Grizz 399
A "good" bear is often defined by humans by conforming to what humans would like a bear to be. In the case of 399, she was a "good" bear because she didn't confront humans and raised cute cubs for many years, and was very viewable. All well and good. But what about a female grizzly bear which...- Flynarrow

Montana trying to be like Utah?
It is important to remember that every single day there is an individual, corporation, or political body trying to steal the public's land, water or wildlife. Every single day in some usually hidden format. The little that the general public still holds onto is at risk. Everyone should be on... -

Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

Montana trying to be like Utah?
Any land sold that is not immediately adjacent to urban areas becomes more WUI with fire and infrastructure issues. Would this land only be available for low income housing? What criteria. I'm thinking this is another ploy to create more suburban sprawl for the wealthy. About 70% of Montana... -

US Forest Service reduced funding for 2025 implications
Having spent a 32 year career in the Forest Service, it was sad to see how, whatever the budget, how little actually reaches the ground. Budget Virga is my description. The seasonals/temporarys is what actually takes place that most of us see and appreciate.....trails cleared, toilets cleaned...- Flynarrow

FWP being systematically dismantled
Knudsen would be even more dangerous if he were intelligent. He is such an ideologue he charges ahead regardless. However his position on the Land Board is seriously threatening conservation easement and acquisition programs. -

FWP being systematically dismantled
Leadership is being systematically dismantled and replacements, if they can be found, are "yes" people chosen by the Director. Centralization is replacing people close to the field resources. Like gophers, remaining biologists don't dare stick their heads out of the holes. The Director and... -

Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
I had that tag at least 25 years ago. Found a nice water seep and set up a tree stand and had some decent bucks come in. Then stalked and killed a 185 with my recurve. Waiting an hour to go after it the coyotes had aready found it and ate some of the hind quarters. Fond memories. Good luck. -

The last legislative session with Rs having a super majority gave big corporations like Verizon and railroads big tax breaks. Ag exemptions meant gianforte property tax went down. So your property taxes went up? Voting has consequences. -

More Permanent Outfitters on Beaverhead Deer lodge NF
While the B-D recently backed off on offering 20,000 more outfitted client days, they are now proposing to grant nearly 3000 client days to outfitters by converting their temporary or even outfitters without any permit quasi-permanent "Priority Use" status without giving people a chance to... -

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Current FWP Director and all Commission members were both appointed by the current Governor(largely outfitters, landowners and an oil and gas guy). Any FWP leader that speaks up is being forced out. Decisions are now centralized and biologists don't dare speak out. Voting matters.
