    Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

    I'm usually in grizzly bear country, and I'd rather get things taken care off as soon as possible. Also, I feel like it's better to find the animal as soon as possible for other reasons, heat, rain, running out of daylight etc. I guess, do whatever you feel works for you, I've had good luck by...

    Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

    In the first 15 years that I bowhunted, I definitely wounded a few elk, missed others. In the last 20 years everything I've shot at has been found dead within 1/2 hour. In the first 15 years I didn't use a rangefinder, arrows were heavier, no release for years - advances in equipment has made...

    Public Shaming Drone Flying POS

    I'm heading into the Bob Marshall Wilderness tomorrow going to the Chinese Wall. I have a hunch I'll be more irritated by horse people than drone people. I agree that drones shouldn't be in the Wilderness, and horses, while not a native species to North America, probably should be allowed...

    Nope, Corvallis, Montana. Apparently.

    Montana People - Have You Seen This Man

    I thought I read where they caught this guy. He's some guy from down the Bitterroot with a bunch of posts on Facebook, hunting photos and shed gathering photos.

    Tim Sheehy?

    Didn't Sheehy make his money from the Government? He made all his money from government contracts from a department ran by his buddy Zinke. Yet these guys try to portray themselves as anti government spending, and anti corruption.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Instead of trying to change the world, why don't you just have several units that follow the regulations for mule deer that have already been in place in unit 401? It has a 3 week general season, and a few permits for the rut. Trying to change all the seasons for everyone in the state is going...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Honestly, I would prefer to keep archery season the way it is now. However if there have to be changes then start Sept 1st, and go for 5 weeks, so through Oct 5th. That would leave 26 days to Mule deer hunt. Someone suggested that the opinions of some on this subject may not be those of the...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Is there anyone who lives in NW Montana that was one of the 9 that helped come up with these proposed changes?

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    So it's easier to kill elk in August? I'm not arguing that, but weren't these proposals to help protect the resource, not kill off more of the resource?

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    Still it makes no sense for elk hunting, usually the first week of September it too hot to be killing an animal as big as an elk, never mind the last week of August.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    What's the logic behind adding a week during the heat of August for elk archery, and taking away a week in October?

    Pick a state to become a resident ...

    If you're actually considering opportunities for your kids as well as hunting, then I'd say Utah or Colorado. If it was just hunting then Alaska, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana.

    2024 Draw results

    Not a birth right, more to do with living here and having to pay Montana State taxes. It's not just NR they don't want hunting, it's residents from anywhere else in the state. License plates from different counties are frowned upon during hunting season. 😀

    Montana Proposed Black Bear Season Changes

    I would think that an extension until June 15th would make a big change in region one. Many areas in Region one would become much more accessible by June than they are in mid May.

    Fixing social security

    Social Security - the name itself means security for society. It's not a savings program for individuals. It was brought about to prevent elderly people being too poor to survive on their own. It is absolutely ridiculous that someone making millions gets to stop contributing at a little over...

    Pyramid Lumber in Seeley Lake, MT Closing

    Sorry to see this happen to Pyramid Lumber and the town of Seely Lake. I've managed sawmills that got shut down. Some people will have worked there since high-school for maybe 30 plus years, and not worked anywhere else, making it hard to find other employment even if willing to relocate...

    I've lived in Kalispell since 1981. I have no idea why someone would ever think it was overrun with hippie types.

    Montana Fentanyl and Meth. Mexican Drug Cartel Focus.

    My youngest son died of a fentanyl overdose. It was 3 years ago and I found him right here in the room where I am now typing this. It changed my perception of what people who OD on drugs are like. I had incorrectly though of them as people on the fringes of society, down on their luck...

    Montana Archery Elk Research?

    I wouldn't worry about drawing special permits. I'd hunt general units. As for unit 380, I spent most of this past bowhunting season in it, as a friend of mine drew the bull tag. Anyone who says that you'd have to settle for a 320 bull is either deliberately trying to mislead or was looking...
