    Archery guide suggestions - MT, WY, ID, CO?

    I'm starting my research now in order to hopefully get a guided hunt for next season. I've heard numerous times here and other places that getting a (good)guide can usually shortcut some of the learning process, answer a lot of questions and connect some dots a little faster than DIY. One of the...

    Beginners luck

    Surely everyone’s heard about or experienced the fabled “beginners luck” at one point or another. I was just reading a thread over in the elk forum that got me thinking about it. I’m not one who believes luck. I like to think there’s something logically explainable going on rather than some...

    First time elk hunter in Idaho

    Planning on picking up an Idaho A tag and hunting archery this year. I’ve seen the idea that some zones are more “beginner” friendly but it’s mostly in older threads and not sure of the current relevance. I had thought about Salmon or Beaverhead but at 12 hours away I think trying to go for a...

    Missoula area spring bear

    Hey guys - I have some questions on specific areas around Missoula - would one of you who has experience hunting spring bears in the area be willing to shoot me a PM? I just want someone to run a game plan by and level my expectations. Thanks in advance.

    Brook Trout(and possibly whitefish) in Western Montana

    Hey guys, For the past few years I've taken a trip to Montana every summer. This summer, it's going to be over 4th of July week. I typically fish most of the trip, and have some spots that I always visit. I typically do catch and release. This year, while I'll visit those other spots, I'd love...

    Stove options

    So I’ve got a dilemma. I’m stuck between two types of stoves. This is for a 12x14 wall tent. On one hand, the nu-way stoves seem nice. I really like the idea of the smaller footprint and the ability to have it on instantly, and likewise off instantly. No worrying about gathering wood or...

    Elk Hunting in Idaho - newbie

    So, its looking like before the year is up I'll have an Idaho hunting license due to hunting spring bear there more than likely. I really want to get out and try chasing elk this year. I would prefer to do it during rifle season. If I'm lucky enough to get an opportunity on one, as long as its...

    WTS: Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44 MOA reticle

    Lightly used. Bought early last year, great scope and glass, just a little(lot!) heavier than I need and a lot of features I don't use. I'm trying to lighten up my rifles and simplify my setups. I also have the sun shield. Asking $470. Open to offers - BUT - not interested in lowballs. Please...

    Leupold vx2 vs Vx3i

    So I'm looking for a scope for a new rifle in 257 weatherby. I have a vortex and some nikons in my safe currently but want something simpler, and for lack of a better word different. I was looking at the Leupold vx2 4-12x40 and Vx3i 4.5-14x40. The concern I have is low light performance - is the...

    Idaho Spring Bear in Reduced Areas

    So, its entirely possible I may do spring bear in ID instead of MT. I know I'm going to hit one or the other... its just a matter of funds and seeing how that pans out. Anyway - I know that reduced tags are available in a handful of ID units. How is the hunting in these areas? Would I be better...

    Yet another Montana Spring Bear hunt thread... I apologize.

    Hey guys, So I just found this forum, and browsing through there is a ton of info. I guess I'll have to add it to yet another forum I frequent(and make my wife a little madder in the process;)). I notice there are a ton of threads on spring bear hunts in Montana, and admittedly I haven't had a...
