    Which Caliber for Elk

    Thank you for your service! As to reducing recoil, why not have a gunsmith cut threads onto the barrel and add a muzzle break? I’ve killed plenty of elk with ear plugs or muffs on. If your being sneaky and have time the extra seconds to add ear protection is manageable. A little ring can cover...

    MT general Seasons

    It depends on the area and what the animals are doing there. Some areas hold elk before the snow, other spots when pressure hits, other spots as the snow moves them out of other areas. We have had 1.5 to 2 ft of snow the second week of archery, and sometimes don’t have a foot by thanksgiving...

    Tell Me which 22LR rifle to buy

    My understanding is that a VUDOO is about as close to the pinnacle as anything. You looked at their product?

    So it happens.....

    After suffering a broken jaw I think the guy that got beat up should get a pass on not video documenting or photographing the other vehicles. I expect that it surely reduces your cognitive abilities in the short term.

    Husky mistaken for wolf

    Sad to see everyone piling on the other posts, none of us were there, didn’t see the same views of the animal. We have all shot a deer / elk we thought was bigger / somehow different after it’s on the ground.

    Husky mistaken for wolf

    I searched for “husky” and didn’t see it. Sorry to fracture the discussion

    Husky mistaken for wolf

    https://flatheadbeacon.com/2022/09/27/investigation-underway-in-husky-shooting-near-doris-creek/ I expect a few other people have seen this story in the news. Is it possible she could have not had a good look at its head? (The most distinctive part to me)

    Landowner and Hunter.

    A database of landowners looking for assistance with projects would be of great way to build some relationships with landowners. Even if they don’t let you hunt they would have a better opinion of hunters if we made a positive difference.

    Do you carry a handgun as a backup when hunting?

    I purchased a 10mm this fall for carrying, been using a KelTec PMR30 (22 Magnum) for same purpose but decided to get something larger.

    New Director for MT FWP

    Dragging this thread back out of the trash….. how about those members that know the director get the rest of us all informed on what the heck is going on? Now a full reorganization of FWP? At this point I almost expect to hear all landowners will be deputized and given a FWP wage as a game warden

    Field judging with a second focal plane scope?

    So, I am NOT a scope expert but a few years back I saw mention that judging a Yukon moose with a mil-dot system was possible (to identify a 50” moose for a non-resident). Would judging like that require a second focal plane scope? And would it even be practical? Reason I ask is I’m am in the...

    Anyone in the auto industry?

    I repair cars/trucks. Been my experience that a modern half ton will generally do about the same towing a one ton did 20 years ago. Look at the tow capacity of a Ford ranger with the diesel and then compare that to a 3500 Chevy from 1989 (5.7 engine) the ranger is rated for more. It’s wild...
