    Feeling discouraged.

    When I found the fresh sign, I followed it along the ridge to an area of thick-ish timber and found all their beds. They were empty. Haha I stayed at the top of the ridge about 600 yards from where I found the sign for almost 8 hours and didn’t see a thing. That’s what led me to think I was...

    Thank you for this. I was letting the pick of seeing anything cloud Th fact that I did in fact enjoy my time out there. This state has so much beauty to find if you just get out there.

    Feeling discouraged.

    First day I was there about an hour after first light. I knew that was too late, so second day I was back in the same spot at 5:15am. Almost 2 hours before first light. Still found the poo but no animals. I can understand how some might see this post silly, but I am not discouraged about not...

    Feeling discouraged.

    I definitely do not have to kill something to have a great time. It is possible to have a good weekend but still be discouraged. I saw some of the prettiest country I have yet here in Montana. Saturday I didn’t see another person for almost 9 hours and I loved it. Just discouraged that I...

    Feeling discouraged.

    As the title says, after a few months of research and picking brains, I am getting discouraged. Spent the last 3 days getting close but just not seeing any elk. Hell I haven’t even seen a deer for that matter. Been high, been low and everywhere in between. I know the area I am hunting has elk...

    Thanks Ben

    At this point there isnt much left to wash. And if it involves food like that, wash away. Haha

    Thanks Ben

    Just want to send a giant thank you to Ben Lamb for inviting me over to give me some pointers on elk in the area. Super generous, and that meal was amazing. Thanks again for your hospitality. P.S. I need to come back over with my actual camera and get some better shots of those beautiful guns...

    Buying used, good or bad?

    I'm looking to get into bow hunting but I want to practice for a good long while first. My question is, is buying a used bow a good or bad idea? I have found a few good used bows (a few years old) complete packages with sights, arrows and stuff for around $200 shipped. I feel like starting...
