    How do cattle herds effect elk population?

    I've had the same experience as Stone Ice 1. We put cameras up in early June and saw lots of elk on the cameras until the cattle moved in for the summer.

    A NW Montana day hunt-Wolf edition

    My son shot a wolf in late October and I was lucky enough to share the experience. The howling and barking from less than 100 yards was just down right spooky and the feeling I had when I walked up to that wolf after he had shot it was just amazing. Now take that amazement and put it into the...

    Landowner Gift Backfired ???

    Giving someone a gift of a bottle of booze or something similar is one thing but sometimes giving someone cash can be taken the wrong way. To a proud individual it can be seen as pity or a hand out. I know just by you writing this post you never meant it to be anything like that but that is...

    Suggestion for future episodes....

    First of all let me say that all of your episodes have been amazing. My 15 year old son and I are big fans. I have noticed quite a few posts here from people who are completely new to elk hunting and want the most basic advice so maybe an episode of Elk 101, going over the most simple aspects of...

    Hyalite Canyon

    Back in 1995 I bugled in a few bulls during archery and missed a six point bull on opening day of rifle up Lick Creek. I can't even imagine how much has changed up there since then.

    Shoulder Season Thus Far

    What has anyone experienced with the shoulder seasons so far? In the area we archery hunt there is some private land nearby that has allowed some rifle hunting and it has sure made the elk spooky and skiddish on the public land we hunt. Also, we have noticed smaller sized groups of elk and less...

    Eastern States Own Most of Their Land?

    He needs to know that it doesn't matter what he thinks. He is there to represent what you and "the others" think and want.

    Montana elk (mis)management

    Phone surveys are a joke.Last year I got a survey call that went to voicemail. They said they would call back. They never did. Two years ago I got a call and I had a lot of information to share. Harvested deer and elk, wolf and lion sightings, numbers of elk observed... but this was a call about...

    MT shoulder season decision...

    Can someone answer this for me? Are all of these landowners that are in support of the shoulder seasons basically the same landowners that put their land into block management already? Are they the landowners that currently allow hunting? Are they the landowner that currently participates in the...

    MT shoulder season decision...

    I read this forum every day but I rarely post. I feel the need to vent on this subject. After reading the "elk master list" I don't know what the hell is going on! FWP's elk management plan has become a complete and total joke. I am particularly perplexed by HD217. Archery equipment for cows...

    Game camera reccomendations

    I have also been looking at trail cams. I am leaning toward a Stealth. Anyone have any experience with that particular brand?

    How long did you hunt....

    I started hunting in 1976 at the age of 12. We actually did more pheasant hunting than deer or elk hunting in the early days. I didn't shoot my first deer until I was 18 and my first elk until I was 20. Since then I have pretty much shot a deer each season and an elk (half bulls half cows) about...
