    First Deer, and a thank you

    Wanted to post an update regarding my girlfriend following my earlier questions. I’ll post since she’s not on here, but I do have her permission. She decided to hunt with my family in Missouri. Whitetail in a tree stand, so not spot and stalk, but a hunt nonetheless. This followed tagging...

    “Thank you” Card for non-BMA landowner?

    With the topic of Montana making it easier than ever to thank a landowner for allowing access via the BMA program, I was wondering- what would you do for a landowner that allowed you to hunt without BMA? Ran into one randomly last year while chasing pronghorn by Billings, and my dad and I...

    Missouri Squirrels

    August. Hot, humid air filled with cicada song trapped under a thick canopy of vibrant greenery. Clusters of long, broad hickory leaves overhead add to the feeling of standing in a tropical rainforest- as if sweating at dawn wasn’t enough. And yet I’m reminded of October- its cool mornings...

    Historic river access on Gallatin closed off

    Friend of mine sent me this article this morning. Essentially, the public has been using a specific access point for over 100 years, then rich out of staters buy the place and try to block the access. The traditional access is, in fact, barely on private land, and no good river access remains...

    Schnee's Sale

    Pretty good sale right now. The 0g Beartooths are down to $305 (~35% off), with several others marked down a fair bit. I love mine, and their customer service is fantastic. Thought I’d pass it along in case anyone has been waiting on a sale, or is in the market for ridiculously good boots.

    Trash Fish Tuesday

    Had some fun this past weekend with fish that like canned corn even more than trout. They’re big, they’re plentiful, and they put up one heck of a fight. I’m talking about carp! Lots of carp! From a muddy river near you! Shamelessly caught, harassed, and released with the finest...

    TopRut Draw Odds???

    Going through the last-minute application motions here. Since I have the OnX membership, and that includes access to TopRut, I thought I'd use it. Could be a very friendly interface, but with a fair amount of confusing data, and maps that don't work as intended (maybe they're not integrated with...

    Next hunting rifle- caliber for a suppressed build?

    I have a Ruger American in .308- it shoots great with 165gr Barnes Vortex, and I love the results. However- I got a chance to hunt with a friend’s suppressed .300 Mag, and I think I’m in love. With suppressors, that is. Which means that my next hunting rifle would preferably be suppressed...

    Gianforte’s Budget Steals Marijuana Dollars from Habitat

    Saw a post from BHA on this. Essentially, he’s not even following the amended law that reduced the funding after HB701 was passed. And I don’t recall the reduced funding getting any press. Then Gianforte decided to attack the journalists who reported on it. More info below...

    Elk processing- French rack?

    Hypothetically speaking- if you could get an elk out whole, would you try to keep a section of loin on the ribs for a standing rib rack/frenched rack? Purely hypothetical, of course.

    Wish Me Luck

    A friend had his weekend open up, and really wants to go chase elk this weekend. So instead of going solo halfway across the state, I decided to go hunt with him. But with the weather, he wants to sleep at home in Bozeman instead of camping out. And that means hunting areas I haven't done much...

    Montana Huns & Sharpies- Tips?

    So I've been doing a lot of reading, watching, etc., and figured I'd just come out and ask the folks here- what are your tips for finding sharpies and huns in MT? Situation- my dad is coming out for a visit, with a rifle antelope tag in hand, in an area I've seen both huns and sharpies in the...

    Duplicate post- let this one die

    Friend shared this with me today. Buckle up- I have a feeling this could get ugly.

    Found wall tents in the area I'm E-scouting- abandon ship?

    Title says it all. I'm going over some maps, trying to figure out where to deer hunt this year, and saw something odd on the satellite photos. Closer inspection shows it to be a pair of wall tents- on a good flat knob overlooking a couple decent drainages, and right on the path I'd be taking to...

    Solid Broadheads?

    Looking for an affordable broadhead that will hold up to shooting targets, grouse, elk, trees, rocks behind grouse, etc.- and that I can sharpen & hone back to a razor edge for hunting after all that. I'd like to get away from having to keep separate heads for practice and hunting, always...

    Let's start with yesterday - I got a limit of eater walleye with a couple extras for the table. Crankbaits up shallow are one of my favorite ways to catch fish, and it's just a fun way to get a mixed bag- there are a couple nice perch hiding in there. And one heck of a bonus walleye- think...

    Procrastinators, unite!

    As I'm laying there in bed, I remembered I hadn't put in for my MT antelope tags. So with the adrenaline rush from that panic, I'm now posting here and re-evaluating my priorities that kept me putting this off. With any luck, I'll draw a B-tag in the same unit as my dad (NR), and we'll get to...

    250 spine Arrow shafts?

    Starting to run low on arrows, looking to add a little weight to my next batch. Which means I need to step up in spine a little bit. Currently shooting 70# @ 30", with 300 spine arrows at 442 grain total weight. I'd like to get up to 550gr or so, and that means inserts or big broadheads, which...

    Wild Game gaining popularity/acceptance?

    Just ran across this series that was posted on an Anthony Bourdain fan page- it's not Bourdain, but another well-known food personality- albeit he's given up his usual gimmick of eating whatever nasties he comes across. "Andrew Zimmern's Wild Game Kitchen"...
