This insanity of non resident-resident shed season openers is going to force the feds to step in. Then everyone will be screwed. This crap is opening pandoras box. It's public land, not state land. It's open to all.

people have way too much time and money and their hands. Our grandfathers would roll over in their graves in they knew what hunting had evolved into.

Why have a stove or tent at all then? It’s plenty livable with a tarp and good sleeping bag. If a guy is shelling out 1400 for a tent stove combo I expect quality products. The dampener on the seek stove is a crime against humanity and the slide is worthless. Spend some -30 degree nights...

If somebody who is handy wants to make a better stove than what is currently out there for lightweight titanium I believe it would sell well. Thinking a guy uses some heavier weight titanium or lightweight sheet metal for the slide and dampner areas. Probably would add half a pound in...

If using horses mules or wheeled transport and want something tough that doesn’t weigh a lot check out snowtrekker canvas tents or Ellis canvas tents. Lightweight top quality canvas. Snowtrekker models come in at under 20 lbs including poles. If packpacking the seek 6 man is probably the...

man if we just outlawed outfitting or paying to hunt, hunting would go pack to just a fun family outing. I do not understand why some folks get so bent over people making money on shed hunting, billions of dollars are made off of hunting big game

I think the hard reality in montana is that hunters will have to be okay with less oppurtunity to hunt mule deer. There is no other option other than reducing oppurtunity. It's hard to knock on the guys having a good time and shooting the first framed buck they see, but it is also hard to not be...

check out four dog stoves. They make a legit heavier guage titanium stove that is around 10 lbs. The Seek stoves are okay if you are carrying it on your back but if you have stock you can do better. The seek stove dampner is crap and you have too many air leaks so the stove basically has 2...

Animals are resilent and adaptative. They just need the habitat. Especially mule deer. Focus on maintaining and creating good habitat by letting wildfires burn naturally, weed control, and keeping to good grazing practices.

I don't mind giving residents an advantage. After all if you don't like being a nonresident, become a resident. This crap of making it illegal to "look for antlers" or how we let our state game and fish departments control in anyway shape or form the collecting of shed antlers is crazy. There...

Good right up, but you kinda lost me when you want to open up non-resident trapping to any species. I thought you wanted to protect the states valuable resources, not futher exploit them.

NE Mt is the new SE Mt. You are 5 years too late and in 5 years from now it won't even be worth going up there.

the twisted stakes do hold better. Also make sure you are staking the inside loops rater than the outside, any air that can get under the fabric is what will pump out stakes. I put rocks or logs around the edges if really starts to howl (60 plus mph gusts). Bring earplugs they really help get a...

Antlerradar, did you notice a decrease in the amount of archery hunters this year with the change in the archery special draw tags?

There is no perfect pack, I have tested or looked or personally have, seek outside, exo-mountain, mystery ranch, kifaru, stone glacier. I have not seen or tried a kuiu. Seek outside has a legitimate lightweight aluminium frame which is badass, can out carry any other pack on the market, none of...
