I would prefer that we don’t have to go to LE, and instead, attempt other options first like earlier or somewhat shortened seasons to still provide people opportunity to hunt.
A major benefit of LE, if done right though, is that quotas can be more easily adjusted from year to year. I think this...
Listen to your doctor. Probably plan on doing nothing for 3 days. You’ll most likely feel pretty good and like you can do anything you normally would. Resist that urge. I had several friends warn me from their own experience or friends of theirs that felt good and did normal things. They ended...
I think you make a good point about trusting the experts, and generally that means trusting the biologists. I think there is a lot of issue in MT that the biologists opinion is what they’re told their opinion will be from those much higher than them. Also, I get what you’re saying with guys...
I think overall fewer bucks would be killed in October because a lot of hunters who don’t take it very seriously being primarily road hunters aren’t going see as many deer if they aren’t rutting. It would definitely be a disadvantage to those putting in minimal effort, which I don’t think is a...
The first time I grilled burgers on my recteq pellet grill, I was disappointed and missed my propane for that. Once I changed my cooking method to a lower temp to start and then finishing at higher temp like I mentioned earlier, i’m really happy with how they turn out.
I think one thing that gets misconstrued a lot is that guys want to go all LE or take hunts as you mentioned. The reality is that the majority of even the most ardent supporters (particularly on this site) of changing muley management here in MT don’t want all LE or or that type of extreme. I...
I only have a pellet grill, but I use steak seasoning and smoke at 225 degrees until it hits 135. Then turn up to 400ish and cook 3 minutes. Flip and add cheese if desired, and grill 3-4 more minutes.
On a side note, we double grind through the course grinder both times with 85-90% elk...
In the end, I think most people don’t just want opportunity. They want easy opportunity. That same younger buck is available to hunt in October, but it’s not sniffing a doe 200 yards off the road. Some hiking and glassing is required then.

Here was another gem I saw on the internet today if it posts right. For those with Facebook.
It’s a 26” stainless fluted. I can’t remember what they said the twist was for the new barrel. I’d have to ask them. I want to say around 1:9. I know he said the twist was best for your standard 100-110 gr bullets in that caliber.
I can’t really complain about the beer selection in WY on our trips there. The wife and I had several good WY beers in Thermopolis on her antelope hunt a few years ago. If there were any jobs at all in WY for what I do, I’d have looked into it years ago.
I used to reload Barnes 100 ttsx for it but had been shooting factory the last couple years before the new barrel. A 3” high 100 yard zero with reloads made for about a 3” holdover at 400. It was hard on the antelope. Lol
257 weatherby for sale. It was originally a rem 700 cdl-sf. The only original part left is the rem 700 action. It has a rifle basix trigger and grayboe stock. The stock has a couple factory blemishes that you can see in the pictures. I sent it to snowy mountain rifles last year where they skim...
There really isn’t one way to fix the problem, nor can you ever completely fix it. To make things better though, I think it has to be addressed from several angles.
Demand: First, why is there such a high demand in the U.S. and other developed countries. I get to talk to Canadian RCMP and...
