35 Whelen 180 TTSX
Bob Wards in Missoula had some 180 grain Barnes tipped TSX in stock so I bought four boxes. I’d rather shoot the 200 grains, but until I can get started reloading, I’ve gotta make do with what I can buy. Anyone shot these out of a Whelen? I’ve got a 22 inch barreled Remington 700 that I’m...- MNHunter67

First Bear
I was fortunate enough to get my first bear this year. Once of the best parts about moving to Montana is the opportunity to chase bears in the spring. I grew up in Minnesota and the longest shot I had ever taken was about 125 yards on a deer. So the 225 yard shot I took on this old sow was a bit...- MNHunter67

Which brand of lighted nocks?
I’m planning on switching to lighted nocks this year and I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations or horror stories about particular brands. I’m currently looking at Nocturnals, Lumenocks, and Firenocks. Are they all pretty similar? Any advice is appreciated!- MNHunter67

I hunt in Northern Minnesota...- MNHunter67

Cabelas has the Sig Kilo1250 on sale for $200, and my local sporting goods store (Scheels) has the Leupold RX 650 on sale for $150. Does...- MNHunter67

Broadhead Accuracy Issues
I made the switch from field points to broadheads (Muzzy MX-3s) in my last practice session to get ready for the season. They were all over the target, whereas I had been very accurate with my field points. They mostly flew far left and low at 20 yards, but a few were high. Nothing resembling a...- MNHunter67
