the short shots with antelope. Within 35-40 yards there is just no way they aren't aware of me for whatever reason. The "further" shots its easier for me to draw and shoot without being detected. I'm not dropping bombs @ 100, but probably outside...- sclancy27

Bowhunters - not a big impact?
With archery, there is no way to separate wounding loss and total loss (death) out. I've wounded bulls (shoulder or high above lungs) and seen them weeks later rutting cows and fighting other bulls. I've also found many a broadhead (among other wounds) in bulls that I shot that had completely...- sclancy27

Opening weekend of archery. My biggest archery buck, mass was excellent. -
Why so little support among hunters for growing game populations?
Ultimately, it's because most of the variables controlling numbers are the ones we have the least control over and the ones that take the longest to change.- sclancy27

Solo Elk hunting
I'm strictly a "cut em off" guy. About the only calling I do is locating. Now, I will and have called in bulls for others. It's interesting hearing solo callers strategies tho. -

Weight Loss Drugs
Yes you can. It works just fine for the vast majority (90+%) of humans. Yes, it does not work for athletes/very muscular people. However, being very muscular is hard on your body's systems as well, keep that in mind. I think the most interesting thing about Oz is it really removes the...- sclancy27

Solo Elk hunting
Shooting an elk too far from the road solo. I've had to call in backup a couple times. Other than that, I love hunting solo. -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
I worked in 2 different agencies (FWP as a fisheries intern and WYGFD doing tech work) and the Feds working with FWP on projects. I left fisheries work to do engineering for a couple reasons, but a big one was how unbelievably political state game agencies, particularly FWP, can be. And this... -
