Real talent, how the "song writer" masterfully weaved in the "with baling twine in hand" line!😁

It could have only been better if they had figured out how to make a rhyme that included " We canted the rifle scope sideways to check to see if it was legal " as he wrote in the WSF magazine article that was so perfectly timed following the questionable kill.

Hey geetar,

I haven't checked in for ages; is the thread dead now?

It seems killing it was the goal. Hit me up on PM sometime. Hope you're doing well.

Can't say that I've been doing particularly well; but, I'm still not planted, roasted, or converted to predator or scavenger scat!

I will shoot you a PM when I can muster the energy.

In the meantime, if you don't mind sending me same with some updates on how you and your buddies have done over the past two or three seasons I would be quite appreciative.*

While I'm at the keyboard and thinking about such things (even though a bit premature): Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Inauguration Day, et cetera!

* Health issues and other circumstances have put the kibosh on my own hunting, fishing, backpacking, game scouting, and similar plans pretty much since late 2019, though I still harbor hope. I made a friend, Kyle, online by commenting on one of his Wilderness Enthusiast channel YouTube videos, which kindled a continuing conversation. I wanted to begin scouting my old Roosevelt Elk hunting grounds for him last January after he indicated that he'd be interested in chasing the beasts with bow and arrows based on what I told him of the prospects. (For track and stalk hunting, which I like the most, the country has improved ever since timber harvesting moratoriums were instituted in the region as part of Spotted Owl recovery measures.) Long story truncated, by season's opener, I still hadn't gotten out at all!

Nevertheless, Kyle and a hunting partner, Derek, did come out to Washington's Olympic Peninsula in September and he says they were pleased with the adventure! If you'd like to get a sense of the country this old fart hunted when his legs, lungs, and energy were more cooperative, check out Kyle's video of the hunt that he produced:


If you agree with me that it's an entertaining and worthy production, I'd consider it a favor if you post a thumbs up and perhaps leave a favorable comment to help Kyle's fledgling YT channel grow.
 
Some good news for the unlimited bighorn world.

Yesterday the Montana FWP Commission voted to shorten the harvest reporting window from 48 hours to 24 hours and the unit closure notification from 48 hours to 24 hours to address the recent over-quota harvests that have been taking place when units are pending closure. The head/cape inspection period has been increased from 48 hours to 72 hours so successful hunters have the same amount of time to get it out of the field and in front of FWP as they did before this change. Hopefully this helps the rat race that has become of certain units where people harvest rams then go out to get their buddies on the remaining ones while the unit is pending closure.

Commissioner Tabor also proposed a mandatory online sheep hunter orientation course to educate tagholders on ram legality requirements, ie. what is a 3/4 curl ram. This wasn't yet voted on, but it would educate tagholders on what a legal ram is and the consequences of harvesting a sub-legal ram. This would help address the other growing problem of hunters taking sub-legal (too short) rams in the unlimiteds.
