    Back issues field dressing.

    For short term kneel down...for long term get your back figured out. I have had the same issues... stand up and almost lose my breath and walk like I gotta take a dump for a few feet before I can straighten up. Chiro with strength and stretching. Don't wait until you have to do a whole elk by...

    Montana Missouri River Breaks Elk

    Usually the main problem with any of the breaks units is with archery being able to get close enough in some of the open country and/or the elk hunkering into the willows. I have a buddy and his dad that hunt it every 3-4 years as non-residents with a bow. Your boat idea is the same idea as A...

    Over Priced Things That Shouldn't Be?

    Not much shot is made using towers like Remington...most on a machine the size of a UPS truck. There is still A LOT that goes into shotshell manufacturing on a large scale with many different offerings compared to the guy that loads the same hull/wad/powder/primer/and shot that he has for 30...

    South Dakota Antelope

    Learn to shoot longer ranges, bring knee pads, and good hunting isn't always in the obvious vast amounts of public land like the areas you mention.

    MT Mule deer must haves?

    Tarp shelter to get out of wind or weather in general if wanting to take a nap or it starts to snow or rain. It is nice to find a cut or ledge set up the tarp and tuck in for a couple hours. An inexpensive spotter and tripod wouldn't be a bad idea so not only can they help glass further but...

    2024 Montana Alternates list

    It doesn't mean that many tags were reissued...they just went through that many guys before the tag was bought. Could have been 50 tags total but if guys keep declining it. It goes to the next in line. IMO You should get 48hrs to decide. No one needs more than that.

    Quiet Turkey pants

    unless it is really cold I use these pants on probably 80% of my hunts. I have multiple pairs and wear them when traveling all the time. By far the most comfortable pant I've ever put on. My original pair is around 8yrs old and besides being a little faded all seems and zippers are perfect. Just...

    Quiet Turkey pants

    KUIU Attack pants? I have them and spot and stalk hunt deer in them. Quiet like wearing sweat pants. ZERO swish or noise when going through brush

    2024 Montana Alternates list

    I don't remember if I was on the deer or elk alternate list last year...but I was in the 500s last year and got the email the last week of season to buy the tag. so I'd say if you are 400 and under you have a darn good chance to get picked. 2 years before that I was just over #100 and had my tag...

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    I saw it and just kind of shook my head...Don't care if you smoke or don't. Grew up around people that did, who didn't. My older sister and her friends got into worse stuff than weed. Didn't care for her during that time or being around her or her friends. I just laugh at the whole 4/20 stoner...

    Has your dog been injured?

    Crap...forgot about the dozen Needle Pigs my dogs have gotten into. A bunch of barbed wire cuts or old fence posts....Couple hit by cars. Lots of tongue cuts from cattails and a couple stick jabs inside the throat. Pretty routine hunting injuries. Nothing a couple stitches, staples or duck tape...

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    I don't care what other people shoot...although I may chuckle a little at the guys in Northern MN shooting 338 wins or 300RUMs when everything they shoot is 50yds...because "brush gun" ya know. When it bothers me is when they have a new hunter or kid shooting those calibers because they don't...

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

    I honestly don't get why guys are so bent out of shape of having to wear it? The getting shot thing is far fetched however...easy to spot areas I don't want to go into because other guys are sitting there. Or the fact it deters most guys from walking right up on my location because they can see me.

    Beast hunting muleys

    Depends on where you are at and terrain. I know a bunch of places early season you can hunt Mule Deer just like whitetails. They generally go up and down the same draws and fingers day to day from bedding to feeding. We have killed a bunch of bucks like this. Even more general there are pinch...

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    I put in for the Big Game Combo with 2 points. Might have to piggy back my Moose hunt in Alberta the last week of Sept. with an archery elk hunt. More than likely Ill just chase elk in MT with a Rifle in Oct early Nov. then head back and concentrate on Mule Deer late Nov.

    Elevation change to stop other hunters

    Depends...spot I guided it was about 700-800ft to the first meadows down off the top. The top literally had a atv trail 100' from the rim. Ran into only a couple groups that dropped in. One group killed a cow and I asked if they were dropping back in the next few days in the same area....They...

    Turkey load?

    With the load you are talking about you would kill 90% of the Turkeys that get shot every year. Pattern your gun and see what it s doing. Don't forget to just try the factory chokes. You'll easily be able to kill a Turkey to 40yds with that. Not sure when turkeys became armor plated rhinos. It...

    Russia is screwed now…

    While the headline is funny....China arguably can make optics/parts etc. that rival anything coming out of other optic factories. Simply you can get cheaper stuff of out China.

    which is the better phone for hunters?

    I have a Iphone 14 for work and a Galaxy S21 private. 100% take the Galaxy over the Iphone. S21 is 3years old no issues with ONX and have generally had better reception than the Iphone sitting next to it. Take it with a grain of salt but never been a fan of Apple products....This is my 3rd...
