    Montana road trip

    Yes, I don’t work with peas much, but iirc the price isn’t great so there’s reduced acres this year. Plus with the early spring, most everything is already in the ground by now.

    Montana road trip

    I’m an agronomist in the Golden Triangle (Great Falls, Shelby, Havre). There’s a lot of dry land farming that goes on, and it’s pretty common to leave a field fallow every other, or every third year in order to replenish the limited moisture we get.

    2026 bears

    Currently at 6000 feet in NW Montana. There’s so much feed everywhere, I’m about to call an audible and find some higher country

    Colorado 2026 bears

    Take good care of the meat and they’ll taste just fine. I don’t have any bear specific recipes, but whatever you do, be sure to check the internal temp with a probe and make sure it’s at least 165 degrees

    Colorado 2026 bears

    Normally I’d say to call the local forest service office, but they might’ve been doge’d. A local game warden though might have the answer. Don’t key into one spot/drainage/region of the unit though. With the crazy weather they’ve had, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to plan to be agile and move...

    Memorial day weekend roadtrip to R1

    Well it is my first spring in MT (sorry natives) and I'm planning on making a trip west in search of adventure, bears, and to a lesser extent if I happen to stumble upon some, turkey. Therefore, for those more familiar with the area, considering the seasons, I have a few questions: 1...

    Frank Church Wilderness to allow chain saws......

    Okay then maybe say "chainsaws are okay, all other motors and engines require bureaucracy"

    Frank Church Wilderness to allow chain saws......

    I don't have the time or patience to nitpick and properly quote everyone but one theme I'm noticing here is that some are making the "all or nothing" argument. Why does it have to be that way? In the days of electric chainsaws and such, why can't they make a provision to the rules saying "motors...

    2026 bears

    The creek bottoms near me are green as can be, all full of grass. The problem though, they’re densely timbered. Anything high enough to see through is still brown. Does this mean it’s time to still hunt for these?

    Turkeys

    Went out for a mid day hunt that coincided with the few hours of sunlight. Somehow found myself on a steep hill in the middle of 3 or 4 birds gobbling their heads off. One snuck up within 20 yards of me but I never got a shot due to the terrain. I then circled around to be on the same elevation...

    PhD dissertation defense at MSU-Bozeman

    This is awesome! Ironically I just defended my masters thesis today which was a case study on how farmers can leverage carbon incentives and such. Congratulations again. How can one read your dissertation? I’d be very interested in doing so
