Hunting

Early reports indicated that this year’s hunting season was off to a slow start, but Regional Wildlife Manager Mike Thompson says that although the harvest was down, there were actually more hunters out and about during the first weekend of rifle season this year...

The general hunting season in Montana starts this Saturday. Regional Wildlife Manager for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Mike Thompson, says the season runs for five weeks through the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

I have found some strange things while out in the woods hunting, but nothing like what this Georgia bowhunter found.

Missoula's Cabela’s store, the World’s Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, has announced plans to team up with the National Rifle Association to host an in-store NRA Weekend event at their new location at 3650 Brooks (former KMart location.)

My boss is not from Montana, he lives in the big city of Portland. Every time I talk to him he asks me what I’m up to here in beautiful Montana. I’m always telling him hunting and fishing stories, most of which he finds humorous. He also is amazed at some of the things we Montanans do that his employees in other states wouldn’t dream of doing.

Thanks to my husband and his obsession with hunting, I’ve been coerced into taking it up as a hobby. In the past few years I’ve compiled quite a collection of camouflage clothing. They range in color from pink to orange and green to white. You can get camouflage in almost any color now a days.

My husband and 12-year-old have been walking all over the hills west of Missoula looking for a buck. The past few weeks of constant searching only to turn up nothing was really getting to my preteen. This is the first year he is old enough to hunt.

This past weekend I spent many hours taking my gun for a walk. I know to some it may seem like a waste of time, but he had been a really good boy and was just begging me to take him for a walk in the woods.
