    Trip to Des Moines Iowa, looking for fishing ideas

    Thanks! I'll look into it, a big part of all this is what rental car prices are like there...

    Trip to Des Moines Iowa, looking for fishing ideas

    I'm sad to hear that. I've been gone about 6 years and the last few years I was still in WI I was in college, so less fishing going on. I may be wrong but I bet there is still some awesome pan fishing up nort'. I've always been more of an ice fisherman, but I think spawning bluegill on a fly rod...

    Trip to Des Moines Iowa, looking for fishing ideas

    I drive though Wibaux all the time, my in-laws are in the Baker area, but I never really stop. I think the Shamrock is the only bar I've ever been to there. But I hear Bar 52 is good, I really need to stop there sometime. I wear out the cats pretty well here on the Yellowstone and Tongue. But...

    Trip to Des Moines Iowa, looking for fishing ideas

    I have an upcoming work trip to Des Moines, I will be in town for three weeks. My weekends will be free and I immediately thought of opportunities I might be able to capitalize on as I've never really been to Iowa aside from driving through. I see that Saylorville Lake will be right in my back...

    Montana bison hunt

    Congrats! It's an odd feeling. I did not end up getting a bison, as far as I know all of the tags in that unit went unfilled, it still makes me sick to think of the odds of drawing just to get hosed by a mild Montana winter... My only advice, pray for snow lots and lots of snow. If I'm not...

    Montana bison hunt

    Ouch, worth a shot anyway. Beattie Gulch is likely THE spot, especially for packing back to the truck, but not the only spot to find one. I am defiantly on the lookout for a local to keep me up to date.

    Attempted to ask this ram if he knows.... wasn't helpful.

    Do you live in the area? I'm not above bribing for intel.

    Montana bison hunt

    I'm not tech savvy enough to find the "goose egg" gif, as that would about sum this hunt up so far. El Nino sucks big time. Bison haven't migrated yet, and seem very content in the park. We will be here though the cold snap so I still have some hope. I am already planning a return trip. I...

    Montana bison hunt

    Yes, the unit includes Deckard flats. Also I believe the only restriction on the flats is wolf trapping, but I will have to look into it more. Thanks for the tip!

    Montana bison hunt

    No doubt about that. I will hunt right down to the last minute of the season if necessary, can't squander this opportunity. Thanks!

    Montana bison hunt

    I had the great fortune to draw the MT bison 385-20 tag this year. Our group is heading down to Gardiner in early January. It appears that the unit is 99% public, and from my research Beattie Gulch seems to be a hot spot to say the least. If anyone has any experience, advice, or even local...

    A record year, and its not over yet.

    It is the dream for sure! Where are you from? The new member (FNG) thread is like a rite of passage. My only advice is to stop waiting and just do it. If that includes moving, start saving now. I also in good faith as a Montanan invite you to move here haha. If you do live in this wonderful...

    New Hunting Rig

    When I broke the news to my Dad that I was moving to Montana full time (not just for work) I also told him I was looking to buy a pickup. My first car had served me well in Wisconsin, having access to side by sides and other pickups for my hunting needs. But I knew MT would be a totally...
