    Saying goodbye to hard hunting this fall

    Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery!! At your age recovery should be faster than most! I will be following along to see how it goes. I’m 49 and have hip impingements on both sides. This surgery is my next option as my cartilage is still good and the doc wants...

    Mountain Goat in Montana Unlimited Sheep Areas

    Amazing stories and pictures. Those are the kind of hunts you can never forget. Wish you had a picture of your buddy dragging the cow down the highway!!! Best of luck with the goat drawing. I'm rooting for you so we can get a goat hunt story at 80 years of age!

    Mountain Goat in Montana Unlimited Sheep Areas

    Congrats on the ram! Way to get it done on a really tough hunt! I was lucky enough to draw a limited sheep tag in 2008 and I’ll never forget it. Cool critters. Way easier hunt than you had and I still spent 25 days searching for the right one. I’ll be reaching out if my time comes to chase...

    Mountain Goat in Montana Unlimited Sheep Areas

    Thanks for the info! I would have a really hard time skipping rifle opener, but could hunt a few days, take a break and head back in later in September for a long hunt. Early snows do worry me a bit in there. Now hopefully I draw in the next 5 years or so!!

    Mountain Goat in Montana Unlimited Sheep Areas

    I'm not getting any younger so I was planning to start applying for mountain goat districts with slightly better odds than where I usually apply. Looking at the districts around the park as 18 points gives me a chance at least. I have never participated in the unlimited sheep hunt, but have...

    Mid Term Election - Zinke vs D TBD

    Guess a 15 minute rule is needed for the primary just like gunbroker. Keep the slime from getting more slimy.

    7mm-08 with 1:11 Twist Rate

    It was a Sauer that was listed wrong apparently. After some digging it turned out to be a 1:9.5 I should have verified directly from the manufacturer and not trusted seller info. If anyone “needs” an inexpensive 6.5 creedmoor or PRC Eurooptic has them on sale for $399 and $449!!

    7mm-08 with 1:11 Twist Rate

    Thank for the info! Eurooptic has it listed as 1:11 which is what I was using since the seller didn’t have twist listed. After some digging it looks like Sauer has it listed as 1:9.5 which is much better!

    Haha! I was thinking they were having a hard time getting rid of the PRC! Not likely though since everyone seems to want one.

    Why don't they ever have screaming deals like that on the 7mm-08!!!

    7mm-08 with 1:11 Twist Rate

    I was planning on 120’s. Sounds like it may not be the gun for me. Was surprised to find out they were 1:11.

    7mm-08 with 1:11 Twist Rate

    Thanks for your thoughts! I was looking at the Sauers as they get great reviews and are much cheaper than Tikka.
