This is why Bozeman is kind of annoying.
wise words right there, we have done the same: it's all fun and games until you want to go fishing (or insert favorite thing to do) with your 25 yr old son or daughter or grandson or other family member but the fact that you're 2,400 miles away makes it impossible. Precious time together turns...- MT Bound

Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?
ditto what these guys have already said^ about 1.5 yrs back the wife had to get dogs again so I made her at least get dogs that can hunt, I'm learning as much as they are on dog temperament and training, what works and what doesn't. books, youtube videos, and advice from other hunters. my...- MT Bound

How much water do you carry in your pack?
agreed, 2,000 vert. feet is gonna make you work for sure my best september elk spots have dark timber nearby with seeps or springs or little brooks somewhere, the elk are drawn to it don't make it harder than it already is -
How much water do you carry in your pack?
me personally I would find a different place to hunt where there's at least some water source. I bring 1 32 oz nalgene bottle and my steri-pen (or small bag filter) 10 yrs back most of my pack weight was water/drinks, not anymore I go as light as possible It takes time and experience to learn... -
Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?
if you're looking to experience the West then just go, whether or not you buy the OTC tag is up to you. Not that big of a deal to quarter one up and haul it out, as long as you don't go 5+ miles in by yourself. Just plan ahead a little bit and prepare in case you put one on the ground. I've... -
Whitetail roadtrip to MT...
Yah, good luck on this hunt. Why in the world you want to drive to MT to shoot another whitetail is beyond me, but have at it, to each their own, especially along the Milk. Have fun! (y)(y) -

Montana Mountain Goat- at wits end
yah big f-ing deal, we named the unit...oooooohhh 2023 draw odds from MT Website: 181 tags, 23,190 people applied. the LE tags and species are typically once in a lifetime, and not everybody who draws the tag are willing to hike up there and do what needs to be done.

Montana Mountain Goat- at wits end
"Marshian said: I did both of these as day hikes. The longer one as you can see was 17.4 miles and 4-5k elevation. The other was nearly 15 miles and about 2500 feet but with about a 60 pound pack since that’s when I planned to camp. So for me, mentally, I’d rather go absolute balls out for a day...- MT Bound

Montana Mountain Goat- at wits end
just saw this thread/post, did not read most of it but was drawn to Greenhorns helpful pics/post. Love the references Greenhorn, his advice is spot on. I went in with family who drew the 329 tag in 2017 and we came in from the west from 323, a healthy hike but not a death march by any means...- MT Bound

Selling our house w/23 acres outside Helena, MT
Well now if the buyer is a hunter from here on hunt-talk, I would certainly share some waypoints to good hunting spots, share the wealth & help out a fellow hunter! -
Selling our house w/23 acres outside Helena, MT
It's been tough being away from our adult children, none of them followed us out here and we miss them terribly. The biggest bull elk in MT doesn't mean a thing to me if I can't share the hunt or a hike with my son.... "Are you no longer MT Bound" Haha, maybe not, but I will probably just... -

Rattlesnakes
This has been a bad year for rattlers outside Helena, have seen 3 near the house, the third one bit our 5 month old Golden in the face about 3 weeks ago. He's recovered very well, got him to the vet in less than an hour for antivenom and meds. The pups are full of energy and want to play with...- MT Bound
