    Haha! Two premium tags is a lot for me when I also have a decent guiding schedule, and a baby due in December!

    Montana 2025 draws

    I drew a goat tag with sub 1% draw odds. Already drew a deer tag with less than 3% odds this year. Anyone know a good marriage counselor?

    MT Mule Deer Age data accuracy and reality

    1) Couple dozen 2) I’ve had half dozen checked at Augusta Check station 3) FWP has always done teeth wear aging 4) most animals I’ve brought through Augusta that wasn’t skull capped was aged (hasn’t always been consistent aging compared to what cementum aging was from the same deer)

    Not on Your Bucket List

    No desire to hunt and kill the dink mule deer everyone kills in Eastern Montana. Africa also does nothing for me.

    Had a good day sneaking away from work. The biggest antler is a few years old, but I’ve walked with it 100yds of it half a dozen times the last couple years.

    The Gen Z Law Regarding Boomers For Off Season Sake.

    For what it’s worth on today’s work force, I am a millennial, i do most of the hiring for the company I work for. I have a job posting out now for a seasonal position that will likely turn into a couple full time positions with benefits (ie health insurance, retirement, cell phone, company...

    Why do you like your gaiters?

    I prefer Kuiu or OR. I’ve had several pairs of each, I can’t get any to last more than a couple years, and are usually held together with electrical tape by the time I toss them.

    Write offs as Hunting Guide

    Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?

    I think it depends on the size of the area, but the best option is to just get up earlier than the rest, and get there first. I had a situation last year, with a spot in the backcountry here in Montana. There is a specific point I love to glass from, where you can often catch elk crossing, I...
