As a resident and taxpayer here in Montana, I have wondered why non residents are given permits ahead of any resident in limited quota areas? I know the FWP sets a side up to 10%, but why should ANY NR get a tag over a resident? I understand a NR hunting in general areas, and the fact that...
Decided to finally purchase a phone skope this new year. I will be getting a new phone in the coming weeks also, I see that makes a difference on what to purchase. Anyone using a phone skope have any reviews or hints?
Today, September 1, 2016 the Montana carriers enforcement stopped all diesel vehicles coming out of Glasgow NW of town. I pulled over as instructed to do, the officer tried to hand me a green card, I refused, he then said he would dip my fuel tank, I asked what probable cause he had, he said...
Spent Tuesday afternoon and evening in Sheridan county, taking a few supplies to firefighters battling a fire that apparently started by a combine from what I understand, I heard it had burned 12,00 acres NW of Medicine Lake. Thankfully it is now contained. The winds were blowing up to 40 mph...
I have found 2 of these blinds, they are not cheap, Cabelas sells them for $4000, think you might have to pay shipping also. The 2 I found, 1 is as new, never been out of building, but no warranty. The second I want to keep, it has couple small holes in it and has been a kids place place for 4...
If you get the chance and make it to Ft. Peck some time, check out the Veterans Memorial, this picture I took doesn't do it justice, it is a superb way to remember those that have sacrificed so much. So if your traveling thru the highline, please make a stop, well worth the effort. It was...
Found out I received my elk "b" tag, along with a whitetail doe tag, was hoping to get my first choice of a mule deer doe, but there were only 25 for the district I hunt, so I will take the whitetail tag. I am not sure when they will let public know how many tags are left in each district, but a...
I was able to watch a grizzly romp around for about 1 minute in south central Montana, the first time I have seen a grizzly outside of a national park in the lower 48. I was doing a quick drive thru on a ranch I hunt and was lucky enough to spot him before he saw me. I only had my phone camera...
Interested in hearing folks opinion of DU, Myself and wife have been contributor's for quite a few years now in Montana, but a couple of events in the last couple of years has us re-thinking that sponsorship. Thanks.
Well, seeing broods here in NE Montana, have had some beneficial rains, great cover as we speak, and there should be plenty of insects for the little ones. I am the forever optimist, but thinking if mother nature cooperates, this could be a great fall, with quite a bit of carry over from last...
So I went this past weekend to look around the ranch I deer and elk hunt in south central Montana, in one evening and a morning I saw 5 groups of elk and lots of mulies and whitetails. The one weird thing I did see were 2 small bulls with antlers still on, and NO, they were not new antler...
Hung out Saturday in Sheridan county and visited my friend and hunted a few of his birds. Was a beautiful day, the calm before the storm, was just me and my two hounds, we saw quite a few birds, though the next day my buddy called and let me know birds were bailing into his crp left and right...
I have been invited to hunt hogs near Ft. Bragg, just wondering what to expect, any info appreciated, sounds like the ranch is inland a bit, we would be hunting between 2000-3000. Are there lots of people in the area?
Two more Montana bucks taken by young hunters today, youth season, one mulie, one whitetail. You have to love the smiles on a young hunters face when they reap success in the field, well done boys!
Looks like a great opener coming up this weekend, wish the weather would be a little cooler for the hounds, but, like they say, "careful what you wish for", especially here in Montana! Farmers and ranchers I know are all pretty optimistic on bird numbers, I can not wait to break out the over...
