    Elk camp 25

    Great stories. Congrats to your son on the Gatekeeper bull! A mount like that is far more interesting than "just another" big bull. Also, I need to find me a buddy who can pack out a front shoulder, rear quarter, and head in one trip! :ROFLMAO: I'd definitely have his phone number saved on...

    SC Public Land Archery Buck

    Congrats, brother! I agree that's a nice public land buck for SC. As you pointed out, I used to tell folks that what SC lacks in quality deer, it certainly makes up for in quantity. As much as I love hunting out here in Montana, I do sometimes miss the ability to hunt deer on relatively small...

    What are you currently reading?

    I just finished The Little Liar, by Mitch Albom. What a great little powerful novel. He could have easily written the story as an 800-page epic, but he managed to pack much the same punch into 330 pages. You can read it in a weekend (or less).

    Used My General Tag on a Cow Yesterday

    I had a buddy who was able to meet me within an hour. He's about half my age and twice as strong, but there was no way we were going to be able to pull her out of that creek once her hide got waterlogged. Not with out mechanized equipment anyway. We employed the gutless quartering method to...

    Let’s talk about your shot process…

    I'm also only a few years into my archery hobby and started with hay bales. Eventually, I built a gallows and hung one of those heavy rubber stall mats like you can find at Tractor Supply or similar stores. Since the backstop hangs, you have the added advantage of being able to hang it from a...

    This. I have the Quietkat Ranger 7.5 with the one-wheel trailer. I bought it used with jut 21 miles on it from a guy who bought it for hunting but said it "didn't work" for the way he hunts. I think that is probably often the case because folks buy them without really understanding the...

    Used My General Tag on a Cow Yesterday

    . . . And I wasn't even hunting for elk. It was pretty warm this weekend, so for the third archery opener in a row, I decided not to venture into the backcountry to hunt elk and instead stayed close to town to hunt for deer in the creek bottoms. My plan was to take a couple of days off work...

    First pair of binoculars recommendation?

    Since I'm the guy that mentioned Costco, I feel compelled to point out that's not what I said. I never criticized Euro glass at all. I merely mentioned it as a cheap option until the OP gets to Wyoming, actually goes out with his hunting partners, and figures out what he wants. The dude isn't...

    Cold Hunt, Need Help With My Layers

    I'm pretty cold-natured myself. +1 on the heated vest (with heating elements in the neck). Like @Robert N said above, they were a game-changing discovery for motorcycle riding in cold weather and can be effective for hunting as long as you have a power source to charge them. The key is to get...

    2025 college football 🏈

    Oh, to be clear, I'm not rooting for or against him either. I have nothing against Belichick - except that he happens to coach at UNC. lol

    2025 college football 🏈

    I loved everything about last night's game except the fact that TCU didn't score about 4-5 more TDs. :ROFLMAO:

    First pair of binoculars recommendation?

    Are you set for all your other western hunting gear? I know you said you are moving to WY, but does that mean you are moving to where you've always dreamt of hunting, or does it mean you are finally moving to a part of the country you have already experienced as a hunter? I ask that because a...

    2025 college football 🏈

    I'm not sure what the fanbase's loss threshold is, but if Bama hits it this year, they will mortgage everything they own to get rid of him - especially if another hot coach emerges. Alabama fans are not tolerant of losing, but they absolutely will not stand for getting embarrassed. There's a...

    Just GOTTA check again, and again,and again

    I'm thinking not. If I'm understanding FWP's reasoning in making the tags only available to the successful applicants, it's to increase the taking of ewes in the district without increasing the overall number of hunters in the field. Maybe? Otherwise, you'd think they would make the draw only...

    Anyone Want to Talk About Lonesome Dove (Book)?

    I read Lonesome Dove when I was in college and think it is probably the best novel I have ever read. It may be perfect - I can't think of anything I would change about it. The mini-series has long been one of my favorites, and is probably one of the best things every produced on network TV...

    Montana State Move In - Job Ideas?

    It is still standing, although I noticed a number of the concrete columns on the front portico had a lot of visible rebar at the bottom! Hopefully, MSU's engineers have given it a good once-over review. If my grandkids go to MSU, I doubt Roskie will still be around.

    Montana State Move In - Job Ideas?

    We moved my son (freshman) into Roskie Hall yesterday. It was an all-day affair that left my wife and I exhausted, but the worst part, hands down, was an ill-advised trip to the Bozeman Walmart and Target in the middle of the day. I think everybody was there. Literally, everybody.

    2025 college football 🏈

    I moved my son into the freshman dorms at Montana State yesterday, so I guess I'm now officially taking sides in the Cats/Griz rivalry after never previously having a dog in that fight. Likewise, I'll be hoping the Jackrabbits run into a buzz-saw in Bozeman in week two! ;) But with Tommy...

    2025 college football 🏈

    Well, you can probably guess who I'm pulling for. If I were a betting man, it's probably between Texas and UGA again, but I'm hoping the Gamecocks will be in the mix.

    Just GOTTA check again, and again,and again

    lol. Unlikely. I doubt these sell-out. Got the email today telling me I had qualified to purchase up to (2) ewe/fawn tags. I ran by the hardware store on the way home from work and picked up one for $14 (I don't want to get greedy).
