This made me laugh but there is a lot of hunters that do need to take this test. Especially the ones pooping on the roads.

Would hate to have to act excited from shooting a 150” mule deer on a guided Montana hunt

I think I would have to decline the guided hunt or the accompanied cow elk hunts provided

So true. Some outfitters constantly find better deer, but the vast majority bucks taken by outfitter clients are sub 160.

Reading between the lines, makes you wonder if FWP thinks we are all a bunch of fudds, that would be more than happy to bounce around two track roads all day in a smelly old truck and shoot a rutting 150 inch buck. Kind of dovetails with the lace up the boots tighter if you are not seeing the bucks you want attitude.

I have a better idea. If FWP can spend money to give individual hunters this kind of access. How about FWP offer to fly hunters in to the landlocked public of their choice. Wouldn't that light the fuse on some fireworks.

I believe these opportunities and equipment raffles were all donated to the state to help draw attention to this public outreach/education. Not saying its the best approach, but theyre trying to educate hunters in some way while also providing some sort of incentive/attention grabber. If it means a few less people tearing up muddy roads or few more people leaving gates how they found them, then ill be happy.

Maybe we could get BHA to donate the money for the fly in hunts.

Lets get on it!

I see how most randoms hunt when invited out to hunt the ranch i work on, I'd might not reccomend adding a helicopter to that equation...

I signed up and completed the test a few months ago. If someone couldnt pass they shouldnt be allowed to own a firearm or hunt. A lot of these BMA operators deal with a ton of bs for 4-5 months in the busiest time of year. I would have no problem getting private access to cow elk hunt. Once I win next spring Im going to donate the hunt to my kids....

You can donate it? Might be worth taking the test then
