All the money in the world doesn't buy other people's respect. Muley and Rambo are entitled to their opinions just the same as all of us. Fact - Gov tags are not in line with the North American model. Fact - The money spent on a gov tag supports hunting a heck of a lot more than other things...

335 is my guess. Wouldnt make the wall for me. Nice one though

You have to admit wide bulls look impressive though especially at first glance so I don't agree that it shouldn't count at all towards score. I've seen wide sheep and antelope that are impressive looking due to the way their horns sweep outward but since width doesn't count for these species it...

Elks, your completely missing the point. This was state land that was sold to a private landowner. It really has nothing to do with the nm designation at this point. It is just a great example of how PLT and "local control" of lands in Utah would go. Somebody really screwed up on the...

Though this landowner may be reacting to the monument designation, this is a common trend throughout the west- new landowner purchases land closes access that hasn't been formally reserved with an easement. This is the true biggest risk to your public land access since now it is trespassing to...

Anybody hear of any monster bulls being taken on the December hunt by Cody? I would have thought it would be an exceptional year with how the weather was in November and then the snows in December.

That's a mule deer, I don't care what dna testing comes back as. What argument could you possibly make as to that deer being a whitetail? I hope they take this guy's hunting privileges away for life.

Elks96, A lot of guys here are completely missing your point, but its spot on. Montana is a great state to go to if you want to hunt but not if you want a reasonable chance at a mature animal. Obviously like anywhere, in Montana if enough time is spent learning an area over the course of...

Goofy, never hunted 16 in September but have hunted it a day in November. Shoot me a PM.

Togwotee - I am in the same boat with max points, care if I shoot you a PM? If I can figure out how to PM :-)

Okay. This is a pretty naive question, but is scouting from an airplane that effective? Seems it would be really easy to miss animals and write off areas as well, since you are flying at high speed. Can you really glass out of a moving plane? I get sicker than a dog when trying to do it out...

My experience with the labs has been very positive as it has matched with body and field observations as well as lower jaw comparisons done by the wildlife biologists that I work with and send in specimens with, fairly closely over the years. Just like your 9 year old being aged an 11 year old...
