    Agencies announce decision to restore grizzly bears to North Cascades. I guess this makes it official

    I doubt adding grizzlies to the north cascades will have much of an affect on the ungulate population. There are so many black bears it might help the ungulates if the grizz thin the blackie population a little.

    Why do people "tape" their scopes?

    I haven't noticed any. I actually use something that is like vet wrap that is camo. It's $6 for 6 different colors. I throw the snow camo on in the winter and random during the summer/fall. It seems tackier. I have wrapped from the end of my suppressor to my action and haven't had an issue with...

    Why do people "tape" their scopes?

    I apply it to my coyote rifle on the scope and barrel. IDK if it helps keep them from seeing a glare when I'm swinging on them but I doubt it hurts.

    It'll be interesting how it plays out. There are so many hikers/backpackers in the cascades. I would guess once the population is established there will be a lot of conflicts.

    Hatch or MDT Cykepod triple pull

    If speed is important go with the Ckye pod. If weight is important go with the Hatch. There is a reason guys are spending close to $2k to piece together a hybrid triple pull lightweight for comps.

    Best gloves

    The best thing for warmth I have found in cold temps is a super thin liner and a mitten. I've used different liners like merino Sitka liners, etc. I've used this type of combo to -30* ambient and have had zero issues.

    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    It's especially interesting since at least one archer has died recently from a muzzy hunter in Colorado. I don't know if the archer wearing orange would have helped or not.

    Garmin storage

    I think that’s what I’m using. Fits perfectly.

    It was to point out the inconsistencies.

    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    Colorado requires rifle/muzzleloader hunters to wear orange. But they don’t require the archers hunting the exact same place, at the exact same time, for the exact same species to wear orange.

    What size spotter for spring bear?

    I’m a big glass guy. I pack a BTX/ATX/95 for deer and elk. All 3 pieces are heavy but worth it to me. I wouldn’t worry at all bear hunting if I only had the small Vortex spotter. I would probably only get it out if I was trying to judge a bear.

    Up in smoke

    Dang sorry to see that. I think you have until August to get an 80% refund on the kids elk tag in Montana. If you can swing the deductibles and trailer cost from your savings, I would bet you can get enough free/loaner gear to hunt this year. I have lots of gear and I’m close to MT...
