Honestly I'd just get a set of Vortex diamondback 10x42s next time they come on sale on midway. I have the older generation of them, and they are my daily drivers as I am not afraid to drop them, fall on them or get them covered in mud. Anytime I look through a more expensive set of glass, the...
As hard as it is to insure anything built on those lands for the reasons I previously mentioned, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a lot of willing sellers.
To be honest, I wonder if this isn't a way to protect against future hurricane damages. It seems every decade or so a storm comes through and wipes out a lot of homes and businesses. Create a conservation area, and then you no longer have to worry about the area getting developed with...
I don't know jack about conservation, but if Mule deer are struggling across the west, why is anyone shooting a mule deer doe? Legitimate question (don't crucify me plz)
While driving home from an unsuccessful day hunt for spring bear, on a dirt road near Augusta I came across these two antelope bucks that did not seem to care about my presence, nor get out of the road.
At first I thought they were stuck together somehow, so I got out of the pickup to see if...
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.
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.
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
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...
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:

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...
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?
