    Bowtech SS34 vs Prime Revex 6 vs PSE Mach 34

    I recently shot the three. Interested in your guys thoughts on the three if you have one please enlighten me. I personally enjoyed the draw cycle on the ss34 with the revex 6 coming in second to my liking. The Mach 34 was a great bow to shoot but comes with a hefty price tag. Weight wise I feel...

    Impressive Start to the 2021 Shed Season

    This past Saturday I decided to get my new shed dog out along with my other two pups and try to find some fresh drops on public land. I went to a 3yr old select cut with a nice mountain stream that intersected it which was lined with old growth timber (providing a great bedding zone). I worked...

    Montana How 1st, 2nd, 3rd Choice Works

    So even as a resident I get confused with Montana’s draw system. I’m curious if someone can explain to me how the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, choices work. Do they look at your first choice and if there’s no tags left then move to your second choice? Or do they look at the 1st and 2nd choices and pick from...

    Stories of calling in your first elk success or not?

    As season is already here for some and soon approaching for others I figured it’d be a good time to start a thread like this. Do you remember the first time an elk responded to you? Did you find success in calling it in? Did you close the deal? What did you learn from it?

    Meat care on warm hunts

    Going to be hunting the breaks with my brother the last week in September. We will have 10 days to get two tags filled.
