    Alaskan Bear vs MT/WY Bear

    I guided on the lower Alaska peninsula quite a bit years ago and thought that the big bears, especially in the fall, were like big whitetail bucks, often like shadows. We always cooked in our tents and never ever worries about it. Many of the big bears had birdshot or other projectiles in them...

    Fully guided Elk hunt or Braces?

    Makes me wonder what braces cost, we didn’t shop around but had nothing but great experiences with particular ortho and dentist. $5k flat here and not done or fully paid for and another kid to go. Perhaps they are cosmetic but could be pretty fundamental to a lifetime of self-confidence...

    The Road to Chamisaville

    I recently read the Molegro Beanfield wars and it sparked my interest in rural New Mexico. I have no idea of the geography but it seems neat. Thanks for sharing

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    Oh man I hope the beaver price holds but I think it will! Everybody traps beaver because they need the carcasses for bait but it’s exciting to think of a $30 average. I fleshed two last night and three today and my arm is aching. Better get in shape.. Beaver prices are the single benefit I’ve...

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    A little snow angel luck and a cat from earlier this season. My daughter really wanted a coonskin cap so I sewed one up For her birthday. I had a tanned coon I’d trapped years before and just used my regular sewing machine. Made me really want a fur sewing machine.. it they’re a little pricey.

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    It’s been a very tough year getting around with the snow, too much in places for a four wheeler with long stretches of dry ground other places. However got my Trapping partners out and had some Success and made Some good luck snow angels

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    My favorite part of trapping is seeing thing you wouldn’t ordinarily see because you’re out and about in unusual seasons. Yesterday I came across this wolverine track. We have very little snow and I was surprised to see this wolverine following this road across a completely open sagebrush park...

    Sheep meat any good?

    I may be an outlier… I love Dall sheep and have eaten loads of it. The Bighorn that I shot in Montana was absolutely terrible. It was straight up mutton.

    Idaho Unit 52A for deer

    I’ve been there scouting though it was years ago and would share the little I know. I did shoot a deer with a muzzleloader so long ago it was in a round ball only season. Feel free to PM me. My other memory is that we came across two sheepherders in the middle of nowhere. One was eating...

    In Defense of Mountain House -- a Treatise

    I love MH. Period. Never understood why one wouldn’t. I came into base camp this year and found a bunch of weird-ass Chad Mendez Bison Mashers and other crap. most annoying thing was that called For water amounts like “1 1/3 cups”. How does that work? Times have changed but in the old days...

    Age and Elevation

    I live at 4000' and recently hunted in a totally physically easy situation at 9500 feet. By day 2 I had a pounding headache and felt poorly. I thought I had been drinking plenty of water but when I got home I still had a headache and slept poorly. The following day I drank as much as I...

    Selling a shotgun or two

    What are anyone's thoughts about the " best" place to sell a shotgun or two? I have a couple of Browning Auto-5's that I will never use and would like to make some room in the safe. I see lots of local gunshops offering to buy guns but the only time I sold stuff there it seemed very...

    A question for MT hunters of the early '80's

    Was there a preference system in place for special draws sometime in the early 1980's? I have a friend who has described one but I've never heard anyone else describe such a thing. He stated that it ended sometime around 1983. Just wondering. THank you
