    Montana Public Land Bull, Finally

    I haven`t killed a bull in a few years, although I do make the 2500 mile drive every Sept from NC to MT, so I have had a few year dry spell since my last bull (2014). For the area we hunt, this one was pretty good. I`m guessing 320", but most of you guys know better than I do. The last bull I...

    Used It To My Advantage...

    ...and it ALMOST worked! Went on our annual elk hunt in MT, and were in elk everyday with no one in the entire drainage with us for the first couple days. Then on, I think, Tuesday, I hear the awfullest bugling that I've heard heading close to one of the bulls that we were after. My elk...

    Bozeman Airport Hotels?

    I'll be flying into Bozeman Airport Monday a week. I'll need to get a hotel around Bozeman (Belgrade) just for one night due to a late flight before driving to Gardiner. I usually steer clear of airport area hotels because they tend to be around some rough areas. Is that the case there too...

    Montana Deadhead Recovery

    http://fwp.mt.gov/news/newsReleases/hunting/nr_2900.html I didn't see anything posted on this, so I hope it's not a repeat. I understand the mindset of the MT law against removing bighorn deadheads, but I am glad to see that it is now legal to pick them up under certain instances. I've never...

    Yellowstone- "Somewhat" Avoiding The Crowds?

    My wife and I are thinking about visiting Yellowstone this spring/summer. We both have extremely flexible vacation time to go, but we're not sure of an ideal time to go. Would early May be decent with avoiding alot of the crowds? If not, any suggestions would be welcome.

    Steven Rinella on Joe Rogan Podcast

    Rinella is one of the best ambassadors to hunting, in my opinion. He does an incredible job on Joe Rogan's podcast! One reason that I believe I enjoyed it so much is because JRE reaches alot of the non hunting audience who would otherwise maybe never hear something like this...

    NC Public Land Buck

    Hunted public land (NC) yesterday. I grunted, he came out of a thicket looking, and I shot him. For NC public, this is a really good buck. Around here, you drag a deer to your truck on public land, since ATVs aren't allowed, because, well, that's what you do. I was a mile back in a...

    How Do Y'all Do It!

    I just returned from an elk hunt in Montana, but had to go alone this year! Hunting partner was flooded out by Hurricane Florence and couldn't make it. The driving 2400 miles there and back wasn't too bad, had 5 bulls to come in between 52-100 yards, so it was a successful hunt, although no...

    Am I Dedicated, Stubborn, or Stupid

    My hunting partner and I were scheduled to leave NC for MT on our elk hunt today. But due to my buddies house being the current bullseye for Florence, there is a strong likelihood that he's not going to make the trip this year. We always drive, taking turns, for 2 solid days, which is a...

    Training For Hunts Turn Into New Interests?

    After going on my first elk hunt a few years ago, this NC boy got his rear handed to him, so I decided to loose weight and get in shape. Lost 30 lbs, run all the time, and my next hunt was much different and much more enjoyable! At first, I couldn't run a mile without being out of breath...

    Nice NC Buck

    North Carolina isn't known for it's "trophy quality" bucks. So I know that this buck may be just a normal buck in some states, but not in my neck of the woods! This wasn't public land, but actually in an urban area where I only have a few acres to hunt. I don't put out any cameras, so it was...

    Restaurant Recommendations Around Holloman AFB

    My wife and I will be visiting our son at Holloman in two weeks. Our son mentioned wanting to take us to a BBQ place in Cloudcroft that he likes, but was curious if there are other restaurants in the nearby towns that anyone can recommend that we can go to as well.

    Hollowman AFB NM...?

    My son is now based at Hollowman AFB, just arrived today. Looking on the world wide web, there doesn't seem to be a lot to do around there. I've visited him in TX, and enjoyed it. But is there anything to do in the area of Hollowman? Something my wife may enjoy, who does like the...

    Another Bonus For Getting In "Elk Shape"

    As with many easterners and flatlanders, I got my butt handed to me on my first elk hunt a couple years ago. So before this past Sept, I vowed to get my act together and be ready. Right after that hunt 2 years ago, I started working out, running 3+ miles almost daily, hiking with my hunting...

    Recommended Local Restaurant in/around Wichita Falls TX?

    Keeping the question simple. I'm going to take my sons car to him, who is currently in Tech School at Sheppard Air Force Base, which is in Wichita Falls TX, next weekend. There's little else I enjoy more than eating at small local restaurants in small towns while I'm traveling. Does anyone...

    Proud Of My Boy!

    I thought I was proud of him when he killed his first deer when he was 10: But I couldn't be more proud of him today after graduating USAF basic. Also got the job he wanted, "Tactical Aircraft Maintenance" on F-16's.
