    Anyone selling a meat grinder? (Found one)

    Is anyone selling a .5 hp meat grinder? Buddy in the Bozeman area is looking for one. Don’t think he’d need anything bigger but open to options too

    Am I just over reacting? Or will I get sick? Elk meat question

    Any squirts I’ve had lately can be attributed to over drinking at a Christmas party. Elk wise, she is delicious!

    Montanans how long since your last mule deer

    Shot a mule deer the last two years in a row. Sucks the way deer are going, but I love mule deer hunting more than anything. I wasn’t alive for the “golden era”, so this is all I know, and I still truly love it. Sure, I know Montana doesn’t have some of the record deer Colorado might hold, but I...

    Am I just over reacting? Or will I get sick? Elk meat question

    This year I had to hang my buddy and I’s elk quarters in the walk-in cooler for about 11 days. The temp there is ~36-38 Degrees Fahrenheit. When I went to pick it up, the quarters started to have white mold on them. Was freaked out and devastated at first, but after doing some reading and...

Now, I can quarter and packout, but I aint gonna lie and say im great or efficient at breaking down animals yet. Especially two elk. But we all gotta learn somehow right? It took...

    2024 Hunt “New Fronts and Challenges”

    I was super sore from the week but the weekend was soon here and my buddy and I were planning on hitting one of my old spots, but I wanted to go a little further than I have before and check out an area I know has elk and might hold a nice buck too. Well, sometimes plans work and sometimes they...

    2024 Hunt “New Fronts and Challenges”

    Next day I decided to take it easy and hunt the family ranch and see what bucks are cruising around so far before the rut kicks off. Invited my buddy out so he could get a buck. He got this decent four point and then had to head home to pick up his boy from school (we are masters at balancing...

    2024 Hunt “New Fronts and Challenges”

    2024 is the first year I’ve had to contend with balancing the desire to hunt with the fact I can’t leave the wife with the baby every weekend. It led to some scheduling challenges, but after some debate and some excellent negotiations on my part, it was finalized. I did not get out much this...
