    Elk Steaks

    I kept some fresh sirloin tip steaks out today. I sparingly used a meat tenderizing hammer on them. I don't normally marinate but decided to marinate them afterwards in Montreal seasoning marinade ( seasoning packet, olive oil, water, red wine vinegar) for an hour. During that hour, I baked...

    Momma Spruce Grouse w/ Chicks

    hobbes Posted 2 hours ago My wife and I walked up on a momma Franklin's (Spruce) grouse with 5 chicks. I spotted her from 50 or so yards while returning to the trailhead but didn't notice the5 chicks until we were on top of her. She rushed us fan out before I started recording. They are...

    Holy Smokes!!!

    Am I imagining things or are there more posts asking for unit specific information than usual or is it just how they stand out when locked? A few posts come up stating that draws are complete for elk and deer and the "I drew Unit X" then some plea for help posts follow immediately afterwards...

    Lucky Find

    You have to appreciate turkey guns to appreciate this. These are difficult to come by. Remington made them from 1993 to 1997. It's an 1187 12 ga. mag. Special Purpose Turkey 21" barrel in original Mossy Oak Greenleaf. I was not looking for another gun and have never actively looked for one...

    Mule Deer

    I've stayed away from posting anything "live" this season, so a short post hunt story is the best I can do. I hunted from 11/11 to 11/18. My boys were with me the first 3 1/2 days then it was just Finn (my griff) and I. The first few days were really foggy so the first couple hours of...

    Elk Calibers

    When I saw this, my first thought was the "6.5 man bun" elk hunters. :) Some of the folks with the Meme skills could probably make it even more applicable. Lighten up it's a joke. :)

    Antelope Euros

    A little European mount work. Bringing plain water to a nice slow boil for horn removal from the cores. 15 to 20 minutes of this. Sit it between your feet and give a good twist and you get this. Core flesh can now be removed with a little more boiling a knife, and peeling and a pressure...

    Merriam's Fans (All Gone)

    I'm doing another clean up and I've got a handful (7 or so) of Merriam's fans (not spread out) that I don't need. I always keep my own plus my kids but rarely do anything with them. They range from buff to creamy. I don't think any are snow white. They all include 6" or so worth of back...

    Can you identify this muzzleloader?

    So, with my dad's passing a few weeks ago, I've ended up with some of his guns. Some are modern guns, a few are muzzleloaders. I'm not at home to look at it closer, but I'm not completely sure about the shotgun. The sidelock percussion rifle is a TC Renegade 50 cal, The inline is a Knight...

    Spring 2021

    I hate that it's over but it was a good season from beginning to end. I put on a little over 3000 miles chasing these guys and that doesn't include a flight to Florida. I'd run some more the next couple of weeks but I'm out of time at work.

    More MT Shenanigans HB637

    Everything that was bad about SB 143 has now been slipped into HB637 at the 11th hour in hopes of getting guaranteed combo licenses this year for hunters using outfitters. Contact your legislators ASAP, like today, now, the sooner the better.

    WEN Generator

    I've been considering a WEN inverter generator and thought I saw a thread on here recently about the 2000-watt but can't find it if I did. Does anyone have any experience with these? The Honda's price tag is not an option.

    Montana HB 242 Muzzleloader Heritage Season

    Just an FYI. I wasn't even aware that this was out there. Unless I'm looking at it wrong, it looks like it made it through first reading in Committee. Season dates to be second Saturday following end of General Season and running 9 days. Limitations on weapon similar to Colorado.

    Montana 2021

    Now that the 2020 Big Game and Upland seasons are both over, I’ll stop adding to my 2020 thread (https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/montana-2020.190653/) and go ahead and start a 2021 thread. Thus far in 2021, I closed out my 2020 upland hunting on January 1 and closed out my extended cow...

    Montana 2020

    I'll add to this as the rest of the season progresses. I've went ahead and included most things from spring 2020 up until now. Montana 2020 Besides all the other craziness of 2020, hunting season has been about normal for me this year. I started the 2020 season off on turkeys in Montana in...

    DiY Archery Target

    I've seen these online, maybe Bowsite, and planned on giving one a try, but it's taken me a while to get to it. I bought two 4x8 sheets of 1.5" thick Owens Corning Foamular and two 36" pieces of 7/16" all thread rod with nuts and washers. It cost about $60. The wood that I used for the top...
