Four shots, four dead antelope. If you've ever stalked skittish pronghorn bucks with an exuberant 3 year old you will know these were earned :D -

More hunting with a toddler
I went camping with the family. Some obligatory product placement :hump: I shot a big cow. My wife pushed the little guy in a mile in his stroller to the kill site and then back out while I carted out the cow. -
Toddler on the Prairie
My wife and I were lucky to draw our favorite antelope tags here in MT this year after sitting last year out. The last time we had them we tagged out with two good bucks by noon and my wife took a toad of a buck with an extra prong, all with our 2 month old son in tow. This year he came along... -
MT Archery Bull
I was lucky enough to punch my tag opening week in western MT. I found my hunting grounds by going over my maps looking for areas with little or no road access. I immediately found a good looking area within an hour or so of home so I ground checked it with Google Earth. What I saw looked good... -
Ear protection for kids
I have a little one almost two now that's going to do a lot of bear hunting with me this spring. I'm looking for some good ear protection for him, hopefully something that can grow with him. Anybody out there have any advice on what to get?- mtlion

Nice deadhead
I went out east shed hunting over the weekend, only found 3 white antlers and two deadheads but one of them was the best deadhead I've picked up. He tapes 28 inches on the outside. It was one of those rare times when you follow a trail of bones to find the pot of gold at the end. Winter kill...- mtlion

Recent photo work
I recently took the plunge and decided to switch careers and go full time with my photography. For over the last 10 years I've either been training or working as an ecologist or biologist if you prefer. I've been at it full time for a couple months and hope to be selling my first photos to a... -
Deformed nose from recoil?
When shooting a pointed soft nose bullet from my Ruger 300 WSM the remaining shells in the magazine slam forward resulting in deformed noses. There is about 1/8 inch gap between the nose of the bullet and the wall of the magazine. Has anybody had this happen? What can I do? Do you think the... -

$10 Application fee for antelope?
I just completed mine and my wife's antelope applications on the MT online system. After completing them I saw that at the bottom of each was tacked a $10 application fee which was in addition to the normal online licensing fee. I scoured the regs for something about this but found nothing. Did... -
Best factory ammo?
I don't have time, money or equipment at this point to handload. I'm looking for opinions on who has the best factory ammo out there...Specifically for my 300 WSM. Who has the tightest tolerances as far as powder load, and who uses the best performing bullet? -
Montana Hirschjagd
This season I had the pleasure to hunt with a good friend of mine from Germany. Martin and I met through our wives who went to school together and then later worked together. Before Martin and his wife moved back home, we spent a great deal of time hunting bear together in the Root. He had never... -
Wild Turkey and Mushroom Croquettes
This is the absolute best recipe I've ever found for wild turkeys, also works with other birds like pheasant...My mom would whip these up with mashed taters and gravy. They are also excellent leftover in your pack for a lunch while hunting, minus the gravy of course. :D 5TBS Butter 4TBS Flour...- mtlion

Papoose on the prairie
Numbers were down in our unit and we had our two month old son along so we had our work cut out for us this year trying to fill our MT tags. A couple hours into our hunt I spotted a herd a mile below the ridge we were on, a quick jog brought me into range and we had a buck down. Within an... -
MT Antelope opener
Who's heading out for the MT rifle opener? The wife and I will be out with the new baby in tow. I'm hoping she'll get a shot at one close to the truck and fairly early so she can just take the little guy home. I have 4 days to hunt for myself then I'm off to WY for a few days. Good luck all...
