Made it back inside before our daughter started crying, called her teenage brother to come over and help her find the deer and had it gutted laying in the shade when I got home from work.
That was her take. Funny thing about it was that she was holding our 6 month old daughter at the time and in her socks when the buck started eating tomatoes. She put our daughter in her crib, got her bow out from under the bed, opened the front door on the other side of the house and stepped...
One year during archery season my wife shot a buck that came into the yard and was eating tomatoes off a potted plant on our back porch. She snuck around the house and shot him through the lungs. He still had a tomato in his mouth when he died at the edge of the yard.
All I know is that surely I can’t be the only one disappointed that sometime in the Highline primary election Albus didn’t send out a flyer showing him hugging a wolf with rainbows floating out from the wolf’s posterior….😀
If you are on the same page as him on social issues and philosophy of governance then he’s probably going to have more in common with you as a hunter than a candidate linked to Americans for Prosperity.
That’s coming from a person whose ballots are usually more red than blue.
Anything connected to Americans for prosperity in MT is prosperity = money. Resources = commodities. Nothing is worth anything until you sell it and folks who make the most money deserve the most access to resources.
I’ve seen that sentiment in the eyes of folks who are making policy decisions reflected towards individuals on opposite sides of a contentious issue.
If I think I’ve learned anything from my limited engagement on policy debate and decision making at FWP meetings and legislative hearings it’s...
Yet, the quality of hunting on the public adjacent to MPG property comparative to the proposed acreage to be swapped was quoted as a reason to oppose the land swap.
I agree that the quality of hunting/ hunting management can be a red herring. In this case the management policies of the MPG...
As a tangent to this topic, hunters who are wanting access to inholdings of public within private property because the quality of hunting is better there due to the private land access policies need to ask themselves some hard questions.
Why isn’t the quality of hunting on public property...
1800 acres for 8100 acres.
A four to one swap in favor of the public trust in terms of acreage.
Opponents say the 8400 acres don’t contain nearly as good of quality of habitat or hunting opportunity as the 1800 acres offers.
A few observations and questions. Habitat can be rehabilitated...
Trying to decide whether to buy an Argo and wrap a red bandanna around my neck or start packing a bag of sugar in my pack to supplement the gas tanks of guys driving into my favorite elk meadow….
We were going to use ATVs to ride 3 1/2 miles up an ATV legal trail before shouldering our packs...
FWP messaging that older age class bucks have the highest prevelancy rate of CWD infection has been consistent for at least several years. I heard it again just last month a our regional CAC meeting.
E-tag only records time of when the app was validated for harvesting an animal.
All the questions for FWP surveys could easily be included on the app but they aren’t currently part of the E-tag.
Am I the only one confused as to how the director of a state wildlife agency can declare that accessing federal public is illegal when there is (a. No federal or state statute that specifically forbids pedestrian travel across a checkerboard parcel) and
(b. No successful prosecution of corner...
