I saw a rope light today at Sierra trading post, that also retracts and can act more as a lantern. If it functions properly, I thought it looked good. Google shows several people make them.

I hope you continue to enjoy the Alaknak.
Got a response from my note. Seems he comes right out and continues to lie. It has alwasy been a grey area and never been illegal.

Thank you for reaching out to me about corner crossing. I appreciate hearing from you and value your input.
Our Montana way of life is second...
I read all the info out there and listened to the podcats etc. I was skeptical, but the logic rang true, knowing that we all kill plenty of animals with arrows. So I tried it... I have been extremely impressed, and it has really changed my perspective after many years of hunting with a 270 and...
After three years of watching this guy, he finally made a mistake and walked past a stand during the last weekend of archery season.
Gross scored 174”
Great ending to an awesome buck.
Gdtting back to my original post... Here are the first photo's I have gotten of this buck in 2025. Hopefully we will get some better pictures at somepoint and start seeing him while we are out hunting. This year he doesn't get a free pass.
Thank you for the great photo's, I am also one of the lucky one's that has a montana tag in my pocket this year. Really excited to learn all I can and enjoy this adventure. Headed out to my district this weekend for some scouting.

No worries at all, it is a struggle to keep up with the thread after several posts. I am just happy the generosity continues to spread and this thread has gotten more comments. @Rack Daniels and I are trying to figure out a plan. Regarding the Alaknak tent setup, I have an offer from @Corn...
Please send me a PM and let's see if we can arrange our schedule. If you can make it to Billings, consider it a done deal. I also have some vortex scopes I could throw in on the deal if you need one.
Going to try here first, before these items go up for sale... Let's hope humanity doesn't let me down, please don't try to abuse my generosity. I am fortunate and have plenty of great hunting gear, I am looking to move some items along to help someone get a jump start into the hunting world. I...
In today’s world, you are not going to make it with a salary by 30. It is going to come with risk. I have taken risk, I have won and I have lost.
When opportunities present themselves chase them down. If family/friends give you a chance/head start give it all you have. But, never trade your...
He is located in Montana, has a river bottom to hide in, and is surrounded by sugar beets, corn and wheat.
We have killed some bucks that have ranged in age from 3.5-9.5 years old. I would agree, the horns give no indication. The biggest rack was the 3.5 year old old and he was a 150” 4x4...
