Montana General Season Structure Proposal
We all agreed on that when our group met. Season structure is a contributing factor though, and it was the one factor that we felt hunters had the most control over. -

Which of the big 3 in Colorado to keep going after?
He’s most interested in moose and CO has the best moose hunting in the lower 48….choose moose.- bigsky2

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
I think the incidental take of mule deer by antelope hunters would pale in comparison to the incidental take of rutting mule deer alongside the road while people are elk hunting in November. -

And Utah says, Hold my Beer!
The way I read that, they aren't required to increase the fees. I'm sure they likely will, but maybe there's some hope that they hold off at least a couple of years. -

Weapon or technology restrictions?
Same exact thought I had.- bigsky2

Montana missouri breaks sheep 2025 regs.
I wasn't implying that issuing the extra permits is the main reason that sheep numbers are way down. In response to your comment though, do bighorns get lungworms from domestic sheep? It is something I hadn't heard of until this year.- bigsky2

Weapon or technology restrictions?
I agree with that to an extent. There’s always going to be people that push the limits and take shots they have no business taking. I also think that some of the technology that we have today gives people a false sense of confidence that they might not have if they had to use more restrictive...- bigsky2

Montana missouri breaks sheep 2025 regs.
Screwing up the draw a couple of years ago and then deciding to issue the excess permits isn’t looking like it was a very wise decision now.- bigsky2

Weapon or technology restrictions?
Or maybe even worse- nothing changes and we gradually get used to less animals and lower quality of experience.- bigsky2

Montana House Bill 676 - This could sell off 1.25M acres of State Trust Lands - that's almost 25%!!! This is not the Homesteading Bill
Yes. A few of them will be land lines but most are cell numbers.- bigsky2

NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)
That’s exactly why I rarely hunt birds around here. It’s no fun going and getting pissed off when all you want to do is take the dog for a walk through some decent bird habitat that hasn’t already been hunted by three groups. -

NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)
I don’t think NR are villains but I live in a destination bird hunting area and the NR pressure has gotten so bad that I don’t even hunt birds around here unless I get an invite from my friend with private access. Maybe I’m just not serious enough but getting to the public spots well before... -

Non Political Broadhead Thread (With a Bonus Poll!)
Difficult to sharpen due to the strong steel would be my only complaint. If I was a guy that liked to stack animals with the bow then I would use something cheaper. For me, I basically just need them to kill an elk, so I don't mind paying the cost. -

Round In The Chamber
Agreed on assessing the situation, I'd rather take the chance on an animal getting away than for me to make a quick decision and shoot something I'm not happy with. -

Interesting article.
Couldn't agree with this more. The last couple sessions have been a lot tamer than I was expecting, and I think that is primarily because of Ben and others working to find a middle ground. -

Montana 2025 Legislative Session
Pretty frustrating that there was unanimous support for Marler's reporting bill and it was still tabled. It seems like the legislators put more value in Facebook comments than they did the comments of the individuals that showed up to testify. -

Pretty sure HB 635 was part of the MCEMC's legislative package last session. https://www.montanaelk.org/media/xdso647sc2lgyxsbbus5oa64mmm6z8
