    Vortex TTSX, if only.

    I went out today and sighted in my rifles. A 270 win and 7mm Rem. My 270 really liked its new factory swift scirocco2 130s. My 7mm mag, which shoots 150 core lokts well, did not care for the 150 ttsx. I really wish it didm. As I do like the ammo. But it would shoot two close only to throw...

    Success = Meat in the freezer!

    Went out hunting this morning. About 8,000 feet up. Was trying for a cow elk, but the animals were late up the drainage. We saw a decent forky buck, but his body was not that big and some does moving up the drainage. After seeing them we ran up the clearing and sat by some pine trees. We...

    Might hang up the bow

    I have had a tough archery season. I have either been running into people, bears, or whitetails. Not much elk. I am having higher hopes for rifle season. With only a day at a time to hunt I have found it too difficult to pattern elk.

    Finally found good sign and a spot to my self.

    I went back into the unit about 10 miles by forest road. It took over an hour to make it up the washed out road. When I arrived about 500 feet of elevation above the snow line I decided that any further was useless with all the snow. I waited until 30minutes before sunrise to leave the...

    The thoughts of a first timer.

    Hello, I apologize if this gets a little long winded. I am cutting my teeth on my first season of western hunting here around the Bozeman M.T. area. Due to school and work I only get a day or two a week to hunt, but these are my experiences and thoughts after the first few weeks of season. I...

    Montana AG land lease.

    I have found some state land that is leased to a farmer for growing crops. The lease is only for surface rights to plant crops so I am guessing the state still holds the power to let hunters on to hunt correct? I did contact the right officials, but have not heard anything yet.

    Recent scouting trip

    A few pictures from a recent scouting trip. Easy logging road to walk the first mile or two then the last mile and half the trail got thin and elk sign got thicker. Only two weeks away.

    Elk scouting success. So I think

    I went for about an 8 mile hike, there and back, scouting for elk. At about 2 miles from the trial head I started to see several sets of deer tracks and elk tracks, even found 3 old elk rubs. After the trail went from a decent logging road to a single track horse trail at best, about 2.75 to 3...

    Bozeman rifle range?

    I just moved here and would like to start shooting my rifles. Are there any decent rifle ranges that I can shoot out to 3 or 400 yards close to Bozeman, or do the folks around here just head to the nearest BLM land and set up a target? I don't mind paying a little for a membership.

    Eminent Domain

    With all the issues in the west of inaccessible public land why have no western states used the power of eminent domain to grant access? States out east and in the mid-west have done it for years for far less convincing "public" interests. You would think that in states that have such a large...

    Odd request.

    I am going to law school and will be unable to do an out of state hunt until fall of 2021. Luckily I am either going to go to Denver or Missoula for law school in order to hunt in state all three years of either Montana or Colorado. I would like to set my self up with a good, but affordable...

    Looking to buy a pack

    I am looking to find a used, but 100 percent working, hunting pack. I am not stuck on any brand in particular. I would like to keep the price under 300 as I am a college student moving to Bozeman the first week of August. I have looked online, but am somewhat confused as to what I need. So I...

    Montana Land Question.

    So, while e-scouting I found some promising lower elevation river bottom and surrounding flat that might prove to be a great white tail spot come November. However, Onx maps lists it as University of Montana land. Is that the huntable to the public? There are some buildings on the land and...

    Montana Unit 301

    Hello folks, I know this is treading on taboo territory so I ask it only with respect. I have found some promising areas on google earth for elk and mule deer in this unit. I was wondering what are some things to expect with this unit? I am betting heavy that hunting pressure, especially...

    MT license question

    Does anyone know when Montana sends out their license and tags via the mail? I was awarded my big game combo, but have not received anything in the mail. My profile on the website still has all the permits successfully drawn and actively "held". Thank you in advance.

    Leupold VX 3i

    I just mounted a new vx 3i to my 7 mm remy and sighted it in. I noticed when on high powers 7 through 10 the scope was a little fuzzy especially on the bright colors of the target. The vx3i is clearly brighter than my Nikons but not as crisp at high power. Any ideas if I am missing an...

    Norma factory ammo.

    I have been shopping around for ammo to use in my Tikka 7mm rem. I was looking at Norma factory 154 grain Oryx protected point. Anyone have any experience with it? I have not seen much for that load on Elk and deer. Before I dump 50 to 60 bucks on a box of ammo I would like to know what...

    X bolt trigger.

    I have an xbolt in 270 that I love. It shoots really well. Like, scary well for a stock factory rifle. Anyway the one disappointment on the gun is the trigger pull. its rigjt around 4.8 to 5 lbs. Too heavy. I end up wondering when the $#@% is this trigger going to break then it does. It...
