Southern Elk
Well-known member
This old southern boy needs some advice. I will be hunting in SW MT for elk in November. This is only my second time to not hunt archery season. Hunting in September, I never saw the need for chains. Last year in early November I found out that I couldn't get to some of the spots that I wanted to, because I didn't have tire chains. I actually borrowed a set of chains from a friend who said they would fit, but they were too small for my tires.
Anyway, I have a 3/4 ton 4x4 Chevy with a Duramax engine. I will be hunting in the mountains. I think I need more of a snow chain than mud chain, if there is any difference. Please recommend the type of chain that I need for my application. Where's the best place to get them? Do I need to chain up the front and the rear? I know I need a set for the rear, because the lightweight rear end tries to slide sideways in snow and ice.
