buying a used bow
Any advice on shopping for a used bow (compound)? The bow I'm using now is well over 30 years old and I'd like to try upgrading to something newer but can't afford the prices of brand new. I can find lots for sale online at good prices but would rather buy something that I can see in person... -
Arrow not breaking the spine?
Has anyone hit a deer in the spine with an arrow and not had it break the spine - dropping right there? I shot a whitetail doe this morning, 15 yards broadside, the hit looked a little high but definitely behind the shoulder blade. The Wierd thing was the arrow only appeared to go in maybe... -

Broadheads hitting left only at longer distances?
Just switched over to my broadheads and getting my bow sighted in for them. Everything is dead on at 20 yards but when I back up to 30 or 40, they’re hitting to the left. My sight doesn’t allow left-right adjustment of individual pins, only the whole bracket. What else can I do to correct... -
Snowies cow elk
Definitely not looking for anyone’s secret spot or anything. I just moved to Lewistown from the west side of the state this spring. From the searching I’ve done I know most of the elk around the snowies are on private by now, however most of the posts I’ve found have all been from people with... -
Antlered doe
This whitetail has been hanging around my backyard all fall and I’m about 99% sure it’s an antlered doe. Has little spikes even smaller than you’d expect on a yearling buck, maybe 2” long. Always has a fawn with her. I’ll be interested to see if she’s still around next year if those antlers... -

Leupold warranty service time
Leupold scope that I’ve had for many years developed an issue this fall and I had to send it in for warranty repair/replacement. My tracking number shows it was delivered to them on December 14th, but I never heard anything from Leupold to confirm they received it. I emailed them with the... -
State Trust lands regulations
When hunting on state trust lands in MT, does anyone know the specifics of the rule regarding how far you must be from houses. In the regulations I found this: “• Firearms may not be discharged within one-quarter mile of inhabited dwellings or outbuildings on state trust lands without... -
First elk
Ever since moving to Montana from Michigan 5 years ago I have been trying very hard to get my first elk. Harvested plenty of deer and had some close encounters with elk, but no success (until now). During rifle season last year I found a wallow here in northwest Montana that I went back to... -
Attaching Euro-mount to plaque
Just shot my first elk a couple weeks ago and took the head to a beetle place for a European mount, should be done in a few months. In the mean-time I’m wanting to start making the wooden plaque to mount it on. How does everyone attach their euro mounts to the plaque? Thanks- Bhoesl
