What is interesting is the downward tick in 2022. Curious if that trend is continuing. Lot of growth precovid, but everyone became hunter during that period. I bet the novelty wears off for a lot of people.
Been bowhunting 25 years. I've wounded one. I usually harvest one deer with a bow each year. I've yet to draw on an elk.
I've had some difficult tracking, but I've always found them. I refrain from taking crazy shots. 95% of my shots have been under 25 yards.
Prefect plan. Bad execution. They showed up as expected but I miss judged my yardage. Fortunately, a total miss. I have never missed. So frustrating, but happy it wasn't a bad miss. Went to our evening spot later in the day. I made a stalk and got within 50 yards but I did not like the...
I've been trying to pattern these damn whitetails on a piece of ag land. Well, after four days of sneaking around I have it figured out. I let the place sit for over a week so they should be back to their routine. And here is the best part. I have a tree I can actually climb. Thank God...
I find this to be absolutely brutal. I have nothing factual or scientific. Just my gut. Everything has a cause and effect. I guess time will tell. But our track record when it comes to low impact is not great.
Open usable land that can be equally shared by humans plants, insects and...
I have one of those cheapo ones as well. Got it for ten bucks, used. I use it a lot because I will also use it for veggies, not just meat. It's a great tool to have in the kitchen. Problem is they get very expensive.
The thickness plate on mine is kind of flimsy. So I find myself...
Okay, so she really isn't a bird dog, but she has a killer nose. She doesn't point. And she wants to eat the birds. But she is my buddy and we have lots of fun.
This right here. Very well stated. My career was commercial banking and commercial real estate. There is a reckoning coming in the office sector nationwide. Will it impact Montana? Probably to the extent that residential use will be more valuable than office given the current housing...
Not sure this helps but I provided BC, type of bullet, weight in grains, bullet speed, altitude, avg temp., twist rate (I think), and scope height to Leupold.
The results were exact when compared to my Hornady app and dope card.
“The Breaks have been getting lots of pressure lately, especially since Covid. There’s a lot of public land, and we’ve liberalized elk harvest, so there are a lot of hunters, and pressure on the deer has grown tremendously,” Andersen said.
Any chance so called influencers played a role?
I'm a stone glacier user. It's hauled three elk, a bear, a bunch of deer, rocks and other sundry items. It's is not only my hauler, it's my pack for creek fishing in the mountains and my everyday hiking and scouting pack. It gets beaten to death. I have a 5800 strapped to it. I love its...
