    And the lies continue..

    The yet-to-be-adopted Montana Grizzly Bear Management Plan is well written in my opinion, and if followed, most of the concerns of those opposed to State Management, outside of the emotional ones, are addressed...

    FWP Fisheries Director Ousted?

    Montana, and in particular State Government, is a small town and word gets around. I’d wager we’ll get a bit more to the story sooner than later.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I know a handful of landowners in the Elkhorns, and every one of them has conveyed to me in some way or another how exhausting our hunting season length is. One even told me their participation in the Block Management program would be far more likely if the season wasn't 3 months + long. I know...

    I doubt supply would/will increase in a meaningful way. Maybe that is an incorrect assumption. Further, in the long run, I see no way short of a plague for supply increases to ever keep up with increases in demand in the long term. A subset of the effect of that demand increase also being the...

    It's important to remember too, that transferable tags are commodities, and I think it is safe to assume that over time, the value of these commodities will only go up relative to the amount of capital the average hunter has. In the long run, hunters without an inordinate amount of capital will...

    The Rinella Effect

    We watch a fair bit of meateater and Randy’s show. Finding shows that work for the 6,10, and 40 year old men in my house, requires a window of acceptability that both of those fall into. To me it’s mostly just background noise. I am no longer fired up by hunting media at all. Though, I love and...

    Well, it's not good. Not religious but prayers are welcomed.

    I’m sorry, Dave. The strength you’ve exhibited by sharing what you’re going through here - it’s inspiring. I hope you find peace and a way through it all. My condolences.

    It’s absolutely 90% snowmelt and frigid as hell, but it’s over 70° in Montana.

    Well, @MTLabrador, did the hunting gods shine upon you for buying that 338?

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I wish I could watch/participate in these CACs, but like so many I'm busy on a Wednesday morning. Most of the districts around where I live, there are no aerial surveys done for mule deer. When I asked about why this is, and how I think it is necessary, I was given the concern over cost and the...

    One other thing that should fit into the calculus of whether or not such a model is a net benefit to the beneficiaries of a given state, is public access. Over 7,000,000 acres of Montana’s private lands are accessible to the public for hunting - resident and non-resident alike - through our...

    That isn't clear to me at all. That said, I think non-hunters as beneficiaries is an interesting component, and many arguments leveraged for a NM model in their favor pivot cleanly to hunting in general being a negative to the public trust. If I remember right, the Bitterroot Elk Study showed...

    I once spoke to someone from Oregon about how silly it was that they couldn't pump their own gas. He began to defend it with claims of safety, and all the bad things that could happen if folks were allowed to do so. I pointed out how those claims don't really hold up in the face of how other...
