    Western Montana Whitetail Tactics

    Thanks I’m going to target some true mountain areas and some that are adjacent to the valley. This will help me do better than just throwing a dart on the map. Whether I kill something or not, it’s a lot better than sitting at home waiting for next year.

    Western Montana Whitetail Tactics

    Well it’s either state the truth, or lie and look dumb when they figure it out pretty quickly. I hear what you are saying though. I’ve moved a few times and know there’s people who won’t like me just cause I wasn’t born somewhere. That said everyone in Montana has been incredibly welcoming. It...

    Thanks! This is incredibly helpful. The only elevation changes are something I’ve never had to consider before.

    What’s in your log book?

    I just got a new rifle and will be reloading for it. I’ve reloaded in the past but it’s been twenty years so I’m approaching it as if I know nothing. My goal is to learn to shoot longer distances (up to 1,000 yards) so I’ll be confident taking shots under 500 yards when hunting. With this in...

    Western Montana Whitetail Tactics

    The valley I’m living in is almost completely private. I’ve thought about knocking on doors but I think I may be too late in the year for that to be effective.

    Western Montana Whitetail Tactics

    Thanks this is helpful! The valley I’m living in is most private land except for a few smaller pieces of public that get heavy pressure. I’d like to hunt the foothills and mountains of the national forest just because it’ll be different than how I’m used to hunting whitetails. It sounds like...

    Western Montana Whitetail Tactics

    Did you hunt them from tree stands or found blinds? Or would you approach it similar to hunting mule deer? Meaning glass until you find them and then either stalk in or lay an ambush?

    Western Montana Whitetail Tactics

    I moved to western Montana this past week and will be archery hunting whitetail does for the rest of the fall (it’s one of the few tags I can get). I grew up on the east coast and am well versed with the typical tactics (I.e. set up on feeding areas, travel corridors, pinch points, etc.) For...

    2023 ANTELOPE MEAT POLE

    @Twitch 8 points, do you think it was worth it? Serious question. This was my first antelope buck tag.

    2023 ANTELOPE MEAT POLE

    The Big Hunt Guys podcast had an episode on photos that helped me a ton, including taking photos by yourself. I think the title was something like “Grip and Grin”.

    2023 ANTELOPE MEAT POLE

    Cashed in my Wyoming points and got this buck on public land. It’s cool to see all the variations in horn shape!

    Sight tape issues

    If you’re using one of the standard sight tapes that came with the sight, it’s highly unlikely that it’ll match your setup at every yardage. There are so many factors (arrow weight, broadhead, vanes, etc) that contribute to how fast your arrow loses velocity.

    Gift idea for outdoorsman taking me on my first elk hunt!

    Does he hunt waterfowl or whitetails? You could invite him to come hunt with you which would really build a longer term relationship.

    Gift idea for outdoorsman taking me on my first elk hunt!

    I’m with the “show up in shape and with a good attitude crowd”. Since it’s your first elk hunt don’t act like you know it all, instead ask questions, listen to his advice. At some point it’s going to get tough, you’ll be tired, wet, hungry, not seeing any elk, etc. if you can stay upbeat when...

    Mid elevation Mule Deer with a Bow

    I’ve found them bedded and walking when scouting the Aspens mid day. It’s more finding a spot I’ll believe they’ll walk by within the hundreds of acres of aspens.

    Mid elevation Mule Deer with a Bow

    So far I haven’t found a pinch point for a treestand setup. With the heavy winter we had there is water and food everywhere. The deer are spread out this year which is a double edged sword.

    Mid elevation Mule Deer with a Bow

    Would you focus on the small meadows you can glass from farther out or meadows you have to be on the edge of to see into?
