    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    I'm gathering contact info (name, email, HD) now until July/ August. Sometime in August I'll reach out to everyone I have contact info for and get satellite communicator info. I'll compile a list organized by HD and then email that info back out to everyone. The idea is that you'll have a list...

    The one that got away...

    The best day of hunting I've ever had ended without a shot being fired. I got to the trailhead well before light and climbed to a glassing spot I had used a few times before - a large boulder field about 1600' above the trail/ creek that offers a great vantage of the high basin across the...

    Marriage advise

    This was my first game animal of any kind. Aside from Youtube I had never seen an animal gutted, butchered, quartered, etc. I think it took me about 4-5 hours to get all the edible meat off of him, but I got it done and he tasted great! First-hand experience is the best teacher. For reference...

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    Keep the pictures coming... they are awesome! FWIW, Garmin confirmed what many of you have already said about turning off your location when sending messages.

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    Haha, it seems like you'll have a legal ram in your crosshairs pretty soon. It's been really cool to watch guys like you, MTGomer, Bighorn, and others go through the process over the years. I admire the adventure-oriented attitude and willingness to "fail" (as in not harvesting an animal) that...

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    Yep, all three are from the same district...I wasn't too concerned about giving away my district since I'm on the 5-10 year harvest plan anyway😀.

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    Those are just some pics of the unit I had handy - if I had to lock in a 9 day plan right now, I'd be heading elsewhere within the unit. The process of figuring it out through trial and error is a huge part of the appeal to me... I really like reading the MSU theses, learning what I can about...

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    Somehow I overlooked BuzzH's input: it sounds like turning off the GPS tag is possible when sending out a message.

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    Here's what I sent to Garmin; I'll update when I hear back. Is there a way to turn off the GPS location tag that is attached to an outgoing or incoming InReach message? For context, I am trying to set up a safety network for a group of individuals who will all be hunting within the same...

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    I've never used a satellite messenger so I wasn't aware of the GPS tag on messages - thanks EYJonas! for the heads up on that. I absolutely don't want this to turn into a way for someone to steal hard-earned intel. I'll contact Garmin and see if there would be an easy way to communicate with...

    MT Sheep HDs 500 & 501 Safety Network

    I'm hoping to put together a contact list for those of us who will be hunting HDs 500 or 501 during the opener in 2019. If interested, shoot me a PM with your name (or code name if you don't want your name linked to a specific HD on the list), email address, and chosen HD. In August I'll reach...

    Luxe Tipi

    I think you'll really like the floorless approach - I haven't used anything else for the past five years. I like to sew an 18" panel of silnylon along the back half perimeter of the shelter and then mesh along the front half perimeter (instead of using an inner nest). Pitch it so that the door...

    It looks like HB390 was tabled as of 3/14. Hopefully it dies there... https://trackbill.com/bill/montana-house-bill-390-make-certain-special-hunting-licenses-once-in-a-lifetime-harvest/1673368/

    I agree 1000%! Leave the MSG regs alone. If politicians insist on dicking with stuff they know nothing about, make all the districts OIL to at least preserve the opportunity and experience...I'd rather spend a lifetime in the unlimiteds looking for one special ram than lose the privilege...
