    WTS Vortex Razor UHD 10x42 Binocular (newer model RZB-1042)

    Hey folks! Selling my used Vortex Razor UHDs for $1500. This is the newest mode, RZB-1042, MSRP is $2600 but they go for around $1800 new on eBay. I upgraded to a different brand, but there is nothing wrong with these. Glass is unblemished, and they're in great shape. It's a great binocular...

    How Far is Too Far? Wyoming Legislature Mulls Shot Distance Restrictions

    Curious to hear the thoughts and opinions here. My two cents: a 'fair chase' regulation around shot distances could be an effective measure that encourages better shots and decisions in the field. The challenge would be the balance around not over-regulating whatever the details would be, and...

    Hey folks, selling a brand new Kifaru Stryker XL. I bought it for a specific trip and it was too small to use - missed the Kifaru 30 day return window. $325 MSRP.

    Hey folks, have a buddy looking to drop a deer off with a taxidermist in the Salmon, Idaho area. The only one I knew of went out of business. Anyone in the area - give or take a couple hours of driving - currently working? Thanks!

    Long shot - wondering if anyone can identify this Painting / Artist? (SOLVED)

    Ran across these paintings in a hospital lobby here in Montana, but can't find them online, and not sure what this artist signature says. Hospital staff had no idea. Thanks! Nevermind, just found it on another source! It's 'A New Day' by Roy Kerswill

    Grizzly Bear Deterrents while Backpack Camping (increased safety while sleeping)

    Hey folks! Experienced backpack hunter here in Montana and Idaho, often in pretty serious Griz country. I don't plan on not doing this any time soon, but every dang year there seem to be more and more serious Griz incidents in or near my hunting areas. In the last ten years my hunting crew has...

    My arrow just hit a TWIG en route to the deer of a lifetime

    I couldn’t exaggerate if I wanted to. I check my shooting lanes. A 180” whitetail we’ve been hunting stepped out at 45yds. My arrow hit a twig that hid behind my sight. The ONLY twig. I’ve never even seen a deer this big. I’ve never felt this level of devastation and despair. I’m moving to...

    Legendary Day in Idaho

    So there I was, looking for Mule Deer in Idaho's high country. Solo, public land. Good morning so far, no bucks around yet, but I did see a few does, and a big bull Elk. The morning goes on and a Coyote makes an appearance. I had never killed a Coyote before, or even tried to. After watching...

    Taxidermist Nightmare - need serious advice

    Shot a bear in fall of 2019 and dropped it off to a local taxidermist that was well recommended at the time. Many people on this site know who he is, but I’m not going to disclose that information publicly. For the first two years he said he was way behind, but the hide was fine. For the last...

    Poll: Rifle Caliber for Western Hunting

    Hey everyone. Interested in Hunttalk's preference here. Some context for your vote: I live in Montana and hunt everything from Pronghorn to Elk. I like the accuracy and kinetic energy retention of the PRC, but I like the 200gr bullet option for the WSM (~147gr for the PRC). I have extensive...

    Looking for pack-out services in western Montana

    Hey folks. Hunting plans are expanding to bigger and tougher country every year. We shot and packed a cow out of one of our spots last fall, and even that was pretty brutal. As we go deeper, we want to explore our options for hiring outfitters/packers to come get our animals. We do not need...

    Somewhere Global Hotspot device (vs Garmin inReach or Soleo)

    Hey folks - has anyone used this? https://www.somewearlabs.com/global-hotspot I had never heard of it until Ryan Callaghan recently talked about using it this year while hunting. We have both a full size inReach and a mini. Both work fine, but the full size is a little clunky, and the mini...

    Some Off-season Photography in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons

    Took advantage of my involuntary downtime in June and hit the parks hard to look for critters and take some photos. I went for almost ten days right as the parks opened in June, and just slept in my truck, as most campgrounds and all lodges were still closed. It was incredible! I usually hit the...
