    Make the case for federalizing game species

    I would make the statement that if you don’t pay taxes the land quickly becomes someone else’s that will pay rent / taxes. We “own” nothing

    Make the case for federalizing game species

    Aside from the reasoning that the federal government can’t manage the bureaucracy it already has in place?

    Sheep cape

    Has anyone ever heard of the reasoning that a cape and skull have to be together when presented? Seems like the unlimited rams would have a decent chance of slipping the hair off the head as it’s pretty warm opening week.

    Yellowstone River grizzly carcass

    As you were THERE, was it an especially bad spot in the river to access? Picture looks like the edge of a riffle….

    Yellowstone River grizzly carcass

    I read the same sound-bite. By the pictures I have seen it looks like any other section of a river that gets floated by every day. Seems like FWP could have done a better job of out of sight out of mind, and decided to leave it there. I of course have absolutely no say (other than...

    Yellowstone River grizzly carcass

    So has anyone else seen the news of the “problem food conditioned grizzly” that MT FWP euthanized? Bear was shot while in the river near Gardner and it died and floated downstream. They located the bear and simply removed the feet and head and left the rest of the carcass in the river. Seems...

    Which Caliber for Elk

    Thank you for your service! As to reducing recoil, why not have a gunsmith cut threads onto the barrel and add a muzzle break? I’ve killed plenty of elk with ear plugs or muffs on. If your being sneaky and have time the extra seconds to add ear protection is manageable. A little ring can cover...

    MT general Seasons

    It depends on the area and what the animals are doing there. Some areas hold elk before the snow, other spots when pressure hits, other spots as the snow moves them out of other areas. We have had 1.5 to 2 ft of snow the second week of archery, and sometimes don’t have a foot by thanksgiving...

    Tell Me which 22LR rifle to buy

    My understanding is that a VUDOO is about as close to the pinnacle as anything. You looked at their product?

    So it happens.....

    After suffering a broken jaw I think the guy that got beat up should get a pass on not video documenting or photographing the other vehicles. I expect that it surely reduces your cognitive abilities in the short term.

    Husky mistaken for wolf

    Sad to see everyone piling on the other posts, none of us were there, didn’t see the same views of the animal. We have all shot a deer / elk we thought was bigger / somehow different after it’s on the ground.

    Husky mistaken for wolf

    I searched for “husky” and didn’t see it. Sorry to fracture the discussion

    Husky mistaken for wolf

    https://flatheadbeacon.com/2022/09/27/investigation-underway-in-husky-shooting-near-doris-creek/ I expect a few other people have seen this story in the news. Is it possible she could have not had a good look at its head? (The most distinctive part to me)

    Landowner and Hunter.

    A database of landowners looking for assistance with projects would be of great way to build some relationships with landowners. Even if they don’t let you hunt they would have a better opinion of hunters if we made a positive difference.

    Do you carry a handgun as a backup when hunting?

    I purchased a 10mm this fall for carrying, been using a KelTec PMR30 (22 Magnum) for same purpose but decided to get something larger.

    New Director for MT FWP

    Dragging this thread back out of the trash….. how about those members that know the director get the rest of us all informed on what the heck is going on? Now a full reorganization of FWP? At this point I almost expect to hear all landowners will be deputized and given a FWP wage as a game warden

    Field judging with a second focal plane scope?

    So, I am NOT a scope expert but a few years back I saw mention that judging a Yukon moose with a mil-dot system was possible (to identify a 50” moose for a non-resident). Would judging like that require a second focal plane scope? And would it even be practical? Reason I ask is I’m am in the...
