    Hunting Alone

    Sounds like a lot of folks feel like I do about it. When I do go I’ll have a “in-reach” and I’ll use it as a lifeline for support with my family and hunting partners that aren’t there.

    Hunting Alone

    Thanks for the vote of confidence! Yes you need to be a little bit more safety conscious. But yes I’m going to try it. I’m about 17 hrs away. And I think I’ll be planning on coming for archery. It’s exiting doing all the E scouting and planning. I have a few spots in mind in region 3 I’ve picked...

    Hunting Alone

    I have done some hunting solo and the connection I get from being out there alone is amazing. But I do agree with the people that said say fight with themselves about staying positive. Yes I’ve talked myself out of doing stuff I probably would have done if a had someone else there. Thanks for...

    Montana game pack out?

    Thanks for the information. I cant resist the temptation of doing a solo archery elk trip myself. With the odds of me finding elk then getting on them. then closing the deal on a bull and the probability of a multi-mile, multi-trip pack out. Is exactly the trip I'm looking for. and if i...

    Boars, pigs in Montana?

    its tru that those hogs caused tons of damage and wreak havoc on row crops and cattle land. I’m in a state that already has a ton of hogs. They trap with permission. But for a recreational hunter that does own not farm or ranch. It’s pig season everyday here! I know our state is all messed...

    Montana game pack out?

    That’s my biggest worry about bow hunting solo. The time at the carcass will be increased and you being alone will make it harder to be aware of my surroundings when I’m knee deep in a elk carcass. So by the response so far it not that common for pack company’s to do a pack out. I’ll be looking...

    Montana game pack out?

    Yes I do have a custom made sked made from the raw material that is made from your rescue skeds. My hunting partner (fire cpt.) talked a rep into giving us 15’ or so. We installed grommets and presto it’s a dragging sled. Mine is pig sized though. Works great on most terrane. I do have a big...

    Montana game pack out?

    Yes, copy that. Temperature and distance play a big role in a go/no-go. The care of the meat is the most important part in the puzzle.

    Montana game pack out?

    yea, put some elevation in that and could be a will/endurance tester. With good game bags and cool temps if I get lucky , that’s what I’m planning on, hanging my meat in shade in the open as far away from the kill site as possible. Then take as many trips as it takes

    Montana game pack out?

    Thanks, as with most I’m very fired up on archery, but put a elk at 300 yards with a 30/06 is a dead animal almost every time. So I’m probably going to be back during rifle. Unless it’s my turn to get lucky 😉

    Montana game pack out?

    I’m headed to the great state of Montana somewhere in region 3, I haven’t decided exactly where yet but a have at least 3 areas i will be deciding on. And this is based on a lot of internet facts I could dig into. Including the elk counts (I think are done in winter), harvest statistics, a...

    Whats your 2019 plans

    Hi, jumping in on this. I have a otc archery only tag in Idaho. I’m going on a private land trespassing fee. And I have a big game combo tag for Montana! That is the one I’m most excited about. I’m soaking up lots of information here. I’m thinking about a archery hunt somewhere in region 3 . I’m...
