Montana General Season Structure Proposal

To a great extent, yes. Unlimited limits you even more to a district. You still have to have a R/NR split that outfitters would be concerned about. But, if folks in a district want to move to Unlimited, then the season structure stays as it is, with the current dates (6 weeks for archery, 5 for...

Mule deer is under choose your region & species, so you eliminate a sizeable number of hunter days in the field during October & November by splitting the hunting days/pressure. Coupled with public land being pretty much limited entry for antlerless, you get an even larger reduction in pressure...

Montana General Season Structure Proposal

To be perfectly clear, I think the notion of unintended consequences is a big issue so this discussion is very much appreciated, at least by me. I don't want to speak for the guys, as they do a great job of that. And 100% true that I have my own bias'. The funny thing is - like so many of the...

Maybe "Camp pics" or "fishing hole"...whoops.

Well that certainly makes me feel better about my ramp skills.

Some of them were dreamers And some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent They were gathering the tools They would need to make their journey back to nature While the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the...

Respectfully, I think you're asking for a miracle. I don't know that modeling can do much other than say "yes, this will hurt elk & deer biologically" or "no, this won't have a detrimental impact to the species." The rest is social science. If you have a way of finding that unbiased analysis...

Born down in a dead man’s town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that’s been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A.

I love this. I'm tempted to do a reconfiguration of the interior to improve storage space and move the gas tank out of the bow and place it on the centerline. EVA foam instead of carpet and do some rewiring while I'm tearing it apart. Probably 2-3 years out from that though.

Steering, side console. Likely sticking with a Merc. Honda & Yam are on the menu if the price is right, even with the new controls.

The hull and everything else is solid. It just needs to be repowered.

Well it's not as bad as I built it up to be, thankfully. The boat gets up on plane and tops out around 30-34 mph with 2 people in it, has an issue not sucking fuel intermittently and makes a bit of a racket with the rods. Clearly a tired motor and likely not going to last much longer, but I...

I can do some things, but rebuilding a motor is outside my skillset and patience level. Yeah, the boat came from a private sale, as did the graphs. I had to send a graph back to humminbird to get serviced since it wouldn't display. Now the engine is kaput. I did order a bimini from National...

I had almost bought a stealthcraft raft and a small outboard, but my desire to chase salmon and lake trout outweighed the judicious and prudent portion of my brain.
