Happy Public Lands Day from your #publiclands in this case the #flatheadnationalforest #montana
This time of year the bucks start coming out of the woodwork. Hey @schmidsam and @wiredtohunt how old do you think this buck is? Photo by Karen
Swan Peak peeks over the Swan Range. IMO the Swan River National Wildlife Refuge is the prettiest refuge in the system. But feel free to prove me wrong. #usfishandwildlifeservice #nationalwildliferefuge #publiclands
Bear sign while grouse hunting today…
Enjoyed spending opening day of grouse season with Diane Boyd and her amazing Griffon pup Sky. This dog is going to be one to watch. We just need to find her more birds. @mtcanis #birddogs #pointersrule #ruffedgrouse #montana #thankgodforseptember

Great to visit Wild Horse Island last week with my friend Peter. WHI is my favorite state park, home to world-record bighorn sheep and former party spot for Al Capone. It was purchased with #landandwaterconservationfund dollars, like so many great sp
I am not particularly experienced rider but I do know a lot of cowboy songs and horses seem to like me. Thanks #chefflegacyoutfitters #bobmarshallwilderness #montana #wilderness @iantysonmusic @corblund @1b_slug
Brian Marotz spend a career fighting for Montana's native fish, and here he is enjoying them. The #westslopecutthroattrout is #Montana's state fish. The #bobmarshallwilderness contains roughly half of the westslope cutthroat trout habitat in the stat
Older than the Constitution. Older than any treaty. I grew up calling these "Indian trees" but more up-to-date term is "culturally altered trees." The Kootenai and other people would scrape the cambium out of these big Ponderosa p
Back from a week on one of the finest wilderness #trout streams in the world deep in the #wilderness. Steve McQueen said "I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth." I second that emotion. #bobmarshallwildern
