    Gravelly Range Fires

    Glad to hear the fire turned for you, hopefully that will create a bit of back burn buffer and keep you safe. Evac for fire is scary, two summers ago we had MHP at the door recommending evacuation(not forcing at that point), trucks all loaded with the most important stuff, dogs leashed and...

    Yellowstone Vacation Questions? Need help!

    West Yellowstone is fully functional in September, plenty of motels, and not near the crowds of summer. I resupply my bow camp there in September every year, grab a room for a shower in the middle of the 16 day hunt, etc. fawn creek trail is a great little hike, and the bulls are thick and...

    Archery Mt 310hd

    I am a fan of the bear zones myself, just want to keep an eye on the Bacon Rind Fire just south of there, last I looked its up to 1400 acres or so, they have been just letting it burn since the 20th, if it makes a big run, that may change a lot of your plans. Current fire status...

    Montana archery. When to hunt?

    That's a tough one, would almost wait to hear what is going on if you have an in here and decide the week of the 10th myself. I always take the last two weeks of September here, 14 - 30 as the calendar falls this year. Seems to come in fits and bursts through there, and much depends on the...

    Thanks bear and killer. Didn't do any scouting with the 100 degree heat this past weekend. I did get all of the trucks, four wheeler, and trailers inspected and PM'd, don't want to be wasting any hunting time on broken equipment. Need to get shoes on the three geldings next, i don't do that as...

    Elk and rubs

    I too have been out quite a bit, and i am not seeing fresh sign in where older rubs are this year. My thinking is the amount of food available this year is letting them be about any where they want to be, same goes with water, there is more of everything than I have ever seen. Once the bulls...

    Elk move up in the morning and down in the evening?

    I have seen them move in many directions, it all depends on where the feeding area, water source, and bedding areas are.

    Kalispell, MT/Moving West

    As mentioned earlier, the online world and working remote are certainly options now with the tech we have. Another option is what my wife is currently doing, works in Alaska 4 weeks, then home for 2 weeks. Pays extremely well, and its a perfect fit job for education and back ground. This is...

    MT 380-20 Tag

    Spent Friday out scouting in 380, things are looking very good there, lots of lush meadow up high still, hiked into a string of high basins and meadows, looks to be about 10 miles round trip. A lot of elk up there right now, managed to watch 2 groups from afar, 3 good bulls in one of the...

    Broke down and upgraded my camo today, don't think all my old camo together cost as much as one Sitka jacket, let alone pants and a few base layers. Hopefully it lives up to what is advertised. 41 days until bow season......
