    E-Scouting Master Class from Treeline Pursuits ***Updated 7/6/20***

    The course is not 100% complete yet, but only a few specific, but very important modules remain. I'm in the middle of recording and editing now. I just posted the Beetle Kill Module this week. The Covid mess put me behind a little..... As a small thank you, the two year membership does not begin...

    E-Scouting Master Class from Treeline Pursuits ***Updated 7/6/20***

    Thanks so much for the kind words. It's nice to see so many experienced elk hunters getting a few E-Scouting nuggets. I knew I would get no BS reviews on this forum. Thanks again, and please let me know if you have any questions at all.

    Self Dehydrated Meals

    I made the leap to go to all dehydrated meals this year. I bought my own mylar bags from Sorbent Systems (Impak). They can be used with a vacuum sealer on the bottom and they even have the tear off zip lock top like the MTN House does. They are super nice and easy to use. I got the vacuum...

    Possibly moving west ???

    I moved to Montana this past year.. It really sucks here. No elk, no deer, just wolves and to many hunters... Colorado is where it is... :o

    The Best Backcountry Snow Shoe

    Thanks Guys, that was so awesome... I was thinking about the Atlas Montane 35 and the Lightning. At least I was on the right track. That is good stuff, I really appreciate it. It's time do do some wolf control, but I have to get back there.

    The Best Backcountry Snow Shoe

    I've been looking for new snow shoes. We are getting a lot of snow in Montana this year. There are big differences in the types and uses and I understand the size recommendations for weight and etc.. I'm looking for advice on the best shoes for serious backcountry use. Just about any will work...

    Best Value

    When you start talking packs it always gets a little controversial and personal. Backcountry guys are so committed their packs. They should be and that is great. It is certainly one of the most crucial pieces of gear you can have for the backcountry. I would tend to put boots first, but pack a...

    Horses - A Burden or a Blessing?

    I have to agree with 406, rent the Llamas. Just this past year elk hunting in Wyoming, we ran into two guys walking out leading two horses in the rain and mud. They told us they had packed in 7 miles and when it was time to come out, the horses they rented would not carry anything. They had to...

    Hand Me Down Elk Spot

    The 380 pic was awesome.. Yes, there are a lot of great bulls in there. I was in that unit on a depredation hunt in August. The bulls I saw were incredible. Problem is as a non-resident I think you have a 1% draw chance with 5 points... Montana is a bonus point state so mathematically you have a...

    Late season Mule deer

    What elevation are you guys trying to focus on... From what I've read on some hots spots seems to be around 4-5K.

    AZ OTC mulies

    I'm heading down January 5th for week to 10 days maybe more. I'm looking forward to trying Arizona and will be nice break from the Montana winter. I've been researching both units 27 and 20. I'm bringing my FoxPro Shockwave along too. A little deer hunting in the rut and predator calling sounds...

    Late season Mule deer

    I'm heading down January 5th... for a week or 10 days, maybe more... I have found that "sometimes" if the deer bed early in the mornings they will get up and move pretty soon after. If possible I would try to glass them into their mid-morning bed, they seem to "sometimes" stay in that bed longer...

    Are grizzlies a concern in the bitterroot?

    There was a griz that took a cow elk away from a bow hunter this year down in the big hole area just south of the root. They have not seen griz there in a very long time, but it seems they have arrived. You just have to be on your game, honestly blacks can get pretty darn nasty sometimes to. I...

    AZ OTC mulies

    I'm planning on going down for my first time this year. I just moved to Montana this year and it has been an amazing year. I'm going to try to cap it off going down to AZ for the last season archery deer hunt. I'm planning on a week to 10 days just after the first of the year. It may end up...

    Hunting in grizzly country

    AK Troubbum, I hope I did not miss this in the thread, but how long does it take you to set it up... Do you normally set up remote spike camp or bivy hunt and camp where you end up and setup and take down everyday.. Thanks in advance

    My First Montana Bear

    I love predator hunting, so calling just makes sense to me. I know it can be a little risky and you have to very careful, especially solo hunting. It was a rush for sure, especially blind calling, which is much harder and not as effective. You have to keep your head on a swivel for sure. Bears...

    My First Montana Bear

    On day one I did not have a ton of success finding a lot of bear sign and the glassing visibility in this area was not great either. My previous research on Google Earth did show some nice log out open areas. Once I arrived and got into the area I found they were a little grown up and not very...
