    Minimum ages, mentor tags, and other rambling thoughts

    You started the thread, I asked a question and gave my opinion, based on what I know to be true in my experience. I hunt in two HDs, period. Seeing more than 4 or 5 elk at once in those HDs is rare. The last thing I want is for dad and uncle joe slamming elk for jr, just cuz they are...

    Minimum ages, mentor tags, and other rambling thoughts

    Is the youth hunter hunting on the mentor's tag? Or does the youth hunter have his/her own tag? If it's the former, then I say, fine, you decide when your youngster is ready. If it's the latter, then I say no way, no how. Its just another way for guys to poach, and I believe poaching is...

    MT Regs - Game cameras during seasons?

    When did having confidence in an area become adverse to fair chase and being ethical? That is part of the horse#$%^ argument they used to push through the rewritten reg. If someone tells me they saw a huge bull in area, or there is a history of B&C bucks from an area, or if you see a big buck...

    MT Regs - Game cameras during seasons?

    MT's trail cam law is purely assinine. It was pushed through by a grey bearded goober that has admitted he has never even used one. I'm surprised he hasn't pushed some law to ban compound bows, rangefinders, scopes on rifles and sitka gear. Loin cloths only folks! Even to have one out after...

    An Elk over the years

    That bull was hanging in Capital Sports in Helena for a while, I don't know if it's still there.The cool thing about it, that you can't see is the hole up through its hard palate from another bulls antler. I guess that hole was packed full of grass and infection and the poor bugger was still...

    Montana Spring Bear

    Yeah, I would call the Flathead NF or Kootenai NF supervisors office and have the big color maps sent to you. Make sure they are the big two sided color forest maps. You don't want the little giveaway district maps. The color ones have the different ownership sections in different colors and...

    Montana Spring Bear

    Ha! LOL, to much credit Bart! I sure wish I have kept a journal over the last 15 years. Huge mistake. I always head out when spring bear opens. Mostly just seems to be shed hunting walks than anything else until May. Still my favorite time of year. I will post up pics if/when I see some bears!

    Montana Spring Bear

    We have had these warm ups in NW MT every year for as long as I can remember. A few bears that den in lower elevations get flooded out and have to get up and get going. We always have these thaws, it doesnt or hasn't changed the fact that nothing good really starts happening until after May 10...

    Questions about bugling and wolves

    I think elk just don't like people. They know wolves, at least in NW MT, wolves were never gone, the elk have always had run ins with them, they will tolerate them over people, IMHO. My best spot, where I have taken the most elk, I have never, ever heard a single peep from a bull. At least that...

    How accurate is this map?

    I think as far as core areas, its accurate. But there have been "fliers" everywhere between Kalispell and Missoula and west to Idaho.

    Advice on horse usage?

    When I started walking away from huge bugling bulls because we didn't know if the trail in this basin or that basin was cut out to get the horses in, I knew I had to change up my hunting. You walk nine miles in the country I hunt, you just walked past more than one real nice bull. No more!!! I...

    Interesting Deer Article

    Apparently not, hunting and killing them will have too much of a "viceral" impact. Oh brother. Wondering if they would like a few lions from nw MT? How about a nice wolf pack?

    Predictions?

    The thing I just don't buy about Pete Carrolls comments about not wanting them to have any time left, is that they wouldnt have! You run the ball, one yard, 5 or 6 seconds would have come off the clock. You squib a deep kick so it doesn't go in the end zone, thats another 8-10 seconds. Brady...

    Predictions?

    I think he has had it with Pete Carroll. I bet he is gonna look at that last pass as the utmost in disrespect, for right or wrong. Maybe Jerry will sign him when Demarco Murray flies the coop. I don't think Jerry thinks Demarco is worth what he is gonna have to pay him, and I think he may be...

    Predictions?

    What I would give to have been in Lynch's mind when first, the pass play was called, second, when it was picked, and third when he got near the guy that calls the plays. Prediction 1, Marshawn is playing in a different jersey next year.

    Predictions?

    Packer fans all over the world are ROLLING IN LAUGHTER!! How do you not just give it to Lynch? He will get you a yard, I'd bet my house on it. OMG.

    LWCF gets dangerous amend from Daines!

    No, I meant in the greater scheme of things. Where do we go from here? How do we get this funded? Or is all lost? That is what I mean.

    LWCF gets dangerous amend from Daines!

    While I am clearly angry at Daines for lying and being a scum sucking loser for going against everything he said in being in favor of public lands...... does this really matter since Obama is going to veto this whole bill anyway? Aren't we in the same position when that happens? Just wondering.
