    Montana guys… Any issues with e-tags last year?

    Worked well for spring turkey, will use a paper tag for anything else. Anyone else concerned with the use of your GPS location being used to validate a tag for a big game animal? Could be helpful info to the biologists, but also free up a lot of info to the interweb after a few years of data...

    GoHunt Insider worth it?

    Gohunt is okay if you have zero computer skills, and are willing to complete 0% effort to your upcoming hunt. Sometimes, (sometimes) they may have better mapping tools, but, honestly, its not that hard to look at last years draw odds. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - FIGURE IT OUT

    Watcha reading/listening to?

    Man I gotta start lickin some doorknobs and me some of that covid.... any free reading time is devoted to "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by some f*ck that convinced my manager that it was worth my time to read a self help book... Hate that type of crap. Lots of great suggestions here...

    Preference points sold for profit?

    Exactly. Each state's draw would have hundreds of thousands of people flood in to buy points. It would be a horrible thing for the average hunter, but great for the loaded guys.

    Preference points sold for profit?

    I'd buy points if they're adorable; but I guarantee they wouldn't be. I would NEVER sell points, but kids on the other hand.... But really, ideas like these scare me about how much the income impacts agencies. I get it to a point, but be careful what you wish for

    YouTube groups

    Yes, that's the rule. Just FYI to everyone that I will be "filming" on all public land in Montana.

    Silencer Central Experience Needed

    I ordered on Cyber Monday (Buy Banish 30 and get a free 22K suppressor). The deal was too good to pass up, even though I have several friends that said they wouldn't order through them again. Well, ordered 11/29/21, paperwork submitted to ATF on 3/2/2022..... I was not happy with how long their...

    Baby carrier setups

    And when they get a bit bigger, your regular pack will work with some creative thinking. I have been taking my son pheasant hunting since he was 2 in my KUIU pack. Think of a kid as a front quarter of a deer in your frame pack. We have used pillows or foam pads to make it work for him. He has...

    If you could pick one sponsor...

    You guys are way off, I'd say Target/Walmart. Wife gets all that shit for free, I wear terrible pants and shirts (but free goldbond), and without the wife's taget/walmart purchases we have an extra 500K /year to spend

    laminate floors

    In 2020 I replaced our laminate flooring with LVP from Menards, it was Superfast Ridgeplex brand and it is okay. The laminate had too large of gaps in areas and was swelled from water in other areas. I had to do a ton of subfloor work to level things out, and have a few spots I need to repair...

    What to watch out for in used trucks?

    A lot of good points made on here already, but that kinda money for a 2002 is wild to me. Granted everything is crazy now, but still. I would highly recommend you figure out what make/model and mileage you want, and search all over. Last spring I bought a used boat down in Alabama for 25K...

    Silencer Central Suppressor ATF Approval Lead Times

    Yup. Ordered Banish 30 and the free (w/ paid tax stamp) 22K suppressor on cyber Monday 11/29/2021 Was told I had to file paper since e-file didn't go live until late December which was wrong, cuz I did e-file eventually. My application was submitted to the ATF on 03/02/2022 (93 days after the...

    New truck 1/2 3.0 dmax or gas

    I can't speak to the 3.0L but I have a '22 w/ 6.2L and it pulls my fiberglass boat fantastic. Night and day from the 5.3L

    ‘Change’ is the only constant

    My oldest is 3, so its taking him along for everything possible. Filling tags and getting limits of roosters is less and less of a priority. My number one priority now is making sure he has fun and gets home in one piece (which partially means filling tags and getting limits of roosters).

    How many MT Non-Resident Licenses did MTFWP actually sell in 2021?

    I don't think this should be much of a surprise. I'd also guess that the number of tags was way more than the number of hunters. My group of 3 count for 6 of those totals, and they were all B tags

    Will higher gas prices change your plans

    I'll still go, but banking on 20,000 non residents that won't. A guy's gotta dream right?

    Too much money to argue

    Right, and to me the biggest issue is: how will this stop? No individual will take it on & I'm sure the local government doesn't have the resources, or ambition. Unfortunately it's too easy as hunters to just move on to the next spot and give that a try.

    Too much money to argue

    To me this isn't about private property rights. The situation I'm describing is where a public road is/was moved and the road now has a private drive sign so that there is not public access to public land. It's 100% their right to buy land and keep people off of their land. It's when they keep...

    Too much money to argue

    DFD? Don't worry, I won't even bother, I have too little time, and way too little resources. It's frustrating to see this type of stuff. We saw the security guard every day, we always slowed down to look, since he was always parked in a draw loaded with elk.

    Too much money to argue

    Yeah you can, and I stated that, west wind and acces from the west isn't ideal. Not saying that's the issue at all, its that these roads are clearly going around public access points
