    State and federal co-management of national Forest?

    Wasn't there a "Hunt-talk weekly" podcast episode a while back where Marcus interviewed a former peer of his from biologist school, and the dude mentioned that research suggests that elk populations are down in NW MT due to cessation of logging?

    Montana bear units

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    I understand that having quality rings is good in this situation, but what exactly do those scope brands provide in this scenario that Leupold, Vortex, or other common scope manufacturers don't? (for the record, I am in fact mounting a NF)

    Y'all are awesome. Thank you for confirming what I already wanted to do. With that said, has anybody had any issue with a 300 WM having enough recoil to mess with your scope due to the high amount of recoil? Especially when using a heavier scope?

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    Someone of reasonable mindset please tell me what y'all do? Most tactical, over zealous tactical rifle folks act like you want to worship the devil when you suggest mounting rings directly to the factory dovetail.

    Moving to California... tell me what to expect.

    Non-political Make ICE hate make sense to me. Can it be civil?

    What are your 2026 Outdoor Plans

    This is my first year as a Montana resident. I'm extremely excited to take advantage of the opportunities that affords. Specifically the spring turkey, spring bear, and OTC elk. I will also put in for LE tags here as well as some long shots in other states. Also some friends and I should be...
