    Montana D & E this week??

    I didn't draw the LE bull elk permit, hopefully I donated it to @Gerald Martin. Its alright though, my oldest boy will be 10 yrs old and it will be fun trying to get him on his first deer(preferably a whitetail buck) this fall.

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    I was thinking this today. If, historically speaking, 40% of NR use an outfitter, that number suddenly changes if 143 doesn't pass? There hasn't been outfitter-sponsored tags for 10 years now and the numbers have stayed the same, the economy is ok(or at least people are still applying for tags...

    Have Any of You Observed a Wildlife Law Violation ? What Did you Do ?

    I turned in a guy who was hunting geese during the early season split. He was hunting a field right behind our church and I thought about going over and telling him that season was closed but decided to call instead.

    Coffee at home

    I use a French press almost exclusively. Normally I get beans from Mazevo (one of our local coffee shops) because I know the owners and its fresh. But we also get beans from my wife's uncle.

    Was 2020 your best hunting year ever?

    Yes, it was a pretty fantastic year, for results as well as time spent in the field. Cow moose, antelope, wt and mule deer, a pile of pheasants and sharptails, couple of huns, first ever chukar, and a couple of limits of geese and ducks to round it out. My favorite parts were spending a week in...

    Recovered Bullets

    131gr Hammer Hunter, MV of 3415 fps, impact velocity about 3000 fps. I harvested a cow moose this fall and it was the first critter I’ve taken with Hammers. First shot went through, this was the second shot. She was quartering away, it went in about the 4th or 5th rib from the bottom and I found...

    7mm Rem Mag Bullet Recommendation for Weatherby Vanguard 26" 1-9 1/2 twist

    Barnes 139 or 145 LRX worked well for me in the past. This is what I'm using currently with my 7RM, 9.5 twist at 3415 fps. If you go with Hammer, make sure you check the twist rate. https://hammerbullets.com/product/284-cal-133g-hammer-hunter/
