Yeah I have been writing letters to numerous papers on the front range about this and they have published them amazingly. It blows me away this group sponsoring it is primarily Californians where it was outlawed there years ago. There was a recent video of a mountain lion attacking dogs in broad...
Wow that is unbelievable the shot is all clumped together like that. I shot one box once and it was a bad experiment, totally destroyed short range birds. Looked exactly like KEOutdoors photo above. No thanks never have shot any more since.
You keep saying "they need to limit out of state hunters cause most states do". WRONG. Anybody can buy NR Upland licenses and hunt pretty much as much as they want you just have to buy multiple licenses in some places. So you want the first week in Montana for residents only? Take up your bitch...
What an odd post based on you haven't hunted there in 15 years so you are speculating? I have hunted near where you speak for the past 27 years. I don't see it as bad as you are speculating, there are still birds but drought has been the biggest issue there getting no rain the past few years. A...
So I own a Browning Gold hunter semi-auto 12 ga and two Benelli's(12 ga) and by far the Benelli's are way better. The gas operated Browning constantly needs cleaning to the point it won't eject shells. Benelli's never have this issue ever as they are way cleaner being inertia operated. I don't...
I have no clue exactly where you are referring to but where I hunt totally opposite. Lane and Ness counties pretty much wiped out from drought, emergency haying CRP, and little moisture there.
Drought= less cover, insects, food available, plus moisture for them. I totally disagree with you why aren't they thriving then where the drought maps show bad drought?
I hunt this area also and agree the SW region is very poor right now. A lot of CRP has been converted to harvestable ground. The drought from 2022 decimated the population. I hunted for 3 days there a few weeks ago and got 2 birds. Both were old ones and didn't look like much of a hatch happened...
