I guess I’m confused here. If a state Hwy runs “through” it, what is the access issue? They won’t let you put a gate coming off the Hwy? You’ll be paying taxes to the centerline on both sides, what do they think they need at the access point, a turning lane? I guess I just can’t picture an...

The State has Robo-deer according to my neighbor. He claims to have walked up on one while coon hunting one night. I’m thinking it could have been a buck that thought he was well hidden though. I’ve gotten pretty close to a few while bird hunting.

Each CO has at least 2 counties they cover. Is that what you meant? Sounds like you’re saying each county has 2 CO’s

Look at something like the Ring cameras. They will record a short clip and send it to the App. You could then edit or screenshot the image you want. I think it’s $3-4/month/camera if you’re wanting to save the videos. A subscription isn’t required tho.

Unique way to get access where others couldn’t tho. https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/montana-national-guard-shed-hunting/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR7lPEVybtdcjYBBsHr1DTxU-piNfXY_n-C2r6sjAq_eHUxsTEsVbv9M6zJwwQ_aem_0YiL1bdz3qcafHY1JebrUQ

I dont waterfowl hunt myself so I don’t know the laws either. Some kind of agreement with the state to have a permanent population. I do know it’s opened up from previous years. At one time you couldn’t hunt them within a 5 mile radius. A few hundred birds leaving a few hundred #’s of dung a day...

I thought geese were Federally regulated. Our local CO has said he’d like to lower the # that winter locally but his hands are tied. 5k geese using the local lake as a septic tank isn’t helping water quality.

Seems like I’ve had to log in every day now even though I’ve got the “stay logged” box checked. I’ll pay extra attention tomorrow and see if it happens.

The fee is based on your residence. If you live in the county with the “reservation” it’s $2/acre. Bordering county, $3/acre. Farther out it sounds like it will be taxed as “ag” ground. My guess is that they are wanting to collect from NR’s that aren’t having to pay anything due to the current...

The catch with previous versions of the outfitter bill that I saw was it was a prerequisite that you had to be registered by June of 21 I think it was. Was that changed in this version? If you want land leased up and less opportunities for the non-landowners, this is the way to do it. Within 2...

I‘m thinking a salvage tag is needed for the complete head. That’s what we’re told around here.

Get that contract and I’m sure you’d have plenty of volunteer help. At 120k, we could all get new equipment and still have change for a beer afterwards.

Let’s just make it easy and solve multiple issues with one change. Eliminate the LOT altogether. Those that have issues on their “Ag” ground can apply for depredation tags. Nobody can whine about anyone getting 3 “buck” tags, nobody should feel discriminated against, and it eliminates the need...

Buddy said he saw drones over his place after dark a couple times last fall. Next thing, he’s getting calls and visits for permission to hunt. His son ended up getting a 200+ so it’s seems pretty obvious they were using them to scout.

Here’s a post from 5 yrs ago. I just skimmed through but it looks like bow hunting is cruel is the jist of it. For 120k, I’m sure they could get plenty of volunteers. I don’t know if it was revised but White Buffalo was guessing 10k deer which made for a good sales pitch I’m assuming...
