    Help me choose a 22-250

    I'm looking at this cartridge for a solid range and varmint rifle. I probably won't be able to break the bank (<$1000), so I'm considering affordable, out-of-the-box shooter. Threaded barrel would be a plus. Lot's of options fit these criteria: the Howa 1500, Remington 700, CVA Cascade, etc...

    Would you eat a CWD-positive animal?

    Just curious what others have done. I recently started submitting my animals for CWD testing. Who knows, maybe I've consumed a CWD-positive animal before but never knew. Ignorance is bliss, I guess? My MT whitetail test result is pending as "Suspect": "Suspect/Positive: Your animal receives a...

    I never tire of seeing a good thunderstorm and the clouds they bring. Share your best.

    Cicadas

    I keep reading articles about this dual brood emergence coming up. It all sounds pretty crazy to me. I used to live in Nebraska/Kansas as a kid, and I still remember the seasonal cicadas - but this just sounds outright preposterous. Does anyone have much experience with these periodical cicadas...

    Non-Game Species Encountered in the Field

    What is the most unique/memorable non-game species you've encountered while hunting? While on a recent black bear hunt, I was hiking slowly through a canyon under a dense canopy of Doug Fir and Lodgepole Pine when I encountered a Great Gray Owl - a first for me. I watched it for about 10...

    Home Heating Questions

    Well I just got our December NG/electric bill from NW Energy, and all I can say is "ouch." Sure, it was a cold month, and sure, I do live in an old home that most likely has crappy insulation and one insanely inefficient gas stove. But energy bills like this definitely hurt financially. I've...

    Lessons from hunting a ranch

    My favorite part of being a member of HT is reading others' trip reports - successful or otherwise. Nothing beats a good hunting story, and some members on this forum ought to be published for the quality of their writeups (anyone want to edit and publish a book..?). I can't say I've contributed...

    Public lands access from interstate highway?

    Title kind of sums it up. I couldn't find anything on the subject doing a quick web search. For public lands bisected by a state or interstate highway, what, if any, are the laws regulating parking and accessing said public lands from the highway? This, of course, assumes that one can park...

    School me on Western Spring Bear

    Last year I hunted spring bear for the first time in SW MT. It was a great season, hiked my ass off, and eventually had one close encounter with a small bear late in the season. Needless to say, I didn't notch my tag. I did learn/reaffirm a few things in the process: bear hunting ain't easy...

    Howdy from Montana

    New to the forum and new to hunting, so I thought I'd introduce myself. It's been a helluva year - bought our first home in Manhattan, MT, had our first kid (a little girl), and I picked up hunting. Fall 2020 season ended in some upland birds and a mule deer - enough to get me plenty addicted...
