    Bear Spray or Pistol? Both?

    A lot of very valid replies to this very important thread for those who hunt in Montana. A year or 2 back I took a 2 day course in Bozeman "Surviving a Griz attack". Got to visit with a griz trainer and his bear; Todd Orr came to describe his mauling; practiced trying to hit a charging bear on...

    Where or How Do You Carry?

    Took an interesting class last summer, "surviving a griz attack". They had a bear head posted on a target on rails that came at you for about 30 feet, and you had to get your bear spray out and hit the target before it got to you. I think only 1 person out of the 20 or so students was...

    Montana Hunters.....We Need Your Help

    This is a big issue for hunters, recreationists and the landowner. Just went to the DNRC website and while they have a link "email the Land Board", it will not open. I did email DNRC but not sure if it will get to the Board.

    CWD in deer and elk

    Here is a great article on the current state of affairs concerning CWD in Montana and Wyoming. A long read, but well worth the time. http://mountainjournal.org/chronic-wasting-disease-hits-montana Vito

    Mystery Ranch's new SCAPEGOAT 25

    Just bought a MR Scapegoat 25 from Schnees. Tried it in the store with 50 LBs and it was comfortable. Have hiked up into the Bridgers with it twice with a 36 lb load and only a light T shirt. Did not cut into my shoulders or hips at all and handled the weight great. It should handle a boned...

    FIBULA breaks. Tell me some good news

    Another thing. Be sure to go to the PT as often as possible. They wanted me to go twice a week and I said no, I wanted to come 3 times a week. The PT's told me that most patients do not come in as often as they should. They also had me icing it at least 3 times a day for 15-20 minutes...

    2016 Montana Republican Party Platform

    What probably scares me the most is that the majority of the general population of Montana and the US won't get involved and really don't give a chit, but they will be the first to bitch if it comes into being!!
