    Late season tents

    Looking for recommendations on a tent for late season elk hunting in Montana. Something that will stay comfortable in extreme winds and heavy snows. Needs to be big enough for four people and gear. I've been looking at all the options and wondering if anyone chooses a bell tent over a...

    MT DEA drawing Monday?

    Anyone know when the drawing will be held this year? Website says,"week of the 15th". The Commission met last week, which has something to do with the exact timing. What does it matter? I guess I have been checking for two months already!

    Rocky Silent Stalker boots

    Anyone have these? What do you think? Are they hot? I'm in the market for a new pair of boots. I hate heavy, rigid boots and have been known to hunt an entire elk season in a pair of Teva sandals. Once, I packed out three bulls (two were five miles back and one seven) in a pair of loafers. My...

    Trichinella

    Hi all, I've been interested in doing a bear hunt the past few years, but have been really turned off by the prospect of contracting trichinosis. I know most people don't get really sick, but the idea of having roundworms eating my, and my families, muscles is a little too much for me to...

    Shooting Around

    Hi guys, I'm a new archer. I would like to take my bow along on my workout sessions (hill climbs) and shoot around. I was wondering what people's experiences are with Judo Points. I would like to shoot stumps mainly and don't want to blow up a bunch of arrows doing it. I realize I may not get...

    Drink adds

    What does everyone like to add to their water while out on those almost-pass-out hunting marathons? I used to use Emergen-C but have really grown fond of Coco-Hydro. Friends like Power-Pack. IMO this stuff is worth the extra weight in the pack IF I'm going all out.

    Adding breakup to clothing

    The off-season is long. As a result, I have been making and modifying outdoor related clothing and gear. Has anyone added breakup to fleece before? I have a blaze orange fleece vest that came with "branches" painted onto it. I am not sure exactly what was used, but it feels slightly crusty on...

    Cooling meat in creek water

    I really like the idea of putting my boned out meat in plastic and submerging it in cold creek water. I've read it mentioned a few times in books and would love to use it to push deeper into the wilderness during archery. My pack crew is skeptical to say the least. Has anyone done this? What...

    Tyvek bivvy?

    Anyone ever tried one? I've been hearing good things. I guess this would be mostly for archery, but I would love to be able to bivvy right on the trail of that 6" track at the end of the day to pick it up fresh come daylight. Check out this video for more information...

    MT DEA 2013 Regulations - when?

    My training regimen is in overdrive right now. It seems all that I can think about is elk season. When is FWP going to release the DEA regs book? I seem to remember last year (the first year with the earlier deadline to apply) was maybe sometime in February. Oh well, back to running ridges!

    Dry aging?

    Hi all, Yesterday I shot a 4 point bull. I was going to post pics, but there's not much anyone would really want to see. On the shot, he tobogganed down the hill 500 yards, tearing off an antler and wedging under a downed tree. I guess I could take pics of bloody game bags :o Anyway, this...

    Montana M,S,G drawing

    Anybody have a feeling on when we'll see results? Is this "the third week in June" or will we have to wait another week or even 10 days *gasp* I don't think I can wait any longer!
