Montana mule deer rant
Reading all of this mule deer "rant" is tough to take. I have hunted SE MT since about 1970 and a good hunting partner has since 1964. We hunted the Chalk Buttes SW of Ekalaka the most. In the 1970s and 1980s there were still a few ranchers / farmers with grain and alfalfa down on the lower... -

Stolen ATV, What now?
I spent many years as an Independent Insurance Agent. I handled many claims where customers had property stolen from various locations. If the ATV was worth $5,000 and the loss hurts, you should have insured it on its own or as a scheduled item on your homeowners policy, or son's policy. It is...- Skiller

MT Licensing System - Burn it down? How to Improve it?
Agree with all of Randy's points. I've hunted Montana as a non-resident since about 1964, mostly deer. The present FWP administration has made so many errors, most of which seem to end up with more and not less licenses being issued. Montana is dear to my heart and I hope some of these... -

Oppurtunity vs Quality Management Impacts CWD Management

Frustrated
RJ the Hunter, regarding Minnesota trespass and game retrieval, look at page 9 of the MN Hunting & Trapping Regulations. Legally posted land cannot be entered to retrieve game without getting permission. There is an exception for a person on foot to enter land that is not posted to retrieve a... -

Unsolicited Recognition
Also nothing but good to say about Pat. Good advice, good products, great pricing on Leupold products. Just bought a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15 x 44 with firedot duplex. Very happy. Dave. -

How to do a private message? Finally posting, toodumb to do the PM.
I've been watching Hunt Talk and related content from Randy for years. I'm closing in on 70 years old so old and dumb. Trying to contact Schmalts to order a Leopold scope. I've asked for help on site but no reply. Where do I go to figure out how to do a PM? I want to get more active here...- Skiller

Hunting without high-priced toys
Good thoughts all around. This reminds me of a quote supposedly attributed to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police: "No sense traveling tough just for the sake of being tough."
