Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Buzzh

In colorado, private land is like hunting in the zoo. Cannot speak for other states...

It's the same anywhere with lots of public land. From what I've seen in just about every western state and older class animals.

Not comparable....

My buddy stood on a fence line this fall and snapped a pic of at least 300 elk bedded all over a private ranch, and not a track on public.

Our illustrious game and fish decided to drop the second weekend of third rifle to put a larger gap between seasons thinking the deer and elk would leave private and head back to public. All it did was screw the working man out of a weekend to hunt 🙄

Buzz is an arrogant, ignorant Fudd of the first order. Too dumb for self awareness. He hides "over there" because he'd get his BS tossed right back at him about like Safariman and Liar24.

I'm still laughing about this one!

Sooooo...
These cats love hunting on private land/ conditioned non pressured animal hunts with age class progression that is managed.
On a pay by size basis.

Then bragg about their awesome "hunting prowess" and fanboys cling to their exploits....

And dislike public lands cause of lack of easy opportunity and things aint all lined up for em.

And got a Liberal Socialist Democrat mindset to play for their advantage in general.


That sum it up????


LMFAO!!!


I would love to hunt out west on some public land with potential .
Shot a 4x4 mule deer in pikes peak NF behind the AF academy area in 85.
Spent the 1st day poking around after sitting in the morning.
Found some bedding areas on some sw slopes, think I pushed em off bed, really fresh tracks leaving the spot.
Got in earlier the next morning in the dark uphill to use the morning therms to over look the spot when they would start after sunrise.
150 yd shot around 9 am when 2 does and that buck came in.
Furthest shot I ever took at a deer in my life.
Thats my total experience out west.

Sure as fugg aint interested in paying for the inches on a private land hunt where I look at a portfolio book at what is on the place.
Even if it is fenced or " fair chase" no matter its acreage.

Has he offered that his dad is tougher than your dad yet?

AL frame S&W 1000? 12 or 20?

Residents need to pay a lot more. Though I’m not sure a general MT elk or deer license are worth wiping your ass with these days.

Elk and deer hunting on public land in MT is nowhere near as high quality as it was a decade or 2 ago. Why does that statement seem to be so upsetting to you?

Through most of the '90's friends hunted the Buffalo Horn and along the buffer zone of Yellowstone. They'd walk or ride horses up from the trailhead behind the 320 Ranch. They were successful in places known as "Cow Flats", "The Bull Pens", and under a place they called "Blizzard Ridge". They stopped going in '04-'05 because they stopped seeing elk.

I suspect you know that country. Do you theorize that elk migration habits changed? Seems like any direction folks used to experience high success rates hunting migrating elk close to Yellowstone have all become far less successful. Be it the Buffalo-Horn area I described, Thoroughfare, the migration down to Jackson Hole, or out to Gardiner. To what would you attribute those lower success rates?

When I first posted on thus thread I wasn't aware you and Buzz were buddies.

I don't care for Buzz's politics and arrogance. I don't care for the people he associates with. I believe they are out to destroy our hunting heritage and people like Buzz are "useful idiots" for these people.

I also believe Buzz is getting rich (his words) off our wildlife as the resources dwindles.

So ask yourself why has the hunting quality declined so much?

I also recall a few years ago you making similar comments about a lack of hunting ability, and stating if you couldn't consistently kill mature animals, all the time the hunting was horribly impacted by wolves.

I have seen first hand the devastation to the herds in Mt. & Wy. caused by the wolves.

I also remember the RMEF being on board with wolf reintroduction, I dropped my membership and never rejoined after that.

Now that I discovered you and Buzz and the Bozeman crowd are onboard with these stealth liberal so called hunters & access groups I have lost all respect.

You can't hide from the support for Tester.

Tester is an embarrassment to Montana and a threat to our freedoms and way of life.

In this day and age you would be wise to choose sides very carefully.

Well I don’t like wolves and I don’t hunt the Buffalo horn often either. Have never taken an elk there, but did once across the highway from there on Hancock. Wolves have done a lot of damage, as have the FWP in managing animals to suit those with deep pockets. The general public get to fight over [bleep] hunting, but at least the licenses are damn near free.

Let us not forget another two faced weasel dick wolf loving cuunt...

The bitch known as alpinecrick.

Never liked that prick.... didn't know he is a wolf lover... figures

wolves?

I'm now onboard with some stealth liberal hunters and groups? What groups am I a part of? Today I've learned that I’m a liberal jacka$$, piece of sheet, BHA boy, who is anti- 2A, I hunt private land, pay by the size, and hunt for money, and I’m somehow really an idiot for keeping the friends I do, and among other things, thinking that public land elk hunting on MT is not what it used to be. Also, there’s no way I could go to WA to hunt for a deer or elk, as it would just be too taxing on me and I’d likely cry and fail. I've learned a lot here today. I'm sure i'll cry myself to sleep tonight.

Elk hunting sucks here in western MT compared to years ago. I didn't shoot one in MT this year, but did let a nice bull go here in the SW part of state. I had one get away during archery in eastern MT that was a nice one. I shot one in 2019, the only one I saw. But it was a weird year. Had 3 friends score the same week I did, all on public. Had great weather and better luck.

I didn't know you were any of these thing either..... that is until you jumped on the Buzz bandwagon
