    Jason, let me know how you like using Flickr. I'm definitely going to have to do something different.

    Take that PHOTOBUCKET!!!

    Well since Photobucket is currently suffering from major brand damage and has taken down pretty much everyone's photos, here is a short little video my fishing partner put together from my trip to northwest Montana. Hope you enjoy it. https://youtu.be/g_cV-lqs3Fk

    Over The TOP off Season FUN!!!

    Life is Montana is GOOD!!! It's been an absolutely unreal few weeks since summer started. First off on Memorial Day I crossed paths with this bruiser. Then last week I got into some of the best fishing of my life in northwest Montana. Real solid wild rainbows from the Kootenai River. An even...

    Another dad gum rifle caliber question.

    I've owned all kinds of magnum rifles. However when all the dust settles I reach for my 30.06 more than any other rifle for big game. I've killed everything from jackrabbits to large bull elk and monster sized black bear with it. Rarely does it require a second shot. It's about as perfect of a...

    Show us your catch? FLY FISHING Thread

    My oldest son showing me how it's done with a nice Montana rainbow. Despite his persistence in trying to convince me I need to fly fish more I've yet to convert. He sure is good at it though.

    Show us your catch? FLY FISHING Thread

    While I am an avid fisherman I just can't seem to get the fly fishing bug like some many others have. I've caught some fish while fly fishing, but as of yet, it just doesn't light my fire like fishing with marabou jigs does for me. With that said, here is the very first brown trout I ever caught...

    Butte Montana Living

    Butte is pert near in the mountains. It's not in the prairie. If you enjoy fishing as much, or nearly as much as hunting, Butte is very close to some outstanding fishing. All within 2 hours or less.

    Butte Montana Living

    Bottom line, life in Butte on your worst day would be better than your best anywhere in PA. You can't even begin to comprehend how much better until you've lived in Montana a few years. Nuff said.

    Thinking about moving out to CO

    That right there is funny and soooo true! I agree with the others that Golden is a good place to consider. My last trip to Golden illustrated in the photo below. :)

    The One Ruger 77 with a Good Trigger

    Sorry about that. I guess I should have mentioned that this particular rifle is in 22-250. I shoot 55gr Hornaday Vmax Superformance. It kills coyotes dead, but sometimes isn't the most fur friendly round. I've heard that the 40gr Vmax in the same load is much more fur friendly, but I haven't...

    The One Ruger 77 with a Good Trigger

    First off let me just say I'm NOT an overly big Ruger 77 fan. Aside from making really crappy barrels for many years (they have solved that issue), their triggers are horrible. I can't stand the standard trigger on any of the rifles with two exceptions. One is the Target model with the heavy...

    WY Deer Waste

    Montana changed their laws a few years ago so we can salvage road kill. I haven't read anything in the paper or heard anything on the news about any increase in poaching in relation to the change. More than half the time the animals are so busted up it isn't worth the trouble to mess with...

    Pedestal mounts

    Here is a buck that a friend and I mounted for my oldest daughter. It was her first buck and a pretty decent buck at that. I wanted it to be something a little more special than just a standard shoulder mount on the wall. I like pedestal mounts and have several wall pedestal mounts as well. [IMG]

    Hello From North Central Montana

    Thanks guys. I love hunting the Breaks too, but this particular mule deer was taken in the Little Belt Mountains. The bear was taken down in southeast Wyoming. Below are some eastern Montana Break's bucks from the last time myself and some friends hunted eastern Montana.
