Years ago, my uncle got a ticket in MT. My aunt shot an antelope. When they got to it, it was still alive and need a finishing shot. My aunt couldnt do it, so my uncle did. A game warden ticketed him when my aunt tagged it. Not sure if the law is still the same.
My parents were pretty good cooks. My mom tended to over cook meat, particularly pork - so we wouldn't get trichinosis.... No one ever did.
We had one memorable meal when I waas about 14. My dad wasn't a bird hunter, but I went grouse hunting with a buddy and his day. We got into a flock of...
Get a copy of the forest travel map. It will show places where you can't pull into a likely camp spot and set up a tent. Most of the places are high-use The Gallatin canyon is a good example.
Another vote for both. For less people the Coleman works great. For larger groups, the Camp Chief with the full griddle cover is the bomb for cooking breakfast!
What Miller said. My Kenetreks are four years old and probably have 100 miles on them and I really want them to work. On flat ground, or really anything that's not steep, they work really well. In fact, I think the soles have a bit of "rocker" to them that makes walking easy. On really steep...

I spent more than $5k on hearing aids last summer, and the primary reason was for bow hunting elk. They help a lot for everyday life, and some for hunting, but not as much as...
If you want an great knife that you can pass on to your grand kids, look at Skyblade knives. They stay sharper longer than any knife I've ever used. They're spendy, but they're a nice blend of functionality and beauty.
Also, they're made in Bozeman by Todd Orr. He's the guy that got mauled...
I was interested to see all of the responses in the Wild Game Meat thread that listed ducks as a favorite game meat. I love hunting them, but don't do it much anymore because I don't enjoy eating them. I'm not a big fan of duck or goose jerky.
Does anyone have a favorite duck recipe that will...
How do the blocks help over just driving over the chains? The thing I learned early on was to put the chain before you need them. Trying to put them on after you're stuck sucks....
Another interesting theory that my bro-in-law had was that the third set of chains you put on (the second set...
