    What is the wait time going to be for suppressor approval starting 1/1/2026?

    I thoroughly agree with your response. The only reason I even mentioned the property situation is that I’m in SD and Idaho quite frequently so it wouldn’t be a special trip for me. I’m in Idaho as I type this and will see what I can find out. Most likely- it’ll depend on who you talk to as I’m...

    What is the wait time going to be for suppressor approval starting 1/1/2026?

    Big Sky Guy: First of all THANK YOU for your updates, opinions and trying to shine some light on something that is clear as mud. Question for you: I am a resident of Montana but I own property in Idaho and South Dakota. Can I go into an Idaho or SD shop and circumvent the Montana regulations...

    Petition to mandate hunters to carry bear spray in Montana.

    That’s when we had to resort to Ripple wine. Was at a wedding reception in a small town in Minn. a while back - they had Grain Belt on tap. So much for ignorant bear(beer) spray proposals.

    Petition to mandate hunters to carry bear spray in Montana.

    So much for nostalgia boys. Now that Hamm’s is back and readily available nothing can compare. Not even hard on the pocketbook in today’s inflationary times - $5.99 for a 6 pack of tall boys. Land Of Sky Blue Waters 🤓

    Petition to mandate hunters to carry bear spray in Montana.

    California is trying to get bear spray banned as illegal in national parks - who says there’s a difference in politics. 🤓🤣

    Petition to mandate hunters to carry bear spray in Montana.

    You just can’t fix stupid. The way this reads, some trapper or hunter in SE corner of the State would have to pack bear spray to be following the letter of the law. Lots of bears over there 🤓

    Hearing Aid Use

    It’s like being born with one leg shorter than the other - you can’t make it back to normal but there are options to mitigate the symptoms.

    Hearing Aid Use

    Hearing aids are a very sore subject for me right now. Been wearing them for 40+ years. I lost one last Nov. on a hunting trip - long story but a rope brushed my ear and hearing aid went into a fast moving creek while crossing. I’m now on my 4th pair since that incident from different places...

    Antler Point Restrictions

    I’ve hunted out of a pack in camp that was one of the first to implement brow tine requirements on elk. At first I thought it was a good idea, twenty years later it would take 2 elk to total a 330 count. My non biological background now tells me all inferior genetics are passing their gene’s on.

    Another FWP shakeup

    FWP shakeup - what we really need in Montana is a “complete” legislative shakeup - and we can start with our governor.

    No more brick and mortar license sales?

    I’d guess that time will come sooner, rather than later than you think.

    So which caliber, in what rifle ? The 6.5 Creed, the 6.5x55 Swede, or the .257 Roberts

    I giggle at these never ending debates on what caliber is better or best. After being the nut behind the bolt on hundreds of various kills (gophers up to bear and moose) watching clients with varying talents and equipment, here is my opinion based on all these experiences. I ain’t seen one...

    Powder scale rcbs balance beam bad?

    In my experience it could very well be the pivot point is very slightly worn at the pivot. It’s been quite a few years ago but I’ve had 2 beam scales rebuilt and recalibrated. One is an Ohaus triple beam that measures in grains. Probably bought it in the 70’s. My memory says the guy I dealt with...

    Powder scale rcbs balance beam bad?

    Take a penny, nickel, dime and quarters to a fancy jewelry store and have them weigh them on their scales they use for diamonds. Right down the weights, put coins in a pill bottle with the written weights and never use them again except for calibration. You can’t get more accurate and you can...

    Annealing question

    I believe the answer to that is no one knows the ‘perfect’ number. Standard internet answer is every 3-4 reloads. We can guess but that is a swag. It depends on the chamber and throat of your rifle in comparison with your reloaded ammunition along with quality of brass I load for multiple...
