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

    Alberta got rid of the orange law years ago, the number of incidents did not go up, and over time declined likely due to the hunter education requirement. Having been involved in a few investigations involving hunters being shot there tends to be a complete idiot factor to most of them. Like...

    Elk salt licks

    I hunt a fair number of ranching land that has mineral and salt out for the cattle all summer and fall, and would agree they quit using them before september when bow season opens,

    Badger fights to the death.

    Pound for pound they are tough, but to kill any decent sized black bear seems a bit out of the norm, one dog I can see, but our farm dogs would go at them every so often and fair ok. But not sure how they would kill a bear. There's a few videos of guys catching them by hand alive, so long as...

    Matthews Z7 developed a limb crack

    I have an LX from 2004 i believe, limb cracked due to a incident when the string jumped the cam. Mathews still covered it and sent new limbs 4 yrs ago, still like shooting it and as a back up bow. So why not get it fixed, newer isn't always that much better.

    Incidental predator call ins while elk hunting

    Have had the odd grizzly come in, only once hot, we stood up to check behind us and had one running in direct to cow calls, after yelling at him he stopped at 40 yards and diverted into the bush, big bear thankfully he didn't keep coming.

    Alberta Outfitter Problem

    Police report won't help much, it would be considered a civil matter as it does not meet the criminal definition of theft or fraud, and once you agree to a deal on payment back it makes it tough to go that route, but small claims court would be the way to go. Always a risk with new outfitters...

    What insect repellent in bear country

    Been around grizzly bears all my life, have never heard of bug spray being an attractant, seen them licking bear spray up after it was sprayed on an area, but your scent and the last meal you ate are going to be as easily smelled and could be an attractant. Don't worry about the bears, sometimes...

    Concerning rut trends, is the rut changing?

    Hunting pressure has a lot to do with the rut behavior, the same patterns have been occurring here in alberta as what everyone else reports. But here we have a large national park herd that sees little pressure and only the bulls that leave the park risk being killed, but there is no archery...

    Necessary items in your truck

    Best thing i have learned is the ranchers cell phone number, he rolls in with the tractor scoops it in the bucket and back to hang whole lol. Yes i have quartered out and hauled for miles, but since hunting ranch country have learned one can haul them whole, including that bull in my profile...

    Canceling a bighorn hunt in Alberta

    The ministers tag for Alberta sold for $375000, someone must believe there is a 200 plus ram left in the province for that much cash. Although i see it is a year long tag now, maybe a February survival type hunt makes it more attractive?

    Stolen Trailer from Escondido CA. Cash reward

    May help to say what state and area it was stolen from to alert the guys in those areas. This has become very common problem everywhere thanks to the prolific drug problem, and hate to say it but you will probably not want it back once they live in it for even a short time, incredible how bad...
