    Man looks like bullet holes to me. Anyone seen this before?

    Saying goodbye to hard hunting this fall

    Condolences! That is tough for 28. But you have lots of seasons in front of you. As a teenager I had to sit out an elk season for knee surgery and it was tough. But now that's just in the rear view mirror. You'll be back at it. Patience!

    Montana Moose

    I drew a moose tag a few years ago and got great advice from Hunt Talkers. I didn't get a moose, but that's tnot Hunt Talk's fault. I just ran out of time. I split my 2 weeks into early October for rut and mid November for tracking snow. October was lovely, weather was warm, but the rut seemed...

    Frank Church Wilderness to allow chain saws......

    I am very familiar with the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation. I've not worked with them in the field but I have worked with them in their strategies and know their people. They are great people who do wonderful work, as are the outfitters who clear many of the trails in the Bob. They are force...

    Frank Church Wilderness to allow chain saws......

    I always get very nervous when people with power want to get away with something "because it's an emergency." Generally, the "emergency" is either imaginary or entirely of their making.

    Frank Church Wilderness to allow chain saws......

    I feel for both sides. The blowdowns this year are stunning. But I also understand the problem of slippery slopes and politicians who like shortcuts. Chainsaws this year. What is next? Not long ago, I was backpacking in a "wilderness" park in Canada. Arrived at an alpine valley to see blue...

    Stories from Hunter Ed

    How many of you have volunteered as a hunter ed instructor? Ever thought about it? I got strong-armed into it 4 years ago and I have to say it's very rewarding. The more I do it, the more I enjoy it. It's very refreshing working with 11 and 12 year olds who are not jaded by hunting media and...

    PhD dissertation defense at MSU-Bozeman

    Congratulations! Let us know how it goes. (Although this post gives me PTSD over college organic chemistry class 40 years ago.)

    Helle Knives

    I've had a Helle for several years. (It was the orignal premium for being a life member at BHA). I can't remember the model. The steel is great. The wood handle is very nice looking. Very sturdy knife. I ordered it online and when I received it I realized it was larger than i expected and really...

    WFS Winter pac boots size 12

    My dad, at 92, is downloading some of his hunting gear. He's no longer hunting the big snows of northern Idaho. So I am offering for sale his insulated pac boots. Size 12. 10 inch uppers. They have some miles, but many left. Air bob soles are still good, as he mostly worn in the snow. The...

    Ford Ranger or Nissan Frontier

    My old truck was a Ford F150. It was great but got totaled when a college kid slammed into me on an icy road. Never had a Ranger. I do have a 2016 Frontier. I bought it in 2017 from a guy who fixed it up. It was a rental car and had been in a fender-bender and the rental company dumped it...
