i had a chamois head/skin in my day pack and when i got back to camp set it down and after making lunch found the kea had unzipped my pack and taken everything out of it. he was still just standing there look over the mess he just made but did leave all right where he set it so i didnt have to...
devon you lost out with them because you are a nice guy and went along with there bullshit findings so as to not miss your plane. i am an asshole that will never take no as an answer from somebody behind a desk with the IQ of my shoe laces. oh and yes i did miss my plane but i still have my hand...
the declaration of compliance is just that . i got my letter from a tannery and in a nut shell it say he has inspected my hides/head/horns and found them to meet the requirements for transport and importation into the usa based on what the usa requires for bring them in. it is not needed but i...
no issue bringing them back into usa i had the skin salted and dried and the head/horns boiled and cleaned. plus i had a certificate of export
from DOC [ $40 ] and a declaration of compliance [ $25 ] from a local tannery
all money well spent as i have come past customs now a few times and...

thanks for the clearer outlook on what these blocks are for kiwi. yes the ground is very hard going and not sure there is very many hunters that can or even want to try to walk into this block or any other i bet. we had a great time and looking forward to doing it again 1 day if a block permit...
a tahr block is all public land that DOC [ like our forest service ] set aside with very limited number of permits given out. not sure why they do it but i was told it is to manage an older class of tahr. if somebody reading this knows why please had it so we all know why they do it. all the...
just returned from a tahr hunt in new zealand. started out a few months ago when a hunting mate in nz got a tahr ballot block for may 7-13 and sent me an invite to join in on the hunt. in the area he got we would be the 2nd group in on this area. the first group of guys was 3 of them hunting...
yes you would think so but they are not with the number 5 in both minor and major
it is up to the county to rule your subdivision if it is 5 lots as minor or major
and yes this was in missoula county. they should have 1-5 as a minor and 6-? as a major
but they have 5 in both
this is just another area that should not have a gray area to it . a hunter planning to big game hunt in mt should not need a lawyer on retainer just to find out where and where not he can hunt.. anybody i ran into a gray area kinda like this when i did a subdivision on some land i own . 1 -5...
i fell into this trouble getting on to BLM land i wanted to antelope hope a few yrs ago.
being the type of guy that loves to solve problems i did some looking and map after map and found away to get to this BLM land by crossing this private land but still not be trespassing . the first time i...
you are so right about that . on another forum there was a guy back east and i will leave the state out of it so nobody thinks i am picking on there state that was bitching about this huge ranch [ 100 ac ] that he hunts wild boar on was starting to charge to much for there boar hunts. he was not...
so now that this extreme hunter has filmed himself taking a BOONER does this put him at the front of the line to be a high ranking pro staffer ? does anybody know what his next move be to place in the master guide hall of fame oops thats hall of shame:eek:
it was not that long ago when 2 bags was the norm and they could be 75lbs. i had a friend drive my truck/camper and jet boat from mt to alaska for caribou/moose/fish .
and then the rest of us would just fly up. this worked out great coming home from alaska as we had a nice scale to weigh the...
i was at a friends taxidermy shop a few yrs back and a guy brings in a very nice bull elk to get mounted and he asked if he could send over somebody to have it scored for boone and crocket . this guy just knew his big bull elk would make the book because his back country guide told him it would...
