Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Let's use myself as an example. I spent 230$ for all my tags and apps in MT. It takes almost 6 of me to make 1 NR big game combo holder. And most MT residents are spending 1/2 what I do, so that means 12 of them to equal 1 NR big game combo holder. We would need to 2-3x current Resident... -

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
If season lengths are equivalent there is no loss in opportunity, NR or Resident. In any season date change (or limited weapon) everyone crows about a "loss of opportunity" when, by definition, there is no decrease. Or, "we've always done it this way, so let's keep doing it this way"... -
Land management agency impact stories...
I wouldn't call the weekly newsletter "big accomplishments", it's more like "hey this is what is happening at Interior this week". The divestiture is the HUD program and the recent land sale around Vegas, which were both big in the news, so not really surprising. The week before it was energy...- sclancy27

Corner crossing the 10th ruling
I don't think the Supreme Court would take it since it was unanimously supported by the 10th Circuit.- sclancy27

Land management agency impact stories...
There is a ton of truth in this post. In my experience, good contractors love govt contracts and bad ones hate them. Davis-Bacon wages are less an issue than a decade ago, at least where I contract, because they haven't gone up commensurate with inflation, so the are much more comparable now...- sclancy27

Just relaying what my experience in Central and Western MT and construction projects. I know for a fact they are laughing their way to the bank, but if they're the "lowest acceptable bid" and the managers still want the work done the contracting officer moves ahead. I would be happy if our...- sclancy27

I deal with contractors and bids often as a Fed engineer, it's definitely more than a little. It's also not another 0. From my experience it's anywhere from a 50-100%. Covid times really ramped up costs for contractors cause there was so much state and federal $$$ out there. Those times are...- sclancy27

2.1" is an older model. They carry 1.5", 1.75" and 2.0" now. I wouldn't shoot the 2.0" unless you are shooting heavy poundage or long draw length. I'm shooting a 495 gr arrow in the low 280s fps and consider that around the min to shoot 2.0" expandable at an elk. -
NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)
I'm similar to you hunting multiple states for birds every year. I just don't like NR camping in states and pounding the piss out of everything. I would like to see a 7 day upland license ONLY in MT, personally, on top of the other limits in this bill. -
NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)
The should include MTN grouse in the bill too. They are just risking a bunch of pressure goes there -
NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)
I completely agree with the quality of experience, and it's pretty easy to tie that with tag sale/harvest data. Upland bird and turkeys have increased several hundred % in the last decade from the NR side. I think it's really reasonable to cap both at a 2019/2020 level for NR. -

I killed these 2 yrs ago with the same SEVR 2.1" resharpened after each one. -

What data did you use to come to that number or is it a "gut feeling" kind of thing? Just PM me instead of derailing this thread about the upland bird bill. -

I think bird caps is a no brainer. Deer is tougher, given what I think the dept would do.
