Montana Elk Hunting (Funny)

[Elky Welky]

Over thanksgiving I found this 1965 cartoon in my parent's basement that is surprisingly accurate to the current state of elk hunting in MT. Enjoy!

Looks like they had a Jersey Greg blasting tied up critters even back then...

I know where I'm going...

That Norris rd in the middle?

The more I stare at it the more accurate I realize it is! haha

Only one I have not seen in NM is the elephant.
Saw a tank once on a Sierra logging road...

this feels like one of those awkward onion articles where the satire is way too close to reality...

I've got some old Wyoming Wildlife Magazines from the '30's & '40's where they discuss a lot of the same problems we have today, and the minutes from the 80's Landowner/Hunter summit read like a thread on Hunt Talk.

Does anyone remember when the lama came through a game check station with an elk tag on it.

Before the internet, in NE Oregon there were some "Portland hunters" who stopped in at a local gas station and asked to see some elk photos pinned on the trophy board, so they'd know what to look for. I assume it was like that just about everywhere with city hunters. Thanks goodness we now have Instagram to show us how its done.

I would suspect technology advancements is the difference between now and then. Probably why our big game herd suffers. Hopefully this will be addressed in the near future.

@rtraverdavis look it's the "keep hammering" crew. They've made it all the way to Montana.

Wonder what kind of popsicles they have to get there...

Wish we got video of those guys. I really liked the guy in the white t shirt and ausie outback hat on that 20 degree morning.
