Are you a Long-Range (shooter) or Closer Range?
While it typically applied to training for sports, long technical climbs, fights, etc. I like the mindset of making your training or practice harder than the real thing may be. Meaning, practice shooting in various positions at the range, really stretch your shots and understand the...- Wrong Burgundy

Landscapes (pics)
Hyalite Canyon morning. Getting ready to rope up for the climb on the left side ("Thin Chance"). Twin Falls can be seen in the distance at the low point in the saddle. It is about a 200 foot frozen waterfall this time of year. Really amazing place to be in the winter.- Wrong Burgundy

Beginner solo hunter advice
Great to hear you are looking to venture out more, and solo if need be. I hunt a lot solo, mostly by choice and sometimes because schedules with hunting buddies just don't align when they need to. Tons of great advice provided for sure. This may be a repeat of some of the other advice given...- Wrong Burgundy

New light weight sleeping bag??
I believe the sleeping bags are made in China, same as the tents (which are just rebranded SlingFin tents.) Same as the apparel too; China, Vietnam likely...doesn't make it necessarily "worse" but domestic manufacturing especially with technical apparel is nearly nonexistent.- Wrong Burgundy

LASIK - Do It
For those of you who have had it done and have had good results, do you need to wear cheaters for close-up work, like on a computer, etc.? I have a mild astigmatism, and am nearsighted, but the doc said I am an eligible "candidate" for it. For me, the biggest appeal is being able to see...- Wrong Burgundy

Protesters/Rioters? Storm Capital
Trump incited this and he is to blame. Period. He has the ability to stop this, and he has built up false hope built on conspiracy theories, lies and BS. And his followers are taking their cue from their dear leader. Trump did little to discourage them from storming the building. Instead, he...- Wrong Burgundy

2020 Montana deer recap
Not a stellar year for deer hunting for me, mostly due to jacked up schedules and some crazy weather at times. I went out a few times on days with gusts north of 40 mph and really only did because I was just itching to hunt. Found a lot of does, a few small bucks and passed on all of them in...- Wrong Burgundy

Which headlamp??
Black Diamond Storm 400 is my primary headlamp and on low setting, can run for over 100 hours. Works great. My backup headlamp is the Petzl Bindi; small, pretty bright and charges via USB cable. Bring 4 extra AAA's for the Storm, and you are good to go for multi-day hunt/all night packouts...- Wrong Burgundy

What is the longest you've aged a big game animal?
Bringing this thread back to life just because I would like some input on if there is any benefit or a preferred method to aging backstrap. I shot a mule deer buck on Friday, quartered it up (bone in) and packed him off the mountain. All four quarters were in game bags and are hanging on the...- Wrong Burgundy

'20- What Worked, What Didn't?
What worked: Superfeet TRAILBLAZER Comfort insoles. Felt more secure and comfortable than the "Green" model I have used for the last several years. No blisters, no sore feet, etc. during a long, steep packout. Will swap them out into my ice climbing boots in place of the Green Superfeet. As of...- Wrong Burgundy

Coming to Eastern Montana to hunt deer? Bring snowshoes!
Well, it was a tough go, and we lost a good man to the arctic weather gods. But everyone shot pheasants, Huns, one grain bin pigeon and filled 48 doe tags. We brought backcountry skis, shovels, fur coats, an ice auger and my son's favorite sled. It was brutal, but we pulled through. At one...- Wrong Burgundy

Stone Glacier Skyscraper 2p
Another interesting option is the new SlingFin Portal: https://www.slingfin.com/collections/treeline-series/products/portal-2 A freestanding tent touted as 4 season at just over 3 lbs is worth taking a look at. I find that for most hunts I don't need a full coverage tent and can get away with...- Wrong Burgundy

My fellow Resident Sportsmen of Montana, please read LTE.
I do think that pointing out Daines' decisions and flip-flopping has worth with Independents and middle of the road Republicans in Montana. Basically, Daines/Gianforte are being pressed to choose between their values as so-called conservationists and their loyalties to the White House. And, we...- Wrong Burgundy

Gianforte (and Daines) are both extremely dangerous options for hunters and anglers in Montana.
