    Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs

    Haters always be minimizing me trying to get me down. I’m gonna keep my head up. I know what I’ve done.

    Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs

    For the record, I would like it to be acknowledged that when push comes to shove and everything falls apart, no one has done more to change the status quo with internet complaints, snarky sarcasm, memes and gifs than I. You are welcome for my service….😎

    I’m telling Matt. Prepare to face the wrath of Hunt Quietly for participating in the recruitment of more hunters. 😄😏 Thanks for your efforts. My daughter had a great experience in her class. Hunters Ed instructors do a great job.

    Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs

    Perhaps Hunt Quietly should focus their discontent on the real boogeymen of R3. Those horrible volunteer FWP Hunter Safety instructors. My daughter had her mandatory field day last Saturday and there must have been fifty kids that they certified and helped prepare for the field. They even let...

    Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs

    Every time I have been at the Legislature to testify on a bill I care about that affects wildlife and hunting in MT, BHA has been there testifying as well. Last bill I testified on they took the opposite position as I did but I’m confident we’ll be aligned on far more issues than opposed in...

    Cattle rules wildlife

    Pretty sure wildlife populations are factored into grazing plans and public leases. There’s plenty of folks on here who would have a lot more info on that than I.

    Cattle rules wildlife

    Opinion of cattle grazing on public lands? When it’s done properly it’s beneficial to both wildlife and the ranchers who run the cattle. Done poorly, it’s can be a detriment to local wildlife populations and the land. Overall takeaway I have is that I would rather the ranchers who depend on...

    FWP Proposes Conservation Easement on Private Timberland in Northwest Montana

    Overall in the long term, I believe CE’s are almost always a win. CE’s will not get less expensive in the future and the value of lost access is hard to quantify until it’s gone. When it’s gone the cost to preserve access will seem cheap in comparison.

    Tics not Tik Toc

    It’s difficult for me not to jump on my soapbox whenever this topic comes up but the belief that only wood ticks carry Lymes and that it’s confined to the Midwest and East is completely false. The majority of cases originate from deer tick bites in the East and Midwest. However, any insect...

    Tics not Tik Toc

    To my knowledge my wife has only been bitten once. It was a Montana wood tick and was only attached for a few hours. It didn’t even get engorged.

    Tics not Tik Toc

    After experiencing the effects of Lymes for the past 12 years my wife couldn’t disagree more with this sentiment. It’s been life altering for our entire family and not in a good way. Permithrin is the best repellent I have found.

    FWP Proposes Conservation Easement on Private Timberland in Northwest Montana

    The timber company lands in this area have passed through several owners in the past couple of decades. Each time it sells there a collective fear that the next owner might not continue to allow access. FWP and the landowners have always come through with agreements that retain public access...
