    Boiling Moose Skull for Euro Mount

    If you want to avoid antler discoloration, have a better finished product and do WAY less work, macerate instead of boil. I’m not sure why anyone goes to the trouble of boiling. Especially something as large as a moose

    Burger grind

    I throw all the weird stuff that my wife is too scared to eat whole into breakfast sausage and hamburger. Spleen, liver, kidney, oysters, heart, (if there’s any leftover from the traditional post-kill heart tendies meal). I’ll save some liver and maybe a kidney and package it up but most organs...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    It’s hard to say what this is, but my theory is that you’re experiencing “the sound of the universe.” A mystical phenomenon that the east has known about for millennia. The mantra “om” or “aum” that is used in meditation to connect to higher consciousness is derived from this sound that was...

    Archery Mule Deer in Eastern Montana/Missouri River Breaks

    I had an elk tag on the south side of the breaks last season and I'll confirm what Bigsky2 said. I was shocked at how few deer I saw for how perfect the habitat is. Pretty sad deal

    Drew Deer

    I hope you have some good luck! You’ll have a lot more time to find a good one than we did. The drought had a lot of deer on the private ag fields last year. Hopefully all this rain we’re having puts some critters in the badlands come season

    Drew Deer

    My gramps drew that tag last year. He’s in his 80’s so our hunt consisted of driving lots of roads. He’s hunted it quite a few times in the past with pretty good success. He said it’s the fewest deer he’s ever seen. We only saw one herd on public the whole hunt. I’m sure if a guy put the time in...

    Failed!! Unsuccessful DIY Spring Hunt Onto Fall

    Fall bears in Montana is tough because the rifle season doesn’t start till September 15, right when the berries are drying up and bears are moving to new food sources. The early archery season might be more fruitful for seeing bears, but the archery element adds another list of challenges

    Montana Draw Question

    Good clarification. While your permit season is going you can’t hunt general units

    Montana Draw Question

    Last season (2022) they changed it so that you can no longer hunt general units on an elk permit in MT

    Montana general tag 4 for 4

    I know practically nothing about whitetails but my gut tells me that point restrictions make more sense for WT because of their antler configuration. A lot of mule deer will never be more than a 3x3 no matter their age. Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t whitetails more likely to add points off...

    Odds of killing a wolf

    That’s always been the sense I’ve gotten too. A really small percentage of guys specifically pursue wolves, but the guys who do seem to kill them consistently. I’m thinking I’ll put ice fishing and trapping on the back burner this winter and spend a few days chasing them. Worst case scenario...

    Odds of killing a wolf

    Making it look way too easy! That had to get the ol ticker thumpin! Something about that spring season seems to be a good time of year to locate canines. The only wolf I've ever seen was while spring bear hunting but unfortunately the season wasn't open here in Montana.

    Odds of killing a wolf

    You know that brings up a good point. I think most hunters treat wolf tags a lot like bear tags. They'll buy one just to have it in case they see one, but they're not really actively pursuing the critter. I gotta think that wolves are really spread out during general seasons given that their...
