    A Short Story About Landowner Permission Not Being Simple

    Most of the time when I think about hunting/trapping on private land, it’s about legitimate permission and staying within that permission. I had an interesting issue last week that went beyond that, and into the dynamics between two landowners. 2 years ago I received permission from landowner X...

    Heads on Pikes

    Nice job by locals paying attention and our Game Wardens. Imagine if, at the gates of the Elkhorns, there was a lodgepole pillar, plumb to earth and spiked at the top. At the apex, the guilty party's dome, emancipated from its former torso. Even after weeks or months of putrefaction, where once...

    Montana 2025 Legislative Session

    Curious what hunting/fishing bills the sausage-makers will spin up this year. When I search on the word "hunting" , there's a lot of drafts waiting in the wings, but no text yet to see what they entail. Some of the requestors of some of these drafts do make me wonder. When is the text of these...

    Gratitude For The Deer That Are There

    Lots of bellyaching about the state of deer in Montana. The crowding, the structure of the age class, the disturbing trends. I jump in and do it too, almost always based on a juxtaposition of what I remember when I first started hunting from around 1995-2010 - my own "Good Old Days". I have not...

    Netflix: Inside The Mind Of A Dog

    I know there are a lot of folks here who love their dogs and work with them. Last night the kids and I watched this, and whether it is through the context of a family dog, hunting dogs, working dogs – I found it really fascinating. Many concepts within the documentary really struck me. Dogs...

    Pyramid Lumber in Seeley Lake, MT Closing

    Saw this today, and it is a real bummer. https://missoulacurrent.com/pyramid-lumber-closes/ From the article: “As everyone at Pyramid knows, the company has been hit very hard by a variety of circumstances that are outside of its control,” the company said in a statement. “Among other...

    What is your favorite mobile weather application?

    I suppose the answer to this might be different coming from different folks. I could imagine an app being more regionally predictive in some places than others, or folks valuing the user interface of an app vs another. The accuracy of different weather-predictors is something I have entertained...

    What The Hell is Science-Based Management?

    I did Google it. Just stream-of-consciousness while the kids eat breakfast this morning.... A discussion around wolf hunting the other day, and the fact that I purchase a wolf tag every year, brought forth a rejoinder from someone who doesn’t that they don’t do so because they believe in...

    Did you shoot your first deer with open sights?

    I got together with my father last night to do some reloading, and we were discussing my oldest son (9), being able to hunt deer in the youth hunt next year. He’s a left-eyed shooter, so I was pondering investing in a rifle for him. As I was voicing options, my dad kind of shook his head and...

    Mule Deer Meat Opinions - A Poll

    On a recent thread about mule deer, there was a disagreement about mule deer as table fare. To be clear, I think taste is subjective, but in a population of preferences will also likely represent a semi-normal distribution. There’s no wrong answers here. The options above follow those often...

    Spooked and Humbled

    This afternoon I decided to go look for a whitetail in a few hundred acres of muck and beaver dams. I ended up having what was the most intense moment of my hunting life. I got to the spot at 2, and had a doctor’s appointment at 5 o’clock this evening. I figured I would wander around in the...

    Crops and their Contents

    So far in 2023 I have hiked and hunted the least amount I have ever hunted as an adult. Work, extracurriculars, kids and their sports, things....everything seems to be escalating. That said, last night I was on the hook to get Thing 3 to Soccer and Thing 1 to volleyball. Thing 3's coaches came...

    Hunt Quietly Podcast 84: Q & A

    It’s tough to spend such beautiful Montana weekend out of the hills, but this is my last weekend of call for work for the season, so I did chores around the house and listened to this podcast episode this morning. https://huntquietly.org/podcasts/ I know Matt Rinella and his perspective has...

    Critters in Weird Places

    I feel like this discussion has happened before, but I couldn’t find it. I’m curious about others’ observations of species of animals where they typically are not – pioneers of their kind. Of course, all populations that got to where they are naturally, got there via the wandering souls of their...

    Folks in SW Montana Looking to Do Something (B-D RAC)

    The Beaverhead Deerlodge (B-D) National Forest is looking for Resource Advisory Committee members. The B-D is one of Montana's most heavily utilized NFs, and is also one with a future that will be dependent on the participation of citizens. Most of it currently has no travel management, but they...

    The Fallacy of “Spreading Out The Use” in Land Management

    This is not about hunting – necessarily – though there may be some throughlines. This about trails. It’s intuitive- there’s a thing(X) existing in an area or volume (Y). X/Y. If we double the area/volume of Y, X/2Y, the proportion of the numerator to the denominator will be half of what it...

    Elk Objectives by District and EMU – Elk/Sq Mile

    I was lying in bed the other day thinking about the new Elk Management Plan, how much hinges on it, and what it will look like. Based on some of the questions I heard asked in the meetings I attended, the individual hired to write it, and the near-unanimous position of hunters in Montana on the...
