    Best burger recipe

    Great thread, lots of good tips I’m going to try. Thank you fellow burger nerds. We like elk smash burgers cooked on a very hot griddle, thin, two minutes per side, with pepper Jack cheese, grilled onions and BigMac copy-cat sauce. Only heathens and crossbow shooters don’t toast their buns…...

    Grazing fees, the economics of elk and cattle

    To increase the grazing fees to fair market value we just need to create a webpage where public grazing allotments can be reserved.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    Yes I know that, but for an outfitter to suggest limiting all nonresident hunters to a typical outfitted hunt window because he cares about the tax base seems rather disingenuous.

    Montana - Time to Shake it Up?

    What a selfless suggestion... Wouldn't it be far easier to simply reduce the number of NR tags if the goal was to reduce NR pressure? Or would that cut into profits too much?

    Montana or Wyoming General Elk

    If you really want to learn the craft of elk hunting I would pick Montana. The seasons are much longer giving you a chance to gain more experience, and there is very little chance of your hunt being cut short due to filling your tag.

    Processing Time - Start to Finish?

    It takes me about 14 hours for an elk. This includes setup, a quick trip to the store for beef fat, cutting, double grinding the burger portion, a half hour break to watch the Vikes lose again, then packaging and cleanup. My wife helps with all the labeling and vacuum sealing which saves me a...

    Deer - lets see em

    It’s easy for me to blame nonresidents for these depopulation events in Montana, but as was temporarily evidenced above Montanans can stack the mulie doe carcasses just as high…

    Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?

    This thread has some really great information. Here are the weights of my 2023 Montana 5x5 bull, this bull was carefully quartered and weighed so these should be fairly accurate. Quarters were hide off and lower leg removed at the knee. The last three bulls I've weighed each had 39 pound...

    American Prairie Reserve Purchases 14,000 Acre Ranch

    Things are starting to get weird: Is there payment for these negative easements or is it more just a pinky-promise kind of thing? If there is a payment who is funding it?

    Section of BLM camping restricted?

    This is unfortunately accurate. A Sheriff once told us to leave an area of Gila National Forest after an outfitter called him. The sheriff said he didn’t want us screwing up the hunt the client had paid $19,000 for on a bull the outfitter had pre scouted. “I’m sure you boys can find some...

    2023 spring turkey!

    This year’s Jakes from NW Montana. Getting to hunt turkeys in the Ponderosas was super cool. About the time we were starting to think that waking up at 3:45 on a Saturday was a really dumb idea they gobbled hard in the pines up ahead and turned the whole day around.

    HB486 - increase fines illegal road closure

    Am I reading this right? The Knudsen ranch tried to block access to an American Legion city park that was donated in honor of WWII veterans in small town Culbertson? It almost sounds like the overly villainous plot of a Minions movie.

    Weaponizing sound and light over private land air space.

    Since you're in Michigan, have you tried climbing up on your roof and explaining to your neighbor your current automobile issues?

    SB 497 - Attack on Stream Access

    Well said. I reluctantly reached this same point during the 2021 session.
