    Buy a new 44 Magnum (Which would you buy?)

    Smith 629 4” for a carry gun.

    Rear locker decisions..

    I’m curious what gear ratio it had? My pickup has 4.30, and I’ve used and liked a few 4.10 Chevy 2500s. Makes a big difference. If I had to replace mine that’s one thing I wouldn’t want to compromise on. Lots of the newer half tons are geared way too high.

    Gratuitous Fish and River Photos

    I’ve been enjoying messing around with it. A big rainbow is a hell of a lot of fun on a 7 foot ultra light rod.

    Gratuitous Fish and River Photos

    I fished midges today too, but there’s a few spots that I just can’t resist swinging a spoon through… Did see some March browns coming off, next time I’m bringing the 3wt and dries.

    What calibre/rifle combination would be suitable for taking a T-REX.

    .223 with 77 TMK obviously.

    Montana steelheading.

    Rear locker decisions..

    If it were me I’d try to find a basic one with the factory locker and add better aftermarket shocks and real skid plates.

    Hunting Rifle Triggers

    Safety engagement was often sticky in the cold, and the entire trigger seized up and wouldn’t function once until I hit it with some penetrating oil and let it sit for a few days. That may have been a windy Wyoming dust/dirt issue as much as the cold.

    Hunting Rifle Triggers

    My Winchester .270 has a Timney that I really like, and I love the Sako/Tikka trigger as well. All set to approximately 2.5 pounds. Both have been very reliable in the cold and snow. I used to have a Triggertech on a 700 that felt great but was a little finicky in bad conditions.

    A good day for spoons and the first browns of the new license year in Montana.

    Lever Monday...post em up

    Winchester 1892 short rifle in .44 Rem Mag. Surprisingly accurate with irons at 100 yards and feeds 240 hard casts like butter. It’s going to see some whitetail and bear action.

    Tundra or Another F-150

    Find a used 2nd/2.5 gen basic SR5 with the 5.7 V8 and 4.30 gears for simplicity and reliability. My dad’s new twin turbos makes a lot of power, but I’d take my older 5.7 every time.

    Is your mall crawler ready to go?

    I went steel, my pickup takes a pretty good beating. It’s heavy, but solid.

    Is your mall crawler ready to go?

    Much better than the beer can skid plate that didn’t fare too well on rocks and washed out cattle guards.

    Boat Buying Season?

    That Ranger will sure cut through the waves on the big water in style. I always thought I’d get a Lund with a Yamaha if I found myself in the boat buying tax bracket. New Raptor to pull it with in the future?

    No more brick and mortar license sales?

    I might have to find some write in the rain paper and do that. I don’t trust the e tags and I’ve just been half ass laminating printer paper tags for the last few years.

    No more brick and mortar license sales?

    Things started going to hell when we stopped printing tags on the green/yellow waterproof paper. Love the feeling of a fresh sportsman with bear combo in my pocket.

    Youth elk rifle?

    In that case I’d likely go with the new Ruger Americans. A little rough around the edges, but great shooting rifles. Suppressed 7-08 would be a killer and easy on the shoulder.

    US and Israel attack Iran

    I just got off work and I’m putting a new skid plate on my pickup and changing the diff gear oil. Probably go catch some spring run rainbows later this week.

    Youth elk rifle?

    Love those model 7s, especially in .243.
