The idea of home-owner's insurance was debated by us at the store too and I am in agreement, but there are conflicting stories between Leupold and the consumer. Apparently none of the firearms were damaged in the fire. None of the wood-stocked rifles were damaged or disturbed in the least, so...
Question for everyone:
I work at a gun store in Northwestern Montana and (I love my job) we had a customer come in with an odd situation. He had the unfortunate experience of going through a house fire. This gentleman is a devoted Leupold customer, with many of their products in his possession...
Randy, I watched both episodes and thought they were great! I even rewound it a few times and hollered at my wife to come into the room to watch too! Needless to say, dinner took a few minutes longer, but it was worth it. I live in the Flathead and we see plenty of what the wolves do up here. I...
Okay guys, I'm pretty sure I got the official verdict on what those tracks were! My 10-year old and I were out today and spotted a couple of cubs scurrying up and down a tree, Momma was at the base of the tree feeding on grass and other greens.
Turns out, Momma was a HUGE black bear. She...
d-bone, I know what you mean. I do the same thing with people who hunt moose. The chances of drawing a tag here in Montana are the same as winning the lottery and a date with Carrie Underwood in the same day, so I live vicariously through others!!
Dang guys, I must have the worst luck of anyone all year. I've been out more times than I can count and I've only seen one! A small Griz at that. Someone's gotta tell me their secret. I'm thinking I'll have to rub bacon grease all over myself in order to get something to come in so I can shoot it!!
Every hunting experience seems to go better when the kids are along! Nice bear, congratulations! There's a hunt that both of you will remember for as long as you live!
7MAG, I've been doing the same thing since the day I saw them! drahthaar, I haven't been up there lately. I might go tomorrow, but I don't know what time. If you see a white suburban up there at any time, it'll be me! I've got three days still and I want to get one with my bow so bad! I don't...
Here's a picture of some scat we came across. I know it's not horse or cow. There were two piles within 25-feet of each other. Both were still steaming!
You know, you don't have to be right! You're the one who sent me out there in the first place! LOL. I didn't think you'd send me after a Griz! I want a LEGAL bear, not one that will land me in prison!!
I don't know guys! I'm frustrated. I want it to be one animal, but I'm afraid it might be another! If I didn't shave my head, I'd be pulling my hair out right about now! I honestly don't know what to say about it! I'm just going to have to bring the wife and her fancy camera along and sit on...
What about this?

It's showing a crease in the hind foot, but if I'm correct in assuming that the top picture is a hind/front combination, the crease from the hind foot could be around the same area as the rear portion of the front foot!! Maybe I'm trying to...
In the first picture, with my knife next to it, it seems like it would come out to being around 13-inches long! The picture of the front paw with my knife, appears to be only 6-inches or so wide. I'm convinced that the prints that are in the first picture are a front and a back, one on top of...
Help me make sure I'm not seeing things too. Is there two footprints, one on top of the other, in the first picture?? I think I'm seeing two, but I want to make sure that someone else is seeing it too!!
I came across these tracks with a friend of mine today in an area another member of this forum suggested I try. At first, I thought the footprint in the 'Bear 1' picture was just a hind foot, but the more I look at it, the more I'm seeing two. Tell me if I'm seeing things or if this is a really...
I have the Strelok Ballistic Calculator downloaded on my Android-Compatible phone. It's nice and portable and it works pretty darn well too! I can save the data in there for different rifles, different optics, loads and so forth!! I like it!
