I suppose if it’s a problem we either gotta put more animals on the landscape or less tags in peoples pockets. like when there’s a drought or disease and biologists adjust quotas,dates, etc. People are more successful because they are better marksman and technology, adjust the rules. Too bad so...
We should go back to 1/2-whole minute of animal holds. When I was a kid growing up hunting can’t tell you how many stories I heard from those ethical old timers. They were so proud they could whack a deer at 3-500 by holding x number of deer bodies over it with their 06 or 7mm or whatever other...
This is Montana, constitutional concealed carry without a permit. I stay away from circuses though cause I’m scared of clowns. And I own a whole lot of black guns with all sorts of fancy fixins. I’m not trying to be the test subject between open carry and probable cause. Seems like unnecessary...
My daughters and I pulled truckloads of trash out of Logan when we lived in Belgrade and three forks. 10 years ago I would put 4 t posts, 4 sections of chain a 8” and 10” piece of steel and hike out to various distances, shoot em, then go back and get em. Nobody there on weekdays. Shot a decent...
This poor little fellow won’t survive the fall. Hanging out in heavy grizzly country and 100 yards from a trailhead parking lot. Stalked to within 30 yards with a 6 y/o and a 9 y/o wearing bright clothing. Poor guy! I’ll pray for him.
If you shoot on that blm north of Billings you learn to take your guns and ammo with you to adjust targets on a “cold” range.
The world I grew up in, if you touched your ammo or gun while people were down range a guy that had veins popping out of his head who was still reliving Nam was in your...
Yea seen that lots of times. Always cringe.
One time I was hiking in the breaks with one of my daughters. She was 12 at the time, first year hunting, Covid times so online hunter safety. Going up a hill and turn around to see her behind me, muzzle of her unloaded rifle pointed at my ass. I...
I’ll preface this by saying I’m not new to seeing stupid people with guns. I’m at the range at least once a week, thousands of days in duck blinds with people of all experience levels, long range shooting matches, indoor ranges, etc. Seen my share of folks with terrible gun etiquette, flagging...
A good hunter is someone or something that thinks like it’s prey. You know the weakness of your prey because you know its thoughts and behavior. You know what it’s going to do before it does it. You know how it uses its habitat and environment to evade being captured or killed and you take...
The conspiracy theories are entertaining. Especially the ones about this proposal. I realize I don’t get an opinion because I wasn’t born here. Hold on, lemme ask my 8 year old. She says she would rather shoot a big buck every couple years than shoot A buck every year. There you have it.
I think the majority of my friends could be convinced to give up general seasons/rut hunting for more better managed quality LE units. I'm not saying everyone in the state go out with a smoke pole in the Rut, which is what it seems somehow my comment has been interpreted as. Rn we put in for the...
