    Montana and this math intensive pref point system for the combo elk tag - Ramblin'

    I agree MT system is good. I hear people complaining about point creep in one thread and then complain about Mt in another. Montana has capped pref points at 3 and also makes you apply the year after buying a point. They are effectively flushing out high point holders and keeping people from...

    Vortex addiction

    All well said and very accurate but sometimes you don’t have time to check your ballistic app, dial, etc. I had a nice buck last year go from 420 to 550 back to 4 hundred and change then finally stopped broadside at 650. All in a what seemed like a few minutes ,chasing a doe every which way...

    R vs. NR tag allocation

    This! All state income tax, property tax lets throw in sales tax as well. I’m guessing an idaho non resident deer tag should only be 25-30k. Seems reasonable. On the topic I think anything between 80/20 to 90/10 is a fair split

    How long should you hunt a OTC unit

    You need to cover a lot of ground or at least I do. If I have and don’t see at least fresh sign I move. Some of our units are huge so I rarely have to totally change the hunting unit. I have been hunting the same spots for decades so if they’re not in one spot I have a bunch of others to check...

    Wolf Encounter - maybe?

    That’s an interesting encounter, one of my hunting buddies had the exact same experience in Idaho. A bunch came down to our elk camp and wouldn’t leave for hours he said. I wasn’t there that night, it was before we had a hunting season. I’ve had quite a few run ins with wolves. Now that we have...

    Thinking of tossing my shoulder mounts….

    My good freind had to sell his father in law’s taxidermy collection. He estimated a million invested? He had a separate house for a trophy room everything you can legally harvest was probably represented. Lots of Africa stuff. He did say it was a pain and pennies on the dollar. I probably have...

    The resident short game. Long term consequences?

    I agree with alot of that about buzz. Have had many arguments and disagreements with him and the ego is large with him. except in this case I think he made a good case for people supporting stuff they don’t always benefit from personally

    Thinking of tossing my shoulder mounts….

    I’m the odd man out on this thread. I have mounted a lot of animals. I love shoulder mounts and have a few life size predators lion,wolf, bear. Etc. I decided I am close to done with new mounts also. Anyways we all hit our limit on how much we want. I wouldn’t destroy a quality shoulder...

    Idaho New Tag Allocation - Pressure

    I have a few long term hunting spots like that. Non residents and residents will flood in for a year or 2. Decide it’s WAY too crowded and then I will have it to myself again. It’s weird. I just bounce around hunting spots depending on what the year is like

    Ethics in hunting, the story of my once in a lifetime Buck....

    I can’t believe I got sucked back in. Crap I got excited thought there was a small chance we could actually get the rest of the story. Just the certified results from the deer autopsy would be nice 😂

    WY Corner crossing update

    Imminent domain is scary when you see it exercised. I have an uncle that they punched a highway through his ranch gave him pennies on the dollar. My in laws family homestead was flooded under a reservoir Pennie’s on the dollar for the land. We DO NOT want to encourage the use of imminent domain...

    Official Montana 2022 draw thread!

    You definitely can NOT go in the zero point pool and then buy a point in the points only period this year. I called f&g to double check. The zero points pool was intended to allow people to opt out of the points game completely and still have reasonable chance to draw a tag. I think it’s excellent
