    Montana draw 2026

    Thanks for that kind comment and concern, Scott. I am sorry to hear about your Dad. It sucks. All who have been through it know the emptiness. Yet, there will be days that unexpected reminders come out of nowhere and those reminders will put a smile on your face. It sounds like you and your Dad...

    Antler Point Restrictions

    Thanks for posting that. I read that over the weekend. Marcus and I did a Fresh Tracks Weekly segment about it today. To me, the study, in the same area being debated, shows how much hunters really want "science-based management." They do, until the science doesn't support what they want...

    Montana draw 2026

    The change nobody wants is "any change." Let's face it, Montana hunters enjoy some pretty damn good options compared to other states. And they will oppose anything that deviates from the status quo. 1. Our resident fees are hardly enough to cover gas in the vehicles and warden salaries, let...

    The dam that never was

    Thanks for bringing this back to the top. It was one of the more meaningful projects I feel that we have done. We just finished another video that will release in the next month about Bob Gibson, another person who worked for an agency and did some amazing landscape work that we all benefit...

    WY preference point increase

    Considering that they sell 180K-190K points to NRs for each of the elk, deer, and pronghorn draws, this is a smart business decision. The same inventory of tags sold results in $13-14million of annual non-resident revenue, per species, without a single extra critter being harvested and not a...

    Server alerts

    Yup. We got hammered for about three hours this afternoon. The software pretty much closes down the site when that happens. Sorry for the delay. But, given the amount of spammers from Asia and Eastern Europe wanting to sell you crypto recovery tools, locking down the site as tight as we do is...

    Montana Elk Hunt with Ted Roosevelt IV - 2025

    I had written in this prior Hunt Talk thread about an elk hunt with Theodore Roosevelt IV - https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/happy-birthday-president-roosevelt.330892/#post-3987022 Today we released the video of that hunt. Hope you enjoy it.

    Boundary waters under attack

    Your observation is a bullseye. I have seen the Dems exemplify some of the same behaviors, but not to the degree that Trump holds over the Repubs at this time. Maybe the next Dem President will take notes of how Trump did things and proclaim, "Hold my beer and watch this." I hope not, but at...

    Boundary waters under attack

    I almost wish I wasn't so drawn into these issues. I don't have to rely on the media reports to know what is going on. When you are getting real time reports from Senators, their staff, or Committee staffers, you don't have to guess what is fact or fiction. And the facts, as I've seen them...

    Montana draw 2026

    Happy for all who drew the tag they were hoping for. I've had more than my share of luck in draws, which over 30+ years of multi-state apps is a function of how many "raffles" I've entered. For years, I was luckier than most in my Montana elk/deer limited entry draws, though I completely suck...

    Boundary waters under attack

    For clarification, this vote today was the vote to proceed with the official vote tomorrow morning. Which, all the vote counters on the inside have said this is exactly how the votes will be cast on the final round in the morning. Which makes sense. Thune is no dummy. He never lets something...

    Boundary waters under attack

    I'm not sure. The only avenue I'm aware of is to litigate the manner in which the 60-day window of the Congressional Review Act is not being followed.

    Boundary waters under attack

    Well, the vote is in. The White House weighed in and a couple people flipped. It passed 51-49. So much for public input. The abuse of the Congressional Review Act (CRA), used once in the first 20 years of its existence and now more than 40 times with Trump Administration 1 & 2, is disturbing...
