    What has actually quit on you in the field?

    I almost didn't get a shot at a nice blacktail on Kodiak due to a rusted up firing pin and bolt internals on my custom Model 7. Found a deer and got all set up then pulled the trigger and nothing happened. Like nothing. No noise or movement in the rifle. I laid there frantically trying to make...

    Oregon Blacktail advice

    Hey all, Thanks for the input so far! I'm not trying to hijack the thread because I'll be hunting with the OP Kimbersig. Just asking for some more info to guide our decisions. We have a choice of going the second to the last week in the south coastal units or late archery in the few units...

    I know it's not a sheep but I drew NM IBEX!

    I actually prefer to do that hunt solo! But if I were paying non resident cost and I could afford an outfitter that would definitely be the way to go. I killed one in '17 and it almost made it to a place that required climbing gear before it died. He ended up on the very top of one of the domes...

    NM Aoudad

    Stick to the draw. There's way more sheep in the draw units than the OTC. If you don't draw and still want to go then buy an OTC and go glass.

    Show me your sheep rig

    My "everything but Coues" sheep rifle. Custom 7WSM on a Remington Model 7 action, lone wolf stock and Nikon Monarch 2.5-10. It has become my go to rifle. Accurate, sub 7lb scoped, enough energy for elk at 500, and built by yours truly!

    I know it's not a sheep but I drew NM IBEX!

    Congrats on drawing an awesome tag! That mountain can eat a guys lunch for sure. I think I ran into some guys from South Peak then some from G3 in January and they seemed to know their stuff. That hunt is probably the only hunt you will ever run into a guy carrying a bow and another guy next to...

    Hey guys, sorry I haven't been active in here in a while. I started a new job in Montana and have been extremely busy with that, moving, and fishing every chance I can! I'll go clean my inbox now.. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

    Santa Fe National Forest closure

    I wouldn’t fret too much. It usually starts raining in there before hunting season! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Drew 1st rifle in unit 49 NM

    I've hunted 49 a few times. Yes the atv traffic will be heavy but if you get off the roads you can find elk. Send me a pm and I'll get you some info. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

    Dillon, MT Bow Shop

    I'm looking for input on bow shops in the Dillon, MT area. Are there any in town? I was told there was a good one in Rexburg, ID. Is it worth the drive?

    Moving to Dillon, Montana!

    It's great to hear so many positive comments on a place! The family is excited for all the adventures to come. I may be reaching out to a few of you when I get up there if you don't mind helping a new guy get off in the right direction. Troutbum, do you realize most of the outfit you're wearing...
