I honestly forgot I posted this and it’s been a wild fall, thanks for the reminder!
I bought some game cameras and used them for the first time while summer scouting. This was a fun experience in itself and a little bit of a learning curve, but glad I have them now. I tried a few different...
Bow with judo broadheads. I’ve thought about packing a .22 pistol during rifle season just for grouse, but don’t like the idea of making noise while hunting elk.
I don’t worry about it. I throw them somewhere on my pack, try to keep them out of the sun. You can breast them very quickly by stepping on their wings and pulling their legs, then you could throw them in a ziplock bag maybe and put them inside your pack.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw I drew a moose tag in SW Montana, not far from my home in Missoula.
I’ve been diving deep into research both here and elsewhere and will be speaking with the biologist, but would love to discuss privately with others who have hunted Shiras.
Thanks!
Fwp did not take a position. I’m not aware of RMEF making any statement on the bill. One of the representatives did mention he heard from a lot of constituents and not a single one supported the bill.
I’m glad Ben feels it went well because to me, it felt like the opponents arguments fell on...
Harvest data 100% affects management, which affects quality. They can see sales and make phone calls and use check stations, but the sample size is far too small to be meaningful to manage for the population of hunters that we now have. There are multiple places I hunt where I don’t have to...
Thanks for putting all this information together! I do find it very interesting and important for us to evaluate, but to be honest, I’m less interested in license sales and more interested in ACTUAL harvest data. Every chance I get I’ve commented to fwp to use better reporting and I would like...
This was my first time out as an archery hunter. I decided to try a new spot in the bitterroot that’s a little too busy for me during rifle season just to check it out. Was 45 in the mornings and 75ish during the heat of the day (though it felt hotter) so nowhere near as bad as others...
Beltian White holds a special place in my heart so will always be my favorite. Live in Missoula now so get to drink a lot of great beer. Bayern and Draughtworks are my favorite, but most of the locals are good. Big sky is my least favorite but still better than the national beers.
I use a Seek Outside pack and couldn’t be happier with it. One of the main reasons I went with them is they are one of, if not the, lightest on the market. Outstanding quality and customer service.
I worked for Mills Wilderness Adventures out of Augusta, MT for a season in the Bob and can’t say enough good things about the Mills family and their operation. It is a true wilderness experience so not for the faint of heart, but they take great care of their clients, employees, stock, land...
I used Copenhagen for about 11 years, quit when my son was born almost 5 years ago. I used Hooch Snuff (https://hoochsnuff.com/), which is a fake tobacco product. It was the only one that was remotely close to cope (not the same but closer than the competition). Highly recommend this brand, its...
