    Need a lighter rifle

    I bought a Browning xbolt medallion in 300 win mag last year. Beautiful gun, only weighs 7lbs and is 8 ounces lighter than the Winchester Featherweight in the same caliber. Hands down, the least felt recoil of any .300 win mag Ive ever shot.

    7.3 Powerstroke...yes or no?

    Mr. Cushman, Ive been hauling trailers with 7.3' s since they came out with them. Some guys will tell you the transmission can be problematic. Years of learning the hard way, and having a good friend who is a Ford mechanic, taught me one thing. Its not truly the transmission that is the problem...

    Montana Hunter Orange Bill???

    I read this poem from a hunting widow once, I' m sure many of you have seen it. Dont quote me on it but the widow asks in her poem why we spend hundreds( or thousands cant remember which) on the latest camoflauge patterns only to cover them up with fluorescent orange. I suppose this bill lends...

    Hobbies other than hunting?

    Aside from work and hunting, you'll find me fishing, training colts, futilely attempting to become a better roper, leisurely riding or seeing what kind of contraption I can weld together.

    what would you do?

    Update; well I just got off the phone with my buddy. He opted to call the sheriff who in turn called SDGF. As it turns out this individual is under investigation by SDGF for the same types of activities on 3 other properties in the state. SDGF wouldnt divulge any details to him but did say...

    what would you do?

    I have a close friend in South Dakota whos a farmer and traditionally he has always granted hunting access to anyone who asks permission. He grew up hunting with his father and those are some of his fondest memories so to uphold a longstanding tradition he allows hunting on his place. Last...

    States with Walk in Hunting Programs?

    South Dakota has quite a few walk in areas. I have a close friend whos a farmer there and i help him work cattle a few times every year. I was quite surprised at how much land is walk in. My friend isnt enrolled in the program but is one of those rare individuals that allows hunting access to...

    Ranchers should be worried about the rabbits instead of bison

    Katqanna, I agree entirely. My statements werent in opposition to any and all reintroduction of bison. My original statements were in regards to cattle and bison sharing the same public ground, which is not a position this ranch finds ourselves in , Yet. My statements were based on the...

    Ranchers should be worried about the rabbits instead of bison

    I apologize, in no way did I mean to use landowners retracting from block management as a threat. I mentioned it because it was a direct result of the bison reintroduction program and a failure to acknowledge the concerns of affected ranchers, myself not included. The statement was only intended...

    Ranchers should be worried about the rabbits instead of bison

    Straightarrow, my original point was simply to say that when cattle are sharing public grounds with bison and rabbits that of the two critters, rabbits are far less " disturbing" to the cattle thereby making the original topic laughable. As a cattle producer, we have concerns that city dwellers...

    Ranchers should be worried about the rabbits instead of bison

    Incidentally, about 2 months ago bison were released on the Fort Peck Indian reservation. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/local/2014/11/13/bison-reach-new-home-montana-indian-reservation/18982563/ If you read this article you will find the bison were tested for brucellosis another...

    Ranchers should be worried about the rabbits instead of bison

    Straightarrow, how many cattle do you raise? What knowledge do you possess of Turners operation? I have been to Turners ranch, not simply aware that it exists, have spoken with a former ranch manager and discussed the special precautions that he had to take to prevent such incidences from...

    Ranchers should be worried about the rabbits instead of bison

    When I read an article like this I have to laugh too. As a ranch manger, who operates in an area being considered for bison reintroduction my concern, not fear, is neither disease nor grazing competition. My concern would be bison bulls breeding my cows. No domesticated cattle breed contains...

    Last ever hunt

    If it were the last hunt I could ever go on, I would have to say it would be whatever species of critter my children would want to chase in Montana. My kids live in Louisiana with their mother while I reside in Montana. I dont get to see them nearly as often as I would like. We havent yet gotten...

    Electric Reel?

    Streamer, many moons ago when I was a kid I grew up next to a fella who was born with one arm. He loved fishing and used to build his own electric reels. 2 years ago I went back home to visit and bumped into him at a convenience store. We got to talking and I asked him if he was still fishing...

    Wyoming, we dont want you DIY hunters.....

    Roadhunter, I am new to this site and after reading your posts the most valuable information I got from you was " I will contribute no more". After reading your posts I hope you stay true to your word unless what you are "contributing" is hunting related. Quite frankly, being new here I view...

    Tire question

    Rest assured it was not a Montanan with an ice pick. We have much more clever ways of getting back at you lighted nock guys than vandalism. My guess is either a mad wife or the result of legalizing marijuana.
