    Lazer eye surgery costs?

    My father in Law negotiated with on of the best US Docs at the time (D.C./Virginia area?) to 10% over the price he could have it done in Canada. It took him some time to negotiate the deal, but in the end, he has perfect vision. He had been in glasses since he was a youth. If the cost seems...

    Big MT ELK

    Greenhorn - I hunted the est side of this district, and I am eating my tag this year. Problem was I saw a really good bull early, and couldn't get on him in 4 days of trying. Passed on a smaller bull and ended up with tag soup. It is some really rugged country, with good numbers of elk, but...

    Question for the ologist here

    mtmiller - AMEN! to that! I have heard the assumption that younger bucks pass on inferior genetics so many times that it makes me want to puke! I wish I knew where it started, but it is total B.S. Age has nothing to do with genetics, it only allows you to see antler genetics potential...

    Nice Eastern MT Muley

    That dog in the pic looks like the last time I saw him. Happy to be a taxidermist's dog... I bet there was some other good bucks in by this time of year. I stopped by wednesday of opening week, and he had a few really good whitetails in. That Mulie is a Nice Buck, I'd guess high 180's.

    R.I.P - Copper

    My sympathy extends to your family, particularly your son. I am considering a pup for our family, as our last dog's fear of fireworks got the best of him New year's 2005. Heck of a time to lose a good hunting partner... shortside

    2007 Montana Whitey

    Montana only allows a single "picka region" doe tag for the state, and mine is not for this region/area, so no does were harmed during this hunt. There are not a huge number of deer in this area, and I would like there to be more, so I try to leave the younger bucks and does go. Plenty of...

    2007 Montana Whitey

    :) Well, after not seeing a lot of promising sign, I dropped the first 5-point that I saw last Friday morning. This is a good 3 1/2 year-old deer, but I saw a better one Saturday morning, while trying to get a good deer lined out for my Dad. Dad was able to get a great sneak on him, but...

    Idaho Bull Breaking 400 inch mark ?????

    I heard through my neighbor, that his friend had killed a 425 +/- Bull in the area near the Idaho/Wyoming Border. The hunter is not really into publicity, or records, and just acknowledges it as a big bull. The guy lives here in the Bitterroot, so I will try to get more information, and photos...
