    Honda Trail 90

    I bought a 64 Trail 90 about 15 years ago from a old lady. It was tucked in the back of an old barn covered in dust. She said that her husband had passed away about 10 years earlier and she didn't remember him using it since the 80's. With a couple hours of work that thing purred like a kitten...

    OLD GUY FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND B.C. Canada

    Welcome. I've had the privilege of spending some time working and recreating on your beautiful island. I used to work for the International Boundary Commission and my first job was surveying the border monuments on the Olympic Peninsula and southern tip of Vancouver Island. As part of that I had...

    I made a free draw odds site for Montana

    Well thankfully we are only 18 days in, so lots of time for improvement. Although, I would suggest that your post I was replying to deserves the honor. When someone is learning a new skill (in this case to try and get a job) and is willing to share their work with us FOR FREE, I can't think of...

    Wolves

    No, those are from all over the western half of the state. From Darby, Helena, RM front, Gardiner, Dillon, Big Timber, Red Lodge and a few other areas. I’d be pretty surprised if any of those wolves are still alive now. Those were caught in 2015-2017.

    Ice fishing

    I eat plenty of fish, but can only handle cleaning and eating so many pike. This water is also fairly polluted with old mine runoff and it is highly recommended not to eat large pike. The river has been contaminated with heavy metals since way back in the late 1800's but it got way worse after...

    Ice fishing

    In the past I have always used 2 trebles on a quick strike rig or something similar. I used to hook them closer to the front and back of the smelt but tried moving them closer to the middle like Sask hunter mentioned. It helped a bit, but I still get about 50%-60% of the fish swallowing the...

    Ice fishing

    Sure did! Had a little hammer handle on it. I've switched over to circle hooks when I'm not planning on keeping any. That little bugger had swallowed the smelt enough to where I couldn't see it down his throat. When I pulled on the leader it slid right out. He was never even hooked even though...

    Ice fishing

    Since it was such a nice day I decided to spend the evening out on the ice in front of the house. Glad I made that decision as I caught this big girl along with a few other small ones. It has been quite a few years since I have iced one this big. She is back under the ice and hopefully resting...

    Northwest Colorado Deer Herd Management Plans open to public comment

    No idea what all was gleaned from the studies as I was just a grunt working for a contractor and haven't stayed in touch with the biologist down there. I would assume that you could get some info from either CPW or by contacting Chuck or another biologist in the area. Definitely agree that...

    Northwest Colorado Deer Herd Management Plans open to public comment

    I also had the privilege of being a small part of the mule deer project Chuck Anderson has been doing out of Meeker. I was there for the December 2015, 2016 and 2017 captures but mostly worked on Darbys projects and just filled in on Chucks when they where falling behind. I was pretty impressed...

    Joined the Hot Tent group!!!

    My friend bought that same hammock tent, one of their teepees and a smaller stove. The teepee and stove seem pretty nice, but much heavier than the other teepees and stoves I have used. All of them appear to be a good deal for the price. The Tegimen tent seems pretty nice too, but it leaked like...

    What is wrong with Wisconsin Hunters?

    I do that sometimes too. These guys pulled up and parked next to our truck after we had crossed the fence and walked a couple hundred yards. I only know they had Wisconsin plates since it was a very distinct looking truck and I had noticed their plates when we drove by them at a different spot...

    What is wrong with Wisconsin Hunters?

    I thought we would catch up to them too. We did have to gain about 300' in elevation up the side of the hill that had 3-6' snow drifts so that slowed us down a bunch. They still must have been practically running to get out of there before we could catch up.

    What is wrong with Wisconsin Hunters?

    Just left another message with the warden in that area. I mentioned that if I didn't hear anything back after several attempts to contact him, I was going to get in touch with the regional warden captain. Hopefully that will get him to call me back.

    What is wrong with Wisconsin Hunters?

    Oh, for sure. Hence the last sentence I wrote. Just found it interesting that those two instances happened the week before I read that article about 6 people getting shot opening weekend of Wisconsins gun season.

    What is wrong with Wisconsin Hunters?

    I was out in central Montana hunting for deer last week and had a couple unpleasant encounters with two groups of hunters from Wisconsin. The first two guys parked right next to my truck about 1/2 and hour after we started hiking and followed our tracks in the snow behind us. They ended up...
