****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD
Connected on a nice boar a couple of days ago. Not a giant but a good healthy size with a fantastic coat. He has a decent head on him and the most fat I've ever seen on a spring bear (win!). Pack weighed in at exactly 100lbs (including rifle) - my heaviest bear load. This was a classic...- daltrix99

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
This is (kind of) how Idaho does it, with regional variation. But for example where I hunt over there, the general deer rifle season is only two weeks in October, no elk hunting until November on an LE tag. There are a lot of mule deer where we hunt but they are REALLY hard to find in mid... -

****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD
Yep agreed. We have some good flowers popping low, around 3500/4k feet, but the mountains aren't there yet. It's been a dry winter and spring.- daltrix99

****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD
Our snow is melted two weeks ahead of schedule here in western Montana (at least in my spots). I took this last night, and I can't usually hunt this canyon until the first week of may and it's been clear for days. Not much green - some scattered glacier lillies and buds. I think the next ten...- daltrix99

Bitterroot Mule Deer 261/270
I have a photo but it's not mine to share, and the info I provided is as specific as I'll be. The best way to address access nerves is scouting my friend! Learn the unit well, put boots on the ground all summer and fall, do the tag justice. -
Bitterroot Mule Deer 261/270
Dude what a draw - looking at gohunt you had less than 1% odds??? Should be a great hunt, buddy of mine shot a really nice buck in there on public a few years ago. The biggest bucks down there are usually killed on private, but with effort you can find mature bucks cruising the public land in... -
Taxidermist Nightmare - need serious advice
I agree and have no issue telling all now. I was hesitant at first just out of internet privacy concerns, and then while I was talking to lawyers I wanted to keep things private. Also, I was told by FWP Justin has been under investigation by FWP (may still be, idk).- daltrix99

Taxidermist Nightmare - need serious advice
Sorry to hear it. I can't remember how much I've updated here, but Justin Sabol finally confessed last year that my bear hide is long gone. He had a BS story, who knows how or why it disappeared. I have four years of texts and voicemails from him lying to me about the hide, and I showed up to...- daltrix99

Welcome! Love NW MT. Make sure you can properly identify Sasquatch before pulling the trigger during Spring Black Bear season. -

Idaho unit 66, 66A
I've hunted those units pretty hard and every year was surprised at the pressure. We would backpack in several miles and still run into multiple groups of hunters every day, campfires all over at night. Don't even mess with the front country, it's an ATV free for all. -
Retrieval of game from private land in Montana
Similar to others, I have not experienced this but a friend did a few years ago in western Montana. Bull Elk he shot with a bow ran to private and died. Hunter was denied permission, then returned with a warden to plea for access again, and the landowner denied again. Big bull, not sure if the...- daltrix99
