Fish Funnel Reviews/Experience?
Anyone ever use one of these? My wife found this and seems like it would be a game changer for meat processing. Specifically for packaging our ground meat as we put that into the quart size vacuum seal bags and always seems to be a slow point with using an ice cream scooper. Made by Alaska...- Big Sky Guy

Fixed blade for the field
Esee Izula in stainless fits nicely on the MOLLE shoulder strap. I have a non-stainless with the older style of sheath I’ve kept in my pack as a backup, got this one as a birthday gift and plan to use this one now. I think it was around $80, maybe a little short for an all purpose or hunting...- Big Sky Guy

7mm Backcountry anyone?
True, but the explanation I’ve heard is the grain weight of powder contributes to recoil in addition to bullet weight. Less powder in 7BC than 7PRC/RM. my guess is somewhere a bit above .280ai but below the “magnum” recoil. 🤷🏼♂️- Big Sky Guy

Public Lands for Government Efficiency?
I’ve said since this all began that if the military/pentagon isn’t touched then it’s all a charade. Love the simplified 30k foot view of the budget. Cutting pennies to save dollars! Thanks Randy, watching the episode now.- Big Sky Guy

Actually had to look twice because at first that’s what it looked like.- Big Sky Guy

280 AI
I like how it was created by a guy genuinely trying to improve cartridge performance for hunters/shooters within the limitations of his time and available resources rather than seemingly being created out of thin air to market to modern hunters.- Big Sky Guy

Montana 2025 draws
I think common denominator is the 15th, not day of week. Tomorrow is my guess.- Big Sky Guy

Montana 2025 draws
I can't remember what I had for dinner last weekend. No way I'm remembering, with any accuracy, how many days I spent in which units (with a tag valid for the entire state), over the course of SIX (yes elk season is six months long) months, beginning well over six months ago. I got the call...- Big Sky Guy

End of Grizzly Delisting?
Always seemed like a big kick in the nuts to those scientists that spent a career and/or lifetime studying them to bring them back only to be told by a federal judge with zero science/wildlife experience “not good enough” - Twice to boot, just as you mention. What could be an even bigger kick...- Big Sky Guy

Thermal recovery drones?
Don’t have one, but looked into them quite a bit. DJI Matrice 30T is $10kish and what Drone Deer Recovery YT guy uses and loves. I’ve seen some comparisons to the Mavic 3T and even though about half the cost seemed half the ability. I now see they have a Matrice 4T, not sure about that one, a...- Big Sky Guy

New Sako 90
I agree, seems odd as I have never heard or read of any receivers on the 85's etc. breaking. I have still only seen one 90 in any retail store since the release. No one is stocking or getting them. Sako may well be the worst firearms marketer, or maybe it's just Beretta here in the US. No...- Big Sky Guy

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?
I'll disagree a bit with you on 1. I can see taxes on our home being more than our original mortgage payment of $1300 was by my retirement fairly easily now after seeing property tax hike past couple years. However, that's still $1300 not coming out and allows one to *hopefully* pay those...- Big Sky Guy

Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?
Excellent clarifying points to consider for sure. In my point above there was no investing going on as there was no "excess" funds from the refi(s). I *think* they went to things like: new roof, concrete and other "expensive" home improvements. I was too young for my mom to discuss this stuff...- Big Sky Guy
