    Gallatin Canyon Wall Tent Homicide

    Poor Butte. Why did he have to be arrested there? And why does it seem like every ne'er-do-well drifter, some of whom are apparently psychotic killers, land there at some point? Any word on what the "unrelated charges" were on which he was arrested?

    Got one.

    Beat me to it! lol

    How many hunting rifles do you have?

    Same here. I kept all of my varied reloading dies just in case I replace those guns someday.

    Hit/lost bull

    Wow, that's a mystery. Volleyball sized splatters of blood for 200 yards should mean a dead elk pretty close by. I don't mean to insult your buddy's recollection of the event, but he's absolutely positively sure the elk he saw go up the steep hill is the same one he shot? Stranger things...

    Someone got lucky

    If I killed that thing and had it in the back of my truck, I'd probably stop as many times as possible on my way home, whether I lived an hour away or 2000 miles away. :ROFLMAO:

    Gun Case

    Are you flying out west or driving? Full disclosure, I have no experience with the Harbor Freight case. But I have made a number of cross-country driving trips with cased long guns (with no damage or incidents to any of them) and I doubt any of my cases are as nice as the Harbor Freight one...

    Last hike before empty nest

    Good stuff. My son is is a rising HS senior this year and will be heading to college next year (most likely Montana State, but we're keeping our options open), so my wife and I will be empty nesters (kind of). I think mom is probably going to struggle with that a bit more than I will. But...

    Access to public land lost due to hunters using semi-auto rifles

    Think how bad us slow readers must feel.

    But its not about the money

    Reading that article reminds me of Thomas Sowell's quote about how there are no "solutions," only "trade-offs." Wildlife habitat, property-owner rights, and affordable employee housing are all worthy, but sometimes incompatible, objectives. Something has to give.

    A new low recoil deer rifle

    I very much like the idea of shooting some of your buddies' guns to see what the recoils feel like. Everybody has a different definition of "low recoil." When I think of low-recoil deer rifles, the .243 and the 7mm-08 immediately come to mind, but neither are "no recoil."

    Heritage Arms 22 LR / 22 Mag

    I have one and have never had any issues at all with it. It meets or exceeds my expectations for a $119 gun. If I could only buy/own one pistol, this is not the one I'd choose. But since that is not my situation, I'm perfectly satisfied with it.

    How Much Do You Practice?

    I like this strategy. I shoot a decent amount all year with various guns (because it's fun). But starting about this time of year, my "practice" for hunting season mostly involves a lot of hiking with increasing amounts of weight in my backpack. Taking some shots while winded from exercise is...

    Over Crowding in Montana Archery Elk

    You just never know. Overcrowding, whatever that means, is one thing, but don't automatically assume that a few other hunters in the general area will mean you won't see any elk. They can pressure elk away from you, but they can just as easily pressure them to you. When doing your e-scouting...

    Need some advice from you backcountry elk slayers

    My elk-killing experience consists of exactly 2 cows (although both are in the last 2 years), so that makes me an expert. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Lots of good advice in this thread and it's interesting to see the divergence of opinion, so I don't think I add a lot of value when it comes to the two...
