Good work, guys. The more the merrier!

I read this on another forum: "The Eskimos have always greatly prized the wolf. It's fur and meat are of great quality and the beast itself is both majestic and powerful. Killing a wolf was a nearly impossible endeavor without strong weapons, and yet the Eskimos found a way to do it. They did...

In the Western Montana mountains, rifles can get banged around a lot due to steep terrain and snow. My mountain rifle is a lightweight stainless Ruger bolt 30-06 with a Leupold VX3. With Ruger steel rings on their machined receiver, I have never in 9 years and well over a thousand hours of...

If pro-wolf = anti hunting, then anti-hunting = anti gun. I think the progression is the reverse of that. Sure only half of gun owners hunt, but if half of gun owners quit hunting, then a sizable percentage of gun owners lose interest. Considering how the anti-gun movement has been effective...

Since when did our rulers care how much money the Federal Reserve issues out of thin air?

What will be gained is that less people will be hunting and therefore less people will be interested in owning guns or opposing gun control.

Just got my new Foxpro Wildfire in the mail today and trying to figure out how to use it. Had to walk away from it a couple times. This reminds me of when I bought a computer a dozen years ago and taught myself how to use it. I'm not a "gadget guy". I don't have a photographic memory so I look...

I used to be, then I figured them out and quit. Not only did they support the wolf introduction, they still do as evidenced by their refusal to inform their members about the hydatid issue. Yes, they parade around pretending to be the "last word" on North American Elk and they withhold important...

Mass media and Hollywood are why people have a distaste for sportsmen and mass media/Hollywood is why some fools want gun control. "Proof" is not something that comes from some corrupt "person with authority". The experiences of everyday hunters are worth more to me than what...

Here in Western Montana, we only have about 1/10 the elk we had 15 years ago when the wolves were introduced. The "official numbers" are skewed in favor of wolves. It has everything to do with the wolf introduction. Under subsistence conditions a wolf may kill only 20 elk a year, but when you...

Face it. Most people on this board would be pro wolf if not for the fact that we hunt and many of us live in the country. There is a reason most city folks and college kids are sold on the "benefits" of predator introduction and protection. There has been a massive propaganda campaign in mass...

It may be just as difficult to find a rancher that won't let you hunt wolves. :) In Montana, this is the best way to find names of landowners: Montana Cadastral

Mike Hanback: Photo: Biggest Wolf Ever?

The introduced wolves breed much faster than native wolves. What is really strange is that when you talk to Canadians about our rapid elk decline and wolf population explosion, they are puzzled about it because theirs are not that big of a problem. It kinda makes me wonder where in the world...

The RMEF is part of the problem, not part of the solution. They are supposed to be the "final word" on Elk. Yet they have long taken a wishy washy stand on wolves, never exposing the lies. Try searching their site for the word "hydatid" and nothing comes up...ever. They have not told their...
