Keep in mind folks that the "No Tresspass" law is a plain unadulterated ANTI HUNTING initiative. The preferential tag thing is due to the baby boomers getting older and wanting to skew the system in their favor and the cost of every other deer hunter. BOTH are disgustingly selfish, agenda...
The same rules of goose hunting apply to ice fishing. If you want the spot, get there first. Now the dropping a couple lines in, walking away, and still thinking it's your spot is BS.
The couple guys that I know that deal with turkeys put up feeders that keep the corn above where the turkeys can reach it when they are standing. Most of these feeders are gravity fed with the tubes being angled down from the hopper. The other way they avoid some turkey competition is to use...
Is "suspect" a positive or a negative for CWD in Montana??
Also, I'll paraphrase the video clip. First they talk about a "scary" disease called CWD. Then they talk about human cannibalism in new guinea and how a similar human disease was transmitted through eating human corpses. Then they...
I'm glad you jumped in Fly Carpin as Montana is just getting into the CWD mess. Here's the actual abstract from the cited paper. Lots of "potential" "can result in" "can lead to" "likely increase" and other such language that speaks to possibilities with very little being known or discovered...
Got up this morning and did some internet research on other CWD states. I started with Wyoming, who implemented a statewide total bait ban in 2001 for big game to control the spread of CWD in that state. Since 2001, CWD has spread appoximately 2.1 million acres per year. THIS IS WITH A...
Can anyone explain to me how baiting is harming the deer populations anywhere in the state using facts, data, and science while simultaneously excluding emotion, politics, conjecture, or judgmental positions? Anyone?? Until someone can produce scientific data showing that baiting is a...
How many deer do you think benefit by getting easy meals from bait piles and go into winter in much better physical shape? I submit that the vast majority of deer that roll into and out of any active bait location don't get shot, but they sure do like the easy meal and come back several times...
Yep!! The G&F doesn't listen to people, they listen to the governors office. The governor appoints the Big Boss and the Big Boss appoints the little bosses. Everyone stays in step with the political agenda of the governor. Which is why many decisions are based on popular opinion (ie votes)...
Yes, a slow simmer, not boil, will help with the oily area, however, watch to make sure you don't lose any teeth. They can get REAL loose when on a simmer. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS remove the brains. They are full off fats, lipids, and acids that you don't want infusing into your skull. It can...
