Montana House Bill 676 - This could sell off 1.25M acres of State Trust Lands - that's almost 25%!!! This is not the Homesteading Bill
While the loss of state land would be terrible, the loss of funding for schools makes me upset. My kids are in public school and this could directly affect their experience. I just texted my rep. And I was nice… :)- MLaird

A true MT Elk Camp, celebrating 31 Years
Thanks for the invite @Elky Welky . I had a great time and really enjoyed the week with you and your family. All of the stories, place names and traditions, and even a busted elk stalk, made it really memorable. Although I might have to hunt with your dad or uncle next year if I actually want... -

Montana S/G/M results 2024
Kinda depressing to look at three profiles for my family and see everything in the “Unsuccessful” category. Somehow I always feel like one of the three of us show draw something…- MLaird

What Caliber
I had a 6.5-284 built a couple of years ago. I did it with a tikka action and put a 21” barrel with a 7.5 twist. Currently I’m shooting a 125gr HHT (all copper) at 3000fps at about .6 moa. This year I put it in a Grayboe stock. With the suppressor it weighs around 9-9.5 lbs and shoots like a... -

The January Topic: KUIU vs Sitka!
I have a Sitka Jet Stream and the old discontinued Jet Stream Light. They are amazing and I wear one of those 90%+ of the time. For pants I wear the XKG Ridge pant by Kings. They fit so well I found a good sale and bought two more pair and keep them in the packaging for when my original pair...- MLaird

suppressor length on hunting rifle
Yeah, I might call Steve and see what he thinks. Seems like from what I’ve read that the HHTs tend to work better at more normal velocities. -

suppressor length on hunting rifle
I had a 8” Lane suppressor that I put on a 26” 7RM. It was a telephone pole. I couldn’t cut the barrel because of the fluting so I’ve got a new Benchmark barrel w/ a 8 twist coming that will be finished at 20”. I also wanted a faster twist. Looking to shoot a 145gr tipped Hammer or maybe a... -

1st Whitetail
My son got his first WT buck this morning. We went and helped a rancher with his branding last spring and in return he gave us permission to come hunt. We were out yesterday and the bucks were rutting hard. We were watching a nice 5x4 pushing does most of the morning. He finally started... -

Antelope...Lets See Them!!!
My wife’s buck from this morning in MT. The group this buck was with was walking towards us so we just sat down and let them come. This guy stopped broadside to us at 125 yds. She made a good shot and dropped him in its tracks. -

My oldest wanted to catch a shark so we went out last week while in SC on vacation. Wish we could have kept the snapper but it was out of season.- MLaird
