    Pistol carry with Mystery Ranch Sawtooth

    I appreciate the feedback! I looked into the drop leg further at your suggestion and am glad I did. I had no idea. I ordered the UBL from Safariland. It just came today so I haven’t had it in the woods, but initial impression is that it will do the trick! Thanks again.

    Pistol carry with Mystery Ranch Sawtooth

    Running in to the same issue with a MR Metcalf. I use a Safariland OWB Paddle holster, but it won’t attach to the hip belt of the pack and I haven’t been able to find anything that will work (funny you mention the MR holster out of stock - try being a lefty and find one! Lol). Why do you hate...

    How young is too young?

    I've been taking my boys with me since they were 4. My wife and I took our oldest camping when he was about 8 weeks. No such thing as too young. But like Ben Long said, be prepared to alter the plans and remember that it's more about fun with him, than hunting for you. It's more about the M&Ms...

    Backpacking with a neoair

    Tent floor and bed of my truck both, and backseat of the cab come to think of it. Never any problems and probably 40 nights.

    Michigander Greenhorn Survival Tips - Custer Gallatin

    This. This is absolutely no joke at 9,000 feet in the Gallatins. Severe weather moves in over the mountains in a hurry. I was hiking to an alpine lake with my family in the Gallatins last summer and we got caught unprepared in a hail storm. Literally huddled together for warmth under a fir tree...

    new binos vs. spotting scope

    Thanks. I was going to PM, but maybe people browsing this topic in the future will find the answer helpful. What's the difference between the B.2 and the B.1? Browsing Maven's site it looks like the only difference is size: 8x and 10x vs. 9x and 11x. I'm all over the C.1s if that's the way to...

    new binos vs. spotting scope

    Thank you all! As usual the help and advice on here is outstanding! I have Nikon Acculons. They're not bad, but I've used them to glass for muleys and antelope and I definitely have some frustration at times. As I learn more and do the research I think I can articulate that frustration as...

    new binos vs. spotting scope

    This question has been asked in some form a few times already, but in searching the various threads I haven't been able to find the specific advice I'm looking for. A friend and I both drew archery elk tags in the Missouri River Breaks this year. It's his first western hunt and my first "big"...

    Whats the word on Montana's quail?

    Forgive what I'm certain is a stupid question: You can hunt them, but not transport or possess, so how can you eat them?

    Best prices on tires in SW Montana

    I'll second Tire Rama in Bozeman. I run the motor pool for my organization and Lane at the downtown shop has always treated us very, very well on routine maintenance stuff. I can't say I've ever done an exhaustive cost comparison of tires in an effort to save a few bucks, but the cost...

    Dad/daughter trip in Montana

    This right here. A very wise man once told me, when it comes to parenting, the days drag, but the years fly. As frustrating as it is sometimes to hunt with my boys it's time together, in the field, with no damn tablets or phones. And it. Is. Awesome!

    MT Region 7 Intel

    Thanks guys. 406Life, I live in Bozeman, so I'm excited about seeing Montana! :D The fire perimeter layer in OnX is awesome! I had no idea that existed. Thanks for the pointer. Also, when I said I wasn't looking for GPS coordinates, that didn't mean I wouldn't take them. LOL!

    MT Region 7 Intel

    I drew 700-20 and 700-30 tags in Montana this year and am hoping someone on the forums would be willing to share some info about conditions over there. My boys (10 and 6), wife, and I are going to burn a week of vacation to camp (them) and hunt (me and maybe the oldest) this archery season, but...
