    2020 Montana Spring Bear

    Anyone having any luck so far? I've been out hunting a few times (about 24 total hours of hunting) and have yet to see any sign, much less a bear. I'm new to Montana so taking it all as learning. Talked with a few guys yesterday that hadn't seen anything either. Hunting the Little Belts. It's...

    Electric pressure canner for bear (hopefully) and other game meat

    Anyone using the Carey (Nesco) electric smart canner for wild game? I know the National Center for home food Preservation recommends against using an electric pressure canner for meats, but it appears stove top canners took a while to gain formal approval and it seems people are using electric...

    Keeping cape until getting to a taxidermist

    Plan on going on my first bear hunt here in Montana in a few weeks, assuming our state doesn't follow Alaska and Washington. I'm a fairly anxious person and enjoy researching so I at least have some clue if I get lucky enough to get a bear. If I'd get one that I want to rug or mount, what is...

    Rings/base for Tikka t3x stainless 30-06

    Really close to purchasing the above rifle (was considering 300WM but I worry about recoil). My question, I really like the look and simplicity of the DNZ game reaper ring/mount directly to the tikka. Scope will be Sig's 3.5-10x42 BDX. I think I read a single review that this scope might not...

What are people using for food storage on backcountry trips of say 3-4 days? I've looked at the ursack, bear vault, and the sabre bear canister...

    Exo 5500 dry bag

    I know exo has dedicated dry bags but does anyone know what size dry bag would fit in the k2 5500? I'm wondering if 80l or 90l would fit. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

    Tikka t3x recoil

    Looking for a new rifle now that we moved to Montana. I've been tossing around the idea of getting a 30-06 or 300 win mag in the tikka t3x but worried about recoil with the 300. I shot a 300 win mag that weighed about a pound or pound and a half more than the tikka would fully outfitted and...

    Bag vs quilt; nemo vs HG

    I'm looking to get into backpack camping having recently moved to Montana but I'm concerned about sleeping bags vs quilts. I'm a large american, 6' 250# with a broad chest and I have trouble fitting in some of the bags available in person at the local big box store (read I fit but its...
