    New to North Central MT

    I'd start by going to the Montana FWP and start reading. https://fwp.mt.gov/ Just from watching their show on Animal Planet on Sundays I have learned that they have all kinds of regulations, walk in programs, and other things that other states don't have.

    Anti's trying to ban Mountain Lion and Bobcat Hunting

    Looks like the majority of Coloradans came to their senses and sent the anti's packing on this one. There was also a ballot initiative in Denver to ban a meat slaughter house and ban the use and manufacture of items containing fur and feathers that got shot down.

    Anti's trying to ban Mountain Lion and Bobcat Hunting

    One thing that I am hoping for is that a number of TV talk shows here in Colorado have come out pretty much against ballot box biology on this one even when some of them were for the reintroduction of wolves. Some even admitted the cluster that the wolves were and admit that they had screwed...

    Weather in SW Colorado

    Yesterday we had a steady downpour of rain for a few hours as the above radar map shows. I have no idea of just how much rain we got but it was substantial, the hills also got a good covering of snow down to about 7500 feet. Well, this morning we have snow here at 6500 feet and I am sure...

    Anti's trying to ban Mountain Lion and Bobcat Hunting

    The closer that we get to next Tuesday the more miss information I see that is put out by the anti's. I'm just crossing my fingers on this one,

    Weather in SW Colorado

    It's been raining here for most of the night. Looking at radar I need to put another pot of coffee on. The elk and deer hunters will be getting wet for the next couple of days,

    Elk Fire refund or reservation for next year

    It all depends on just what was burnt, the condition of the area, along with if they are going to allow you into the area. Most fires are not a scorched earth type of fire but they jump around leaving green areas that the animals will flock to for shelter. If it was long enough ago, even a...

    The grocery stores in my area have been packed for the last couple of days. Campers, trailers, SxS's, ATV's, you name it they are here. Let the fun begin.

    How to keep lights off on your truck?

    The only option that my 2016 Explorer has for the lights other than going into the BCM to change things is to set the light switch to manual but I still have daytime running lights whie the engine is on and out of park. There is no other option to shut down the interior lights or the delay with...

    How to keep lights off on your truck?

    A hammer works real well until you need to drive in the dark again. A number of vehicles now days have a lot of their electrical accessories controlled by a BCM (body control module) and with the proper programming on a computer you can go into it and change a number of perimeters. I have a...

    Anti's trying to ban Mountain Lion and Bobcat Hunting

    I have been wondering just who the voters are planning on believing. The TV adds put out so much miss information that it is scary. I just started seeing adds for those against it. If I was a betting man, and I am I would say that it is too close to call until after the election. If the...

    Weather in SW Colorado

    I always associated it with the opening of Utah's general deer season and since the opened at the same time I never got to hunt Colorado's 2nd season. I also had a hard time getting it off since a more senior employee also hunted 2nd season but we got it all worked out. But this gap between...

    Credit Cards Getting hit for Spring Draws

    I have alerts set up on all of my CC's for any charge where the card isn't present. It's a pain in the rear at times but I know what is going on with it. We started out hunting 37a west of Catalina and had no idea of what we were doing. Then we screwed up on the draw and went into 33 and...
