    MT Deer draw odds 2004

    Was digging through some stuff yesterday and ran across a copy of 2005 MT hunting regs. I think it was around 50 pages front/back. Somewhere I know I have a copy from 1992, but can't find it. The current upland/turkey hunting regs are thicker. Anyway, thought this was pretty funny. I don't...

    MT CWD positive?

    Maybe this has been asked before, but the carcass in the dump thread made me wonder... If you have a positive CWD animal you can get a replacement tag. At what point do we care about how many extra deer are being killed? At some point shouldn't it just be tough tiddies, sorry the animal you...

    Caribou - Lets See Them!

    I think caribou are one of my most favorite animals to hunt, and often overlooked due to the perception they are easy. The opportunity to hunt them has dwindled more in the last 10 years than than any other animal in NA. A true monster bull is far and few between, and the days of migration hunts...

    Same Bull?

    I can't say I've ever seen anyone post a picture of a caribou bull from one year to the next. I've looked at 1000s of caribou over the years and they are all unique but all somewhat the same. I am not sure how much different they are from year to year for antler growth. These two pics are half a...

    Shooting in B'more

    There was a mass shooting event in B'more yesterday, and I'm wondering how many of you have seen anything in your news feeds yet. I know there is bias in the news, but this is just beyond my comprehension. Don't search for it, or google will find related searches for you. This thread may even...

    Mountain goat hide coat

    Would you make a coat out of a hide? I mentally broke, and agreed to go on a goat hunting next month. I don't have room or really a desire for a goat mount. I've always thought that a coat would be cool. Might make a grize hide I have into one as well or maybe mix/match one. Any other...

    Couple new ones back from Taxi

    My taxidermist dropped off my 2019 and 2020 rams last week. We're both slow on getting things lined out, and after tannery lost one of my capes, I needed a replacement, so. I used my 2021 ram (with scar on his nose) for the lost cape. My guy is about to hang it up and retire, he's only here...

    Alaska Sheep woes

    Some of you may be following what's happening up here, but for those that don't know. Sheep numbers in AK are worse off than MT mule deer. Its estimated that we have maybe 50-60% of of the sheep we had 10 years ago statewide, some areas its even worse. The winter of 2012 and again last year in...

    Old Friends and Big Moose

    My long-time friend (more like a big brother) from MT came up to go moose hunting this year. We haven't spent a lot of time together or hunted together in a couple decades, but we picked up right where we left off. Fun times where had, moose were chased, and stories told. We saw more moose along...

    WTB Quality frame pack or hybrid

    Looking for a Barney's or Kifaru frame, maybe a MR if it's the newer taller version. Need a spare for packing moose antlers and quarters. Anyone have one they don't need anymore? I may have some reloading or shooting supplies for horse trading.

    How many deer tags

    How many deer tags can a NR "native" get? I'm curious. I presume an A tag and ? 5ish doe tags? What if the NR has a youth? I'm trying do my best to help you hit rock bottom. My best estimate is 12 combined.

    Drone vs airplane

    Has anyone considered why a drone is "unethical" to use for hunting, but an airplane which can haul you, your gear and has a range that far exceeds a drone, is ok to use for spotting game? I'm not talking about using a plane to access areas, I'm talking using it to spot game. To me the plane is...

    Closure of Caribou and Moose hunting in NW Alaska - again...

    The relentless pursuit of closing all hunting in NW Alaska to non-locals will continue forever due to the current management structure set up for federal subsistence. The closure proposed earlier this year was tabled until the next meeting and more information was gathered and reviewed. info...

    This one time at sheep camp

    Legal rams where hard to come by this year. We saw the fewest by far of any hunt I've been on. We covered a lot of country this year and I pulled one out at the bottom of the ninth. We saw this ram last year the day of before the season opened. And again this year the ninth. I didn't realize it...

    YNP - Setting a precedence?

    Maybe this has been beaten to death, but... After seeing the lady get charged by the feds for taking a picture of a bear, and the "charges" they are sticking her with, makes me wonder if they plan to enforce these same regulations for all wildlife in the parks, or if its just bears? This is...

    Best bear cartridge

    The wife and I are headed out next week to rescue some antlers and shoot some antler eaters both brown and/or black. Can't decide what rifle to pack. Shots could be upclose to maybe 300 yards. I have the spectrum covered, can't decide on light or heavy. Shot my last brownie with the 308. Have...

    Caribou Hunting Ban?

    Tyler did a good job on this article. Anyone that wishes to hunt in Alaska at any point in the future should take heed, and should also send in a comment. This type of closure could happen on any federal land here... And did just a few years ago in unit 23, but they opened it back up. With the...
