    Dog Broke Leg 7 Miles In

    Title pretty much sums it up. Thankfully it was our smallest of the three poodles we have (26 lbs). Just something for those of you with dogs to think about. I never really gave it much thought. It happened in about the worst possible place, halfway through a 1.5 mile long field of boulders...

    Mysterious Tent Shanking

    My wife went out today on some USFS land to walk our dogs and found these tents collapsed. Upon investigation these were shanked numerous times. Prly go back with her and pick them up to toss in garbage. This is a spot just off the road that you drive to and vehicle camp so not like they had...

    Recreation.gov Fees

    While I don’t agree that the site and Apps usability is as bad as the author makes it sound (I actually find it good), I had no idea the processing fee was not going to the land management agency where I book but rather a private contractor. Up until now my frugality was all that frustrated me...

    Any SmartCap Owners?

    Anyone running a SmartCap on their hunting rigs care to share their thoughts? Seems like people either love them or hate them. Found a used one thinking of picking up for similar cost to new fiberglass.

    Fish Funnel Reviews/Experience?

    Anyone ever use one of these? My wife found this and seems like it would be a game changer for meat processing. Specifically for packaging our ground meat as we put that into the quart size vacuum seal bags and always seems to be a slow point with using an ice cream scooper. Made by Alaska...

    Custom Sako 85 7 PRC

    Thanks to all of you on here posting your custom or semi-custom rigs I was inspired over a year ago to set out on what has become quite the course. I own a Sako 85 Finnlight in 6.5cm, by far the best rifle I’ve ever owned. I have now spent enough time around centerfire rifles and carried them...

    Montana Resident MSG Free Lottery

    Maybe this has already been discussed and I missed it but couldn’t find anything in the search. Just curious what the goal of this is? To get everyone to buy their licenses sooner? #opportunity?

    Canyon Ferry Bozeman Water Pipeline

    Thoughts? I live in Townsend so naturally immediately against it. https://www.kbzk.com/news/local-news/canyon-ferry-pipeline-could-help-gallatin-valley-water-supply-officials-say

    Gear Room - Let’s see yours

    Anyone have a great, organized gear room? We’ve been using a shelving unit and hanging packs on wall hooks I installed but I’ve seen a couple ideas that I think may work better. Ours looks nice 10% of the time when it’s all put away but the bins are jammed full so when I need something it all...

    Elk Blood

    Too bad no one told them about Tiger’s Blood and the real Kill Cliff. Am I right or am I right @JT88 ?

    The Men Who Built America: Frontiersmen

    Been sick all week. Just stumbled onto this on Hulu. Only on episode 2, but the way the stars aligned for our nation to come together is certainly a series incredibly unlikely circumstances. I never took much into history, only was required one semester in college and oddly what little...

    Feathered Friends Volant Puffy Pants and Jacket

    Anyone have either the pants or the jacket? Seems like the warmest I could find without going custom through GooseFeetGear etc. Jacket has 11 oz of 900 fill and weighs 1 lb. 10 oz Pants have 5.6 oz of 900 and weigh 1 lb. 1 oz. I’ve heard they make warm sleeping bags but haven’t heard much...

    White-tail Ultimate Slam?

    Is it possible to hunt every (possible) state in the U.S. for white-tail in one season? If so has anyone tried/done it or know anyone who has? The internet tells me a person can hunt the species in 44 states (45 if you count Arizona). Seems more feasible to try one state per year over the...

    Hunting Regulation Misunderstandings

    The other evening I was talking with a gentleman that is primarily a (what I would consider avid, but without a dog) waterfowl hunter. As the conversation continued he mentioned how he hasn’t hunted pheasants here (Montana) yet because of the requirement that you have to use a 20 gauge and he...

    How Long Meat in Freezer

    I’m thought this has been discussed at least in part but I couldn’t find the threads anywhere. My question is what is the oldest frozen meat you would make (or have made) Jerkey from? Meat is frozen and vacuum sealed with 3 mil bags in muscle groups. I thought I’d seen it discussed on here as...

    Trail Camera Missing

    I’ve been using trail cameras on public land sparingly here in Montana for several years. I accept the risk and was honestly surprised it took over 3 years to have my first camera stolen. I’ve had people mess with them in the past and I always took that as a sign to take it down and move on...

    Armslist Pay to Play Now

    What’s up with having to pay a monthly subscription for Armslist now in order to contact seller? Is there any other sites stepping up to fill their void?

    Same Buck or Different?

    Do you think the buck in these trail camera pics is the same buck that I harvested? I know the trail cam pics aren’t the best, but I am thinking they are the same buck?

    Urinating Question

    When you are hunting whitetail in a tree stand where do you urinate? Do you pee in a bottle or just over the side? My dad taught me to pee in a bottle so the deer wouldn’t smell it but after moving out west and hunting there the past 5 years I haven’t had to worry about it. I’ve been hunting...

    How cold is too cold?

    I was hoping to have a hot tent from Springbar for the Montana rifle opener Oct. 24 but it looks like they won’t have any in stock. Planning on a 4ish night hunt Friday through Monday night. How cold is too cold to stay in a 3-season tent (Kelty Salida 2) and a 20 degree bag? Looks like lows...
