Montana Mule Deer Raffle
It has to be good; the odds absolutely suck. Especially if like me you have zero points. -

Montana Mule Deer Raffle
No need to worry about it, I already bought the winning ticket. ;) I don't need no stinking pictures. -

Montana Mule Deer Raffle
If there is a better way to stack the deck against Mule Deer than Montana's season structure, I would be interested in hearing it. -

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
In the Missouri Breaks mule deer study back in the day they found that hard frozen ground conditions made footing poor in the steep breaks and washes that mule deer use in winter in that country. Predation from coyotes would go way up then, and that condition was much more frequent than deep... -

FWP Commission to change Gardiner Elk hunting
The B tag was 97% last year plus your general tag is good in the late season also so I don't see much changing. Late season cows are north of Rock creek only so the new expanded area in 314 won't be affected in the late season. That is how I read it. -

Montana - Time to Shake it Up?
It all depends on where you are talking about, I suppose. In most winter range areas near me the snow blows off the low ridges exposing feed and piles up in between. The elk by the hundreds eat the exposed feed to the 1 inch tall. Many of the mule deer stay up in the timber for the most part and... -

Montana - Time to Shake it Up?
If you have ever spent time on what used to be mule deer winter range in sw Mt it is completely obvious. There is nothing left to eat when elk numbers are high. Read the Tex Creek mule deer study. Read what MTFWP has to say about it. Read the link in the post above yours. I am not sure what... -

Montana - Time to Shake it Up?
Elk absolutely compete with mule deer on winter range but killing bulls isn't going to fix it. Denying it makes people sound willfully ignorant. -

Rem 788 .243 price range
Search "Remington 788 bolt" on ebay. I have parted a couple of them out. They are worth considerably more in pieces, even without the bare action. -

FWP Bonus Point Sketchiness
I wonder what would actually happen if MT scrapped the bonus point thing. I wonder if the high point person's odds would actually go up after all of the crying and hand wringing over the terrible loss, and a bunch of people who feel invested said to hell with it. The max point resident guys... -

FWP Bonus Point Sketchiness
I think that anyone who has drawn 3 MT Goat tags should get a fourth one automatically, so they can hunt it before their legs quit on them. Maybe a sheep tag too but that might be asking too much, don't want to come off as entitled. -

FWP Bonus Point Sketchiness
One thing that happened is the guy with 1 point now has 2. 2 squared is 4. The guy with 20 points now has 21. 20 squared is 400. 21 squared is 441. This times thousands of applicants. The new guy went backwards depending on the number of high point applicants in the particular drawing. But if... -

****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD
I saw a cub last week a couple of miles from my house. I think that is the earliest I have ever seen a bear. Looked like a 25 pounder. It will probably show up on FB in a few weeks.- MTTW
