So...struck out on elk for the first time in 6 years. Decided to make up for it by dropping a few deer instead. Took my 5 year old on the first hunt to get a few WT does, and he had a blast! I can't post the pic of the first doe we shot, because my little buddy wouldn't smile for the camera...
Thanks to our messed up state regs and bonus point system (thanks Montana State Legislature 😡), this little girl is now the proud owner of her very own ALS# and her first of many bonus points for Moose, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat, and Elk...even though she won’t be able to apply until 2028! By...
Took us 3 years of trying, but my dad and I drew the PoW tag for spring '19. I'll have lots of questions later pertaining to logistics, but for now, we need to lock in where we are going to stay/hunt.
We're pretty sure we are going to book with one of the fishing lodges that will allow us to...
In Montana, FWP has a new system that requires a username and password rather than the old system where you just logged in by name/bday/zip code. I set up my account today, and one of the first thing I noticed, is that now they list bonus point AND preference points. What’s the deal with the...
As of today, when I click to open several of the threads, I'm being rerouted to 4wheelparts.com instead of into the thread??? Not every thread, just a few...
Closed out the 2017 season with a post Thanksgiving muley hunt. Day 1 was completely uneventful. Day 2 I wasn't having much luck either other than stumbling on a herd of 40+ cows. I heard them before I saw them and they were talking up a storm...went on for 45 minutes or so with them mewing...
Got my mountain goat back from last year (thread here: https://onyourownadventures.com/hunttalk/showthread.php?271368-MT-Mountain-Goat! )
He was done by Tru-Life in Laurel, MT and is tucked into a nook we have in our stairway. Plenty happy with how he turned out!
Good news! Hopefully the lawsuits don't last long and we can get to hunting!!!

Every year two of my best buds from my USMC days make the trip up to MT from AZ and TX to retell the same old stories and join me on a mountain fishing trip. This year, I happened to have the luck of drawing a mountain goat tag, and I convinced them to spend a week up here for fishing/scouting...
Anyone ever use these? I hadn't heard of them before but saw them on a shelf yesterday at Scheels. They look like great broadheads...just no way I am paying their price of $70 for a 3-pack!

A rookie police officer pulled a biker over for speeding and had the following exchange:
• Officer: May I see your driver's license?
• Biker: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.
• Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
• Biker: It's not my bike. I stole...
Can anyone tell me why the website is all the way to the right on my screen? I have to scroll right to see anything. I use Firefox. This started yesterday, and I haven't changed any settings (that I know of). The site still looks fine in internet explorer...
