    HB 372 Right to Hunt, Fish and Trap

    I've seen this floating around on social media quite a bit and was just wondering if anyone else has heard anything. Does this just add trapping to the constitution since the right to hunting and fishing are already there (it think)? I'm still trying to figure out the interpretation of this...

    Sunny Boy, Rest Easy

    Sunny was the best pup I could have asked for. He was my first dog and will always hold a special place in my heart. I cared so very much for him. He was with me for most of my life and was around for many milestones. I remember begging my parents for a dog for so long and then one day, my dad...

    Public comment on MT Elk Objectives and other feedback

    I didnt see this thread started anywhere so I figured I'd start one. Here is the link to look over elk objectives, bull to cow ratios and questions the department is seeking comment on in each district. After talking to a biologist, I briefly felt so unqualified on commenting about objectives...

    Elk CAG 7-7-22. Recommendations

    I think the Elk Group is having a really interesting discussion as they finalize their proposals/ recommendations. If anyone else wants to listen: Truthfully, I'm left a little frustrated because it is such a complex situation. So many unforseen consequences but I guess looking at different...

    Mandatory Black Bear Harvest Reporting Change

    Kind of coming fresh off the region 3 zoom meeting, there was the mention of doing away with bringing in a harvested black bear to a FWP official to inspect the bear and collect information. The suggested change is to require the hunter to collect a tooth and call in to report the harvest. I...

    Down Fencing

    Recently I hiked a fence line back to the truck to save some time and I was reminded about how important some of these fence clean up projects are. It was disheartening to see miles and miles of fence down and how hazardous it can be to wildlife. The fence was either strung out everywhere or...

    Crossbows During Archery- for a select few

    I'm not sure what is going on but I received this emailed from MBA and I can't help but be upset that this is allowed after hunters fought so hard to defeat the crossbow bill. I'm hoping someone else has some information and can speak to the situation. Attached in the email were the legal...

    Old spike head...what did I get myself into

    So while working on my buck euro, my dad casually mentions that he has a spike head in the garage that's been wrapped up for 30 years. I always vaguely knew there was some sort of antlered skull in the garage but I never really knew what it was. He then goes on to say that he initially meant to...

    First Euro Attempt- Sous Vide

    I recently got my first mule deer and decided I wanted to try to Euro mount myself since he isnt a giant buck. After reading up on every thread about euro mounts I could, I decided to give the sous vide method a try in hopes of reducing errors. Being my first time, I didnt know what to look for...

    New Method to Pick Where to Hunt

    After doing some very nonmathematical calculations, all my elk spots have the same (small) chance of seeing an elk. So I figure I should stop stressing where to go and let someone else pick a spot. Luckily he was all too happy to take part. 5 cards and one salmon stick broken into pieces...

    2020 Archery Season So Far

    I thought I would do a little write up to reflect on this archery season before the final push in late archery. There have been some great moments....and some not so great moments. This year I was extremely tired of not finding elk so once again I took matters in my own hands and scoured the...

    Women Representation

    https://www.outsideonline.com/2416520/women-hunters-instagram-rihana-cary-amanda-caldwell?utm_campaign=facebookpost&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social While the article brought up a couple great points, it fell pretty short for me. It didnt really help in normalizing women hunters as it...

    Artic Grayling Appreciation

    Artic Grayling are probably one of my favorite fish. When I was younger, I remember watching a show where they were catching them, and I distinctly remember the awesome blues of their fins. I knew someday I wanted to catch one but I never really put much effort into it. It wasnt until I worked...

    Permethrin- What am I doing wrong?

    I, much like everyone here, hate ticks. They are creepy, carry disease and really put a damper on spring season joys. So I've tried permethrin and I dont know if I have false expectations, but I still get ticks on me. I followed the instructions very closely last year and I still had ticks...

    Montana game farm under quarantine after an elk tested positive for CWD

    Season in review - more lessons

    This hunting season, I drew my first ever limited draw permit. For context, usually I see elk once during archery and once during rifle, and normally those are not the best opportunities, so if I had more opportunities this season I would be pretty happy. So naturally, once I drew my first...

    Are MT shoulder seasons effecting bulls too?

    I'm curious what others think about this topic. I've seen a lot of comments against the shoulder seasons because of pregnant cows during the hunt and pushing cows off public, but I've never heard about it effecting bulls and where they are during hunting season. The unit I am hunting this year...

    Hooked mule deer shed?

    I found this mule deer shed while locating a bull last archery season. I've never seen antlers hook like this before.

    First Year Turkey Hunting

    This year was my very first year turkey hunting.....I definitely underestimated the birds. I decided to spot and stalk with my bow and I got very lucky to find some public land with a good amount of turkeys. I started the season late April, and I didnt really know what I was doing. I've hunted...
