    Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year

    Agreed! I hunted the grouse and hun opener, and pheasant after the youth deer season, and both were a refreshing experience. I think a similar thing should be enacted for big game as well, but I would change it to the last 10 days of the season. No NR big-game hunting on Block Management...

    Dogs are Hunting Partners - Let's see 'em

    Took my daughter on her first duck hunt for the youth season a couple of weeks back. She's not quite comfortable with a 20 gauge, so she was popping off shots with the little single-shot .410. We were hunting in Southwest Montana in a small high-mountain lake/pond.

    It’s not just corner hopping…

    If it isn't accessible from any other means, you need permission from an adjacent landowner to cross their land to get to the BLM. In a case like this, you might have permission to hunt the adjacent landowner's land via the Block Management, and not have the landowner's permission to access the...

    This country's hard on people. You can't stop what's coming.

    Caribou meat can be both Good and Terrible all on the same plate. The couple of cows I shot were great. The one big bull I shot was a mix of terrible and good. I've been told that as they rut, they lap up the urine of the cows in heat. This can then taint the meat with a very off-putting flavor...

    Golden Retriever vs. Cockleburs

    I use a combination of the dematting comb linked above, and scissors. The furminatior will help with some of the little ones on the surface too. But its mostly just patience and picking them out one at a time. I did just order a knockoff of the Mars brush. I'll give that a try when it comes.

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    What consequences do you actually see them suffering?

    Dalton/Haul Rd Caribou...affordable & easy??

    It can be a pretty good hunt if you happen to find the caribou. You can walk 5 miles out and be staring at miles and miles of empty country. The last time I was up there, we went out the 5 miles and saw very few animals. My buddy chose to pass on the 3 young bulls we saw on about the fourth...

    Avalanche Gulch - Access at risk

    I shot my first elk (cow) up there when I was about 20 years old. Saw where that guy put a big house on one side of the road and a solar farm on the other. Crazy to think that the road could be closed after all these years.

    Non-political Make ICE hate make sense to me. Can it be civil?

    And that bolded part is what should be the mandatory minimum for anyone running for president. Unfortunately, we as a country have strayed very far away from that criterion.

    Dislocated Shoulders

    I can't even begin to guess how many times I've dislocated my shoulder. First time being highschool basketball. I had surgery at 17, but had no PT options in my small town. Over the next 10 years or so, it dislocated frequently while playing sports or shooting pool (booze tends to loosen...

    Salary & benefit negotiations

    Man, without knowledge of your full financial picture, I would take the extra time off. Life's too short to miss out on opportunities to do what you love to do. 12-15K isn't a ton of money in the grand scheme of things. And as Big Fin always says, you will run out of health before you ever...

    DIY Truck Kayak Rack

    One question. If you strap the kayak to the crossbar when it's in the down/loading position and then tip it up, doesn't the strap interfere with the nesting of the two channel pieces at the travel position? Or are the anchor points added to the channel that you strap to?
