    Hunting near US/Mexico border

    How far do you need to get north of the border before this traffic thins out and dilutes? It would make sense that right along the border would be thick with trouble. But once they get across the river and to wherever the drugs are going to disperse, do the REALLY violent/cartel ones stop?

    Vets refusing to work on hunting dogs

    I just have bird dogs so I've never had an issue. My brother in WI runs bear with hounds and I know his group has run into issues with a few local vets refusing service on hounds. Fortunately they have found a good vet who patches up the dogs when needed and appreciates the business.

    2024 Montana tags are out!!!

    My dad and I both drew so we get to head back to Northeast Montana again! I'm super pumped.

    New ATF rule for firearm sales

    In Minnesota it is a crime to sell illegal controlled substances, but it is also a crime to sell controlled substances without affixing the appropriate tax stamp. I've never prosecuted a drug dealer who DID collect taxes and affix the appropriate stamp.

    Arizona does away with auction tags

    MattB's link on the AZ Habitat Partnership committee has some useful information on their yearly projects and costs. Can I show earmarked dollars going to earmarked projects? No. It seems pretty logical to me that a department that gets $400k more will have money to spend on such projects. And...

    Arizona does away with auction tags

    And I respect your opinion. But if a HUGE chunk of money comes in that the AZDG&F can and does use for habitat improvement projects, doesn't that benefit the herd for everyone? The amount of money those of us who don't have generational wealth would have to pay to make up the difference is not...

    “Look!… right?” One hundred percent!

    Literally and surreal.

    Idaho Wolves, the story no one is talking about.

    Like how they use the presence of lynx to attempt to seriously curtail trapping in Minnesota.

    Anyone hunt catena safari in argentina

    I think this is similar to a Argentina dove hunt my dad "won" at a RGS banquet. Ended up cutting our loses and hoping some of the money spent went to ruffed grouse habitat.

    Antlerless Hunting - Cows w/ calves, Does w/ fawns...

    I shot a white-tailed doe in the WI rifle season (Late Nov) back when I was in high school. The fawn came out of the brush after mom was down. I felt kind of bad then. I started gutting the doe and saw that she still had milk. That is when I started feeling terrible. I won't shoot a doe...

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    I want to be very clear. In no way shape or form did I mean to suggest that a juror could be jailed for finding an individual not guilty. I suggested it could be a possibility if someone lied under oath, promised to follow the Judge's orders, and did not that they could be found in contempt...

    Mt nonresident youth

    Excellent! My nephew's buck isn't going to make any Boone & Crocket lists but he shot a bigger buck than either his dad or grandpa. Made a clean, one-shot, kill. And he fist pumped and said a swear-word when his buck dropped.

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    This one hits pretty close to home. I am a prosecuting attorney. I am no fan of wolves but I’ve been through dozens of jury trials…just never as a defendant. For those of you saying that jury nullification is a thing, respectfully, you are incorrect. Jurors are not allowed to pick and choose...

    Bourbon

    My buddy in college got me started drinking bourbon with Maker's Mark. I'll still drink that if that's what you're pouring. My everyday go-to is now Bulleit. I generally have some Bulleit 10-year in the cabinet but it takes a special reason to pull that out. My girlfriend's father bought me...

    Have you ever seen a wolverine in the Lower 48?

    I wish. Never a wolverine. I was lucky enough to see a lynx once. The local CO told me there were a few different lynx sightings that particular winter in Northern MN.

    How often do you find unrecovered animals?

    I would say it is rare anymore. I typically only white-tail hunt my home property and a private ranch out west for mule deer. When I hunted public land (primarily Wisconsin) I would find 1 at least every other year. The first year the DNR had an early rifle antlerless season I believe I found 6...

    Favorite National Park

    I haven't been to many national parks. Like Theodore Roosevelt but probably just because it means I'm in the neighborhood of the ranch we hunt in Montana. I've canoed the length of the St. Croix National Scenic Waterway a few times. Good experience. My favorite would probably be Voyageurs...

    A look at Rokslide from the deer stand

    My cell phone cost me a buck once, but not due to web-surfing. I had my phone out to text a buddy at mid-day. Saw a buck moving through one of my shooting lanes fairly quickly. Determined he was a shooter and slide the phone into my pocket. I readjusted to be on the scope when he stepped into...

    Wait…what?

    I am asking because I honestly don't know the answer. Do "authorities" in Maine have the ability to do anything? What you are talking about are (sometimes referred to as) Red Flag Laws. Not everywhere has them. The guy's family could have notified authorities and the authorities were...

    Interpretting First Lite's Logo

    This is funny. I only ever saw the XD and didn't give it any more thought until this thread. This has caused me to look more closely, and I figured sun over a tent but I suppose it could just as easily be a mountain.
