    Comment in Support of FWP Proposed CE in Central MT

    I am OK with this project. However, my gripe is calling it a conservation easement. It's more like a 99 year access lease. Which is fine, as far as it goes. But it's not really longterm conservation. When the lease comes up, our kids and grandkids will be facing a much greater bill to keep that...

    Hunting with Crossover hearing aids?

    I share your predicament. I got crossovers three years ago and love them. THey are the first hearing aids in 30 years that I actually like. THey were a game changer for me and I hope they are for you as well. For example, I heard two ruffed grouse drum this year for the first time in decades...

    Ruana Skinning Knife

    I am helping a widow friend who owns a knife her husband owned that she is trying to sell. It is a Ruana skinning knife, hand-crafted in Bonner, Montana, in the late 1990s. From what I can tell on the internet, these things have some value as collectors' items, especially if they are stamped...

    Will white tail bucks come to a rattle in early December

    Biologically I think it would make sense. The buck's testosterone levels are still high, even if the does are dipping between estrus periods. On the down side, the bucks may be more tired and their social status may already be sorted out, which might make them less likely to respond. But no harm...

    Hunting Medium This Fall (Hunting Hard Pending)

    Condolences! That is tough for 28. But you have lots of seasons in front of you. As a teenager I had to sit out an elk season for knee surgery and it was tough. But now that's just in the rear view mirror. You'll be back at it. Patience!

    Montana Moose

    I drew a moose tag a few years ago and got great advice from Hunt Talkers. I didn't get a moose, but that's tnot Hunt Talk's fault. I just ran out of time. I split my 2 weeks into early October for rut and mid November for tracking snow. October was lovely, weather was warm, but the rut seemed...

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

    I am very familiar with the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation. I've not worked with them in the field but I have worked with them in their strategies and know their people. They are great people who do wonderful work, as are the outfitters who clear many of the trails in the Bob. They are force...

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

    I always get very nervous when people with power want to get away with something "because it's an emergency." Generally, the "emergency" is either imaginary or entirely of their making.

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

    I feel for both sides. The blowdowns this year are stunning. But I also understand the problem of slippery slopes and politicians who like shortcuts. Chainsaws this year. What is next? Not long ago, I was backpacking in a "wilderness" park in Canada. Arrived at an alpine valley to see blue...

    Stories from Hunter Ed

    How many of you have volunteered as a hunter ed instructor? Ever thought about it? I got strong-armed into it 4 years ago and I have to say it's very rewarding. The more I do it, the more I enjoy it. It's very refreshing working with 11 and 12 year olds who are not jaded by hunting media and...

    Helle Knives

    I've had a Helle for several years. (It was the orignal premium for being a life member at BHA). I can't remember the model. The steel is great. The wood handle is very nice looking. Very sturdy knife. I ordered it online and when I received it I realized it was larger than i expected and really...
