Eat breakfast at McGils, eat pizza at the Stash. Hike up Oh-Be-Joyful. If you’ve got binos and a spotter and want to go see elk and deer send me a PM and I’ll send you some spots.
Don’t know if this is the best way, but I did it once on a mule deer my daughter shot a couple years ago and it worked. Spray it down with 90% rubbing alcohol, wrap it in gauze and keep the gauze as saturated as possible. When you get home take off the gauze and coat it in borax, the more...
So four years into this thread, would I be accurate to summarize by saying the Residents of Montana can neither manage their Mule Deer nor their invited Non - Resident guests? I have no interest in hunting Montana at present (probably from dropping in on this thread over the years) but it seems...
I hunted mule deer on the Cibolo Creek ranch between Marfa and Presidio in the Chinati Mountains about 20 years ago, they had Carmen Mtn whitetails also. Saw several of them, one that was big enough the ranch foreman was super excited - kind of looked like a little Hill Country whitetail but a...
Three western hunts lined up:

Third rifle CO elk hunt with my Dad
Late Season Cow Hunt in CO late December with my son

Why is that hard to believe? 12-17 year olds are eligible for the “kids” tags, 14-17 year olds do just fine in the mountains and shooting a muzzleloader or a bow is no big trick, just takes a little practice.
My daughter at 16 on a secondary draw muzzleloader hunt:
The “focus on hunting for meat” sounds good, I have some of that sentiment myself. But there isn’t enough wildlife to feed very many people as a % in the country. There is a very, very small contingent that actually “hunts to feed their family”, and anyone on this forum that hunts out of...
Things can get sideways when killing an animal, and this was handled poorly. Beyond stupid for them to have the video made public. When things go wrong, delete the video...that’s the #1 rule of the internet age. Buzz is being overly diplomatic with just a “clown” rating on this one.
It’s almost like the federal government should stop reckless spending, and dare I say, be more efficient. At the very least have the balls to fund annual spending/benefits. Shouldn’t be that hard; figure out income, make a budget.
If income and spending budget don’t align, make an...
Yes, two things eradicated and came back to us from across the border. I guess open borders aren’t good for people or flys. Although, the screw worm issue isn’t exacerbated by a bunch of anti-vaxxers. Still, only 6 official cases so far; the one in NM the dog was in Mexico last week...
