    Montana MSG Results

    No joy for me or my kids. I guess just another summer scouting trip to 323 for fun.

    Montana MSG Results

    Thankfully, I've done a lot of hunting in my life. As much as I do want to hunt the animals, I get a lot of enjoyment just from being in their presence. I am committed to drawing a certain area, regardless of odds. I do a week long summer vacation to the area and try to hike into a different...

    Spring bear

    Called the ranger district today. Looks like gates are to be unlocked May 1. Will get there May 2, so I'll at least be able to drive in a bit.

    Spring bear

    Plan to be in Idaho unit 12 the first full week of May. Pretty sure the gates will still be locked then so we will backpack in.

    Toyota Tacoma TRD, etc...Seller's Market!

    I got my Bronco last month. It's a good start, like any vehicle. Several mods to make it fit my needs and it will be better. Certainly not worth a year and a half wait and what some are paying for them, but I felt my price point ($37K) was where the value was. That said, for the money you...

    Do Nonresidents have a reasonable chance of drawing Bison, Moose, Sheep, or Goat tags

    No, there is no reasonable chance of drawing unless maybe you put in for every animal in every state and you're still looking at probably a 20 year span to draw something. I decided several years ago that not drawing wasn't going to stop me from hunting. I just use a camera instead of a gun...

    Mountain goat round?

    I don't know that I'd draw that conclusion from a sample of one each, but it could also be the difference in bullet selection as well as bullet placement. A partition loses much of the front end and creates secondary projectiles while the barnes retains almost 100% and creates a more narrow...

    Mountain goat round?

    Well, I guess you could call a 300+lb goat slab sided, but that's one pretty thick slab. Shoulder and front leg bones are more dense than most animals it's size. You still want a good bullet that will penetrate bone, even if the goal is a lung shot, which is not my choice. I want to break...

    What would be the best advise for NR DYI Mountain Goat hunt with no points?

    So, having lived in Kodiak and gone on many Kodiak goat hunts of my own and others, I don't necessarily recommend it for a guided hunt if you live in the lower 48 as your one and only goat hunt. There is nothing wrong with Kodiak if that's where you want to go, but for a guided hunt, I'd...

    Anyone in the auto industry?

    I'm just hoping there's a chip available to go in my new Bronco that is scheduled to be built next month. Planning on using it on my goat scouting trip to MT in August.

    Let’s talk chainsaws!

    I've been looking for an electric to leave in the vehicle for hunting season for deadfalls across the road. I don't really have a need for a real saw, but don't like cruising the backroads without one. Any recommendations? I'm thinking a 14-16in model with two batteries should handle most issues.
