    First Archery Buck

    After picking up my dads old bow over the winter I started shooting archery earlier this summer, my only goals for this season were to hopefully have some encounters with rutting elk and to harvest a whitetail doe.

    Montana Harvest Statistics

    I’m sure most of you who hunt Montana have looked into the harvest statistics that they publish yearly. I’ve got to say, if these numbers are accurate the deer harvest in Region 3 is actually pathetically low. I have mostly hunted the same unit the last 5 years plus and therefore haven’t looked...

    A Season of Firsts

    At one point a couple weeks ago I was telling a friend that I hadn’t been out hunting as much as I would have liked this fall. Which is only partially true, I hunted more in September than I ever have before this year - mainly for grouse, but I was also fortunate enough to put a tag on a bear my...

    Montana LE Mule Deer

    I generally see or hear little to no discussion regarding the premier mule deer units in Montana. Considering the odds are so low as it stands I’m hoping this thread can be opened up to general conversation regarding herd strength, winter range, or any other news in these units. That being...

    Tell me why this is a bad idea

    Excluding backpack hunts, for weekend hunting I’ve pretty much always just hunted from the house on day trips or slept in the back of the pickup on solo missions.
