FWP lies about Corner Crossing
I will second what @wllm mentioned. I grew up in town about half of my childhood. The other half outside of town. Both in Ohio. One place I lived at had a sidewalk and the other place did not. Where do pedestrians walk when there is no sidewalk? On private property. Our road didn’t have a...- Big Sky Guy

NBA Finals
LeBron missed his window for the GOAT conversation. A 4-peat (or more) in Cleveland would have been a strong case. Not taking anything away from him, but IMO to be the GOAT you have to do something no one else has done and he's just chasing rings and stats now. Truly a special player, but a...- Big Sky Guy

Foraged Food Thread
We ended up with about 45-50 gallons between 4 of us over the long weekend. Not as good of a year as last year but still worth the trek. Found a couple burned sheds too.- Big Sky Guy

Artificial Intelligence and Public Comment
@SAJ-99 already beat me to it about calculators. Pretty difficult to predict we would all have smart phones 30 years ago, but here we are and all those math teachers that told me I wouldn’t have a calculator were, for the majority, wrong. Not faulting them for anything just showing that I...- Big Sky Guy

How Old Was that Animal?
Cross section analyzed under microscope. Processed here at Matson’s. (Hello btw, I met you at the elk management thing in Bozeman last year).- Big Sky Guy

5 year old Montana mule deer. Biggest deer I’ve seen on the hoof since 2017.- Big Sky Guy

How Old Was that Animal?
I do not have any data to say otherwise. All I can say is there have been numerous “trophy” class elk come through in their double digits. A 12 year old 410” and 11 year old 350” bull come to mind. I do not know how old they were when they are six. The Steve Felix bull was 6, which scored...- Big Sky Guy

New Sako 90
I hope it does well for Sako. Sako rifles are, IMO, in a class of their own that for whatever reason have never gained as much traction in the US as they should. If the 90 action uses the same inlets and magazines as the 85 I think this could be a turning point and do very well for Sako. The...- Big Sky Guy

1 or 2 man tent
This seems to be my assessment. I am looking to get the copper spur 3 for general backpack tent. I’d like to get the hotel vestibule too and put a stove jack in it. I think weight wise it will be comparable to the Pomoly stuff?- Big Sky Guy

2023 shed thread
I’ve been looking for sheds each spring since 2016. Usually 1-2 a year, I’ve found 11 brown elk in that time span. Went to a new spot this past weekend and found 6, found the largest set the next day at a spot I’ve usually had good luck in. Dreams do come true. 🤩- Big Sky Guy

2023 Montana Draw!!!!
Can’t you still buy points during the 7 year waiting period? If you drew in 2021 and bought a point in 2022 that would make sense to me? Then you will purchase another point after the drawing this year?- Big Sky Guy

2023 Montana Draw!!!!
This year I began saving a copy of how many points I have due to my skepticism in FWP point tracking after the snafu of last years draw. I agree with most on here, at least for this year and I believe last year (but how can I verify I didn’t save a copy last year) that the points are now...- Big Sky Guy

Trophy room build
Curious if you heated this? Also curious if so why not build an insulated floor to cover the foundation? I presume the corrugated tin and keeping floor concrete keeps costs down but just wondered about climate control. Looks like you're in Wyoming so similar climate to us up here in MT. Just...- Big Sky Guy

Jackson WY shed opener
I think it’s a large percentage of those that are serious shed hunters. 20-50% would be my guess. Why do less guys trap/predator hunt today than when my dad was my age? My dad could go calling fox over a weekend and buy a new rifle on Monday. Run a beaver trap line in the winter etc. I’m...- Big Sky Guy

Ruger SFAR 20" 308 Win
Let us know how it shoots. All the videos on YouTube show 16” version. 1-1.5” with most ammo it seemed. Ruger killed it with the price IMO, even though that market does seem saturated, I think it will be successful and see them releasing a 6.5cm version next year. I have been watching for...- Big Sky Guy
