Ouch, worth a shot anyway. Beattie Gulch is likely THE spot, especially for packing back to the truck, but not the only spot to find one. I am defiantly on the lookout for a local to keep me up to date.
I'm not tech savvy enough to find the "goose egg" gif, as that would about sum this hunt up so far.
El Nino sucks big time.
Bison haven't migrated yet, and seem very content in the park.
We will be here though the cold snap so I still have some hope.
I am already planning a return trip.

I had the great fortune to draw the MT bison 385-20 tag this year. Our group is heading down to Gardiner in early January. It appears that the unit is 99% public, and from my research Beattie Gulch seems to be a hot spot to say the least. If anyone has any experience, advice, or even local...
It is the dream for sure! Where are you from? The new member (FNG) thread is like a rite of passage. My only advice is to stop waiting and just do it. If that includes moving, start saving now. I also in good faith as a Montanan invite you to move here haha. If you do live in this wonderful...
When I broke the news to my Dad that I was moving to Montana full time (not just for work) I also told him I was looking to buy a pickup. My first car had served me well in Wisconsin, having access to side by sides and other pickups for my hunting needs. But I knew MT would be a totally...
This fall has been the best hunting season I have had since moving to MT seven years ago. The season began with mild waterfowl success. Antelope was a blast, getting together with my father-in-law and brother-in-law, we were able to fill 4 out of 6 tags in one day. I was able to fill both my A...
The stock on my short action Savage Edge cracked tonight, looking for a replacement, let me know if you have anything. Its an Edge, but if I understand right the Axis is the same action, just a different name. TIA
Magnum primer, this is a compressed load by the way. My seating depth is 2.85, longer than a standard short action will accept, so if going all the way up to 44.9, start low because it will be a more compressed load.
Also, I did end up taking three animals this fall with this load, all pretty...
