Interesting research in Idaho... F&G collaring mule deer bucks to get a better look at long-term survival By Brian Pearson, Conservation Public Information Specialist Tuesday, January 21, 2020 - 12:55 PM MST Wildlife... -
How are Animals fairing so far this winter
I think the Montana winter has been pretty easy on wildlife so far, but we have a few months to go before the cold weather will be behind us. I know that Idaho just got hammered with a big snow storm, and I don't know if extreme SW Montana caught some of that. -
Odds of using an Idaho OTC General Tag for Bear, Mountain Lion, or Wolf
I think if you're in the mountains in an area with timber you have a decent shot of seeing a black bear. Mountain lion pretty rare (although I've seen three cats in two years while hunting in Montana). Wolves probably somewhere in-between. -
Well There Goes Idaho
I don't know many Californians in Missoula. It seems like most of our newcomers are from Washington state, the midwest and east coast. At least the people I know.- joelweb

Advice for rechambering .257 Roberts to AI
My rifle is now in the hands of Dan Coffin for rechambering. I can't wait to get it back and to start tinkering with loads. Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions. -

Montana on the Upswing?
I'm glad I could get all you guys fired up! Clearly a passionate subject that we all enjoy debating. You're right, Buzz. I didn't hunt in Montana during the '60s and '70s, and I know there were some great bucks taken then. I also know that counties like Madison were producing Booners in that... -

Montana on the Upswing?
Why are the non-bitterroot trophy units subpar? -
Montana on the Upswing?
I agree with a lot of the points made here, and I want to throw out yet another angle on this: I don't think most units in Montana have the trophy potential of units in other western states. The only Montana hunting districts where a trophy tag can offer you a good opportunity at a 180"+ buck... -

Thanks for the insight and advice fellas. You've left me with several things to consider as I pursue this. -
Advice for rechambering .257 Roberts to AI
Thanks. I'll look him up. Has he done work for you? -
Advice for rechambering .257 Roberts to AI
I appreciate your perspective, but I'd don't really care about that with this one (within reason, of course). Just looking to enjoy a project and make this gun better. -
Advice for rechambering .257 Roberts to AI
Thanks guys. I will go talk to AccuArms in Missoula and see what they have to say. I also get to Helena fairly regularly, so that is an option. This gun doesn't have much mileage on it, and the original barrel is like new. I also have a fair amount of brass, but I haven't put a lot of thought... -
Advice for rechambering .257 Roberts to AI
I started handloading a couple years back and finally have dialed the recipe for my go to elk and deer gun. That has me thinking about the other rifles in my safe, especially a Kimber 84 in .257 Roberts. Since I'm no longer buying factory ammo, I'm thinking about having this rifle rechambered... -
Montana on the Upswing?
Back to the original question, I think the wet summer weather helped with antler quality this year. It was green all summer long and nutrition was exceptional. -
USFS suddenly shuts public roads prior to elk hunt
I'd be upset too. The agency shouldn't be closing roads due to snow like this. They certainly don't in Montana.- joelweb
