    Seek Outside packs

    I have a revolution. It is comfortable, light, and dependable. I don't worry about breaking it when I carry a heavy load, which is critical. There are a couple good reviews over at Rokslide.

    $800 to $1000 vortex, leupold or some other brand scope?

    I know I'm looking at a VX-5 for a scope.

    Montana Deer and Elk Drawing Dilemma

    I'd look to Region 1 for the elk hunting. Way over objective up there and lots of giants.

    Montana region 3 elk

    You could camp along the Ruby, Big Hole, or Beaverhead Rivers. I'd be careful about trying to both fish and hunt before you get an elk. While it sounds nice, if you're serious about killing an elk, it'll likely require all of your focus.

    Snow and March Warm Up

    I see that the HiLine is still plenty cold, but the rest of the state appears to have warmed up and it is expected to remain that way for a while. Many areas of the state are hitting the 40s during the day. This might be just the break that the deer need. Is the snow opening up in Regions 4 and...

    Montana Deer Permit - 455 vs. 270

    Those are very nice bucks, but again I think you can do that well in a general area on the western side of the state if you put in the time.

    Wyoming 2 track roads

    Roads on public land are not always open to public vehicle travel. BLM maps are good for land ownership, but they don't generally show what is open and what is closed. IF the local BLM has conducted a travel management plan, you should be able to get a copy of that plan with some digging on the...

    Montana region 3 elk

    From my experience, elk hunting down low in the late season can be quite good. Elk are often at the tops of the mountains during opener.

    Montana Deer Permit - 455 vs. 270

    Seems to me that there is pretty good whitetail hunting with a general tag in western Montana. I think a person can find a 140 class whitetail with an A license if they put in the time. Big mule deer are a lot harder to come by in this part of the state.

    Montana region 3 elk

    I recommend narrowing the search down to a couple units and then calling the local biologists to pick their brains. Some units are more forested than others, some have big migrations, and some have private land issues. Those factors will affect the hunting in each. If you are fit, I recommend...

    Do you think Utah points are worth it?

    You'll be 54 with 20 points. If you take care of yourself you'll still be in good shape to hunt at that age.

    CWD - Spreading and testing

    That's probably right, but there are also zero known cases of CWD crossing the species barrier into humans. While likely to happen at some point, the risk is low. I think if a person's deer comes back negative, they shouldn't worry about it.

    Go hunt.com

    The draw odds seem precise and the interactive website is fun, but I think they've tried to tackle too much too fast by providing breakdowns on every unit in the West.

    Kimber 84M

    I own two Kimber rifles. Unless you handload I'd purchase one in a commonly produced cartridge. The light barrels can be finicky and there is a chance you'll need to search for a load that your gun likes. They are nice to carry in the field.

    Couple Muley Bucks

    Looks like that bigger one on the bottom right has a forked kicker and some other extras. Pretty nice.

    What do you think of this ram ?

    Keep in mind that many folks commenting on this post are from Montana. Because of places like the Missouri Breaks, we have a skewed perspective about what makes a big sheep. I'd adjust my expectations if I had a tag in other places, and that's a nice ram.
