Yellowstone Elk
We work in Yellowstone from April 15 through October most years, and it's unbelievable the total lack of elk in the park now. Pretty damned disgusting! You see throngs of people salivating to see a wolf, and even have had some tell us breathlessly about an elk calf standing in the river with... -
MT Unit 314-00 Grizz??
I read a newspaper article from somewhere in Wyoming I think, where they were talking about conducting a study with grizzlies that they had gps tracking collars on. According to what they were saying, those bears were consistently following hunters during season. Most of the hunters were never... -
Moose from 2014 Finally back!
Sounds good. I'm ready for ice! I'm in Yellowstone waiting for these guys to finish their paving for the year so I can get it tested and go home. Unfortunately single digit temps and snow aren't optimum paving conditions!- sra61

Moose from 2014 Finally back!
I finally got my Moose and deer back from my 2014 Season. 3 1/2 years! I never thought I would see them again! The Taxidermist went out of business, and had a lot of personal issues. I just kept in touch and gently reminded him every few months and he finally came through. We had paid him up...- sra61

Bear bait?
We used to bait in the N. Fork Clearwater. We just used the cheapest dog food we could buy and had a local restaurant save us their old fryer grease. It was in a cube shaped plastic jug. We packed in with horses where we hunted so those things were easy to pack. We would dig a hole maybe a...- sra61

Calling in black bears in grizzly country?
I don't think I would do it up here in NW Montana or down around Yellowstone either. We did it in Idaho years ago and it worked good for blackies, if they were fairly close. We never had one come in blind calling. When they came they had food on their mind. They kind of threw caution to the...- sra61

Another Griz Attack over the weekend
Correct, no fear or panic. Just of eager beaver's looking to draw and quarter any Joe Blow unlucky enough to get too close to a griz, that has to defend himself. I had plenty of time and would have knocked his nether region in the dirt, but held off what could have easily been too long because...- sra61

Another Griz Attack over the weekend
We had one follow us in the last week of rifle season a couple of years ago down the Swan. We were in about 14" of snow and he made a bluff charge to about 10 yards and then went on past us. I wanted to shoot, but my brother who was closer than me said to hold off. He was right, but it was close...- sra61

Best place to live in WY MT ID?
I grew up in the Ozarks of Missouri. My family moved out here in 1983 I think. I would never go back, even though all of our family is there, and we miss them. When our Dad told us he had three job offers; one in Alaska, one in Montana, and one in Wyoming, I was all for everything but Montana. I...- sra61
