    Opinion on MT Missouri River Breaks Special Rifle Tags (worth the bonus points?)

    Anything ~ 300+ would make me extremely happy. I have no desire to hold on to points forever to "try" for HD 380 or an equivalent, so that's why I am considering a Breaks tag. My goal would be for the hunt to be a slightly "social" hunt, set up the wall tent, and be able to look over a fair...

    Advice on Elk Tongue preparation?

    All, Wondering how you all have prepared venison tongue for consumption in the past or what your favorite method has been? About the only thing I have seen is a 5-day brine followed by cooking in hot water for a couple of hours to get the outside skin layer off.
