Think you found yourself a keeper of a mountain man? A guy with a little hair on his chest, who keeps the freezer full of deer and elk? Seems like it should be easy enough in Bozeman, but let's find out what these fellows actually look like.

Grand ambitions unceremoniously thwarted. Bozeman has always been a town of dreamers. The most recent influx of transplants (e.g., me) are perhaps the dreamiest of all, arriving with Instagram expectations and unjustified self-confidence.

"The mule deer is a deceptive trophy. Come autumn, these seemingly fearless deer become ghosts, bounding away at the slightest provocation, and vanishing into the rugged landscape whence they came. Hunting mule deer is a dedicated undertaking, but the rewards of pursuing the deer in the gorgeous mountains and grasslands of southwest Montana make them a challenge worth rising to meet."

Get the rundown, and lots more hunting content in this year's Stalk Hunting Guide.

The beginner's guide to chasing mule deer in Montana. Mule deer are a western icon. Just looking at a picture of big muley buck can have you smelling sage brush and dreaming of climbing through rocky canyons and glassing endless miles of snowcapped peaks.

"For most of human history, involvement in wilderness was a daily engagement. But nowadays, what does it mean both for wilderness and humans when we lose the connection? If wilderness is seen as separate—something that is not us, there is a danger that it can become just another commodity."

Retired forest ranger Traute Parrie weighs in on these issues in an essay commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act.

A few years back, we tried our hand at prophecy. And honesty, so far we haven't been that far off. Sure, the M hasn't been replaced with a snowflake emoji yet—but a version of the "Not So Epic" ski pass does exist (it was named the "Indy Pass," and they should've consulted us first). Read all of our predictions for the future of Bozeman.

Peering into Bozeman’s crystal ball. From Nostradamus to Miss Cleo, history is filled with clairvoyant exemplars.
