To magazine nerds like me, this issue of FWP’s Montana Outdoors is a very high achievement, from concept to ex*****on. “A Driver’s Guide To Montana’s Working Lands” delivers its promise by covering every corner, vocation, and curiosity of rural Montana. Well done, Tom Dickson, Luke Duran, and those who had a hand in this lively, informative, and unexpected 80-page marvel. It’s must-read for all Montanans, but even those of us who live on gravel will learn something about our remarkable state.

Did you hear the one about the biometrician and his buddy that went deer hunting. He saw a big doe 200 yards away running towards him. He aimed and shot at it four times. The first two shots were 6 inches to the left of it. The last two shots were 6 inches to the right of it. When the deer stopped running it was only 25 yards away, and it turned broadside and waited. The biometrician slowly lowered and unloaded his gun when his companion asked him why he didn’t shoot again? The biometrician looks at his companion, shakes his head and says. “Why? Based on this data I already got it with over 90% reliability. Let’s go gut and drag it.”

If you'd like a more complete guide to operating a snowmobile, we'd recommend following this link to the DNR snowmobile regulations:
