    Finally! My first Pronghorn!!

    Thanks for all the positive replies! I'm pretty jacked about it! Festus-That buck was killed in a second choice unit so I'm still building points! Tons of antelope around...ill keep trying to draw a premier unit and hunt every year for bucks like that one. A-5- I have the worst luck with...

    My 5yr old is going to be a spot-and-stalk killer!!

    Drew a region Y tag this year and planned to rifle hunt it. After 2 scouting trips we found a basin that was loaded with bucks but was pretty accessible. So I bought the archery permit and made sure to make it down for opening day. I took my dad and my 5yr old son Corey. It was a hunt scripted...

    Finally! My first Pronghorn!!

    I've never really had the opportunity to hunt antelope and after moving to Billings in March i knew Pronghorn would be my first priority. I drew a second choice tag in Wyo and drew the archery tag in MT. Due to work obligations I couldn't make it opening day in Wy but had yesterday and today to...

    Eastern MT residents?

    I was near Terry today. A little mud here and there but overall nothing that any truck can't handle. Never needed 4wd.

    Quiet Outerwear (pants)

    I agree with Fin. Sitka mountain pants are the best. If your looking for quiet waterproof pants, Cabela's MTO50 or RainSuede are tough to beat.

    Doing an Idaho Elk hunt, DIY/public land style!

    MNElkNut, Love the updates. Keep them coming. Good luck on the upcoming hunt, I wish you the best. For the stove, I personally would look at getting something like an MSR Pocket Rocket that takes Isobutane-Propane. Much lighter and will only cost about $45 for stove and fuel at your local...

    Kryptek gear

    The new Kryptec camo pattern looks a little weird on the shelf, but in the field works extremely well in most conditions. Their is actually a little more green and shadowing in it than you think so it will work well in darker timber conditions. Depending on what garments you are looking at, it...

    You can use your cabela's points for anything you want-at retail, online, or from the catalogue. You can also use them in conjunction with other offers. Have fun with the new toy!

    AZ Elk father and son hunt!

    Well, after 10 years of applying together my dad and I finally drew arizona elk tags. Unfortunately, we did not tag the bulls we hoped we would, but we dont get to hunt much together anymore and we did have the HUNT of a lifetime, even if we didnt tag the bulls of a lifetime. I could write a...

    Full Moon Elk Hunting

    I wouldnt worry about it either. full moon/new moon; if the elk are left fairly unpressured, they will still bugle during the day. I killed my bull on September 11th this year, in 85 degree temps, during a full moon, and he and two other bulls bugled all day long. I have noticed that no...

    Badlands 2800

    I have seen a lot of love for the MR packs on this site, but I dont have any personal experience with them. On the other hand, I own the BL 2200, 2800, and 4500 packs. I love the 2800 for a day pack but even hauling out a front shoulder is a little unfcomfortable, but not bad. It is my normal...
