    Loosing a friend

    Praying for you guys. And please be gentle on yourself. Grieving is deeply personal and people do it differently.

    FWP’S BIENNIAL HUNTING SEASON-SETTING PROCESS BEGINS IN JUNE

    If Montana must have a 5-week firearm season in Oct/Nov and a muzzleloader season, I wish they’d merge the two ideas and have 3 weeks of modern rifle and then the last 2 weeks for primitive muzzleloaders. Doesn’t seem like a big ask, but it would have to help the mule deer some. Would be a small...

    Spooked and Humbled

    So does this mean you’ll never again start a HT entry with: “Dressed in cotton with one in the chamber…”???? Edit: Just saw that @Mica Man beat me to the punch. 😂😂😂

    An event of extreme importance

    It’s a whole new world, a whole new wonderful world once your little ones start joining you. I’ve really tried to concentrate on opportunities where they’d see a lot of game. It’s made for some fun times so far.

    An event of extreme importance

    We cut up Luke’s deer, and I hauled it back toward to the river as darkness closed the boy’s first day of hunting. Back at the water’s edge, we had the chance to sit on the bank and watch the bright crescent moon illuminate the ripples and eddies. We chatted about the day that we both will never...

    An event of extreme importance

    I flipped off the safety for my boy and he pressed the trigger. The buck couldn’t hit the dirt fast enough. And the look on my youngest’s face will stay with me until death or senility, whichever comes first. After an emphatic high-five, he jumped to his feet and ran toward my dad with his...

    An event of extreme importance

    Ten minutes or so after our little debate, I watched a deer skip into the wheat stubble. I pressed the binos to my face and started relaying information to Luke who was still prone behind his rifle. “It’s a little buck, Luke. Do you see it?” “Yeah, I see it. Can I shoot it?” “You can shoot it if...

    An event of extreme importance

    We made it across the river and settled under a shady cottonwood on the edge of a cut wheat field, the same field that delivered a whitetail to me and the 257 a year earlier. I explained to Luke that we would get him comfortable behind the rifle, lying prone over my pack and simply wait for the...

    An event of extreme importance

    Back in 2020, I bought Luke a 257 Weatherby magnum. Yes, a little hot for a youngster. But I had fun with it and tinkered around a bit as he grew. A Bell & Carlson stock cut down to 12-1/2” LOP was added this year. It now fits him well. And with the Weatherby accubrake threaded onto the end of...
