    Gun safes

    My wife bought me a rhino safe for our anniversary five years ago. It has been an awesom safe, the exterior and interior still look brand new. Its a shame that it sits in my office, aa it looks like a piece of art! Congrats on your purchase! Sent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk

    Montana resident looking to use my points

    Like said above, I think that 380 is overrated. Sure, there are some big bulls taken every year, but most are by hunters that are either on private property, with someone who is intimately familiar with the area, or both. I know over a dozen people who have had the tag, and have eaten it. I...

    300 WSM Hornady GMX

    I have taken quite a few animals with my 300 wsm with 190 Accubond long ranges. They have been a great bullet, from 150 yds out to 650. I shot a whitetail doe last week at 500, clean pass through, with minimal exit wound. Also shot a bull on Friday at 575. It entered jist behind the shoulder...

    Tracking herds

    I killed this bull with two other smaller bulls and a group of 40-50 cows, calves, and spikes. The week before, him and the two other bulls were alone. Generally, if I come across a bunch of tracks, I will look for a calf track in the group, or a track or few tracks off to the side of the main...

    Anyone not use a ground sheet with a floorless shelter?

    I have done bare floor, housewrap (not tyvek brand), and Tyvek Protec roofing underlayment. The Tyvek roof underlayment is the best. It is actually fully waterproof, unlike housewrap, which is permeable. It has grip in it, I can safely stand on it on a 10/12 roof (40*). That really helps for...

    Windproof Lighter & Hot Tent Fire Starter

    I bought the little deal of PyroPutty for my hottent stove. It seems to work really good. I also use the Wetfire cubes, and I think the pyro did a better job at lighting some large damp tinder that I was using. Seems like the small tin, like the size of a silver dollar, will make 12-15 fires...

    Lite Outdoors 18" vs SO SXL

    I have spent a lot of time in my cimarron with a Lite Outdoors 18" stove this year, as well as two nights in another cimarron with a medium box stove. Yes, the height is nice for tending the fire, but with it sitting low, and the heat rising, you are effectively heating more of the shelter. I...

    Hunting near deerlodge, mt?

    When I was up there, which was just an evening glassing, we didnt see a single elk, or any tracks in the snow we did cross. We glassed a lot with good glass too. I think the elk will still be up higher, but, with elk on public ground, you never know. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

    Hunting near deerlodge, mt?

    We had a cold and snowy first couple weeks, then pretty nice weather for the remainder. I was in spotted dog two Saturdays ago, and it was pretty much bare, maybe a few inches up high. It hit 60 in helena on Saturday. Now its about 50 and raining. Kind of a bummer weather wise, because season...

    Learning to Use Scope With Cross Dominant Eye

    I am solidly left hand dominant, but right eye dominant. I shoot a bow right handed, golf right handed, and can swing a bat switch. My framing tool belt (profession) has always been lefty, and I shoot and have always shot left hand. To me, it comes natural, and I have tried to shoot right hand...

    WTS Ed Ts Backountry titanium cylinder stove

    I have owned this stove for four years or so. Used a half dozen times a year. I just upgraded to a Lite Outdoors, mostly for the extra length. This stove is in great working condition. It does have some warping on the bottom, shown in a pic. With good wood, it will burn for about two hours. I...

    Accuracy of Fitness Watches (Fitbit, GPS)

    Flat walking, my Garmin fenix 5x does a pretty accurate job, same with dirtbiking, snowmobiling, etc. Where it gets off, like said above is in steeper and slower terrain, like hunting. Last week, my onx on my phone said I was at 7.2 miles, while my watch said nearly ten. It was the same last...

    Lite Outdoors 18" vs SO SXL

    I just picked up a lite outdoors last week. I upgraded from an older Ed Ts cylinder stove, and have used a seek box stove. I dont think the Lite is any harder to put together than any of the others. The big difference is the size of door and the length. As stated above. You can fit some serious...

    Best Method You've Got to Fire Up the Wood Stove Fast in the Morning?

    Park your cot within reach of the wood stove door. Wake up once in the night to stoke it without having to get out of your bag. Then stoke it again in the morning. Then you dont have to light a new fire. I carry charcoal lighter fluid for a starter. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

    Backcountry Tent for Two & Drying Clothes

    I have a Cimarron with and Ed T cylinder stove (small guy from montana). It works awesome. Set your boots beside the stove, and hang your pants, and by the morning, they are dry. The stoves will not burn all night, but only take a few minutes to warm the tipi up. Sent from my LM-G710VM using...
