    Get away from the keyboard and to the range challenge.

    Bill drills to the head for bear practice before I go up archery hunting next week.

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    10 year lifespan is the sad part of those calculations. 10 years old and 150,000 is just getting broken in… If I don’t get 250,000 out of my truck I’ll be disappointed. It’s a possibility I’ll have to go to a 3/4 ton at some point though. Of course that’s not factoring in the rust you guys have...

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    Who’s to say your nonresident friends at chick fil a were paying for hunting access near Billings? There’s more general tag national forest hunting within a 3 hour drive of Billings than I could hunt in a lifetime, and I grew up here hunting it. I killed my best bull on a day hunt from Billings...

    Budget trekking poles

    They keep dangling the carrot of over the counter with a 4473 and I keep waiting… Hopefully Montana will be on the list after the next legislative session.

    Budget trekking poles

    Whichever ones you get, they make damn good shooting sticks, especially in tall grass and sagebrush.

    Budget trekking poles

    I also think the Costco ones are completely fine. I need to get some to replace my old bent black diamonds. I don’t use them all the time, but they’re great for packing meat and they make very handy shooting sticks as well.

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Landlocked state land on the other side of that fence…

    Tikka deal

    B&C I had sitting around. Their Tikka stocks I like a lot more than their other ones.

    Tikka deal

    Paid a $40 difference after the rebate, trade for a snappy pistol I never liked, and a gift card to Scheels. Nice little mountain rifle in .270.

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    Anything that will kill an elk will kill a grizzly just fine. I’d rather have the Accubonds than the Barnes.

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    There’s nothing wrong with the 10mm, and I carry one often. Sometimes I carry a .44 too. Sometimes I carry a 9mm. In areas with a lot of grizzlies. They’ll all do the job.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    This year it finally changed and they’re not valid on national forest in region 5.

    Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement

    OTC B tags on public land are a huge issue in region 4 and 5. It’s been a night and day difference here since that started.

    Alps Mountaineering = No Customer Service

    I don’t know what’s so impressive about that, I did it once in an old Toyota T100 when the transfer case wouldn’t engage. With a couple running starts at it. With chains. Full throttle. Bouncing off a couple trees along the way…

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    I’d have no concerns at all with the right 9mm load. A .40 with Gold Dots will paper punch a big black bear skull, and the 9mm typically out-penetrates the .40 and .45.

    Thoughts on the best 1911 / 2011 in 10mm

    I’ll just call it manufactured in Constantinople to make myself feel better about it. Currently taking gofundme donations for a Les Baer.

    Misdemeanor charges filed against former FWP director, MOGA lobbyist, legislators

    Bird hunting on the Crow reservation is sketchy at best, which is why I’ve never messed with it. I might buy a tribal license for bears if they offered one and their local government wasn’t a dumpster fire. As it is now, that’s pretty much the only hunting there is on the reservation, except for...

    Thoughts on the best 1911 / 2011 in 10mm

    For a best bang for the buck 1911 my new favorite is this Tisas 9mm. I’ve been shooting the hell out of it with zero malfunctions right out of the box. Very accurate and easy to shoot. $450 including the replacement grips. Cerakoted and pretty much weatherproof and it might be my dedicated...

    Threading and chopping a barrel?

    I have very limited suppressor experience on bolt rifles, but 20” with a light over the barrel suppressor seems like a sweet spot for overall length while trying to preserve velocity. If I get my .308 threaded I’ll keep it to 20”. You would only add about 4” with the right setup.

    Tikka deal

    Yes… I think all of them are already 1-8, which is perfect for the 103-108 range. A .243 with a 103 ELDX would be a killer.
