3/4 different stickers for a snowmobile in middle of NOWHERE seems un-American lol

These wardens are awesome. There not trying to just write situations. They are trying to educate sportsman. I’m sure we have all been there. A halibut just under size. Salmon out of season. It’s very easy to be tempted to do the wrong thing.

Go from feeling just pissed about the wounded elk and deer to smiling because the Winter special Olympics is super awesome!!

This is not a recent show. Don't worry too much.

It’s people like the older men in the Suburban that give the rest of us hunters a bad name.

I've always wanted to be a game warden. I love the outdoors and conservation of the land and animals for hunting.

Ive been hunting 40 yrs and was taught by my dad never point a gun unless you intend to shoot and always know you have a clean shot i grew up in Indiana our game wardens would have been pissed

That goofy woman should not be hunting, should have tossed the book at them and loss of privileges for life. Pure carelessness.

Yay for the two daughters getting their first bucks!

All these different permits and stamps are RIDICULOUS!

Not really. That’s how you get to ride nice groomed trails and have a rescue service if something goes wrong. It’s actually dirt cheap if you compare it to private areas.

I live in Tn and I get the hunting regs to in the mail. Here in Tn the state changes something about every year and I make sure I read what’s new for the hunting season before anything else.

Almost bought a house overlooking flathead lake a few years ago, but ended up deciding on Idaho due to some policies/laws… about 20 mins from the Montana border so I still get to check out the Zone 1 area (Glacier, paradise, plains, hot springs, etc.)

If this had been in VT and many states, these hunters would have been in serious trouble. They would have at least lost their license. That kid had no business being let loose with such limited experience. He didn't even know what it meant to pick up his brass. That lady said "I'm a terrible shot!" If you're unable to make a clean shot then you shouldn't take it. They just wanted to get her tags filled because her husband's was full. Look at what happens when you don't know what you're doing. The number they donate shows that this isn't a rare problem.

Yeah I wouldn't surprise me she probably just shot in the center the herd and hope to hit something and without even realizing she already hit one, she just kept shooting! I totally despise Hunters that do that, you pick out one animal make a good aim and then fire, then if the animal stumbles or flinches or anyting you go to the last place that animal was when you shot and you look for blood and if there's blood you track that animal until you find it! As far as the kid goes, it's hard enough for a well-seasoned Hunter to hit a running elk, let alone a young kid that's his first year of hunting! 👎👎👎

Too many permits and regulations in Montana. I'd be worried every time I went out that I had forgotten to get some kind of paperwork (and of course paid the appropriate fees).

Tough job. A lot of guessing. What if they guy in the Jeep had not been a landowner. He was already over the radio as the shooter from his vehicle.

Always some trigger happy one

You bust people for having a beer, but you let that lady go, after shooting 5 elk. She should have been arrested. Those are the people that ruin it for everyone!!!!

But agree on penalty and possible jail depending on situation. And some situations maybe up it to 10 years or permanent even in some or something. IDK Its horrible no matter what if it was purpose or maybe they really didnt realize and the strict fine will teach them. Ok I ramble Im just going to send it!

Amazing how many bad hunters get off wounding animals that can't be found. That is why there are so many anti hunters. I'm a hunter but I sure agree with anti-hunters in situations like that. Those guy's in the white vehicle should have been fined. Never understood shooting an animal out of a tree. That is not hunting.

They should lose there license for 10 years

They used to have a auction in Bozeman and sell each elk and deer or parts of to the highest bidder many years ago but there is so many more irresponsible people running around shooting willy nilly , there probably isn't time for that anymore.

Why not have the game warden the condition use permit. For those that don’t have them.

I heard the lady say i didnt want to shoot two so i really dont think she hit those other ones granted she didnt make a kill on the one she put down, but she did get that one. Who's to say how many nonsportsman shot into that heard beforehand and just left

Come on. Shooting a tree animal. Soo wrong!!!

Why are these lazy hunters shooting into a compacted herd??? Hunters are typically the best conservationists. But not the kid & his party or the land owner with the woman hunter!

What does the temperature have to do with anything? Seems like the wardens are animals rights activists. First off if you hunt long enough you will wound an animal. Makes most hunters sick when this happens but it does happen. Hopefully the kid learns from this.

And this week on the Montana tyrants we see that the tyrants will collect more fees and taxes to use the public lands use … how many ways can we tax people and fine people !

Safety police! Do you have all 9 special use permits to be here? Nothing like taxing people and then charging them to use public land.

Why do private property owners in Montana have to make a contract with F&G to hunt on their own property or have hunters? F&G need more $$?

Charging ppl for a permit to use state land seems morally wrong. Just tax ppl more enough with the permit bs

I think its absolutley rediculous that the wardens gave the boy such a hard time at 13 for wounding an Elk. Any hunter that is honest will tell you that all of us hunters have wounded a few along the way. Not every single shot is always going to be a kill shot. Yes, i agree it is a learning lesson, but it should have been a lesson learned without grown men hiding behind a badge breathing down the kids throat. Then they kept saying "in this kind of weather", what the hell did the weather have to do with anything. Hell i would love it if it were warm and sun shining when i went to the woods.
