Doesn't matter if you have dibs on private property.

Doesn't matter to you. Definitely matters to those who rely on public in east MT.

Does matter to me, I hunt public. The offhand comment probably doesn't concern someone who stacks them up on a private ranch.

I don’t know about western birds but from experience the best way to learn turkey hunting is by turkey hunting. The difference between a turkey and elk is if you spook a turkey it won’t be 7 drainages away in 30 minutes.

All I see in those photos is fancy semi auto loading shooting irons; you didn’t lower yourself to those levels did you?

Who are you to tell them they weren’t Rio’s to begin with? How dare you assume they were easterns.

Eastern Montana is a big place, since when are you the gatekeeper of hunting property. A quick check of your posts and it is clear that you are the self appointed ranger of hunting etiquette…

I got another win today. The land owners who I trap for and who give me access called me for a third year in a row to ask me to help their friend get a bird.
I gave them exact spots, told them the lay out, and he hammered a double beard today.

Year 1 & 2 was a younger girl who would come out with her faither (friends with LO). I gave them all the intel and she killed a double beard bird the first year, then a bird with 1 1/2" spurs year two.
Then this guy who came in today killed a double beard.

It's great from the perspective that them giving me access, allows me to manage for quality, but also be able to help them back when friends come in.
Win, win, win.


I get my second tag on Monday, but Ill be out this weekend helping friends and hopefully getting my daughter on a bird.

Let me know if you want a spot to potentially check them out in 51. No idea how close that is to you.

I made too many commitments this spring, and not thinking much about anything hunting-related. My plan is to make myself get out by Friday and let some gobbles distract me.
