Been sitting on this for a while- since the middle of May. As a long time Tikka shooter with zero issues I decided that I’d try a different manufacturer in the 6.5 prc. Mainly because Tikkas were hard to come by when I was looking and I’ll be honest, the Waypoint is a nice looking and great...
Disclaimer: This is the story of my goat from last year, and my buddy’s goat this year. I didnt really know why I didn’t feel like giving a little write up about it last fall, but it worked out great because we had the same story happen again this year.
Here is that thread -...
Figured I’d share a little recap of my goat hunt. I drew a tag in a place that is one of the harder areas to find goats in In the state. Put in a pile of miles scouting, with the goal being just to turn up a mature billy. Couldn’t ever find a mature billy before season, had a hard time just...
Draws for the big 3 are out. Drew a mountain goat tag for this fall. Gonna put a wrench in my plans to guide sheep this fall but I’ll take it. Anyone else get any permits?
So I received a garmin inReach mini for this past Christmas and it has sat in the box until yesterday. I let it charge all day and tried to get it going last night. The Problems-- I couldn't get it to turn on. It would "flash" on but then shut off almost instantly. I tried the "soft...
I'm headed out to Winthrop, WA on Friday to see my parents for Christmas. Dad says theres a fair number of coyotes running around out there. Looking around on the google, it looks like you need to buy a small game or big game license in order to shoot coyotes?? Is that true? Any other things...
Hey guys, I’ve gotten a couple people asking to hear the story of my elk season this year. Heres the long recap of it. I don’t have near as many pictures this year, but it was a short and sweet season. Away we go.
Opening day rolled around on September 1 this year. Justin and I headed out...
I'm sure people will be reading this and thinking that I'm an idiot for asking this question, but I really don't care. I'm a bowhunter, emphasis on the "hunter" part of the word. Not much of an archery tech guy. Give me whatever bow, I just go hunt and shoot stuff. But as of two days ago I...
Contemplating trying out a bivy. Don't need anything too robust. I just run my bag and pad under a megatarp, but am thinking about picking up one of those two bivies or something similar to run when I don't feel the need to set up the tarp. Mainly needs to keep the bag dry from dew, or late...
My 2017 elk season started back in April this year. With 15 points going into the draw I finally came out with my first choice of an elk permit. Not only did I, but so did my best friend Justin. With a couple years of watching elk in this area, I was ecstatic to say the least. Phone calls to...
While we are waiting for the phoneskope winners to post (Yeah you Jon), I thought I'd post a few bulls I've picked up through the phoneskope this summer. Its been super smokey here, so I'm having a hard time glassing them up clear let alone getting pics of them. These are all public land, but...
Just a link to what I thought was a pretty good video on YouTube I found. Takes place in the NWT. Mods can move, delete or whatever; I don't care- just sharing because I liked it. Its been a long winter here in MT and fall is really on my brain lately!

Lighted nocks win FWP approval for archery hunting | Local | missoulian.com
Anyone have thoughts or think it's worth updating your knocks to lighted knocks now? I have thought that they were a great idea for years now, and couldn't see why FWP kept them illegal to use this long. My thoughts...
Thought I'd share some pics of some of the coyotes we have killed this year... at least the ones we have good pictures of. Just getting started hunting them this year, as last weekend was the first time all winter I've made a stand. Haven't been seeing quite as many as last year here but they...
It has been a good past couple seasons for mule deer for me. I haven't shot what I'd consider absolute studs but I'd shoot them all over again. Here's some pics of the deer I shot with my bow last fall and then a pic of the deer my buddy shot this year that I was able to help out with. I've...
Wondering if anyone has been using the new Vortex 85mm. Would love to go get a Swaro but I just couldn't find funds for that. Curious if the new Vortex has any noticeable improvements over the old one now that its been around for a fall.
Posted one picture in the buck thread of this years buck but thought I'd share one more. I took my fiancé out opening morning but due to chores we didn't get out until 8:30 and the orange army was everywhere, so we only hiked a mile and a half into the BLM before we decided to stop. We spotted...
Good luck to everyone heading out chasing elk around this weekend. This is the first time since before I was old enough to hunt that I haven't been looking for elk on opening weekend and it SUCKS!!!! With a new job, 6 weddings I had to attend this summer eating up a lot of vacation time, being...
September 13th has been super kind to me. In years past I have killed a very good whitetail with the stick and string, as well as my first black bear on the 13th of this month, with a bow. Today I shot my best mule deer to date and did it with my bow. This is my first Missouri Breaks muley...
Time has come to get a new, or at least another, rifle scope. My current set up is a tikka 300WSM and on it I have a Burris Fullfield II. I got this set up in '06 and it has sure treated me nicely. I like the ballistiplex crosshairs and my gun has taken a ton of animals for not only me, but...
