    Favorite Whisky(ey), Bourbon, Scotch, Gin, Cigar, Pipe Tobacco, etc

    So many whiskey's.... Eagle Rare is a good safe go to for me. Especially putting into a flask for late nights in the backcountry.

    Wall Tent for Family Camping

    We've got both Kodiak Canvas and a wall tent. I like the wall tent for colder weather, because of the stove - but have camped in the Kodiak into November before. For just family camping in the summer and early fall, the Kodiak is great. It doesn't take up as much space in the truck /...

    How do I field Score a Trophy Cow Elk?

    I think we should start a scoring system and then become Certified for scoring. Users can submit a 2-3 pound sample and the scorer will grade the meat and return an un-biased score. We could include some criteria, such as Taste, Tenderness, Marbling. Taste could be a bit subjective - but I...

    how much and long will a dead rabbit smell?

    20ish years ago I was working at a lab on campus in Bozeman. I always started work around 7 - and one morning the campus crew was out taking care of some gophers. 2 in a crew and they had a tank of water on the back of a 4-wheeler. One manned the hose and the other had a baseball bat. It was...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    A service that is tied to a public resource. Which you want unfettered access to (sell all the service). I get the argument. There is a limited amount of public resource.

    Montana Moose Sheep Goat RESULTS

    Nothing here either. Which is probably good because I have a first time hunter this year and need to devote time there. #consolationtheory

    You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet

    I've also noticed that auction prices have been crazy high. Gun values still tend to be in range - but reloading components are way too high. Good time to be in the auction business I guess.

    Holy Crap!

    Holy crap. That whole thing is crazy.

    Old and accurate Husqvarna Mauser

    That is a sweet find, love the stock on that one. I need to workup loads for my .243 shortly. Some of the 80 gr Hammer's will be fun.

    Also, WTF is an "inedible moose"? and how am I entitled to another tag?

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    I've been holding off on emails, after the vote because I don't want to torch any bridges - even though it would feel good right now - I know it would not be productive. I just have to leave it at that for now.

    What food do most like, but you can't stand?

    We eat lots of different stuff - and expose the kids to many different types of food. Sometimes one of the kids would not like a particular item - and still do to some extent - like for a while one didn't like butter, or potatoes, etc. I would always say, "Well I know you didn't like it last...

    Elk in a Fine Restaurant

    I've always had a standing rule to never eat game meat from a restaurant, in the US anyway. I never wanted to give any support to game farms. Plus, it's tough to spend money on it when I have a freezer full at home. I broke the rule once, at the Pearl in Missoula 15 years ago or so. It was...

    Done. Thanks for the heads up.

    What food do most like, but you can't stand?

    For the liver haters (or dislikers) out there. Just like all wild game, if it's overcooked it's not as good. If it's pink in the middle, it'll be tasty. If it's chalky then 90% of folks won't like it.

    Is 22 FPS worth it?

    I would go shoot the new bow option and see if you like it more than what you currently have. I don't worry about the IBO speed that much, because I change the arrow setup so that they are moving between 280 and 290 FPS. I like fixed broadheads - and getting them to tune well over 290 FPS can...

    Stirring the pot on shot placement

    One thing to keep in mind is that younger / newer hunters will learn a specific aiming point and it will take conscious thought to move off that aiming point later in life. My Dad was taught head/neck shots (back in the 50's). He taught us for heart shots. I usually try for lungs now, but if...

    Population Growth and Hunting in Rocky Mountain States

    One item that hasn't been brought up that has had the biggest change in hunting MT is the advent of the land-ownership mapping programs (OnX, goHUNT, etc). Knowing that a person can drive out on a specific road until they hit BLM ground and just start hunting is a huge shift. We used to spend...
