Your response only solidifies my point and the fact that you you don't get it is understandable. I strongly disagree that part time residents haven't ruined anything. The "opportunity" that you speak of, financial that is, means that one less property is available for someone to live in...
The Montana Bow and Arrow license is a requirement during the archery season only and someone correct me if I misrepresent the history but it was something brought forward by the Montana Bowhunters Association.
RB, thanks for your input there. I should have been more specific and not stated habitat but rather those hunting districts east of the divide in Regions 4, 5 and 7 where the likliehood of running into a grizz is pretty slim.
I know the area fairly well. You can pm and I can help you out withe licensing if you would like. Depending on where the ranch is, there are good bulls in that district.
As already mentioned change this story to two hunters that are unrelated and what are your thoughts then? Legally in this scenario it is the nephew's, ethically, well that is a different story.
I figured it was a new year and time to stop lurking on here and create an account. My wife already thinks I spend too much time on here, wait until I tell what I did! Thanks from southcentral Montana, nestled somewhere between the Crazy Mountains and the Absaroka Beartooth Mountains
