    Little Crittergitters First Bear!

    With the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks putting a rule in place that allows 10 year olds the opportunity to hunt bears with a mentor, there was no question what Braden wanted to spend his time doing this spring. We both knew that finding much time would be difficult being in full swing of...

    A montana moose!

    Well, this is certainly a little late but figured better late than never :D My buddy Zach (Fiver) drew a montana moose tag this year and we got to spend some time on the search for the swamp donkeys! I'm not going to draw out a big story on it unfortunately, mostly due to being tired and...

    Kids and an Elk

    Well, this will be a quick story:) Fiver and I decided the last day of season we would stroll on out into the bitter cold of Montana and drag 4 of our kids with us to see if we could find a freezer topper. More of a day to get the kids out just to be out, if we got really lucky and actually...

    2015 MT Buck

    Well, not a lot to tell on this hunt, pretty short and sweet. After last weeks hunt with Greg and having a great hunt, I figured I'd go out again with all the buck rut activity we saw. I sent ol Lawnboy a message and told him to pack his stuff and lets go deer hunting for a few days. Course...

    MT Deer Down

    Interesting how this one came about. Since I whittled away my elk tag in September, I made a commitment that this would be the year I would find myself a nice mule deer in MT. Since I've been a whitetail guy most of my life in Western Montana, I figured its time to look for a big muley. Well...

    Big Montana Double!!

    Well, after going to Kansas and scoring big on his first deer ever, I told Braden he would have a hard time finding a deer that caliber in Montana. Of course, when the youth rifle season arrived, he would prove me wrong. And not only would he prove me wrong, so would his buddy Tate……. Tate and...

    First MT Loper!

    The annual antelope trip to eastern Montana was great as always! This year was a little more special because Braden and Dustin got to bring Tate with us. Tate’s dad Zach had planned on joining us on this trip but he drew a very coveted Montana moose permit which we all agreed would take...

    Couple MT Archery Bulls

    Archery hunting is by far my favorite way to hunt elk. Hearing those September bugles in the early hours as its gets light is tough to beat. Although it is my favorite time of year to hunt elk, the past 4 years have presented other opportunities for me to be hunting somewhere else during the...

    Braden's First Buck- Best Hunt To Date

    When the April 24 deadline came to apply for youth hunts in Kansas, I decided to phone a buddy in Kansas and ask him his thoughts on applying Braden for a youth hunt down there. He said that I had better do it and come on down if he drew, he would help us get lined out on some deer. At this...

    2015 Bear-Good Start!

    For over a year now, I've been haunted by the missed opportunity I had in 2014. One of my dream hunts for an Alaska brown bear started so smoothly but a missed opportunity and weather problems, I came home empty handed. We all know that's part of hunting, but those things don't leave your mind...

    A great elk hunting book

    I'm not much of a book reader, except for the nightly bedtime stories with the kids, but I came across one recently that I wanted to share with all the people on here. What a great book! I read it cover to cover when on my Alaska moose adventure. The author, Bill Sansom is a friend of mine...

    A Montana Mtn Goat

    Well, this wasn't my hunt, I just went along to help out. I ran into this guy in town this summer that I know from our church basketball leagues. He said 34 years of applying, he finally drew a Mountain Goat tag here in MT.! I told him I would try to help out if I could carve out some time in...

    First MT Buck!

    I had the absolute privilege of helping out one of my best friends' boy this weekend in filling his first Montana buck! My son Braden and I called up Tate (Fivers son) and asked if he wanted to go look for a deer Friday morning since they were out of school. Fiver had a huge work project due...

    Well, one of my favorite hunts of the year when I actually have a tag in my pocket. This is my set hunt of the year where its me and the boys headed out to chase speed goats with a great friend of mine in eastern MT. Unfortunately, we didn't find any big ones this year, in fact, very few goats...

    Ok, I've literally been harassed to the breaking point by a few of why I haven't posted the moose trip yet. So, this is gonna take a while, but I will get started:) For most of my life, Alaska Moose has been at the top of my list for hunting adventures. My good friend Harold had guided for an...

    Looking for Double Tree Stand

    Anyone in the Bozeman area or near vicinity have a double tree stand they find they aren't using much?? I have a good buddy here that is looking for one to take his kids out deer hunting this fall. None of the local stores have any in stock so thought I would throw an inquiry out to the hunt...

    Another MT Black Bear

    Well, it's tough to beat the epicness of the hunt talk 2014 hunt but mothers day was bad day to be a bear for sure. Cody and I were going to run up and visit the hunt talk crew but just couldn't quite make it fit with work and other stuff. We did manage to find the last hour of the day to run...
