    How close is too close?

    In my experience I haven’t found “warning shots” to be effective on cabin raiding black bears. Bean bags work, but they could have cared less about a round fired off over their head. That sow on meateater was the perfect example of a bluff charge. Head held high, moving slowly, basically...

    School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country

    I’d carry the .357 with a good 180 or 158 gr bullet that will penetrate deep. Depending on where you’re planning on going you might have a small chance of bumping into a bear or you might be dealing with them on a regular basis. I personally don’t buy the idea that you don’t have to worry about...

    Montana S/G/M results 2024

    They didn’t, which just means a big dark timber 6 point bull is in my future.

    6.5 PRC Christensen Arms Mesa Vs Browning X-bolt Hells canyon

    I’ve noticed the same. The used rack is dominated by Christensen with quite a few Bergaras as well. They’re popular and the flavor of the month so I get why they’re being traded in often, but I wouldn’t buy one myself. My dad has a Hell’s Canyon in .308 that I wasn’t sure about when he bought...

    ****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD

    Grass isn’t even green yet and my local unit will probably close any minute. I saw this one up pretty high yesterday. Not what I’m looking for, but I love watching bears.

    New BF Good rich KO3

    I wish they’d add some more tread depth to the BFGs too. That’s one thing I really like about the Falkens, which are my favorite tire I’ve used in the snow.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    Had a phenomenal dry fly day today, but this one took a caddis emerger. This little river has some nice fish if you know where to look.

    Stockys ultra carbon tikka vertical grip

    JLS just got that maven. I don’t need a new scope but it looks pretty nice. I’ve been really impressed with my Trijicon credo lately too.

    11/10 Colorado elk hunters would swear that’s a grizzly.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I like this a lot. I really hope FWP takes a serious look at it. Our current seasons aren’t sustainable and they haven’t been for a long time.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    I agree completely, I do the same with a few common patterns to mix it up. Or I just fish a pink ray Charles and pretend they’re not taking it as an egg, which they definitely are.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    There’s no need to blur our the squirmies and eggs, we won’t be offended… I wasn’t able to fish or hunt bears at all this week so I stocked up on a bunch of the small stuff that catches a ton of fish. Soft hackles, $3 dips, shop vacs, hares ear and pheasant tail varieties, and others. Threw in...

    Need recommendations for low budget binos

    I’m not a Vortex fan for my own uses, but those newer diamondback HDs are actually pretty damn decent for the price you can get them for. If I were in your shoes that’s probably what I would buy in some 8x42s. The warranty aspect means a little more with a kid using them as well.

    Zeiss v4 4-16x44

    Damn nice scope. If I hadn’t just bought a new Trijicon 1-6 it would be going home with me to replace a VX3.
