    Moose from 2014 Finally back!

    I finally got my Moose and deer back from my 2014 Season. 3 1/2 years! I never thought I would see them again! The Taxidermist went out of business, and had a lot of personal issues. I just kept in touch and gently reminded him every few months and he finally came through. We had paid him up...

    Fence Post Rubs

    We were hunting with a buddy in extreme NE Montana a couple of weeks ago and saw these. I've seen these on some of the Whitetail shows before, but never in person until this season. It was an old fence between a couple of wheat strips where there has never been any livestock. There was a whole...

    Quiet Pack Cover

    I recently upgraded my daypack. I had been using an old Cabela's fleece pack for a long time and it is trashed, so I did a lot of research, and decided on a Stone Glacier Approach. The one thing I was surprised by where all of the best quality packs were concerned was the lack of any very quiet...

    What Sitka Jacket for NW Montana?

    I won a little drawing on here last year and won a 90% Jacket. I wear that thing all the time! I wore it the whole trip last week in the Breaks for our elk. I even wore it to sleep in when we were spiking out because my sleeping bag was a little light for the temps. I have decided to drop some...

    Breaks Bulls

    When I saw the drawing results and called my brother and told him that we had both drawn bull tags in the breaks and he said, "Oh No", I said what? He was already in Yellowstone living out of his camp trailer working on this season's project. Most of the summer was filled with high stress and...

    2014 Bull back from Taxidermist

    I went and picked up my bull from last year finally yesterday. I think he did a good job. I wish I had a little higher ceilings though. This rack is headed to the taxidermist next.

    Bear Baiting a Different Way

    When we were hunting the N. Fork Clearwater in Idaho, I had good ole hand show me a much easier way to bait. We would talk to the local restaurants and had them save their grease. It was saved in a cubical plastic jug that held maybe 4 or five gal. We were packing in off of the road maybe 7-10...

    Thank God for that Moose Tag!

    Okay, so I've been hunting the moose for 28 days counting today. For the most part I have had very little luck finding any game. No bull moose at all yet. But I did finally find a spot that had some game. Like I said in the moose thread I have been seeing a bunch of muley does and couldn't wait...

They are having a hard time I guess. I told my buddy i would put a post here to see if there was anything someone...

    Couldn't find a moose Sooo...

    Was looking for a moose last Tuesday and came across some elk. I saw a 5 point raghorn, and bumped some in the timber. Those elk in the timber had a bull that made a lot of noise going through the trees so he had to be decent. So made plans to come back with the horses on Sat, the 25th for the...

    Swarovski is Awesome!!

    I traded three weeks of guiding back in 1994 for a pair of 10x42 SLC Swarovskis. At the time the retail was about 1K. The Outfitter I worked for had a client that was an importer back east so I got them for cheaper. Over the years they have seen hard use. One time I looked in the rearview mirror...

    MT Moose Unit 104

    So, I spent 10 days total from just after I found out I drew the tag in June to the weekend before the season opened Mon. 9/15. I talked to the head biologist for region 1. And she seemed to think the moose keyed mostly on recent clearcuts. I found a lot of old sign, probably winter type sign on...

    Wolf question

    I was scouting last weekend for my moose fairly high up in a creek drainage. It was pretty hot like it has been for a few weeks now. I took my 10 yr. old chocolate lab with me and we were working our way up an overgrown spur logging road. This was about 4 miles behind a gate and I had been...

    Bison Hunt Cancelled !!

    They did it! Here's what I've seen so far: http://www.billingsgazette.com/blog/outdoors/ 1/10/2005 By Mark Henckel at 1:28 pm Bison humor The news reports on canceling the bison hunt for this year are just trickling in. And, frankly, some of the comments are just plain laughable. Check this...

    Breaks Bull #3

    I shot this bull on Nov. 9, 2004. I had hunted opening week with my brother and two sons, mainly looking for a buck for them, and antelopefor them also. I was sorely tempted constantly looking at elk. I saw many bulls that first week, but none I felt would go over 350 B&C. We got the boys' deer...
