Extreme hunting pressure in region 7.

Gay jokes are the Bowmar of jokes.

I did spend about a hour one day trying to talk my buddy into each of us buying new sleeping bags one with left hand zip and one with a right in case we where ever in a survival situation. He said he would choose death.

He is probably from three forks anyway

Theres a unit with 3 forkies somewhere?

He doesn't sound like a very good friend.

But given the diet of the average hunter, one would assume the methane production at night would have at least a 98 degree warming effect in a solo bag.

Just cross from homosexual to necrophilia jokes. He'll be less weirded out.

I say just outlast him and than you can eat him to survive.

To be fair, 1/2 of those NR plates might be residents who are just being illegal Ike's and not changing their plates over fast enough.

Those aren’t NR.
They’re just R “coming home to hunt”

Except R tag sales are flat

Maybe all the ranchers that used to buy tags and shoot things on the ranch from their front porch have been replaced by Bozeman crypto-software engineers and hunting influencers who hunt public land?

Slightly declining for deer & elk, iirc.

But think of hunter loss, retention & activation.

If we lose hunters & don't replace them with new ones, it's still new hunters in the field, and those hunters aren't going to be nearly as proficient at the old ones hanging it up, leading to a massive increase in resident hunter pressure (same as 18kNR's). .

There are a fair amount of people around here that have quit in disgust of what has happened.

Im aware. The precipitous fall of quality began post the reselling of the NR tags.

Spin it how you spin it but you helped create this. And are trying to continue.

New hobbies help the mind stay sharp.

I miss hunting R7 but I don't miss being more disappointed every season and the spending a small fortune to do it.
Do YouTubers even hunt there anymore?

These had a huge camp down there. Kings of killing forkys. I’d venture to guess they aren’t originally from MT.

The face paint is key to finding those big old troll warrior bucks.

I see some happy kids.

The more this turns to pure buck quality conversation the less appealling it will be for people to get behind.

Do the glasses cancel out the face paint? I'm not sure these guys are influencing much
