    MT - Changes in Hunting Regs/Units/Seasons coming this month

    Most of the advisory council folks have been very responsive when I have contacted them. Complete opposite of commissioners or legislators. I have been told that the councils will play a larger role in season setting now and in the future. Can’t hurt to try it either….just flood anyone...

    Don’t forget the each FWP region has a citizen advisory committee. Call the regional office, get the contact info for them and tell them what you think of these ideas.

    Kalispell family ponds

    Pine Grove is a wonderful place to take kids. Very family friendly. Call the R1 FWP office and ask to talk with one of the folks in fisheries, and tell them you are looking for a place to fish with your kids. The Flathead Valley probably has the best family fishing opportunities in MT...

    "You know this is why I hate hunting, right"

    Enjoy it while you can. A wise man once told us all “you will run out of health before you run out of money”. A lot of us will run out of kids before we run out of health! Enjoy it while you can.

    Kids rifle conundrum....

    My daughter did her first hunt at 12 with my Ruger 77 UL in 243, then for her 13th birthday we got her the same rifle (Ruger 77 UL) but in a 270. She is deadly with it on deer, antelope, elk, and even a bighorn. it's a great size for her, plus fairly lightweight. She is about 5' 6" and 130#...

    Feeling discouraged.

    I probably would have started this topic after opening weekend if someone else hadn't done it first. Family member with a breaks bull tag, and we put LOTS of miles on the boots the weekend, and lots of time behind the binos, and saw one cow in three days. Feeling lots of pressure to find elk...

    Opening Day Anxiety, just me?

    Counting down one week until i head to the breaks to set up camp for my college daughter and her bull tag. Hope we can even get into our camp, it’s been awfully wet out there. Only have weekends to hunt, so it will be a lot of windshield time for her on Friday and Sunday nights. We both have...

    MT 380-20 Tag

    We saw the same dead animal on the interstate on Saturday as we moved our daughter back from MSU. A big black dead animal, from a distance I thought possibly bear, but it had a big old tail and distinctly dog like head. My wife got a better and longer look as I was driving, but she said...

    Best time to buy map chip?

    I know OnX is a sponsor here, and I recall seeing promotions in the past, so I am wondering when the best time would be to buy a GPS map chip for the 2017 season in the state of Montana. Planning to keep it for multiple years.

    First time paddlefish fishing.

    Nice fish and a great photo. Looks you were fishing the north side, is the shuttle service running? Sounds like it will be a quick season with 200+ taken today. I am hoping to take my kids over memorial weekend for C&R, if it stays open that long!

    Broken screen on Garmin gps

    I dropped my Garmin gps map 62 on a rock and cracked the screen. It is not a touch screen. Garmin charges a flat fee of about $110 to repair. Anyone ever tried it themselves or know of a cheaper alternative?

    He's done!

    Connor is a great young man, and he will be fantastic as a warden. I worked with him a bit a few summers ago in Helena, and it was obvious from the first day that he had the drive, energy, and commitment to succeed. Glad to see that his hard work has paid off with a dream job. As a Capital...

    Breaks Rifle Tag - 622 Elk

    Good point on the skeeters. They didn't seem bad at all back in mid-sept, but a few years ago I remember wishing I had a head net to wear while we were hunting sharp tails just before dark. Crazy to think there could be bugs like that out on the prairie.

    Dry weather to enable access, dry weather to concentrate animals closer to water, or dry weather important for some other reason?
