    Broad head vs bare shaft tune

    Hey archery gurus, I had been dialed in with my field points and broadheads together our to 50 yards. Not splitting arrows, but within my capability at that distance (under 6 inches farthest apart. Then, because I saw an article on goHunt and had a couple bare shafts, I thought I’d shoot them at...

    Broadhead tune or sight in first?

    I am getting my bow tuned in again, as well as setting up my 3 pin slider (ascent verdict). I’m assuming that I should get my bow as dialed in (Broadhead to field point) first, and then worry about the sight tape. I never realized my previous sights and bows I always got paper tuned with field...

    Least expensive thumb or hinge release

    I’ve been using a trigger release (I think it’s the Scott samurai with webbing between the trigger and wrist wrap) and am pretty good with it. My biggest issue is getting my knuckle to my jaw for an anchor, but then I have to shift from that as I really get my finger set on the trigger. I think...

    Selfbow from wind blown trees in Kalispell

    This is a long shot but here goes. Kalispell got blown over on Sunday with many of the trees in downtown throwing branches and trunks around. We had a tall 80 foot elm (I think?) that came down on my truck and part of the house. As you drive through the neighborhoods it looks like a tornado hit...

    Kalispell family ponds

    Evening guys, I’m hoping some of you may be able to pm me or point me in the right direction. My 3 year old has a little fishing pole and is getting pretty good at casting. I think it’s time to catch a fish. However, I’m still a horrible angler. We’ve tried Dry Bridge Pond as it’s in the...

    Ruger LCR 357

    Hey everyone, I just picked up a Ruger LCR 357 as a trade in on my Taurus Judge. I picked this particular wheel gun as a compromise of uses. I occasionally carry but struggle with my Glock in the summer, and this fits as a pocket carry very well for me. I’m mostly planning to use .38 specials...

    Harvesting fly materials

    I’m just starting to really get into fly fishing and was thinking the other day about the materials used. Is there any good info on what needs to be done and how for getting things like deer and elk hair, grouse feathers, etc. ready to use? I heard for grouse to just through the skin and...

    Missoula block management

    I’ve been trying to dive in to the 3 or 4 block management lands right in Missoula area but nothing has been jumping out as GREAT habitat for elk and I’m not sure enough about deer to know that I can cross any of them off the list. I also looked at the fishing access sites but unless the water...

    Sgt Mikes chili recipe

    Hey guys, I am way behind in my podcasts and had just heard one with Jonathan O’dell and a super easy chili recipe. Has it been published or put out on YouTube yet? I can’t seem to find it but thought it sounded like a good one to try this coming fall. Or maybe I’m over thinking the approximate...

    E-scouting fly fishing spots?

    Hello everyone, this may be a question better suited to Troutnut or a fly fishing forum, but I value HuntTalks opinions. I live in Kalispell, with family in Missoula, surrounded by fantastic fisheries like the Blackfoot, Flathead, Swan, Bitterroot, etc. there are also TONS of small creeks and...

    Hurricane Storm 2

    Hey everyone, I was looking for a new target that was bigger than my Reinhart 18-1 to start playing with my recurve again. As always, I’d love a target that I could also shoot with my compound, but the VAPs with stainless outserts always bury up to my fletchings in normal bag targets or the...

    Cow hunt gone wrong

    Hey guys, here’s a story from last weekend: A buddy and I went out last Friday morning with a cow tag and general tag in each of our pockets. A few weeks ago we saw a couple large groups of cows and we were hoping to fill our freezers, and my first elk was an exciting prospect. We started hiking...

    MT early Nov COW elk tactics

    Hey everyone, Have failed again to get an elk with my bow I grabbed the nearest OTC cow elk tag (Region 2, BMAs only for me) to try and get it done with a rifle. I’m heading south next Thursday and Friday as those are the only times I could get free. The trouble is in all my learnings in the...

    Determine if state land is huntable

    I’m specifically curious how to find out in MT, but there are some state land chunks (via OnX maps) that seem like they could be decent deer hunting. I don’t see any formal trails or parking area, so I’m not sure how to tell if it is open for hunting or leased out/closed off. Is there any trick...

    Mt hd 290

    Hey everyone, just thought I’d prove here about the 290 District in Montana. Any thoughts on elk this late in the season? Are they all on private now or is there still a chance of some on the small amount of public? Is the Aunt Molly WMA easy to traverse or are the creeks and river too wide and...

    Victory VAP Elite vs Gamer

    Hey all, I have been shooting VAP elites and having good luck. It have an opportunity to buy some gamers with a buddy. I think the only difference is straightness (.001 vs .003?). Does this matter much or should I stick with what I have so far?

    Disappointing trail cam

    I thought I had found a nice hidey hole near town and put up a trail cam on July 23 over a game trail. I just picked it up yesterday and had one doe, a couple riding horses, and a guy on a mountain bike. For sitting out a month I was pretty bummed. At least no one took the camera and I know not...

    Hunting burns and timber sales

    With the new OnX map layers available, I'm able to start seeing more of the burns and timber sales than just what I can tell from Google Earth. Now I'm wondering how do you hunt these areas? Specifically elk, but deer as well, and preferably in September during Archery but also November during...
