This is new. The Sunriver Game range and the rest of them I guess, require a conservation/fishing license to access the land even to shed hunt. I was just there, as well as the Willow Creek boat ramp. It is replacing the "State use permit". Check it out all the fwp access areas require it as...
OK, I'm going on a pig hunt in Feb and would like opinions.
The pig feeders are continuously lit with green lights.
We all have red lights on our rifles.
Red and green light makes yellow light.
Will it spook the pigs if we turn on our red shooting lights?
On opening day of duck season, my brother-in-law packed in about a mile and a half pulling a two-wheel wheelbarrow full of decoys and ammo and maybe lunch too. We each pulled the barrow through tall weeds and mud, and each had a handle trading sides to rest the other arm.
I had no idea I was...

Does anyone know anything about this Outfitter?
He is small but sounds like the, we hunt and fairly inexpensive, $400 a day per person.
AND, it's "Only" 26 hours from my house, they have the last 3 weeks in February open.
Any...
I had two whitetail doe tags in my pocket and a plan.
I knew a place where we might fill them. It's a BMA next to a closed waterfowl management area.
My boy and I walked out in a dry drain ditch about a mile and a quarter and slipped up to the top, and set up to wait. We could see out over three...
My neighbor has a Hawthorn tree and lets me pick them. I have read there wild in places too.
It takes about 10 pounds hips to get around 6 cups of juice. I freeze them first to break up their cell structure, then simmer them for about 3 hours, mashing them gently as they cook down. Their seeds...
September first opines upland birds and doves. It is also the opening of archery for big game.
I don't archery hunt.
The 15th is bear and wolf.
A buddy and I loaded up the 4wheelers and headed uphill, looking for Duskie and ruff grouse.
They tend to like high ridges with open areas in the...
I'm still fire-forming the AI part, but we have enough brass to start loads.
I want to keep them around 2700, or 2800 fps Similar to the factory 7x57 in a 140-ish bullet.
It's for a small framed 14-year-old girl. She has been shooting for 8 years and is very good. But does not enjoy heavy...
I have my over-the-counter "A" buck tag and 5 asst doe tags.
Of them, 4 are from the "Surplus tags".
and of that 3 are Mule deer doe tags.
It looks like I'll get picked for at least one and maybe two more. Not to mention I have good numbers in the damage hunt list.
I also turned down 2 cow elk...
OK, we are still waiting on the draw for Antelope.
But the swan and crane draw was held and posted.
We all got a swan tag and the D-I-L got a crane tag. I prefer the crane but a swan tag is just as hard to draw, and fun too.
I hope I'm not making a fooPa here in someone else's backyard, but.
I was watching his videos on Youtube for some time and he seems to be putting up new ones weekly sometimes daily.
And now poof all gone and you can't even search his name. I know he was on for a long time on the truth about...
OK if I'm reading this correctly We still have to buy a state lands recreation permit to target shoot, gopher hunt, and predator hunt, right?
Same as now, just more money?
I have been looking in loads for the GD's soon-to-be-built 7mm Mauser AI.
The info is difficult to find for the AI in a modern action.
I think we will start with a 140 gr bullet then later a much smaller one for P dogs/coyotes.
Maybe a sst or a ttsx if we can ever find any.
We have almost...
Ruger American barrel does anyone need/want one in 3006? there is less than 100 shot out of it.
As you know I'm using the rest of it for the 7mm Mauser project. The 7x57 AI barrel should be here soon, I hope. We pulled the barrel off to be ready when it does.
Anyway, send me an offer if you...

It will have to be picked up, in Great Falls MT
I would trade for Allient RL 26 or large mag rifle primers, 1 to 1.
I have not posted an update on my dog project.
It has been a year and two winters with it finished.
There has been a lot of tweaking but it seems to be working about as expected.
When I first engineered it I had it going about 30 MPH, way too fast.
I later slowed it down to the top end of about...
Does anyone Come to look/buy, or participate?
It is a big thing here. We used to only have one big one now there are two, The Russell is the other.
Many millions of dollars worth of western artwork are displayed and for sale.
It's fun to look at.
I usually do some overnight security at one of...
I have a very dear friend that wants to come out ( Montana) from PA for a spring coyote hunt. I'm in the GF area but will travel a couple of hundred miles to hunt.
He is 15 years older than me, that's 15 years older than dirt...
Anyway, I like June, or July ( not really spring) But warmer and...
There has been some chatter about the 6.5 Grendel pros and cons.
Well, the little Grandaughter uses one and loves it and is good with it.
It's light for her to carry and has very light recoil. Her opening day hunt:
FOG, RAIN, Snow! Need I go on?
Cold, crappy, and muddy, but the show must go...
Even though I Don't need a concealed weapons permit here...
Montana
It has some advantages to have one.
I took the Montana test to be certified.
I have My Security Guard license.
I have a copy of my Hunter's safety with the #.
My fingerprints are on file at the MT DOJ.
Now what?
Take it...
