    Need excellent quality hunting clothes?

    After reading numerous articles, and watching videos from a guy named Clayes Hayes, who did Survivor, I came to the conclusion I needed wool clothing. What sold me was "keeps you warm even when wet". I did searches and ended up buying a few Pendelton shorts and sweaters. And finally, I found a...

    Meopta Optoika6 Experience

    Anybody have experience with these scopes? How well do they hold zero? Are they like a Leupold in terms of holding zero? I have a pair of Cabelas 10x42 bonus I bought 20 years ago. They were made by Meopta and rebranded by Cabelas. I found out how good the glass was out in Montana last year. Was...

    I don't wanna spend a fortune, something around $100 would be best. NO CHEAP CHINESE SHIT THAT CLOGS UP OUR LANDFILLS! That may be a lot to ask these days. I have 3 new (to me) rifles to sight in in 300 win mag & .338 win mag. Any suggestions? How about the Bushnell Boresighter? Are there any...

    Just bought a NEW/Never Shot Browning BAR Mark 3 in .300 win mag. Got it a week ago and finally around 4 boxes of various bullet weights in hunting bullets.

    2023Ammo Shortages, Here We Go Again

    Saw a video on Youtube predicting 2023 ammo shortages, so I decided to see what is available on Federal's website for premium ammo, mostly the widely popular calibers. I counted 40 different bullet types only across say 8 calibers. So it's here already. I ended up buying 3 boxes of .30-06 that...

    A Great Montana Steakhouse

    This is a blatant plug for a Montana steakhouse I had the pleasure to find. It's called the Mussellshell Steakhouse in Martinsdale, MT. I got the 14 oz NY Strip that had the best flavor of any steak Ive ever had, including some of the best steakhouses in New York City like Gallagher's, Ben...

    Dumb Question

    I got the combo tag this year. It only has one deer tag. Am I only allowed to shoot one deer? Either a mule deer buck or any whitetail. Is that right? I thought I would be able to shoot an elk, a mule deer and any whitetail. Thanks

    Is the price of gas hindering your out-of-state or in-state hunt plans?

    Here in New Smyrna Beach gas hit $4.75 for ethyl. Non-ethannol at the marinas is around $5.50-5.75. Just curious.

    Re-Checkering

    My dad's old Browning Auto-5's checkering has been flat-out worn down and sanded down. Is it possible for a checkering expert to re-checker the stock with the same checkering? I know I could get a new stock for it, but that is out of the question. If you do what I'm suggesting, even if an expert...

    Hunt Elk in the rain?

    Im trying to prepare for my first (hopefully) elk hunt in Montana this coming Fall. How many of you hunt elk in the rain? If so, how hard does it have to rain before you just stay home or in camp? Will elk patterns be about the same? How about strong wind? Do they just hunker down? Same...

    Camping on NF

    In National Forest or BLM land, can you just pull over and camp on the side of the road, or even go into the forest a quarter mile and set up camp? What about fires, of there aren't fire bans in place?

    Luxe Tent

    Be careful about dealing with this website. I had to call my credit card company to cancel the purchase. No returned calls, no returned emails, no communication, no way to cancel. Should have checked reviews before putting in an order. A number of bad reviews on Trip advisor similar to my...

    Excellent Venison or Elk Recipe

    If you're like me, you get more fish or venison then you have recipes. Living here in Florida, Ive gotten to the stage where I love to fish for grouper and snapper and tile fish, but am sick of eating fish. I hope we catch a blackfin tuna on Friday so I can eat some fresh sushi. Anyways, here's...

    White Sulphur Springs elk hunting

    I hope to get a tag in 2022, and had some questions for all you experienced guys for the WSS area. I picked this area because I'm 67, in decent shape, but probably can't take the altitude. I plan on getting up there in mid to late Sept to get used to the latitude and also do scouting. I've...
