The race isn't always about the finish line, but that's certainly your call.  I've learned that you can work hard and enjoy things along the way.

Agreed!  I have never met anyone who NEVER took even one day off from school work.  I find it hard to believe that someone wouldn't take one or two Sunday's to go kill a deer.  If anything it is justified for the meat alone.  I would think a poor college student would want a deer or 7 in their freezer.  Maybe Naches would need more than a day to kill a legal deer in Montana :dunno:  I know I wouldn't. :twocents:

Tag. Planning on possibly attending the university of montana as early as 2015 but when you fork over 30 k a year for tuition, how can a person afford hunting? Nice try, I would rather study and get my moneys worth in education.

If a hundred bucks is going to be a deal breaker then you might want to look at a cheaper school.

I was saying if I pay 30,000 a year, I would rather focus hard on school. Hunting can wait. A job is what funds hunting but in order to enjoy hunting in the future, you need an education so you have money to play with. Getting a double major in my field is something more important to me than enjoying hunting while I am there. Education always come first, hunting comes last IMO.
dude you got to relax, its great and all that your gonna take school that serious and get your monies worth, but life is to short dude, you got to have time to clear your head and refocus and then carry on, you cant do that if your face is always stuffed in a book, and what a better way than hittn the hills, with your mind set it sounds like you will do fine in school, but a little fun along the way will make it alot more memorable and defiantly alot more relaxing  :tup:

I remember it well.  Went to school at Northern AZ University (NAU) in Flagstaff.  Every fall I would drive to school and drop off all my stuff at the Dorm or Apartment.  Then I'd keep driving north to the Kiabab Plateau for Archery Deer in early Sept.  Over the years, I skinned and processed many a deer hung in the stairwell and cut/wrapped venison in my room.  Would store it at a buddies parents house in Williams, AZ.  But, that was early to mid-80's.  Today, you'd probably get strung up in the stairwell yourself if you tried to process your deer on campus...lol.  But, nothing better than eating venison steak when I'd probably been eating top ramen if I didn't spend some time out hunting too.

You might be pleasantly surprised.  I graduated in 3.5 years, got a double major, good enough grades to get scholarships for post-college education, worked as a roofer, and still found time to have way too much fun and to hunt and fish constantly.  My only regret is graduating in 3.5 years....

To qualify you have to be a full time student which consists of taking 12 credits or more. I went to the registrar at my school (MSUB COT) and she typed up a letter that consisted of one or two sentences and she signed it. Went along the lines of "Jon is enrolled as a full time student at MSUB COT for the Fall Semester etc." I took that to the region 5 FWP head quarters at lake elmo with my proof of hunter ed and a previous archery license and paid a hundred bucks. That was it. Heres some more info.  http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/licenses/nonresidentStudent.html

This thread went off course somewhat, but its true that you get out of your education what you put in. Good grades means hard work, more competitive for jobs. That being said, I couldn't imagine going to school in montanny and not hunting! Part of an education is learning the landscape and culture you live in

Go to school, get good grades, meet life long friends, hunt till your hearts content, and have the time of your life! Thats my advice and what I did, I also made the Deans List every semester I was in college. I had a great time and will never regret it. If you want to be that weird guy who holes up in his dorm room studying his life away hoping his grades will get him a job, good luck. Getting a good job these days is all about networking and your social skills, the degree just shows you kind of know what your doing and can stick with something for a few years.

Oddly enough the current job I'm working resulted from meeting a hunting partner during the 2012 general season hunting on a NR student hunting license. I absolutely love my job and where I live. Obviously a rare circumstance, but if I would of stayed in the dorm I wouldnt be where I am.
