    How accurate are Montana's harvest/hunter numbers

    Just out of general curiosity, how accurate are Montana's harvest numbers and hunter numbers for general tag HD's? I know Colorado's are pure BS, just wondering if Montana has a better, more realistic grasp of actual harvest and hunter numbers. Or are they just SWAGing it as well?

    Kentucky Elk Draw Results Post today

    I know Kentucky is not the traditional state we all anticipate drawing, but for an eastern boy like me, it is the closest state with a huntable elk population that gives me a legit shot to draw. And by legit I mean nearly impossible but you never know! 9 years in a row I have struck out. Is...
