Winter hunting out of a backpacking tent?
I want to thank everyone for their wisdom and insight; it is much appreciated! I think this winter I will probably just camp within a half mile (or whatever the FWP limit is) of the trailhead so that I can test my gear and just get used to long hours sitting in the tent while still being able... -
Winter hunting out of a backpacking tent?
I'm interested in possibly doing some backpack hunting this fall during MT's rifle season, but I have a few questions for you experienced guys: (1) How did you keep boots and clothes from freezing overnight? Drying out clothes with a fire is a great option, but are there any other techniques... -
Antelope tomorrow perhaps?
I think I drew an antelope tag... on the FWP website it says that I have an antelope license under "Items Held", but my three choices are labeled as still pending under "Drawing Results." So does this mean I got a tag?- kad11

Binoculars vs. Spotting Scope for Mountain Hunting?
I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and wisdom; I have definitely learned a lot on this website and will approach this coming spring season much differently. This is off-topic from the original post, but has anyone ever read "Montana: Land of Giant Rams" by Duncan Gilchrist...- kad11

Spot and Stalk Bear hunting video?
I've got a DVD called "The Bear Stalker" ; first half consists of guys archery hunting coastal black bears in Alaska while the second half is rifle hunting in Arizona. It's a little over an hour long. I'd be willing to part with it for $10 shipped if you're interested.- kad11

Binoculars vs. Spotting Scope for Mountain Hunting?
Well thank you for your encouragement; I really do appreciate it! I've always been pretty cheap and tight with my money, but I'm learning that there are certain things where you do actually "get what you pay for." By the time I can save up enough money to even consider buying a spotting scope...- kad11

Binoculars vs. Spotting Scope for Mountain Hunting?
I really appreciate everyone's advice and input; at this point I think I am going to hold on to the two pairs of binos I have and just save my money... as I gain experience I think I'll develop a better idea of what's necessary and what's not. I was under the impression that a lot of guys used...- kad11

Binoculars vs. Spotting Scope for Mountain Hunting?
Here is a little background on me to hopefully help put my question in context: -I did not grow up hunting and just finished my first season this past fall, so I’m very, very inexperienced. -I hunt as often as I can and as many species as I can (elk, deer, bear, and wolf so far…hopefully...- kad11

Late Season MT Wolf Hunt - any advice?
I am in the same boat as you; I have been heading out most weekends since the end of the general big game seasons and I have yet to see anything. Since we're talking about hunting wolves I think it's probably ok to share specifics (someone please correct me if I am wrong)... I have looked...- kad11

Montana Spring Bears.. the tally
Thanks for the advice. I haven't tried that tactic before so I'll have to give that a shot. There's almost as much green up on the forested slopes as there is on the more exposed slopes in the areas I have been recently; will glassing slopes become less and less effective as spring/ summer...- kad11

Montana Spring Bears.. the tally
I have been out about 10 times and have seen zero bears; this is my first season hunting anything so I'm not too surprised at my fortunes so far, but does anyone have any advice? I've been heading out in the evenings and setting up over open/ broken hillsides to glass. I've been hunting...- kad11
