    2025 Montana Bull

    I believe all hunting is "luck" ... you can improve your luck by being smart. But there is always an element of "luck". Congratulations!

    Grizzly Bear Attack in Canada Injures Eleven.

    Grizzly Bear Attack in Canada I heard this the other day on the news ... grizzly attacks school children on a "field trip" and injures eleven. This is pretty much unheard of, most of the time it's one or maybe two people.

    Two Idaho Hunters Killed In Two Days Highlights Dangers Of Unsafe Hunting

    Truly sad. Prayers for all involved. "Complacency Kills". It is a good, but very unfortunate reminder to us all.

    Frontal shot on elk

    IMO ... it would have to be an ideal situation at 25 yards or less. As Elktrack stated ... "There’s a small opening that you have to hit just right to get in the good stuff".

    30-06 130 TTSX Enough for Cow Elk?

    Packable Rain Gear

    I purchased Chugach rain jacket and pants from KUIU several years ago. They are light-weight, and they do not take up much space (roll them up) in my pack. I actually use the pants as snow pants in the winter for downhill or cross-country skiing. They fit great over sweats or KUIU long...

    Your most ignored rule

    Bike helmets/Ski helmets. If you wiped out ... you picked yourself up ... repeat (made for a good scar and story to tell). We're raising a bunch of "wimps" :ROFLMAO:.
