Why would anyone buy a knife with a handle wrapped in paracord?
I can only imagine how slick and stinky that must get after a full dunk in a bloody chest cavity.
Until someone can figure out a way to manage human greed there’s always going to be conflict around limited resources.
Removal of public land outfitters isn’t going to change human nature.
The private companies who extract minerals, oil, gas and the folks who graze their cattle and sheep on the land.
Grazers already pay a small fee. Hard rock miners pay no royalties for the non- renewable resources they extract for private profit.
However the courts end up deciding in this case the public isn’t going to be gaining access to any of those BLM sections except through an invitation from the landowner (s) or by helicopter or airplane.

My guess is that those of us who say we’ve had critters downwind of us that never smelled us are probably mistaken about what was downwind in that situation. As mentioned before, the wind often switches directions within any given distance. It’s entire possible that a wind on the back of our...

The absolute worst wind to have go towards animals in my opinion is a cloudy day with high humidity and 40-50 degrees with about 5-10 mph drifting towards...

But we’re first in having the Legislature attempting to pass or passing wildlife management law rather than letting FWP and the Commission decide what Montana residents want for management of their wildlife resources.
So we do have that going for us…😏
My numbers may be a bit off and I am going from memory but the last time I added up all the in excess of NR cap licenses that you listed above I think I came up with right around 32,600 NR hunters with either sex deer or elk or deer/elk licenses. That’s not including any NR hunters who held...
One of the more popular units in xxx was @ 25% for drawing a rifle permit about five years ago. I started applying there without carefully tracking draw odds because it was a unit I wanted to hunt and I didn’t care if I didn’t hunt antelope every year. I think odds were down to 2% for drawing...
