    Looking for someone with a whitetail doe problem in southern Alabama

    I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I'll try anyways. I'm currently stationed on Fort Rucker in southern Alabama and I'm trying to help a friend and fellow flight student get his first deer. Unfortunately, hunting on post is pretty high pressure and the rifle doe season closed very early...

    Vortex Rifle Scope Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP

    Still for sale. Will include custom anodizing on any aluminum rifle components you may have (Talley rings, bolt knob, bolt shroud, thread protector, etc) in any color just to sweeten the deal. I have a few raw aluminum bolt knobs on hand if you don't have one.

    Wifes First Bull Elk! 2017 in Colorado!

    That is kickass, congrats to your wife! But I'll echo the bafflement on dragging...hell, I didn't even drag my antelope doe this year and I could see my car a quarter mile from where she went down! Gutless quarter and on ice fast for everything means you get sweet meat and don't have a bunch of...

    Vortex Rifle Scope Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP

    Selling my lightly used Viper PST rifle scope, excellent for long range competition or hunting (used very successfully for both). Works extremely well, I am just replacing it with a higher powered version of the same thing for very long range shooting (1000yds+). Does NOT include scope rings, I...

    Greetings from Montana from a former city gal

    I grew up in Plainfield, my parents still live there. I'm sure my husband is similarly amused at my transformation. I hunt more than he does by far. Though it helps that I am my own boss and can move my schedule around to accommodate hunting season. ;)

    Waiting on the bulls?

    I'm not too scared of the snow after my husband's mountain goat hunt a couple weeks ago. I now know that I'm capable of breaking trail while packing half my body weight nearly two miles in thigh-deep snow. I might look like a tiny 118lb lady, but this hunting thing is making me tougher than I...

    Greetings from Montana from a former city gal

    Thanks Pointer, I sent you a PM regarding the anodizing work. Always happy to do fun projects for folks, but I don't want to turn the thread into an ad for my business. I'm an advocate for bright colors on hunting rifles, just because it's way more fun and interesting. All the camo, drab...

    Waiting on the bulls?

    Welp, I've suckered a buddy of mine into doing some serious winter camping in here this weekend. I'm curious to see how the 1-2ft of snow we've gotten will affect things, but I know it'll be a crazy fun time regardless. As I heard once on an episode of the Moth podcast, "You either have a good...

    Greetings from Montana from a former city gal

    Thanks for all the warm wishes and welcomes, everyone. Yes, I am lucky enough to call Brian Barney a friend, I never listened to the podcast we recorded together so I can't comment on the listenability of it, but he's an incredible hunter and human being and father. His wife is a badass, smart...

    Greetings from Montana from a former city gal

    Oh yeah, I run an aluminum anodizing shop....so I can't resist making things custom colors if I can. I occasionally shoot competitions with my hunting rifle (6.5x47 Lapua) so I'm replacing the floorplate with a detachable mag bottom metal soon - that'll end up bright orange too! :cool:

    Greetings from Montana from a former city gal

    I've lurked on this forum for a long time, but figured I may as well start posting! I am fairly new to hunting, having started in 2014 with an antelope buck. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and had no exposure to hunting whatsoever, then came to Montana for college in 2007, graduated in...

    Waiting on the bulls?

    I Google Earth scouted a new spot for elk a couple weeks ago, then finally put boots to ground last Saturday. It was better than I expected, saw a group of at least 25 elk immediately (a long ways off) but by the time I got all the way up there, I only glassed up a few spikes and cows as they...

    Women that hunt - Need more resources please

    It's nice that you have a group of women that you can lean on and discuss things with. I guess I have never really looked around for a community of women because I was a paraglider before I started hunting (there are FAR fewer female paraglider pilots than there are female hunters) so if I...

    Waiting on the bulls?

    SW MT hunter here. I've been spending some time hunting an area that I scouted on Google Earth, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was as good in person as I'd hoped while doing the research. It's an insanely steep approach (over 3000' elevation gain in less than 1.5mi) that seems...
