I spent a bunch of time last week rebuilding my first aid kits in preparation for hunting season. I am curious to hear from others on this forum what their kits consist of. At one time, I was an EMT, so I tend to have a fair amount of stuff, between my backpack and the truck. I have three kits...
One of my favorite things to do with back straps. I typically leave them in larger pieces, usually 3-4 on a side, depending on how long they are. I use a classic recipe for beef wellington, and just substitute elk for the beef. Roast the meat in a pan til its nice and brown, then a layer of...
I know a lot of us here use and are pretty darn happy with our MR packs and gear. Thought I would share this story that ran in the Bozeman Chronicle today. Dana Gleason was kind enough to talk with kids from Simms and Bozeman about entrepreneurship and business. These kids were touring Bozeman...
I recently moved, and while packing up my garage, took some time to consolidate all of my various first aid kits/boxes of bandaids/etc into one plastic container. It got me thinking, what all should I have in my medkit?
Now, let me say that what I typically pack for a day hunt when I'm with...
Hi folks,
For sale is a very lightly used Sitka zip T with hood. TBH, not sure which exact model it is, all their stuff changes so quickly. It's a Large but I'd say that it fits more like a medium, which is why I'm selling it. $50.00 TYD. PM me.
Looking for a new rifle and have been eyeing these guys stuff. Been looking at the Carbon Classic. I'm curious to hear if anyone here has owned one of these rifles or anything with the carbon wrapped barrel. I've read conflicting reports that the carbon traps heat in the barrel and that it...
I drew the Bridgers mule deer tag this year, so I headed out early yesterday morning and got up to one of my spots. After glassing for a while and seeing no deer, I packed up and started heading further up the ridge.
Below me, on the north slope of the ridge in the timber, I heard a branch...
Hi folks,
I've worn out my current lightweight packable rain jacket, and am in the market for a new one. There is a nice Arcteryx coat on sale at REI but I am curious about the KUIU stuff. Has anyone on here used their Chugach rain gear? If you have, what did you like/not like?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I realize this is pretty far afield from what normally gets sold on Hunt Talk, but I thought I would throw in on here and see what happens. I have for sale a nice Citizen Eco-Drive men's watch.
It is a Citizen BL5295-55E Eco Drive Perpetual Calendar Chronograph I bought new in 2007...
Hi All,
Not much of a reloader but fortunate to have a buddy who does some. I finally was able to get some 180g Accutips to reload for my Kimber MT .300WSM. Wondering if anyone has experience loading these. I've had very good luck with the factory Accutip .300WSM ammo I've bought and would...

I've decided to sell a bunch of gear in the interest of making room in the garage.
Here is what's for sale:
Pair of Kenetrek Grizzly boots, size 11. Insulated pac boots. They have seen a moderate amount of use but are still in very good shape. I've maintained the leather so they should be...
Hi Hunt Talkers,
Last summer, I asked Randy for some help in getting folks here to respond to a survey about Montana's Block Management Program that my organization was conducting. That thread is here:

We completed work on that...
Last year I bought a nice handmade knife that is very sharp and very hard steel. It's held its edge quite well through last fall and now '12 antelope season, however, I wanted to touch up the edge before the general season opened, but didn't trust my own sharpening skills with such a project. A...
Hey all, I'm heading over to Flathead next weekend to get the boat in the water for what will probably be the last trip of the season. My family went to Bigfork every summer when the little cabins were still around in the bay, wish I could remember the name of the old couple who ran the...

This popped up on google news this morning. Apparently some animal rights groups are crying foul over the films portrayal of wolves. I have not seen the film but apparently the plot...
