    Scouting/Trail camera pics

    Mine are going up this weekend. New spots I’ve never been in though, so it should be interesting.

    Kuiu Attack or Firstlite Obsidian for Sept/Oct Elk

    +1 for the Prana. I love mine...they dry out fast and have held up really well so far.

    First Western Hunt (An internal debate....)

    I’ve started pricing it out, and I think we would be around 1K in fuel which is cheaper than a flight once you add extra baggage etc. Plus, we’d get to see new parts of the country and enjoy some solid windshield time. I actually live in NY now, which shaves a few hours off the drive lol

    First Western Hunt (An internal debate....)

    I’m leaning toward driving due to logistics. It’d be a 24-36 hour drive each way. I’m a bit nervous about flying with my rifle and potentially meat. I’d hate to have my gun or a cooler full of buck meat misplaced by TSA. Do you have experience flying for hunting trips?

    First Western Hunt (An internal debate....)

    Thanks for the response! I bought this summer, so I would go in with two points if I applied next year.

    Preference/Bonus points Montana

    If I buy a preference point this summer, will I lose it if don't apply for next years draw? Or can I just buy another point next year and apply for 2021?

    First Western Hunt (An internal debate....)

    Hey guys, I'm planning for my first western hunt with a buddy of mine, and we are trying to decide what to do. We are torn between MT deer and WY antelope. What do you guys suggest?! What can we expect from either hunt (access, crowds, terrain types, game siting etc)? For some background: I've...

    Family Vehicle

    What about the Toyota 4Runner? I’ve never had one and I don’t have kids, but it looks roomy enough and has a nice off-road package.

    Crispí size 9. SOLD

    Do you find that these run a little large? I’m typically a 9 or 9-1/2 but like to be able to fit a heavy sock in my boots

    Montana General Tag Question

    Ohhhh alright. This makes a lot more sense! So, instead of buying the “bonus” point this year I should have bought the “preference” point. Looks like I’m buying both this year... live and learn.

    Montana General Tag Question

    I’m really new to the whole system. I didn’t realize you could purchase a whitetail only tag without entering the deer draw. This is a game changer!

    Montana General Tag Question

    I’ve never been out west and would like to see the country. I’m considering Wyoming and Idaho, as well. However, I’d love to take a solid MT whitetail, but need to do some research on what part of the state offers good whitetail hunting on public land.

    Montana General Tag Question

    I’m still pretty confused with MT point system and general deer tags. If I bought a bonus point for deer this year is that good for the general draw next year? Also, is a NR better off going for a general tag or a unit specific tag?

    First time Wyoming antelope advice

    I’m hoping to get out there for my first western hunt in 2020. I think the approach of getting 3-4 tags between a couple guys is a good one! Congrats!

    Rifle brand. Howa, Tikka, Bergara...

    I recently purchased a tikka t3x hunter in 30-06. Personally, I find The weight is great and the gun is well balanced. Fits my frame well, but I’m not a very big guy. The synthetic is nice too, but there’s nothing quite like a wood stock.

    Lever Action

    My old man hunts with his Savage Model 99 in .300 Savage. It's a beautiful gun and serves him very well in the Maine woods. As a southpaw, the safety on it is a pain for me. There's something badass about carrying that heavy lever gun though...makes me feel a little wimpy for carrying my...

    Any Issues with Leveling Kits???

    How many miles have you run it for? I’m thinking I’ll put a 1.5” rough country kit and keep with the 265/65/18 size tires (probably some toyo open countrys). I’m hoping the mild level and not oversizing the tires will keep the ride comfortable, fuel economy about the same, and save on the...

    Any Issues with Leveling Kits???

    how much of a lift did you do and what company? I'm thinkng of going pretty slight on my 1500 and running (1' - 1.5" and 275/65/18 tires)

    Any Issues with Leveling Kits???

    Hey guys, I've been debating installing a 1.5" leveling kit on my 2013 silverado since the day I got it. However, I've gotten a lot of mixed messages about the pros and cons of a leveling kit. I was considering a rough country leveling spacer kit, but a buddy of mine told me it's hard on the...

    Turkeys in the Rain

    Ladies and gents, I’m new to the turkey hunting scene, and I’m already hooked! Great time of year to be out chasing gobbles and watching game. I was wondering what people think about hunting turkeys in the rain. Worth it or sleep in? (Either way, I’m going...) Any strategies you guys like...
