I have the Metcalf for myself and the Women's Pintler for my wife. I like the option of being able to carry more gear if needed, as it compresses down pretty good. The important part of the Pintler was the overload shelf, or whatever you call it, for attaching quarters/boned out meat bags. If...
Thank you for the info. The area I was looking at is the South Central to east above the Wyoming Border. I left my print out of the regs in my other pick up, but will look over them for which area/unit it is. Also plan on making a call to Dow/Fish and Wildlife or whatever they are called during...
Couple of quick questions for those of you familiar with Montana's hunting regulations. I am just starting to look at expanding into hunting other states, and am curious if Montana differentiates whitetails from mule deer on their tags....from eyeballing the regulations it doesn't appear so, but...
I've used hydration bladders for about 15 years now, prefer it to bottles. I much prefer it to bottles. I used to run a cabelas version but it split open, and I replaced it with a camel back....that was well over 13 years ago and have had zero issues. As mentioned above, the tubes tend to freeze...
I am not going to try to change anyone's mindset, but let me tell you a funny story about enclosed vehicles and elk (by which I mean anything without a bed you can dump the elk in, be it a car or suv). I mentioned in previous stories on here my old hunting buddy Harry Sprague. One particular...
I use my truck most of the time, but being a Raptor I do find it a bit difficult in the really narrow areas, so when the going gets really rough......I bust out the Jeep.....It's been doing this stuff for 70+ years....so I'm sure it's seen and done it all! Bit cold of a ride when the Snow is...
I appreciate it, everyone...His memory being shared is like he is still with me.....and to quote one of my favorite replies, someone was cutting up onions as I wrote it as well!
I was chatting with a member on here about hunting, and he said something o the effect of listening to an old man brag about memories of the past, and it made me think of my hunting partner and great friend, Harry Sprague. Harry was a retired Marine Corp Colonel with 3 tours of Vietnam under his...
My best hunting buddy was a 71 year old Re-tired Marine Corp Colonel but unfortunately he lost his battle with cancer in 2013. Great man with great stories. As you can guess an ex sailor (me) and an ex marine had lotsa jabs and barbs at each other. I can handle any stories as long as when the...
I think he was in the range of 10+ years...he had been seen for a long time and never caught...I spoke to one old timer who said he'd seen him come into the little slab of private during the winter for many years, and that he was a 5 point for awhile, and as he got older he started to decline...
Stumbled across the pics of a nice big old 3x3 I got several years back. I also managed to get a photo of him two years earlier. Thought I'd share them with you to get us through the wait for next season.
