Which Meat Grinder?
Curious about which meat grinders people use? I have used the Cabelas 1hp in the past and it seems to work quite well, but it is sold out and now it appears Cabelas has a new model called the Carnivore. Has anyone had any experience with this grinder? Also looking at the LEM, any advice would be...- MHMT

Laziness Pays Off
Last Saturday it was finally my turn to be the shooter, or so I thought. Kara and I hiked up a ridge where we had seen some elk the night before. We didn't see any elk near us but did spot a nice bull still with some cows about 2.5 miles on the other side of the road. They were miles from any... -
Kara's First Bull
Despite the opening day mayhem, my girlfriend and I spotted one lone bull opening morning and watched it disappear into a small patch of trees. We made our way over and sat in some rocks above the trees in the evening. Somehow the bull actually read the script and walked out right before dark... -
A Good Weekend
It's been a whirlwind season so far, bouncing between school, work and hunting, but Kara and I have managed to make it out most weekends. We gave the elk hell in archery season when we could, but never quite connected. We did manage to kill a lot of grouse though. Last weekend however, we... -
Bridger Mule Deer Movie
I am planning on making a short film that discusses the mule deer trends in the Bridger Mountains in MT. In the film, I would like to have opinions/ideas from reputable biologists/hunters/landowners/other people of interest. I want to explore ideas of the various groups, whether they think... -
As if an elk 1/4mi from the road wasn't enough
I was lucky enough to have two good looking girls haul it out for me. -
Math is hard... Montana Drawing Odds
I have a question for people who are good at math and are familiar with the Montana detailed drawing statistics spreadsheets. Please correct me if I am wrong at any point. Going into the special permit draw, bonus points are squared, so (looking at the detailed drawing odd spreadsheet) if I...- MHMT

Velvet Mount Questions
I was hoping someone may be able to help me out with a couple of questions about getting my velvet mule deer shoulder mounted. I did not drain any blood, or inject anything into the antlers, but I did put it in a freezer about 20 hours after it was killed, where it still is. Also, while packing...- MHMT

1st Elk, 2nd Deer
This season has been amazing to say the least. It was really nice to be tag-less at the beginning of rifle season this year so I could focus on helping my girlfriend, Kara, get her first elk. Didn't have a lot of time for scouting, with starting a new job and helping a friend scout in his... -
...2013 season continued
After my seasonal job ended I had a little time, and was able to stay out for five days straight to try and put something on the ground. It's kind of funny I ended up getting this bull, as two days previous, the only elk I had seen was a lone raghorn that I had devoted all my time trying to... -
My 2013 Season... so far
Archery opener started out rough for me with some close calls on several bulls, one of which was about enough to make me cry. I called in beautiful 330+ 6x6 to 20 yards, I was at full draw but he was straight on. I held back longer than I ever have, I started to shake, went light headed and... -
Elk shoulder mount
I recently got my 2010 bull back from the taxidermist. It is not the original cape because I didn't have enough money to pay for a shoulder mount at the time... and because I am stupid and didn't save it. But, I did keep the cape off of my 2011 bull and used it instead. I took Greenhorn's...- MHMT

Bugling in June?
Has anyone ever heard elk bugling this time of year? I was working down by Gardiner this week and heard several different elk bugling. I have heard of young bulls half halfheartedly making noise but one bull kept bugling like it was the rut, and heard different one sound off a couple times. One...- MHMT

Sage-grouse and black-footed ferret video
I went up to the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge last weekend and saw a sage grouse lek for the first time and spotlighted a few ferrets, helping out with the spring survey. Got some cool video. http://vimeo.com/39908979- MHMT

Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goats
Just curious of what others think about this. http://www.idahostatejournal.com/news/local/article_229ccf16-5adc-11e1-a244-0019bb2963f4.html Has anyone ever noticed a displacement of bighorns due to mountain goats? or does anyone think introduced mt. goats would have much of an effect on the...- MHMT

Boone & Crockett
I’m sure plenty of you know this, but I thought I’d share it anyway. Until recently I didn’t realize how much influence the Boone and Crockett Club, and it’s members had to do with conservation in North America. Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold are two of the guys who I have learned plenty...- MHMT

To spend time with family... and kill birds. Got a chance to head up north and spend some time with the family for the holidays and do some bird hunting. Some on private land, some on block management, some on public. A few of Ruger doing what he does best. A buddy and I got access...- MHMT

2011 Rifle Elk
Towards the end of archery season, I became aquatinted with a certain herd of elk. They stayed in the same drainage and I found them every time I headed to the area. Late in archery season, most of the elk I was hunting were not receptive to my calls, so I decided to hunt this herd spot and...
