    MT Unit 327

    So I am moving out of MT (to southern Idaho). Normally I hunt in SE MT for mule deer. I don't really have time to drive that far this year, so I've been looking at SW MT. Can anyone tell me if 327 is worth spending some time hunting? Unfortunately, with the move and starting a new job, I won't...

    Grizz in the Big Hole

    I saw a Grizz on July/2014, while backpacking deep in the Pintlers. I was too slow to get it on camera (it ran off immediately upon our encounter). I don't think many people believe that I saw what I saw. But there was no mistaking it :)

    And the 2015 Montana Elk results are...?

    Garmin GPS

    Rage or no Rage, that is the question?

    Yep. As mentioned earlier, I've done it twice and penetrated both times. I think if you hit the thick part you're screwed, though. Best to avoid it all together ;)

    Bowtech Insanity CPXL 70-80# New String/Cables

    I'll entertain any high end gear, but would really like to trade for/towards an Ultralight freestanding tent or a Kifaru pack.

    Bowtech Insanity CPXL 70-80# New String/Cables

    2012 model, RH. New limbs last year and brand new string & cables just installed (Octane). I currently have it set at 77 lbs and it draws real nice, not much harder to pull than my new 70lb bow. New 70-80# limbs were installed last summer. But the paint has already started chipping off the...

    Hammocks for backpack hunts

    I use my hammock just for mid-day naps or for something to sit on. It's a Grand Trunk Nano 7. I use Whoopie Slings for the harness. Total weight is under 9 oz., perfect for throwing in my daypack.

    GPS vs. Smart phone

    I don't use a paper map either unless I am doing a long backpacking trip in big country (in which case I believe they are important) . I will not got lost if my gps dies while out hunting..... I won't go in to detail but it involves common sense and experience. Back to topic - I prefer...
