    Anyone getting swift fox UP north MT

    Just wondering how they're doing up there. One day, I'm going to find out for myself. It's only 10 for the quota, I think.

    We just can't pass up a cheap savage, this one is a Stevens 300 Win Mag (savage 110)

    We have a thing: anytime we run across a savage for under $200, we get it for a doner. This one is a 300 Win Mag. We just rebarreled a 6.5 Creed to a 358 Win. Today, we finished the break-in, with 250 gr Speer, we got 2350, and all 1" or better, not bad. I plan to shoot 220 Hammers. The boy did...

    Spending the night with Gaints

    The Budweiser Clydesdales are in town for a week. I was able to land two overnight shifts, keeping them in line. Well, more like watching them as they slept. Damn, are they big, all at least 6' tall at the shoulders, and two were almost 2800 pounds. There are 10 of them; it takes 8 to pull the...

    Camping/ hunting / How I do it

    Well, it's almost time to hit the road, AKA Hunting season. First off, where/how to sleep. Sometimes I just sleep in my cab I also have an inflatable topper that I use a lot. It only weighs 80 pounds and inflates in minutes. But when I want to bring my 4wheeler, I have to take it off...

    UPS is telling me today should be the day... New Shaw barrel.

    UPS says my Shaw replacement barrel is coming. Three months to the day, almost, that's what they claim it will take. 358 win 1x12 twist threaded mussel and 4 straight flutes blued small shank, savage magnum taper 22" long. It's like waiting for Santa on Christmas night. Although I won't be...

    I got out to do a fast calling trip

    I went calling today. 2 sets first one was at Carter. I had 2 come in from different directions, they were about to tangle, I took a shot 235 yards, missed. I left the caller on Kiyi as I picked up my stuff. I looked up and had one looking at my decoy. I set back up to shoot, 249 yards, I laid...

    358 winchester

    OK, here's the question. I just picked up an older 6.5 Creedmoor Savage Axis. It has a Nikko scope and sling. I got it for a fair price. I have no use for another 6.5 anything, so I'm planning to rebarrel it. I think a 25 needmore would fill a niche, but dies and barrels are not really caught...

    One month to spring Where's the gophers?

    YUP only a month away. Almost every year around the first of the year we start to see a few gophers sticking their heads out of the snow. And, at the end of February, We can see quite a few Out on the calm sunny days, even when the snow is on the ground. Mostly in town gophers, the "country"...

    What is your take on the new 7mm Backcountry?

    I think it sounds very interesting. But it may be too soon to make a good decision about it.

    I'm feeling a little pushed out up here in MT.

    I know the Information is from 2022 but Its upward trend is evident. WOW! I knew I saw a LOT of nonresident license plates this year hunting. What to do about it? I'm not going to be a Scrooge and say NO nonresidents. But what I'm seeing is they all seem to be concentrated on the BIG block...

    Granddaughter's first antelope tag

    Well dang the not-so-little GD( 15 now) got her first antelope tag. YA! In fact, we all did but it's not our first rodeo. She has taken deer out as far as 240 ish yards. But antelope are very different, no trees or anything to judge distance, or any perspective at all. I made a target, I will...

    6.5 STW vs 6.5 Weatherby

    There can't be much difference. Both use a full-sized 375 H&H brass, like the 8mm rem mag. Would it be as simple as using some of my 8mm brass and necking down to make an STW? Of course, I'd have to find a doner and get a barrel.

    September 1st Montana upland opening, who, what, where?

    It kinda relates to the weather, I guess. It looks like the fire restrictions are slowly being dropped. We would love to take a road trip to someplace in the brakes, but like I said the weather thing. We could do Sharptail close by but that usually takes a LOT of walking, no dog so it's twice...

    Maybe a way to spend my "Easy money" question

    OK let's start with "easy Money" I've been supplementing my extracurricular budget By working security work for a big security company. I do some fill-in work for the full-timers. But mostly I do "Extra" events. 90% is overnight stuff. Like when a business's fire suppuration system goes down I...

    Dang, I think that's "close enough" for coyotes.

    I misted a coyote last trip out, that I thought I should have hit. I had some free time and the wind was light, so I slipped up to the range. It was 90* light swirly winds mostly west and to the east so I was not surprised at the results. I drove down to the backer boards and stapled 3 targets...

    No Way!

    One of our 3 ferries that cross the Missouri River. One is in Carter, Virgille ( coal banks landing), and McClelland/Stafford Ferry. We went across the Virgille one, Sunday fishing it cuts off 100 miles ish. Anyway, there are very few people that cross this time of year, harvest and hunting...

    Montana shed hunters Be advised.

    This is new. The Sunriver Game range and the rest of them I guess, require a conservation/fishing license to access the land even to shed hunt. I was just there, as well as the Willow Creek boat ramp. It is replacing the "State use permit". Check it out all the fwp access areas require it as...

    Red lights green lights will they mix and turn yellow and spook pigs?

    OK, I'm going on a pig hunt in Feb and would like opinions. The pig feeders are continuously lit with green lights. We all have red lights on our rifles. Red and green light makes yellow light. Will it spook the pigs if we turn on our red shooting lights?

    OH my aching rotator cuffs

    On opening day of duck season, my brother-in-law packed in about a mile and a half pulling a two-wheel wheelbarrow full of decoys and ammo and maybe lunch too. We each pulled the barrow through tall weeds and mud, and each had a handle trading sides to rest the other arm. I had no idea I was...
