We as hunters are awfully good at dividing ourselves. The Antis don't even have to do a thing to divide us.

They are long. You can hunt elk 6 months out of the year already not sure it needs to be longer?

L, good peeps that appreciate and respect MT as-is are always welcome.
I'm not referring to ALL non-residents. Some are great people who are respectful hunters and stewards of the environment. But you should see some of the morons we get here every year. I've seen everything from people accidentally shooting other hunters to poaching to trashed camp sites to trespassing and many other things. But the craziest thing I remember was one year these idiots shot 2 pack mules out in a private field thinking they were filling their cow elk tags. So completely retarded they even field dressed the mules and brought them through the game check station happy as pigs in crap thinking they had a successful elk hunt in Montana. The wardens couldn't believe their eyes.
If you respect our land, abide by our rules and regulations, and hunt responsibly then I have no problem with that. I hope you enjoy your hunt
I have run into out fo state morons and into resident morons both in Texas and Colorado. I think being resident or out of state does not mean one behaves differently. A moron is moron and will behave the same home and when visiting! We were hunting in a private ranch once and one of the guests, a resident, was requested to leave and was black listed!
I appreciate that, and I apologize if I took your earlier comments too harsh. If there's one sentiment I completely agree with is that there are idiots everywhere.

I've heard that same exact story for years now from guys in Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado...
Crazy I know. I heard it straight from the warden and other FWP personnel that had the mules come thru their check station that year. Would have been hard to believe otherwise. Was about 25 years ago. This instance happened up the Hungry Horse Reservoir in the Flathead Valley of Montana. The mules belonged to an outfitter that based hunts up by the Spotted Bear ranger station.

The mules getting shot for cow elk or cow moose is a longtime fable. It's in the same fables' group of the hunters who survived freezing to death by killing their horses and then climbing in side them, but were trapped when their horses froze.

Well, you can tell it is August. Everybody is so bored they are making up stories and spreading them on "The Information Landfill" otherwise known as the Internet.
Can't find records of the mule story being that it's so old. Perhaps it was exaggerated a bit, but that type of stuff actually happens.The mules getting shot for cow elk or cow moose is a longtime fable.

There have been 2 cases of the same thing happening with llamas mistaken for elk. Field dressed, tags notched and all. There really are people that stupid out there.
Police: Albino horse shot, killed; mistaken hunter suspected
BUTTE – Police suspect a confused hunter may have shot and killed a horse along Moulton Reservoir Road.
