    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    It's not personal to you or the mule deer group's efforts. I've tried to be clear about that, and if I haven't, I apologize. I've made my case. Either people will take it to heart and stop alienating allies, or it will be a long uphill battle with no end in sight until all the mule deer are...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    As I said to @cgasner1 earlier, it was for rhetorical effect, and it worked, perhaps too well (Gerald didn’t respond with a novel, that’s a first). If you want to gain any traction with your ideas you need to confront this kind of opposition and work within the system, not outside of it. Many in...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    And I actually think you’ve been doing a good job of it Chris. You care and are working to make a difference, don’t get bogged down by whining, and I can certainly say from personal experience you’re doing your part to reach across the aisle. My post was largely for rhetorical affect, as many of...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    Rep Hinkle is a born and raised Montanan. There are few things that make native Montanans more angry than people who move here and start acting like and telling us "they know best." It shows a deep ignorance and disrespect for who we are and what we believe. It's been a repeating loop our whole...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    Incredibly well said and thoughtful @WanderWoman, thank you. I've had to hit the "ignore" button now on a second person on HT when the conversation finally became reductive, unproductive, and personal. I was surprised about who I had to ultimately block out, because like you said here, I saw...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    I don’t disagree with this at all. It’s one thing to look at the mistakes from the past and learn from them though, and another to moan and groan about how great it used to be. One is constructive analysis, and ultimately still forward looking. The other is useless nostalgia.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    I wasn’t alive for much of the 80s, but this is good to know. Some people always tend to look at the past through rose-colored glasses, and part of why they feel that way could have nothing to do with the deer. They were younger, fitter, and there were under 800,000 people living in the State...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    Well said @Nameless Range I've somehow become the strawman for "someone who is content," so I will try to fix the record on that, because it's not what I've been saying. Mule deer management in Montana can improve, and it will. There's enough people working on new ideas and we've reached a...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    I’m a 4th generation Montanan whose family homesteaded in Eastern Montana. I’ve been involved in conservation one way or another my whole life. I don’t have much patience personal attacks either. I really thought better of you Buzz. But yes, perhaps it is time for people who want to make...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    I seem to have hit a nerve. But I just don’t have much patience anymore for all the circular whining and unproductive nostalgia about the past, and this thread is chock full of it. You don’t seem to understand the nuance of my post though. I didn’t say things are hunky dory, so stop putting...

    Meet & Greet with Patrick Berry Tonight!

    Hello all, Just a heads up: Montana BHA is hosting a meet & greet pint night with Patrick Berry, CEO of BHA National, tonight at the Meateater Store in Bozeman. Along with some of our volunteers and friends at Meateater, Representative Joshua Seckinger (sponsor of HB 763, the bill to help...

    HB145 - Increase NR license fees

    Good caveat @SAJ-99. I wouldn't be so quick to criticize Greg Munther for not having the right perspective, though. He's forgotten more about fighting for conservation in Montana than most of us will ever know.

    You're right, but that's not my point.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    However, it's just as much of a fallacy to think we can go back to the "good old days" and still give everyone what they want. Montana's population is much bigger. The nonresident dollars are too important to FWP. Block management enrollment is falling. CWD is a reality. Elk are outcompeting...

    Montana 2025 Legislative Session

    Very happy to inform everyone that the legislative session has come to a close, both houses moved to sine die. All that is left is signatures from the governor. More to come, but I am elated to report that Montana BHA's priority bills HB 283 and HB 763 both made it through and are on their way...

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    I think they do most of their dirty work at a train station. Also, white collar criminals just don't get caught as much.

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    Billings has the worst crime rate in MT, 1/3 of all criminal cases in the State of Montana are filed in Yellowstone County. Stabbings have gone down, but youth shootings and gang stuff has gone up.
