    Pick a state to become a resident ...

    If you're actually considering opportunities for your kids as well as hunting, then I'd say Utah or Colorado. If it was just hunting then Alaska, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana.

    2024 Draw results

    Not a birth right, more to do with living here and having to pay Montana State taxes. It's not just NR they don't want hunting, it's residents from anywhere else in the state. License plates from different counties are frowned upon during hunting season. 😀

    Montana Proposed Black Bear Season Changes

    I would think that an extension until June 15th would make a big change in region one. Many areas in Region one would become much more accessible by June than they are in mid May.

    Fixing social security

    Social Security - the name itself means security for society. It's not a savings program for individuals. It was brought about to prevent elderly people being too poor to survive on their own. It is absolutely ridiculous that someone making millions gets to stop contributing at a little over...

    Pyramid Lumber in Seeley Lake, MT Closing

    Sorry to see this happen to Pyramid Lumber and the town of Seely Lake. I've managed sawmills that got shut down. Some people will have worked there since high-school for maybe 30 plus years, and not worked anywhere else, making it hard to find other employment even if willing to relocate...

    American Cities

    I've lived in Kalispell since 1981. I have no idea why someone would ever think it was overrun with hippie types.

    Montana Fentanyl and Meth. Mexican Drug Cartel Focus.

    My youngest son died of a fentanyl overdose. It was 3 years ago and I found him right here in the room where I am now typing this. It changed my perception of what people who OD on drugs are like. I had incorrectly though of them as people on the fringes of society, down on their luck...

    Montana Archery Elk Research?

    I wouldn't worry about drawing special permits. I'd hunt general units. As for unit 380, I spent most of this past bowhunting season in it, as a friend of mine drew the bull tag. Anyone who says that you'd have to settle for a 320 bull is either deliberately trying to mislead or was looking...

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    I would guess that the majority of Montana hunters are not willing to give up opportunity. I would guess that if FWP catered to the majority of their customers wants, then hunting would deteriorate further. So wanting the public to be involved in decision making, might not be that great of an...

    Montana Representative Rosendale at it again

    So they prefer to be screwed by Republicans?

    Bend Over

    When I was un my late teens in Ireland, I injured my back playing sports. I went to a chiropractor a couple of times, both times I was there over 30 mins getting "worked on". Both times I felt good initially, but the next day the pain returned. Then I went to see a chiropractor in Belfast...

    My arrow just hit a TWIG en route to the deer of a lifetime

    Before I ever killed a bull elk with my bow, I had arrows be deflected by twigs at least 3 times. The worst one was when a shot at a charging black bear got deflected and sailed past her.

    Hopefully you find it tomorrow. Good luck.

    Post-pandemic US GDP rate compared to G20 countries

    Can't say that I disagree with you, the US appears to have rebounded better than any other economy. It may mean it falls most when things go bad?

    Post-pandemic US GDP rate compared to G20 countries

    The economy always has cycles, no matter which political party is in office. The current cycle has been an incredibly long up cycle, basically from back during Obama, continuing trough Trump, and now through Biden. History says it will down cycle at some point, as it always does. Personally...

    Grizzly Incident Count

    I think it's got to be, by far, due to the vast increase in the number of grizzly bears. Bears are showing up places that they haven't been in 100 years, and now people live in those places. I'm not sure that I buy the idea that more people recreating is a major part of the problem. Actually...

    MT opener

    I'm at home, couldn't leave this evening. My son, whom I'll meet up with tomorrow, sent me an inreach message from his bivy sack on a mountain in the Great Bear Wilderness. He was watching elk from his sleeping bag before dark.

    Ryan Busse for Governor?

    I think that Busse might have won running as a Democrat a few years ago, but not now, too many far right people have moved to Montana in the last few years. No Democrat can win a state wide election now.
