SE Montana winter kill
Look at the highway cams. Granted that's not the whole story, But every highway cam i look at is already showing significant melt. The weather going forward looks fine. We're not even into the really dangerous parts of the year yet for high rates of winter kill to take place. The biologist i... -

Spending Bill and The Forest Service
I'm happy to hear that congress has finally fixed fire spending within the forest service, but I'm not really all that knowledgeable on how the budget works for them. With the Axing of fire borrowing, does this essentially increase the budget of the forest service for non fire programs? How so...- Mule Deer

SE Montana winter kill
Ya, not buying the doom and gloom. Sometimes I wonder if its a tactic to keep People away. But to declare this winter as bad as 2010 when the temps were in the negatives and feet of snow was piling up in early November through April, its hard for me to call it anything but a scare tactic. Its... -

White House Budget Cuts LWCF by $120 Million
Ive worked for two government agencies and multiple offices. While I won't deny the way of doing certain things isn't highly efficient, that's not a agency problem, it's a checks and balances problem brought on by congress. But I feel compelled to say something. Of all the places I've been...- Mule Deer

White House Budget Cuts LWCF by $120 Million
So let's cut programs that people like and strip agencies of being semi capable and with what we cut, let's give that to defense and a wall Mexico was suppose to pay for. Then let's cut taxes and watch the deficit go up. I see what you're saying, but this plan isn't it. And anyone trying to...- Mule Deer

Winter kill?
That's not true. Most certainly parts of Montana and wyoming are still now just now getting a little better from the 2010 / 2011 winter. Even with extremely light winters ever since. Loose use of the word few from the game managers. I really think all the doom and gloom I've been reading... -

Clintons plan for public lands
I'll tell you what, if she could promise that 2m acres would come true I would vote for her tomorrow without hesitation. I know some people will scoff at that, and call me a one issue voter, but that is absolutely huge.- Mule Deer

Good news for eastern mt mule deer!

Homeless on public lands
Recreation departments in federal lands are so under funded and the first to take the cuts when it comes to that. It's never made any sense to me. Yes conservation is great, studies are needed, timbers, and other resources are needed. But, how many people care about how the soil horizon is...- Mule Deer

If there was any doubt where the Montana Shooting Sports Association stood
I sent them an email explaining that sportsmen are not with them on such a stance. I think more people need to start emailing groups like this. Let your disgust be gears. Associations like this need public support. Tell them they won't have it and stances like this will spread unless they show...- Mule Deer

Montana unit 652 buck tag
Not sure what these other guys are saying but the biggest bucks Ive seen in eastern montana were always in that unit. All but two. The year before the winter I saw the biggest mulie I've ever seen. Problem is he only had one side attached. If something bigger broke it off sparring. Well holy... -

WY Wilderness Rule ?
Federal public land shouldn't have limitations set on it by a state regardless of who is in charge of state game. It's a silly rule no matter how you look at it. Set state land aside. It would make more sense. Not Federal land which every us citizen has a right to and pays for. Asinine rule... -

Plan in Idaho to lease off 580 acre of state land to tweed wearing gentry
The problem is awareness. Id bet the amount of people willing to transfer public land to the states is well under 20% of the population. The problem is, its not a main stay issue and isn't really all that discussed during elections.- Mule Deer

Idaho - Public Land Politics
Federal land, in particular forest service is managed better then any state land I've ever seen and I've been to em all west of colorado. Even then it has its issues with over grazing. People are greedy. That's the gist of it. The feds manage land just fine. There are people who want to cut...- Mule Deer

Eastern Montana Mule Deer
Two things. I love antler restrictions. Why? I hate shooting young deer. Give it a chance to live. I've seen it work in Washington first hand in the NE. This thought that you are just going to kill all the older bucks is just baffling to me. Older bucks are smarter. Nothing else really...
