    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    I think the challenge is to steer the power that media outlets have toward more habitat conservation and restoration. It will never get the clicks of some snuff film featuring another bull soaking up bullets, but it is what matters. (BTW, habitat loss includes habitat security lost to too much...

    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    Ok. I'm biased. I've been in the media biz for 35 years and have taken checks from MeatEater and others. I've unintentionally burned my own spots! But overall, I think the reason we are seeing more crowding and more difficulty drawing tags is because of habitat loss. There's just less space to...

    Hunter dies after being stuck in the snow in Clarkia Idaho. Waiting for more details to trickle in.

    Hunter dies after being stuck in the snow in Clarkia Idaho. Waiting for more details to trickle in.

    One November when I was a kid, in the late 70s/early 80s, my dad and I found a snowed-in pickup truck in that part of unit 6. i want to say Windy Creek? We reported it. Turned out it was left by an elk hunter who was caught in a storm while packing out quarters. They found his body in the...

    Ruger American trigger

    I'm using a Ruger American in 30-06 this year. Overall, I'm impressed with its accuracy, for the money. At 100 yards i could cover three shots with my thumb, using factory loads. I'm not in love with the trigger, however. I haven't weighed it, but it feels a good bit heavier than I'm used to...

    BHA taps Ryan "Cal" Callahan as new President/CEO of BHA

    I served on the committees that hired BHA's two first directors. I've been in the non-profit world for 25 years. One thing I've learned is that being CEO of a non-profit is damned hard work. Not everyone is cut out for it and it's a steep learning curve for anyone. I think Cal has what it takes...

    I would keep trying. Maybe you'll get another snap of it. I can't say.

    Hunting and being hearing impaired

    Protect your hearing! Hunting while hearing impaired sucks. Trust me. It pretty much ended elk bugling and turkey gobbling for me -- it just got too frustrating. I've got very expensive hearing aids that help a bit, but it's not the same.

    I really like mine... so sorry it's not for sale.

    Knapp sport saw wanted

    Oh man. I'm as nostalgic as the next guy but those things would give you a hell of a nasty blister on your middle finger even on a deer, let alone an elk. But the little match case built into the handle was clever. I bet my dad still has his. The blade was curved because he wore it on his belt...

    Gear for Disabled Hunters - Extracting and processing big game

    Hmmm. I'm not in your situation but I imagine an electric winch of some kinds would be useful. They make some small portable models that might be the ticket. I'm not sure how much mobility you have but even an old-fashioned come-along might help. A plastic drag sled can make it easier to move a...

    Trail camera suggestions

    I have two Muddy's and one Browning and I like the Browning better. Better quality images. Muddys are cheap and have held up alright. The Browning has withstood blizzards. But I'm new to this and eager to hear others' opinions.

    Crowd sourcing: gumbo nightmare anecdotes

    By "seize up" you mean their wheels wouldn't turn or the engine locked up? Sounds nasty.

    Crowd sourcing: gumbo nightmare anecdotes

    Hey Montana hunters (residents or non). Would you do me a favor. Have you had any hair-raising or worse experiences trying to negotiate gumbo mud in central and eastern Montana? Tell me about it. (I'm not talking about New Orleans gumbo; I'm talking about the sloppy, sticky mud version). Thank you!

    Moon Phase vs Rut?

    The moon has nothing to do with it. I grew up being told the same thing, that game was active at night under a full moon. But decades of telemetry studies on ungulates have shown this not to be true. It is our projection based on how humans see the world, not how animals perceive it. Just...

    Land Grab Map-- Tell me a story

    Rumor has it that Mike Lee does not actually eat food but lives on dollar bills boiled in 40-weight motor oil. Please note I was not able to confirm this. Not saying it's true, it's just what I've heard from generally reliable sources.
