    Helping my Father-In-Law and my Father hunt Elk.

    Rent horses and take the plunge. At $500 for 2 weeks you will get access to as far back as you want to go. In Mt look up Big Sky Horses out of Townsen.

    Suggestions on drop camp outfitters in the bob

    If you want to spend money on a nice trail ride, go to the Bob! If you want to see elk stay the hell out of the Bob. Look at success rates and you will see that they are nonexistent. The Bob was world class 20 years ago. Between wolves and lack of vegetation, the elk numbers are minimal...

    First year elk calling

    When calling, i simply keep it I’m my mouth/teeth. Knowing that I want to move at a slow pace, the Reel Call works great. If you are hunting in wolf country, elk won’t respond to bugles, cow calling works the best.

    First year elk calling

    https://www.reelgamecalls.com/ These calls are error free. Start with one of these and then advance to a reed call if you want, or just be satisfied with what works! Basics of calling. Call 2 times Waite 5 then move. Think of it as ringing a door bell. 1st ring gets their attention, 2nd...

    Bozeman & surrounds - Things to do

    Hunting Gear

    Boots are going to be your #1 item. I own Kenetreks and Danner. The Kenetreks are a great boot for side hilling and all around mountain boot. Understand that when they say it may take 50-70 miles to break them in, this is a low estimate. I use the Danner Vital for my standard walking boot...

    Rangefinder Scopes

    Swarovski has a new dS Scope 5x25 x 52, complete digital adjustment based on synced up data. For the low low cost of $4,495. It won’t take long for states to outlaw these. When you can’t use Luma Nocks in MT for fear of giving too much advantage to the hunter, these will be outlawed in no time.
