The evidence is overwhelming on the side of bear spray when it comes to situations like that. If you're in bear country you should have it ready at all times on the hip. You guys did good to use that spray instead of trying to be the super manly man and shoot the bear. All that usually does...
Thats good to hear! I assume the rivers you're talking about are ones running through the mountains?
Side bar are jackrabbits good eats? done plenty of cottontail in my day but we didn't have big jackrabbits.
I'm definitely more of a meat hunter as it is so doe tags are perfectly fine for me. Most of where i hunted whitetail growing up we weren't allowed to shoot bucks. Never hunted grouse but it seems to be pretty popular right now. I've talk to 2 guys that came through work today that are doing...
I didn't think about bunnies! that might help with the grocery bill! although i don't have a .22LR anymore. sold it for a .300 blackout upper. wouldn't be much bunny after that!

I'm in Belgrade working in bozeman. Can i get a deer B tag as a non-resident without it costing a fortune? I'll actually be able to buy resident tags the second week of november
Nice to meet all you guys! Coming from Kansas we're big time whitetail and waterfowlers so i've definitely been on the prowl. i'm in Belgrade right now. Workin in Bozo. I agree just being out here even without a tag is far superior to not being out at all. its all 80% scouting anyway right...
New member to to forum here. Just moved from Kansas to SW Montana in May. Seems like a great place to get to know some Montana hunters! So far i haven't had much luck looking for coyotes (since i'm not a resident yet its really my only hunting option at this point) I'm also terrible at fly...
