    Anyone give up hunting other species after getting your dog?

    Yes. If you think the dog is demotivator to big game hunting, try adding a falcon to the mix. I am happy to shoot 2-3 whitetail in my back yard these days. Even this season taking off of falconry, the first in 12, I find myself choosing just running the dog rather than looking for elk (I...

    Guesses on Score?

    On the binary scale - the only scoring system I have or will ever recognize - with a 0 being NO and a 1 being YES, all of the deer pictured on this topic, including the original, are solid 1s which means I am shooting every time.

    Gratuitous Bird and Dog Photos

    Why aren’t I flying a falcon this year? 😭 A friend came over a few days ago and flew his falcon over my dog, the amazing Greta Grouse. I borrowed the her - the bird - for the rest of the day to do my annual bird education for the local second graders then took her back over the hill. He...

    Mt housing

    Pretty much. The area is already changing. Also, the lower Shields below Clyde Park is already dewatered enough from irrigation demands that in bad water years it’s almost stagnant. The new golf course being built on the CMR and its water demands might see it dry all summer before it enters...

    Best pizza in Bozeman?

    Bridger or Campania. Campania is a classic Neopolitan-style pizza cooked in a wood oven. They do it pretty well. Bridger is just a good pizza, more NY style. Again, a pretty good pizza. Its a tossup IMO. Neither is going to be the best pizza youll ever have, but Im always happy with...

    Deer Head Stolen

    Not to be overly argumentative, but its a lot easier smashing a window, grabbing a head, then tossing it into a truck before driving off than it is removing same head afield and hauling it out to (most likely) the same parking access as its rightful owner (as is the likely case at most of the...

    Deer Head Stolen

    Ive thought of this also. But then Ive had the alternate thought of 'what if my window(s) gets broken instead?'. I dont which is the better approach.

    Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.

    Is the proposal to limit non residents to 2 weeks of bird hunting per season going to come back next legislative session?

    What would you do?

    Was it the Kuiu entirely camo? Ive always wanted a reason to feign being startled while demanding 'Who's there? Is someone there!?!?!' so this scenario might have made my day.

    Idaho for retirement ?

    Dont forget health care in your list. But then Im sure Salmon is a one-stop-shop servicing all an aging person's needs, right? ...right?

    Workout shoes

    Saucony makes a trail runner called Peregrine. Naturally these are the only choice for me. Why would anyone choose anything different? Peregrines are badass. I am due for pair numero 4 soon. They wear out at the same rate as any other trail runner Ive used at a few hundred miles or so.

    September 1st Montana upland opening, who, what, where?

    Im confident of this assessment of game numbers in my valley at this point. There are some local pockets of huns that did well around a few stubble fields on the local benches, but, other than these coveys, bird numbers are generally in the gutter., both the huns and the sharptail. These...
