Just another reason amongst the myriad of reasons why state land management sucks balls.
Back to the original post, I know of several similar sections of state land where the old railroad ROW across the state was sold to the private landowner and cut off access. The 60’ strips of land are now...
Don’t you think he didnt get the hide off and the quarters? I have killed a couple elk and a deer solo in triple digits and didn’t lose a stitch of meat
I don’t follow the wyoming general tag very close. Are you guys suggesting It’s creeping a point a year? Bonus point system has been in place for 20 years so seems like 0.5 pt per year is more plausible. You can catch that
Right. I don’t think I want it to change haha. Got two boys I want to take hunting someday. I think I probably came across as poor me which is totally not the case. Love the low t Bozeman reference!!
If you didn’t get all the meat, you screwed the pooch. Time to go back and reassess your decision making leading up to it. So many hunters don’t do this. I don’t buy into the “well crap happens”. Lose meat, you ain’t that top level
Maybe I missed it. Did they actually see the bear? If so, than I agree with moving away and leaving it, however they got the head off, no easy task. Also some pretty top level elk hunters weighing in on this and yes been around grizzlies and carcasses.
Let me add, when I started this thread I thought Montana deer management needed to change. This thread has had a lot of good info posted. I have spent way more time than I should have thinking and studying something I will never have even the slightest control of. I have learned a lot. I’m...
Yes…and/or…. Could it actually be simpler? This buck and others like him, yes there are more, obviously not quite as big, don’t get shot rutting on their winter range.
The majority of Montanans don’t support a change to season timing. That’s a fact. The season will not be changed ever...
Yup. Get rid of nr landowner tags. Fixes everything super quick and they serve no purpose whatsoever. This is a no brainer. The reason this doesn’t happen is the incestuous corrupt relationship in politics that exist even at the local level ie (but if I do that my friends will get hurt)...
This all makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. Right out of college back when I stupidly used my vacation time to guide hunters I remember putting the front legs of an antelope over my shoulders like a backpack and packing it out. I thought I was such a badass which compared to my...
