Cable cutter for Snares?
First off, I am a half a** trapper. Caught 3 bobcats a few mink and an ermine so far this season. I have almost lost 2 of my labs to snares. I was not bird hunting, just out exploring a couple of drainages a few miles from home. Thankfully, I was able to get the first one off just as my dog...- theat

Whatever you do, get out of your truck as little as possible. That end justifies all means.
Watch out for the grizzlies! I still vividly remember what happened the last time I was up there with you.- theat

MT Ram
We didn't do the workups on that project. Since we were relatively close to town and had short distances from the winter range to the staging area, we used slings to get the sheep down for an FWP team to work on them. I believe that was the only or at least the only semi-mature ram that we...- theat

MT Ram
This is a young ram we caught on the winter range back in February 2018. Might be a decent ram with three more years on him, if he is still around. Good luck!!- theat

MT upland opener reports
I have been having a surprisingly good fall bird hunting. I spent opening week of pheasant and antelope out in far eastern Montana. As long as there was cover and water near by, we had no problem finding birds. The key was to find areas that hadn't been overgrazed by cattle. I spent the last 10...- theat

680 Ewe hunt
Do you have the west side or east side tag? I have the tag for the east side of the unit this year, but I have had the west side tag four times and have also helped friends fill it as well. If that is the one you have and want any pointers on places to look, access, glassing spots etc feel free...- theat

Google Bot Data Mined Super-Fund Site
My last successful unlimited ram hunt was solo. When I made my final 2000' climb up to where the group of rams where bedded, I ditched most of what was in my pack. I shot the ram early afternoon and had plenty of time to get him deboned. I made the decision to pack the whole thing back down the...- theat

Salmon, Bears, Super Cub, Packrafts, Glaciers and Whitewater
We woke up early the next morning with the hope of making our 5 mile ocean crossing before the afternoon winds picked up. There was a porcupine way out on the beach where we inflated our rafts that gave me a couple good poses for pics. Ended up being a beautiful day and the crossing was...- theat

Salmon, Bears, Super Cub, Packrafts, Glaciers and Whitewater
We woke up the next morning to a rare beautiful sunny day. We knew from my research as well as the scouting we did on the flights in, that there was a long significant rapid at the outlet of the lake. Our camp was about 3/4 of a mile away from it, but it still sounded pretty ominous while...- theat

Salmon, Bears, Super Cub, Packrafts, Glaciers and Whitewater
Our pilot was concerned about the high winds, but finally decided that he would give it try to get us in to our desired destination. I thought it was going to be a no go when a big gust picked up one of the tundra tires and spun the plane about 20 degrees just after the first passenger squeezed...- theat

Salmon, Bears, Super Cub, Packrafts, Glaciers and Whitewater
Just got home from a quick trip up to SE Alaska. The primary goal of the trip was to get flown into a remote river that starts at the terminus of a glacier and packraft out to the ocean. After a bunch of research which primarily consisted of talking to locals and the only local commercial super...- theat

Wolf attacks
So, in the past 95 years there has been 2 fatal wild wolf attacks in North America? There are 30-50 human fatalities each year from domestic dogs. I think I will feel much safer wandering through the wolf infested woods than taking a stroll through the local dog park.- theat

MT - Changes in Hunting Regs/Units/Seasons coming this month
If the rumors I have heard are true, big game hunting on public lands in MT are going to switch from spiraling down hill to rocketing down hill. -

Joe Gutkoski, RIP.
I was fairly new to serious hunting when I first read that article in 2002. I was fascinated by the man and was able to scrounge up a couple more articles about him and his exploits. Wish I still had them to share. Reading about him helped give me the motivation and confidence to spend many a...- theat

Extreme huntress is an extreme idiot
Before I read the article I thought for sure it was going to be about the "extreme huntress" winner that I know here in Montana. I think she is the winner from a couple/few years earlier than the one in the article. I have never hunted with her, but I did once with her husband and he is a...- theat

Drought for the west
This is the fire just down the road from my house. Been going since a storm came through on July 7th and started around a dozen fires. Even with limited resources they got them all out except this one. The team working it has been doing a good job slowly bringing it down to the valley where they...- theat

Really good ANWR podcast
I have also set foot in ANWR. You are right in that the coastal plain within the 1002 oil development area is not particularly scenic, but that isn't why it is an important part of ANWR. The 1002 area happens to be where between 1/2 and 3/4 of the Porcupine Caribou herd spends May-July. This is...- theat

Does anybody really regulate outfitters on USFS lands?
At least it sounds like the outfitters in your area each have a designated "consignment" area. In the district where I live there are 10 different outfitters that can all hunt on any USFS lands within the district. There are only a handful of areas that have decent elk concentrations in the...- theat
