    Ice fishing winding down

    Went out this evening for a couple hours to see how the ice is holding up. Still ok but the end is near. I've ice fished a fair bit this year. Fished like a rookie tonight missed one, lost 4, snapped one off right at the hole, iced 3. Better than not fishing though. Probably get out a time or...

    AZ deer 2023

    Of all the hunting I've done, I think Coues deer are the ultimate in challenging. Nothing about them is easy. Hard to find, hard to glass, hard to get close to, really tough to find those top level bucks. They get hunted pretty hard for 3-4 months of the year, plenty of predation on them, etc...

    Montana deer with 32-40

    My Great Grandfather bought a Winchester 94 in 32-40 sometime around 1910 before he moved to Montana. I shot a deer with it in the 90's but sort of quit shooting it due to lack of components and available ammo. Got lucky and snagged 200 brass this year, so figured I'd dust it off and see if it...

    2023 Montana deer

    Been a fun week and still have a few days left in Montana. I killed this buck on the 21st when he made a mistake being in tve wrong place at the wrong time. That and following a doe combined with wanting to spend time helping my Dad made the decision easier. An hour or so later, Dad and I...

    2023 elk so far

    Been a busy start to November. After hunting a few days in early November here, I made my way to Montana to help my Brother. I met him and Dad and we had a great time. My brother shot this bull at 388 yards with my 7-08 and nosler accubonds. Closer look, never have seen a bull with 3...

    One of those days I'd like to forget

    Started elk hunting for myself on November 1. Good start, found 7 bulls right away from a long distance, one was a decent 6 point with a busted 4th, around 300 or so. That evening, bumped into a decent herd with these two bulls. Photo's were taken from 175-210 yards to the very farthest bull...

    Wyoming Meeting: Columbus Peak Land exchange

    For those that have been following this, WYBHA has been opposing this land exchange for the past couple years. Its really a bad deal for the public. Long and short is we would lose access to some quality ground with both hunting and fishing in exchange for Land the WSLI is going to sell for home...

    Kerry White good for MT Sportsmen and Access?

    Heard on some other hunting boards that Kerry White from Montana is "one of the biggest proponents of public access, Kerry White and Citizens For Balanced Use." Is that a fair assessment of Kerry White?

    Corner crossing tampering

    I was reading the 32 page summary judgement and couldn't help notice Judge Skavdahl made mention of inappropriate behavior trying to sway his ruling. It would be quite interesting if they had actually named names, but I have a pretty good idea which side of the case did it. Interested parties...

    SF088 Contact House TRW

    Now is the time to contact the House TRW on making the switch from preference points for sheep and moose in Wyoming to a squared bonus point system. Whether opposed, support, or something in between, now is the time to contact them. I don't like switching point systems this deep into the...

    Late elk for a couple friends

    Went out for a late elk hunt with a couple friends. They fought bad weather all week so I thought I'd give them a hand. I really like Wyoming, but the relentless winds this time of year are pretty hard to tolerate. Went to a place I've never shot elk before, but have seen them from time to...

    WY/MT season wrap up

    Wrapped up the WY and MT seasons the last few weeks, over all pretty darn good. I had more fun in 2 days of elk hunting than I thought possible, helping both my nephews with their WY elk. First up was my youngest nephew. The weather was pretty windy, but after a bunch of glassing I finally...

    Second WY elk for the year...

    Not just another cow elk, pretty neat to kill one with my late Grandfather's 300 winchester. Was a miserable day to be out, but better than sitting on the couch. Saw 4 wrecks on the way to my spot, 3 on one tight corner. Thought about turning around and heading home, but by that time I figured...
