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...
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.
These are DIY meat bars that copy a certain commercial snack. They are delicious, healthy, fairly easy to make, and require no refrigeration! Photos below.
Ingredients:
3lbs wild game burger (I used 50/50 venison and antelope this time around)
8oz uncured bacon - diced
1 cup dried cranberries -...
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!
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
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Hey folks. I am making a dedicated offer for a Wolf (or two) this winter. Cabin rental in NW Montana for 4-5 days. I know the area well, and have been close to killing a Wolf a couple of times before.
My question for you guys - is there an ideal time period you would look to book from January 1...
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...
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...
They are running a sale right now, and I am looking at this safe: https://rhinosafe.com/kodiak-kb5529ecs-55h-x-29w-x-20d-30-long-gun-30-min/
Thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
From FWP:
Nonresident spring turkey and black bear hunting suspended
Following the extension of Montana Gov. Steve Bullock’s directive that out of state travelers must quarantine for 14 days, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks director Martha Williams has suspended nonresident hunting seasons for...
I think it's a tad early yet, but I am going to take a poke this weekend. We have had a good amount of moisture and almost the right temps here in western MT. Anyone have any luck yet?
Been trying some country adjacent to the park, no luck yet. Taking another crack this weekend. Would appreciate any hot tips and I am happy to share info. Feel free to PM.
