Looking for help - What would you potentially pay for a VRBO/airBnB type hunt
I can see why you are interested in waterfowl hunting it 👀 While I’m spoiled with millions of acres of public land here in the west, I could see why a group of midwesterns would be interested in something like this. It seems like just the housing would be worth at least a $100 bucks a night and...- Bryerific

Favorite 100% copper bullets for 300 Win Mag handloads?
I’ve shot some stuff with both the 190 and 200 LRX handloaded pretty hot out of a 300WM. I bought the 200s when bullets were hard to find but I think they are a little slower than I’d like so I’d recommend the 190 LRX or lighter out of a win mag. I was able to recover one 200gr LRX in a...- Bryerific

Beyond a dream, what's your ultimate hunt?
This thread is already an example of why my dream Yukon moose hunt is outpacing my moose fund! But stories like @Dave N ’s pushes to me to find a way to make it happen while I still have good knees. And that forces me to ponder how I balance saving for retirement vs living life as I go 🤷♂️. I...- Bryerific

MT
Would you consider getting a place in Ranchester and also use the Fort Smith employee housing or rent one of those trailers for a couple nights a week? I don’t know if the job has any flexibility but if you worked 4 ten-hour days you could drive out on Monday morning and come home Thursday...- Bryerific

Elk Pictures w/ Score
Follow up on the bull in post 241. 29 inches of spread and ~9” G1s and 2s doesn’t go very far! -

How long did it take for your first elk?
I killed my first bull on my fourth tag when I was 18. My wife killed her first cow on her third tag and then her first bull with her bow on her fourth. We started hunting together in college and she put in almost 60 days for that first elk (mostly archery hunting although that first cow was... -
Montana 2024 regulation change
Oh I agree with you there. I just posed those as ideas and I’m not attached to either one. I just thought those might be compromises that balance opportunity without worsening the crowding. I’m also usually pro-regulation that avoids increasing complexity. It’s unfortunate, but how many...- Bryerific

Montana 2024 regulation change
I wonder if they would consider making mountain grouse archery-only for nonresidents Sept 1-14? I know at least a few elk hunters that really like their grouse and they’ll be in the woods either way (if crowding is more of a concern than harvest). I would also consider linking it to the big...- Bryerific

Waterfowl ID - This one has me stumped!
Which region was it shot in? And when was it shot? I definitely don’t have an answer, but it would be helpful to know more- Bryerific

Tiny skulls
you are right, calling it a tough puzzle might be a bit dramatic and I’ve already reassembled it once. Now that a bunch of them have split into pieces, I guess it’s the thought of trying to glue them all together/in that keeps it low on the priority list!- Bryerific

I keep meaning to finish cleaning up this skunk skull but now all of the teeth are in a ziplock and that sounds like a tough puzzle.- Bryerific

Lost birds
I really appreciate it when people pride themselves in recovering their birds for reasons beyond taking a picture of a stack or limit. One of the things that turns me off of a lot of hunting buddies is their lack of interest looking for a hard to find bird. Now am I perfect? Definitely not...- Bryerific

Just a Poor Colorado kid!
If it makes you feel better, this September I was waiting for a MT ‘bool’ to expire when I looked down and noticed I had mismatching boots. Maybe it’s good luck? -
