King for a day, what would you do?
My first thought as well. IWILL is primarily voluntary runoff management projects on private land. Everyone benefits from clean water. Even so, opposition from the current political environment is stiff. 2023 legislative session brought us 4000 ac. public land to the chopping block (p. 46)...- Pucky Freak

****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD
I’ve been on exactly one bear hunt, MT spring. I did my due diligence e-scouting, and in 5 days I saw one BB. However, I found lots of tracks and at least a dozen scat piles in expected places across multiple drainages. The altitude band of the proper green-up seemed to be the ticket. Probably...- Pucky Freak

Not plentiful, but the yellows were good size. Now on to fishing, and summer mushrooms.- Pucky Freak

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Overall, I really appreciate all the effort the committee put towards the proposal. It looks fantastic. I hope the optimism about inertia turns out to be correct. The current political environment appears to be charging headlong in the opposite direction: heritage season, crossbows knocking on...- Pucky Freak

Montana General Season Structure Proposal
Is FWP really making that much off reissue tags? The person who turns it in gets a partial refund, right? Does reissue tinker w/ the combo caps? If so, how? Maybe I’m asking the wrong questions… I’m just trying to understand what the issue is here.- Pucky Freak

2024 Turkey Season!
Two yearling bucks very curious about my decoys. Tippler’s Bane, past the point of harvest. Nothing but hens in the decoys so I headed out in the direction of a distant gobble after a couple hours of sitting. The bird was far closer than I guessed it to be. A jake saw a flash of my movement...- Pucky Freak

NFL Draft Predictions - a pointless game, but at least it has a $$ prize for the winner
No list here, but I predict the Vikings foolishly mortgage away their next 3 years of draft stock in an aggressive trade to pick the #4 (or even #3 🙄) QB of the draft, when they could have just taken advantage of the once-in-a-decade deep QB draft, and casually drafted Penix at 11, or even trade...- Pucky Freak

Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs
I would gladly make the same exchange, but crowding and poor draw odds appear to be in lockstep with a political environment unfavorable to hunting. True. Build it and they will come, though. More animals and more access creates more hunters and more advocacy for hunting. The best chance at...- Pucky Freak

Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs
What if hunter numbers are a function of access, and satisfaction of the experience? We’re already maxed out. It could be that the only ways to increase hunter numbers are to boost access and game populations. We can recruit 1 million new hunters tomorrow and in 1 year a million have dropped out...- Pucky Freak

Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs
Lifetime BHA member. R3 is a ruse. It primarily benefits gear manufacturers. Secondarily it benefits G&F departments, influencers, and conservation organizations. It’s not clear to me if it is a boon or a bane for wild places and wildlife. Some prominent conservation orgs have developed a...- Pucky Freak

I am not a sworn officer; I do work in public safety. Some observations “from the field” in IA: -DA’s/ by and large no longer prosecute MJ-related crimes, with exceptions of offenses associated w/ other crimes (e.g. sex offenders luring or drugging children), and cooperation in multi-agency...- Pucky Freak

The Devil's Lettuce
Similar to many folks who came of age during Prohibition, I was pretty well indoctrinated through the anti-drug messaging of the 1990’s, which included MJ. I doubt I will ever turn the corner on the subject. Objectively, I’ve seen many persons with medical conditions benefit from treatment with...- Pucky Freak

I got picked up by a car like this when I was hitchhiking in Georgia. The guy spent 10 mins digging out a person-size hole for me to perch on before I got in. Real nice guy!- Pucky Freak

2024 Turkey Season!
Wrapped up at noon, 15 birds seen, at least 11 unique. 5 jakes at 85, they seemed wary and didn’t come in. Toms were henned up the whole time. Earlier in the week I hunted one of my fall spots. Saw 6 birds feeding on the way in but I pushed forward too close and got busted. Later called in 2...- Pucky Freak
