What to do with a wolf?
Opportunistic while mule deer hunting in the backcountry. Was over 9k feet elevation in October a few years ago.- daltrix99

What to do with a wolf?
I did a rug and it means more to me than any other mount or trophy I have! There is personal meaning to that beyond the aesthetics of the mount itself, but it is stunning in person, and massive. It draws more attention and fascination from guests than any of the elk, deer, pronghorn, or bear...- daltrix99

2026 Sheds
Whitetails here in western MT still holding as of this weekend - at least some bucks I saw -
Daines Senate Seat 2026
I plan on supporting Seth Bodnar if he indeed runs. What do we know about his public land / conservation positions? I haven't looked too close yet. -

Public Land Photos from 2025
Sony A1 with a 300 f/2.8 lens. I think I’m trading that lens in for the new 50-150 f/2 this year.- daltrix99

Public Land Photos from 2025
Wildlife and outdoor photography has always been a major hobby of mine, but it was separate from hunting, something I did on dedicated non-hunting trips, and during the 'off-season', mostly because I never wanted to lug heavy camera gear on hunts. Last year I decided to suck it up and just...- daltrix99

Bad Guides and Experiences
Not me but this last season a friend of a friend paid $60k for a guided stone sheep hunt. Guide(s) put him on what turned out to be a sub-legal ram that he shot and killed. Obviously cannot harvest / keep any part of the animal. No refund. Hunter was told 'this happens', and he is not welcome...- daltrix99

Joshua Tobey’s KUIU Ram sculpture cut down by thieves at KUIU headquarters. Link below.
Joshua Tobey on Instagram Huge bummer all around here, mostly (to me) because Tobey is an incredible artist, and this was a masterpiece, as is much of his work. Devastating that something so beautiful would be cut down by these low-life scum, likely for the scrap metal value for their junkie...- daltrix99

2025 gear game changer- wows!
- Floor liner for my tipi tent (was always just sleeping on the ground) - high quality hand saw (silky pocketboy) upgraded from something cheaper - Sig Sauer zulu6 HDX pro image stabilizer binoculars. INSANE and worth every penny. Sold my old vortex razor’s to help cover the cost.- daltrix99

Most overrated band of all time
A lot of legitimacy here but also some absolutely unhinged responses. The goobers who typed Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd need to step outside, have a glass of water, and reassess their worldviews. Of everything I've seen, I agree with Springsteen the most. I'll surely rock a few boats by adding the...- daltrix99

Mike Lee's Ammendment - Sale Of Some National Park Lands
I think Lee's motivation would matter, because in theory knowing his motive would better inform tactics and strategy to effectively combat his efforts. No, I would not feel better if he is ideologically driven, because in my opinion that is a tougher challenge than overcoming an effort driven...- daltrix99

Mike Lee's Ammendment - Sale Of Some National Park Lands
A couple quick comments and questions: - from a cursory read it looks like this amendment only applies to DOI / NPS lands, so not FS / BLM land (for now)? - I heard Ryan Callahan say he believes Lee is motivated by religious and philosophical ideology, possibly more so than by money and...- daltrix99

Montana 2026 Elk Proposal
Emailed my support to my commissioner and will continue to be vocal in my circles. This is a win-win for public land hunters and conservationists in Montana. Shout-out to Big Fin and HT for amplifying the proposal, and it’s important to highlight the positive impact of a forum in this case... -

Legendary Day in Idaho
Should have updated this thread a long time ago, but I picked up my Wolf rug from John Hayes in Libby, MT this last Spring! He did an unbelievable job. Some notes - this was an exceptionally large (for the northern U.S. Rockies) and healthy three year old male. He was 100lbs whole. John told me...- daltrix99

Missing CO Hunters
This is awful news - condolences to the family and friends, and RIP to a couple of solid young men and hunters. Lightning is a constant concern for my crew as we hunt high elevations every September here in Montana and Idaho. We had a sketchy close call years ago as a ripper of a storm rolled...- daltrix99
