One bit of advice. I would make sure you are able to kill elk and deer on demand before heading into the UL's. If you haven't killed a good bunch of critters then it might be a good idea to become proficient at harvesting animals before entering the UL's. This isn't the place to cut your...
I think it is great that this is offered. Obviously Randy is the DIY guy. I don't think that means that he can never go on a guided hunt. Randy is a huge advocate for public land and DIY hunting but I think he should also be able to go on guided hunts when it works out of him. If he...
Me and my rifle are best friends when I'm in the UL's. I don't think it ever gets out of reach the entire time. I have been adding weight to certain areas of my pack and taking weight from other areas. It's kind of a game and there really is no finish line.
I owned the razor 11X33. Leave it in the truck for this hunt. You need something much better glass than that for hunting in the UL's. If you want the razor line then look at their bigger glass.
I Bring my swaro 65mm BTX. I'm thinking about getting the ATX to save a bit of weight. Not sure yet. Not sure I would give up my spotter on this hunt. I am going in with the swaro NL 12's this year instead of my 15's. Should save some weight and they are really clean with an...
A rifle is the answer for me. I won't carry bear spray again. If the bear has decided that we are going to have a confrontation then I'm going to put lead in his direction and not a can full of spices.
Well it has the potential to be much colder. The area has a good chance of not being accessible at that time of year due to snow. The right unit and conditions could make for an interesting hunt.
The other issue might be putting the sheep in a more vulnerable area due to the rut and...
Well no man bun here. Don't and won't own a 6.5CM. The gun I carry into the UL's each year is a 30 cal. The last time I talked so Shawn he said a pistol is a good choice if you feel the need to put yourself out of your misery but isn't real effective on bears.
Hunters biggest issue is...
If I was a resident of MT I would look really hard at the units that normally fill later in the season when the rams migrate out of the park or WY. That is where I would go hunt. The only reason I don't hunt that type of hunt is the weather. It is all determined by the weather and I would...
So who is in this year? Been working on gear and hitting the gym!!!!!!! Bought a lighter stock for my gun. Dropped some weight with bino's and thinking about a few other changes to drop some weight of the pack (maybe I should start with the guy carrying the pack?) and still be comfortable...
Before you guy a bear tag......I would take a hike into the UL's. I've seen some black bears that are absolute giants. I've seen black bears that are bigger than grizzly's. One year we saw a giant and my buddy had a bear tag. We couldn't come to the conclusion it was a good idea to kill...
The worst thing you can do is go look at a bunch of youtube video's and pics or rams.......then go hunt the unlimiteds.......After a few days you realize that you are not in the same location those video's and pic's were taken. Maybe download the video's and take them with you so you can...
