    Verify that you hunt

    Been a while since I killed anything.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I didn't say that they are there to help you time the market, in fact I said that they can give you good advice based on history. They can give you good long term advice based on what has happened in the past, and based on current taxation laws, and make assumptions about the future. If they...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    No one knows when the next 20% drop will be, and no one knows how low the market can go. Back before the crash of 2007/8 my 401k was fully invested in a S&P 500 index fund. I pulled it all out the exact day before the market started dropping - mostly pure luck. I then reinvested when it...

    Tariffs

    I've tried to avoid watching MSNBC, CNN, and FOX NEWS for years now. Out of curiosity I wondered how FOX would be reporting on what happened in the Stock Market over the last two days - figuring that had to be the big news. I looked at the FOX "news" web page a few minutes ago. They had 10...

    Should trail cams be legal?

    Last year I was hunting on public land that surrounded a section of private land. I mistakenly ended up on the private land - no fences or any signs. On my way out to the public land I see a salt block, so I look up and see a treestand, and across I see a game camera. The deer that I was...

    Don't let an accident become a tragedy

    I'm usually really careful. However, I do remember something that happened years ago, that is probably pretty common. I had been following elk, finally caught up with them, got ready to shoot, safety off etc, then the elk moved over a little hill, and I followed them. An hour later I realize...

    HTer Goals '25 Edition

    Surviving winter without gaining much weight is a challenge. Seems like I've accomplished that this year. Now that the snow is leaving its time to hike more. I need to have targets to reach, immediate goals like steps per day, then steps per month. Beating last years Jan, Feb, and March...

    Non-resident fees… according to Google AI

    I've lived in Montana for 44 years. I've thought about moving to other states. I could have moved to states and got a better paying job, or a state where I pay no state income tax, or one that doesn't tax social security, or one with lower priced houses, or one with better weather, or one with...

    Practicing bear defense shooting

    I would think that the most important factor in defending yourself against a surprise bear attack is how you cope with the situation mentally. Some people will get too excited, some will just freeze, and the lucky ones will click into a state where they are focused and make the right decisions...

    HTer Goals '25 Edition

    Goals 2025. Go somewhere that I haven't been every month. Even if it's just hiking up a different mountain. Make sure that I use all of the outdoor equipment that I've bought in the past - pontoon boat, kayak, bikes, motorbikes etc. Try to relax more, enjoy life - I'll be 65 this year, and I've...

    Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

    I'm usually in grizzly bear country, and I'd rather get things taken care off as soon as possible. Also, I feel like it's better to find the animal as soon as possible for other reasons, heat, rain, running out of daylight etc. I guess, do whatever you feel works for you, I've had good luck by...

    Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

    In the first 15 years that I bowhunted, I definitely wounded a few elk, missed others. In the last 20 years everything I've shot at has been found dead within 1/2 hour. In the first 15 years I didn't use a rangefinder, arrows were heavier, no release for years - advances in equipment has made...

    Public Shaming Drone Flying POS

    I'm heading into the Bob Marshall Wilderness tomorrow going to the Chinese Wall. I have a hunch I'll be more irritated by horse people than drone people. I agree that drones shouldn't be in the Wilderness, and horses, while not a native species to North America, probably should be allowed...

    Nope, Corvallis, Montana. Apparently.

    Montana People - Have You Seen This Man

    I thought I read where they caught this guy. He's some guy from down the Bitterroot with a bunch of posts on Facebook, hunting photos and shed gathering photos.
