    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    The alternative to high density housing is sprawl in to undeveloped land (wildlife habitat).

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    I am part of the problem, coming here for my first visit in 1989 and moving here in 1991. At that time, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle was filled with ads, "Take Over Payments." The economy sucked. If you were moving to Bozeman, or most anywhere in SW Montana at that time, people questioned your...

    Randy Newberg on Matt Rinella's Podcast

    All good points but no one answers the simple question: If social media and promoting western hunting to gain advocates for the cause is helping then why is it getting so much worse? Buzz, many people wish you weren’t involved at all. Nonresidents that have funded your state for years lost half...

    Once In a Lifetime

    Hank- I agree with a lot of what you said. My proposal of cubing or preference is not my preferred system. I stand in the corner of if it‘s not broke, don’t fix it. My point was simply that there are ways in which the legislature could markedly increase odds, and OIL is not one of them. Montana...

    Pendley to be nominated to head BLM

    A good discussion w/ various HT Members supportive and a couple not as supportive when Zinke announced the HQ move out west. https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/zinke-intends-to-move-blm-hq-etc.284230/ **************************** Several aspects of Mountain States Legal Foundation I appreciate...

    Great American Outdoors Act

    States may do a better job of managing lands. I think a lot of folks would agree with that. Though I would point out that there is a lot of bureaucracy even at the state level. Unfortunately the situation you are dreaming of has no basis in reality anytime soon or ever. The folks pushing for...

    Ever Mistake a Hunter for a Deer/Bear/Elk?

    Ha Ha! I was just going to add that exact point - how many stumps have you been SURE were a black bear.. but why won’t it move??? LOL

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    I made these maps a couple years ago showing development across the landscape over time. I think they do a good job painting a picture that Bozeman is a free-for-all and a poorly planned example of growth across a landscape. The second map is Missoula - an entirely different picture. Though I...

    Population Growth and Hunting in Rocky Mountain States

    It is just the reality. There isn't a way around it. Populations grow. Animal populations decrease as man's footprint increases, and wild places get further apart. I escaped midwestern suburban hell the first chance I could 12 years ago. I finished school in my home state and after a year and a...

    Where should I move to in MT?

    I have lived in Butte, Helena, Dillon and Chester, and Conrad. I can not speak for the hospitals in the bigger places but if I have to put in order the towns I would want to live in based on the type of hunting I do Deer, antelope, and waterfowl. I would have to go 1) Great Falls ( Elk...

    Talk to me about TN (Knoxville/Maryville area)

    I hate to say this but VA is stacking up to be the next CA when it comes to many things. The state is a D stronghold now at the state and federal level and we are having gun laws pushed down our throats by northern VA and parts of E VA. I would go to TN hands down personally I'm trying to go...

    And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.

    Seems like outfitters are out to get their's Residents don't give a crap unless it effects them. Why do we just make all NR tags private land only, make them $2000 with an unlimited quota, you just have to purchase them from a landowner. Keeps all the pesky NR, on private land/fully guided/and...

    De-publicize, De-glorify and De-monetize Western State Hunting

    I think that you are putting too much weight on the affect of hunting media and too little weight on the affect of migration into the west. I would wager that the vast majority of people moving out there aren’t moving out there because of Fresh Tracks and Meateater or even with hunting as a...

    De-publicize, De-glorify and De-monetize Western State Hunting

    Don't look to New England to see what I'm talking about. Come to the Southeast. Money talks. All the good ol' boys who complain about lease prices and have hunting pride sold out of daddy's land. Game lands are getting crowded out by dog walkers who don't like the idea that they share the woods...

    Best state to take up residency

    It's your girlfriend...not your wife. See if she'd like to move west. If not, they have girls there too.

    Best Western State to Move to

    “I just hope they grow with people that see what's wrong with the coastal states and seek opportunity and happiness elsewhere.” Great points. Growth is inevitable (If your location was the 51st State it would be included in this conversation and should be anyway. I am amazed with the lack of...

    Best state to take up residency

    Jealous of your situation! I've been trying to talk my girlfriend to get out of Illinois and move out west. At least before they start taxing us to move out of the state!

    De-publicize, De-glorify and De-monetize Western State Hunting

    90/10 doesn't create a bigger pie by itself. It gives residents a bigger slice of the same pie - specific to Wyoming, around 3,600 limited quota tags across all species, per year, based on 2019 numbers/populations - including 30+ bighorn sheep tags. Right now it takes 19+ years to draw a...

    And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.

    Holy smokes! A lot of frustrated people the last few days. I am a NR and I can't blame WY for wanting to move from 20% to 10% one single bit! As stated earlier, it is the "industry standard". Wouldn't you want to see this change if you lived in WY? I sure would! I was born and raised in...
