    Flying with Pot call and Strikers in carry-on?

    I flew last week with one and 2 strikers in a carry on backpack with zero problem. The scope I had in there, now that's a different story. They let it go, but made an "exception". There was a debate about it being a gun part or used as a club.

    They were talking about it on the radio the other day in helena, said the urban sprawl/commuters have spread all the way up to Townsend. Nowhere, it seems, is immune.

    Looking for good cartridge and budget rifle for 14 y/o

    Ruger American, 7mm-08. A bit more forgiving for elk, imho. And will be plenty for deer. The 25-06 recommendation earlier or the 6.5 cm would work too. I'm just not in the 6mm fan base for elk.

    Pics of animals you weren't hunting

    Surprised no one called me out on that one, i was kind of cheating. I was on a walking bridge over the small river that runs thru Estes Park for that pic. The rest were much more wild 😉

    NO SNOW!!!

    Nothing in Central (Helena) montana. It was 60 in great falls yesterday and no snow up to Havre either. I don't think we've had measurable snow since Halloween. It's mostly been in the low 40s for highs or warmer for over a month.
