It all came together on the last weekend of the season. I finally found the first mature bull of the entire season on my 15th day of hunting and was able to connect on the 16th day. Funny how hunts never transpire how you vision them. Overall I saw very few moose pre-season and in-season. Way...
I'm fortunate to have a moose permit, region 6. Without going into all the details its been a long and frustrating season with waaayyy more time and effort than I expected. You all know how the passion stresses finances, work, relationships, etc. The pressure with these tags is real. I'm getting...
SMH, it's futile. Settle down. And I too think most all big game animals in MT are hunted waaay too hard, no argument from me there. The solution should have been an entire re-draw for the units involved with the original quota, nothing added. Why would he not do this? Afraid of taking away...
Round and round we go. So you can honestly say '1st choice only' vs 'First and only choice are the same thing? I read those words very clearly in the regs before I applied. If you answer yes then there is no sense in debating this, we will get nowhere and are all wasting our time.

This is an update for those wondering/concerned that FWP was going to give a permit to everyone that got booted out of the original drawing due to FWP's mistake. Well...they didn't. After the original drawing it showed I had neither a successful or unsuccessful application. According to the...
Beating the horse again...they did apply correctly according to how the regs are written. Period. The applicants did nothing wrong. They are not whining because they didn't get a permit, they're upset they're application was thrown out of the draw for no valid reason. I need to be done.
Apps were not filled out 'incorrectly' according to the rules printed in the regs book. In general, people are not dumb. If the blame was all on the applicant FWP would not be acknowledging all of this.
