Hey gang - I drew my Montana NR combo this year, but it turns out I am not going to be able to make the trip due to some family commitments. When I called MTFWP about returning my license I was told "Drop it in the mail with a letter of explanation", which frightened me a bit. Are they looking...
I suppose it depends entirely upon your desire to hunt a limited entry unit one day. A cursory review of Gohunt.com shows there are a handful of units that have decent draw odds for the rifle hunt once you get to 5 points. It would take a bit more digging to see what the public land status is in...
I think David Allen did some amazing things with the Elk Foundation. I talked to someone today who is close to what's going on and even he was surprised by the change, so who knows what inner working led to his ouster. Either way I'll hope that things continue in a positive direction because...

I heard about the latest mauling yesterday. Frightening stuff indeed. We'll keep our heads on a swivel and hopefully won't even see one...at least not up close and personal!
