    Insulin users, how do you store your insulin

    For those kind of temps you would need to keep it against your body. Something like @go_deep mentioned would be ideal.

    Montana 270-51

    The tag was proposed as a way to monitor for CWD. That is why there is a "Mandatory Check" associated with it. As far as management goes it's a bit of a stretch but that's another topic. The quality of deer has been slipping in 270 and "selectively harvesting" some young bucks in the unit is...

    Forest / Loggin Road Gates

    +1 for what @Customweld said. The MVUM is the most reliable source of info on road restrictions. OnX isn't reliable enough for the types of roads you are looking for. I have found roads on OnX that say they are open all year that I know are decommissioned. Get a hold of the Forest Service...

    Your Mule Deer Questions: Podcast

    What is the preferred tactic(s) for hunting deer in the thick timber of NW Montana and N Idaho? Doesn't seem to be much info out there on hunting this habitat besides to just still hunt. What landscape features would a person want to seek out while scouting this type of terrain?

    Distance to 'Get Away Cabin' or Property?

    We have a family cabin that's a little over an hour from home with no electricity or running water. I would be down there at least every other weekend until we had kids. Now it's a planned trip that takes a week to get ready for haha. Before we had kids the wife and I would just decide to...

    Spring Bear ticks?

    I haven't run into many turkey hunting this spring. That being said I was talking with my neighbor last night who took a kid bear hunting this weekend and he said even getting out of the truck to take a leak and they had multiple ticks crawling on their pant legs.

    Just diagnosed with Type 1

    Once you and your doctor are able to figure out your correction and carb factors it will become A LOT easier to manage. It will take some time to get everything dialed in but don't let that get to you. I was diagnosed at age 5 and have been living w/ T1D for 28 years now. Like @Scoot said...

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    Help me out here because I'm neither a lawyer nor a politician but I'm pretty sure that PR funds are "outside the bounds of the ESA". If I am correct in my thinking then it seems that you would believe that the federal government has "no right" to limit how much funding a state receives when it...

    Montana in Mid-April?

    Mid April can be tough like @PablitoPescador said. If you're game for some highly questionable weather, a fairly tough hunt, and putting on a lot of miles without needing to punch a tag it could be great. Generally there's not "too many" people out that time of year. Being a resident I tend...

    Montana launches new FWP app

    So I went in to FWP this morning to get a few questions answered. You can validate the tag w/o cell service so long as you have downloaded it and remain logged in to the app like others have stated. It will automatically time stamp the tag using the date/time info from your phone. MT differs...

    Montana launches new FWP app

    I like the idea of having the tag on my phone because like others have mentioned I have lost paper tags more than once but have never lost a phone (I did lose one for a minute and of course found it once I went to Verizon and bought a new one haha). I also hope that it will bring better harvest...

    Recommendations for Montana spring bear

    Access varies from year to year in the NW corner. Typically that time of the year I'm only hunting around 5500 or so. There are also close to three times as many grizzlies in the Northern Continental Divide and Cabinet Yaak ecosystems compared to the Greater Yellowstone. At the same time 50%...

    Good podcast on Wounding Loss

    Really good podcast. Enjoyed listening to it as well as a couple others. Looking forward to what's next!

    New MT Mule Deer Rifle Season

    Couldn't have said it better. The landscape here in NW MT has changed a lot in the last 20 years due to fire suppression efforts, the economics of the timber industry, as well as the increase in population. These habitat changes have almost exclusively been detrimental to mule deer. I was...

    Help me understand the most confusing state. MT.

    I feel for you. I'm a lifelong resident of MT and I swear that I have to call FWP once a year, at least, to get some clarification on the regs. To my best understanding the preference points are only available to non-res as the general non-res license is issued to those with the most...

    Favorite educational hunting books?

    +1 for what @Rich M stated. Robby's book is awesome and I'm currently reading David Long's. Tons of great information in both books. Taking that info and putting it to use in your areas is what's key though. Learning everything you can is fantastic but you have to be able to put it to...

    New MT Mule Deer Rifle Season

    The future of mule deer management in Montana is coming to the main point of this thread - will Montana continue to manage for hunter opportunity or will the state manage for deer quality. FWP wants to hear from us, at least at the local level (the commission in Helena is another story). The...

    The Pandemic Effect, by onX Hunt

    I tend to get frustrated w/ a lot of these surveys because they take a complex topic and try to simplify it, generally to promote whatever it is they are selling (product, subscriptions, memberships, etc.). Definitely a little misleading, as is the case w/ most statistics (a person/group can...
