Probably the same guy you're thinking of. He's a well-known sheep guide. Same guy that FWP tried to catch in the sting operation that went wrong in 2010.
No, I’d certainly have an interest in hunting them. On the other hand, even if we established a new herd in eastern MT that I knew I could never hunt, it would bring me some joy just knowing they were there. Maybe we end up with a herd that isn’t hunted at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if they...
It will be a sticky situation. Everyone wants to see more sheep on the landscape, but a lot of hunters are only seriously interested in more sheep if they have the ability to eventually have a chance to hunt those sheep.
I’ve been pretty disappointed with my Sig this year too. The angle compensation seems to be working at times and other times it will be completely off. The other day I ranged a target at a known distance and my rangefinder was several hundred yards off. I had a foggy morning earlier this fall...
Do you change the water daily? I only degrease for about a week. Seems to be plenty for elk, but I can tell my deer skulls could stand to be degreased for longer. I change the water daily but doing it every day for months would be a pain.
I heard an influencer from MT mention on a podcast today that he has about 65 cameras out. The model of camera he uses is about $140. That’s $9100 just for the cameras. He’s also mentioned that he puts 128gb SD cards in the ones that he leaves out all year. Those average about $50 a piece. He...
That would be ideal but I don’t see that happening in this day and age. Even the trad bow hunters I know, “purists”, if you will, are using cell cams now.
I totally agree that they are a great tool for trapping and I wish more trappers would use them outside of hunting season. I’d probably do the same if I was a trapper.
I love to run trail cameras as much as anyone (I’ve had as many as 30 out at one time in units I don’t even plan to hunt), but...
Some states like Nevada you’re supposed to have them down by a certain date. I believe Arizona recently put a full ban on them.
I believe Montana’s regs were intended to make cell cams illegal during the season. The regs state you can’t use them “while hunting”. I bet there isn’t one person in...
