    New information on Bullwhacker access

    Wow, 690-21 isn't the easiest permit to draw! I am not over familiar with the bullwhacker area, but that would not be top on my list of places to look for a big bull. They are around, but if I were you I would talk to one of the few landowners that aren't already outfitted. Barbers, Crowleys...

    Is the 100 yrd shot ethical?

    The effectiveness of modern archers at greater distances will ultimately lead to the demise of our long seasons originally intended for primitive equipment. I do know that in Montana, there is a growing group of people that understand that bowhunters kill more big bulls in areas like the...

    MT Moose Goat and Sheep

    I can hardly wait to be disappointed none the less! I check my drawing status at least once a week, even though I have known the drawing dates for months. I'll be watching bonus points like a hawk, and likely not get much work done...

    2015 Private lands Leased to Outfitters map

    I see many errors in the map. The good news is this was supplied by BOO. I'll bet when the dust settles, they wished they had spent more time on it. Some of the areas are BMA's, and have been for several years. Some of these ranches charge for access, but have never had an outfitter in at...

    Game bags

    Best Game Bags Ever: http://pristineventures.com/products/synthetic-game-bags.html I use them over and over for moose, elk, and otherwise.

    Montana Mushrooms?

    I'm excellent on finding the poisonous ones while looking with my kids, then trying to talk myself into believing they are a different, edible species. I now stick to morels, and I have found them in MT as early as 4/29.

    RH, but left-eye dominant

    I also have this affliction. I have been shooting a recurve or longbow my whole life. One day I tried out a left handed longbow at a 3D shoot. I shot excellent out to 15 or so yards, but when I backed up I started shooting wide right. I use my right eye for a rifle, but I end up using my...

    Wilks brothers true colors are shining through.....

    Billy Banger pointed out I was privileged, and I want to say thank you. I am privileged to live in such a great state where decisions like this are made to serve the public's interest. I am privileged enough to work with so many sportsmen that understand where our outdoor heritage would end...

    Proposed 2016-17 MT elk hunting changes

    The department has not fully advertised their evil plans in my opinion. The MBA, and the TBM are just catching up with this nonsense. One of the FWP commissioners was not even made aware of the overlapping seasons. (I had to tell him...) We need more than the MBA & TBM, we need every archery...

    Proposed 2016-17 MT elk hunting changes

    Confirmed at the Lewistown meeting last night. Rifle Hunters will overlap bowhunters on Private, State, and BLM lands in 411. I asked FWP how that is safe, and was told "I sure wouldn't be out there."

    MT Shoulder Season Public Comment

    Something that worries me: In HD 411 the shoulder season will start August 15th, and run through both the archery and general seasons. This shoulder hunt is valid on Private, BLM, and DNRC lands. I archery hunt these lands often. I also hunt these lands with my kids and let them call for me...

    Wilks brothers true colors are shining through.....

    FWP tends to sugar coat the situation in my experience. They are desperately trying to work out some kind of access program to manage an elk herd 700%+ over objective. The people I talk to think that by the Wilks allowing access to shoot 25 cows a year or whatever is some kind of great...

    Wilks brothers true colors are shining through.....

    Bivy: The ranch does donate a few antlerless hunts to hunter education graduates, and I hear they have donated a few antlerless hunts to veterans. From what I was told by those that are fortunate enough to get drawn for these few hunts, you are taken in some kind of vehicle to certain pastures...

    Wilks brothers true colors are shining through.....

    We took 2 out of the Durfees. There was another guy flying a spike out when we pulled in. Looked like the land locked public was getting steady pressure, with near 100% success, but that is just based off of the people I talked to.
