    Montana Opening Weekend

    I was going to wait till Thursday but I found out a good friend I’d spent several hours with last week tested positive for Covid. So I figured I should try and get out earlier just in case I came down with it. So Monday I went to some private land I’d gained permission to hunt. Sure glad I...

    Montana Opening Weekend

    Yep, I'm waiting until Thursday. It will probably make it a bit harder but I'd much rather have fewer people.

    2020 MT Cow Moose

    2020 has been a crazy year. But in the middle of it all, after 20+ years of applying, I was blessed to draw a cow moose tag Here in MT. I spent a ton of time getting ready over the summer. I was super excited to get to share another hunt with my dad. He’s 71 now and I don’t take this time with...

    Hammer bullets?

    Actually recovered this from the cow moose I harvested last week. 131gr HH from a 7RM. It’s the second shot, she was quartering away. Bullet broke a rib and I found it between the hide and muscle on the opposite front shoulder.

    7mm rem mag - Hammer bullets

    I have a 7RM with a 9.5 twist, 26" barrel. I talked with Steve and he recommended the 131gr Hammer Hunter and RL 23 for me. I haven't completely finished load development but so far I'm getting 3400 fps. Gonna play with seating depth just a little to see if I can tighten my groups up, I'n...

    Longest Shot on a game animal

    I shot my first (and only) antelope last year at 550 yards with my friend’s custom built 6.5x284 with 143gr ELD-X. We were on a small knob looking at another group when we noticed a different group with a nice buck grazing behind us. There was absolutely no way to get any closer without being...

    Jesus Moment

    I was learning to body board and got caught in the “washing machine” of a big wave that broke on me, then an undertow sucked me to the bottom. I started to panic when my pro surfer friend’s instructions popped in my head. I grabbed my board, hugged it then relaxed and held my breath. I remember...

    Browning X-Bolt 7mm rem mag owners

    My X Bolt liked the factory Barnes 140 gr VOR-TX and it also liked our hand-loaded 139 gr Barnes LRX with RL 23. I'm currently working up a load with 131 gr Hammer Hunters and RL 23.

    goHUNT-Randy-onX

    I tried a free trial of GoHunt and it seems to be a great platform for those new to hunting and those hunting multiple states. I only hunt my home state and I have OnX open all the time, for hunting as well as fishing. It’s one of those things that I don’t know what I’d do without now. I’m sure...

    Powder choice

    I did talk with Steve. He said RL23 was a good one to go with, should be able to get those 131HH up to about 3400 FPS. Dad and I are going to do some loading on Monday so we'll see.

    HuntTalkers experiences with Hunt Roster in Montana

    I apparently missed the call last year for a cow. I was number 4 on the list in the hunt district I applied. One week in January I was #4, then the next week I checked I was like #27. Do they not even bother leaving messages if no one answers, just go on to the next number? I was bummed, I could...

    Who else uses a tag as a purchase excuse?

    I leveraged the cow moose tag for new binoculars. I didn’t push it too much though, upgraded from Leupold BX-1’s to BX-4’s.

    Powder choice

    So I just bought some 131 gr. Hammers for my 7RM. I really wanted to go with the 143’s but my rifle only has too slow of a twist (9.5). Anyways, I’ve got some RL 23 that I’ve used with the Barnes LRX I was shooting that works. I also have some RL 26 but I see that mostly 26 is used for heavier...

    Goats

    Saw this group of nannies and kids this morning up Beartooth Pass. Haven’t seen goats up there for a while. The kids were fun to watch run around.
