Montana Memories
Ya, definitely Legend status around there. We had seen him several times from the road like 300 yards away and setup a blind at the age of the field he was feeding. No one had good optics so best we knew he was a big “10 point.” Another family friend was hunting the evening the buck got hit...- Big Sky Guy

Montana Memories
Hunting was cooler before fancy phones, although I do enjoy the higher quality photos we get now. Something about physical photos just makes it nostalgic. Glad you have those memories to treasure. I have many similar photos of deer from our family farm in Ohio. Bittersweet now, mostly...- Big Sky Guy

Budget trekking poles
Also I highly recommend the Quick Stix from Wiser Precision. Pretty stable bipod and it holds the poles together nicely. Also cork handles are a must IMO. Aluminum vs. Carbon is personal choice. Peax makes the hybrid one now supposed to be best of both worlds but at the end of the day it’s...- Big Sky Guy

Budget trekking poles
Costco (Cascade Mointain Tech Carbon Fiber) are $30-50 on eBay or Marketplace. I have 3 sets. Had one lower section break but I was going over rock field with 6” of snow and pole went down in and must have snapped but idk if any pole would handle pushing forward that far with just the bottom...- Big Sky Guy

Gear Room - Let’s see yours
Not my room, just a pic I found online. Search metal gridwall panel accessories I think is what they are called. ULINE carries some, idk if they have the ones in photo though.- Big Sky Guy

“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”
I agree, except not to check boundaries but to drop a waypoint and/or start a track. 5 guys and not one of them did? Almost seems impossible in 2025. It honestly makes me think they figured that out when they got to the bull and pulled out phone to do that so then no one dropped a point or...- Big Sky Guy

“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”
Yea, super bummed to read it honestly. I think Andrew has always seemed like a stand up guy. We are all human and make mistakes but mistakes are certainly magnified when filmed and viewed a bunch. I think the unwritten lesson #3 (which I was a bit surprised he didn't discuss) is don't take a...- Big Sky Guy

Accupoint love
Thank you, 🧐. I’m debating between this and the plex, leaning toward the plex. In 10 years I’ve not had a shot at game over 300 yards and only one over 200. Would be going on a 6.5cm I’ll run calculation and see.- Big Sky Guy

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Pretty sure every Montana resident on Hunt Talk would gladly pay double. Maybe double wouldn’t be enough to close the gap in reduced NR license sales depending how many reduced, but point being we all know how ridiculously cheap the tags are and are fine with higher tag costs. Now the majority...- Big Sky Guy

Genuinely curious, not being obnoxious, are you addicted to rebarreling/tinkering with Tikkas or are you a gunsmith?- Big Sky Guy
