Final Safari Sling Thread Update I used the safari sling throughout the 2011 hunting season in Montana and it worked perfectly. I would suggest to others to hang in there (as suggested to me) and you will find that the safari sling just works great. It is a matter of simply getting used to the...

I am not demonizing the wolf and before I lived in Montana I thought it was good that they were being re-introduced into the west. Not anymore, they come to within 100 yards of our house in Montana almost on a nightly basis looking for prey animals. We have had moose that bed 50 yards besides...

When I wish to confirm a story I am not afraid to make contact with public officials because I believe the only stupid question is the one that is not asked. With all do respect, your absolute belief in the information quality of the Internet is naive. Cheers.

H&H; with all do respect I provided a telephone number and there is only one female wolf biologist at FWP. All someone has to do is call the number and ask for that person and they will know who is requested. My mistake, which I now realize, was I should not have wasted my time with the post to...

Here is an interesting referenced paper by the BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW covering the history of wolves in the United States. Note in one of the references there is a discussion of packs of wolves taking babies in other countries. The paper is detailed and not an Internet sound bite...

Spooky video, especially since the guy can't carry a pistol in Canada while bow hunting. One of my German Shepherd dogs was in the room resting nearby when I was watching it and when he heard the howling his head perked right up.

Tin Foil Etc. As I said earlier please contact the Montana FWP wolf biologist. You can reach her by calling the main number (406) 444-2950 and ask to speak with the (woman) wolf biologist (she has a dog that she regularly takes out with her hiking, which was how we got into the discussion). I...

AZ Hunters, I salute you! Last two AZ posters are folks I like to have as friends. If you hunt in MT let me know so we can get the coffee warm before you come up.

Contact Montana FWP and ask for the wolf biologist and they will relate the story to you, which is where I obtained the information. The Internet is the tin foil, with all due respect.

A friend that owns Capital Sports in Montana (who seasonally hunts in Arizona) recently told me that there are hunting regions in Southern Arizona adjacent to the border with Mexico that are marked: "Contact Homeland Security for More Information" before hunting in these areas. Any of you guys...

That's for certain. Moving from Colorado to Montana, mountain lions seem to grow bigger by two feet in length. I saw one on Conifer Mountain in Colorado crossing a road that was not more than six feet in length. In Montana males reach eight feet in overall length. That being said I couldn't tell...

Wolves Loosing Fear of People I am more concerned that the wolves loose their fear of people in Montana as a result of (condition white) people feeding them (as has taken place with bears in Yellowstone and Glacier for example). This is also the concern of the Montana FWP based upon my recent...

H&H, When I said a large German shepherd dog I meant between 70-100 pounds, which is the size of my 9 month male (80 pounds). I have clarified the post. I also have a 150 pound black Newfoundland dog and that wolf was larger than my Newfoundland. The snow tracks of the wolves that approach my...

Many hunters in Montana have seen this recent picture that shows the difference in size between a wolf and a coyote. I thought THR hunters outside of Montana would find the comparison in size interesting. It used to be said that no wolf had killed a person in the lower 48. This is no longer...
