    Helle Knives

    I've had a Helle for several years. (It was the orignal premium for being a life member at BHA). I can't remember the model. The steel is great. The wood handle is very nice looking. Very sturdy knife. I ordered it online and when I received it I realized it was larger than i expected and really...

    WFS Winter pac boots size 12

    My dad, at 92, is downloading some of his hunting gear. He's no longer hunting the big snows of northern Idaho. So I am offering for sale his insulated pac boots. Size 12. 10 inch uppers. They have some miles, but many left. Air bob soles are still good, as he mostly worn in the snow. The...

    Ford Ranger or Nissan Frontier

    My old truck was a Ford F150. It was great but got totaled when a college kid slammed into me on an icy road. Never had a Ranger. I do have a 2016 Frontier. I bought it in 2017 from a guy who fixed it up. It was a rental car and had been in a fender-bender and the rental company dumped it...

    Quickest Hunt

    One November Saturday I woke up early to see an owl perched on the power pole next to house, hunting for mice or skunks or housecats I guess. "Good omen," I thought, and got dressed. Drove 30 minutes through thick fog. I hiked a little ways by headlamp and hunkered against the rootwad of a...

    Very well fed tom. Same den the skunk and bobcat had been using a few weeks before. The datestamp is wrong.

    Amazing variety of animals use the den besides the skunk. Bobcat for example.

    I don't think the skunk thought much of my camera.

    Wolf Toleration

    Well there's a good question. I guess I don't see hunting as a competition against nature as much as an opportunity to engage with it. I want to experience all of it, not just parts. I have enormous respect for an animal that is smaller than me, yet can pull down a bull elk with its teeth. I...

    Wolf Toleration

    I think this is a good example of how the loudest voices on the ends of the political spectrum can distort the entire discussion. Wolves are here. Wolves need to be managed. I like having them around, like I like having lions and bears around. The place is a bit dull without them. But I do get...

    A deer diet question

    Deer are primarily browsers, not grazers, and most of the time will take a shrub over grass when given the choice, IME. Elk are about the opposite. Where I live, the whitetails love to mow down young cottonwoods, almost as much as the beavers do. Here in NW MT they depend on fir needles and...

    .270 or 30-06?

    30-06. IMO 270 is on the light side for elk and larger game. It can be done, it has been done, but I like the penetration that comes with a heavier slug.

    How far do you stay upwind of elk?

    I mean, I have smelled a herd of elk a half a mile away when the wind and humidity has been just right. I have no doubt an elk can smell me at a far greater distance. I think it's hard for us to even imagine how an elk perceives the world via scent. I think people emit a particular chemical...

    Help my inner Jeremiah Johnson... just got a new muzzleloader

    Great idea about the club. I'll check in on that. I'm sure there is something. I have not settled on a load yet, in terms of powder load. I am using 54 caliber lead balls. At least for now.

    New stock for an old shotgun?

    New stock for an old shotgun?

    My dad has a break action single barrel 16 gauge that he still uses to hunt grouse and turkeys. I think it is 75 years old. (He is 91). Maybe its a Stevens or Sears or something. Still works. Very simple, serviceable gun. The stock, well, shows its age. I'm thinking of having it restocked if I...
