    UPOM as an Anti-Hunting, Anti-Fishing Organization

    I am aware of the public trust doctrine that established ownership of all wildlife across the country. The case was based in Virginia. Also, I noted that buyers are aware of the regulations before they invest (including the lousy 454 rules). You all make compelling arguments. It is a shame...

    UPOM as an Anti-Hunting, Anti-Fishing Organization

    No question. I have enjoyed my time in MT to the point that we bought a place in the Treasure State. I will soon be a resident, but none of this changes the need to maintain a balanced view and respect for other perspectives.

    UPOM as an Anti-Hunting, Anti-Fishing Organization

    I am fairly disappointed by the commentary and limited perspective expressed in so many of the threads. In our home state (VA), property owners (resident and non-resident) do not need a license to hunt their own property. Same for their immediate family. Seasons, bag limits, … still apply...

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    We have a home in Lewistown and the APR is an endlessly hot topic of discussion. My personal experience is that the rules for access were simple, clear, and rigorously applied. No weird screening criteria or questions. Their new HQ building was a major renovation and local investment. Block...

    Seekins vs Fierce Stock

    I have a Fierce 300WSM. It is incredibly accurate, but the finish on the stock has not been durable. The finish peeled from the edges of the metal work and around a few of the other edges. I have not complained to Fierce and decided to just live with it rather than go through any sort of...

    I saw your post about unit 51, and decided to reach-out. My son-in-law will be hunting deer in 51 during the general season. We saw several elk two years ago, but did not find any deer. We were in the southern area near Howe. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Idaho Muzzy Deer 51-1

    I have a general season tag for unit 51 this year. My son-in-law and I are going to spend an extended week together giving things a try. We burned 10 days in 2020 mucking around with a number of places that did not restrict vehicle access and were endlessly buzzed by 4-wheelers hammering...

    What Mittens does Randy Wear?

    I grew-up wearing “buckskin choppers” in Upstate NY (and always chewed on the salty thumbs when I was a kid). My wife is a South Texas and North Florida girl. She thought I was nuts when I gave her first pair, but she would never part with them now. They become better with age.

    Episode 154: Civics for Hunters - SB 143 with Mac Minard

    I have read loads on SB 143 from all sides. The numbers are all so misleading and the treatment of the material is overly simplified by the sponsors. 1 I have been hunting in MT for decades; my ALS number ends in “26”. My buddies and I used to load-up and drive 27 hours to Plentywood to chase...
