Where should I move to in MT?
I’ve tried to get myself to love Billings but something about it doesn’t seem right for us. Too large? Lack of character? I don’t hear a lot of people say how much they love Billings but maybe it’s a well kept secret? You bring up a good point with the surrounding communities as options to...- mr_steve

Where should I move to in MT?
Growing up in Northeast North Dakota (arguably one of the worst places during winter) and then spending time in Fairbanks AK, cold is all relative to me now. In a weird way I enjoy a cold, snowy winter.- mr_steve

Where should I move to in MT?
Gerald I appreciate your input and knowing you live there now is a check in the positive column. I’d love to live near you. Lewistown seems to be similar to Hamilton in that it may be too small but honestly it’d be perfect if we could find the right job. It meets all the requirements but I...- mr_steve

Where should I move to in MT?
It’ll be interesting to see if the Bozeman salaries compensate for the higher cost of housing and such. I also wonder if there is a higher demand for those positions that keeps the salary down. There’s been jobs posted for Glasgow which have higher salaries but again I understand them to be more...- mr_steve

Where should I move to in MT?
I expected this response and totally understand where you are coming from. I’ve explored the option of WY and would consider it more but the mountainous regions put me further from family besides Sheridan That being said I’ve been planning this for over a decade so there’s no changing my mind...- mr_steve

Where should I move to in MT?
Background: My wife, myself and our two year old live in Omaha, NE where she is in year two of a four year OBGYN residency program (completion June 2023). We both grew up in ND, spent a couple years in both WA and AK. I’ve always wanted to live in MT for hunting, we both love the mountains for...- mr_steve

Utah Elk Draw
My 3 observations about the points game (6 states for the last 5-7 years). 1. You are never guaranteed anything, it’s all a gamble. 2. Can’t win if you don’t play. 3. The more tags you apply for the better chances you have of drawing one.- mr_steve

Arizona hunting licenses question
Do you have interest in applying for deer and sheep in June? If so you’ll need to buy a license every year. If not then it’s possible to have a license cover two years. That’s my understanding. -

Tikka T3x Lite SS Shortened vs Tikka T3x Superlite
Well I bought the Tikka T3x Superlite in 7mm-08. Almost went .270 but deciding factor was recoil. I'm going to explore cutting it down and then threading it but I did just get a report that one gentleman has had issues since cutting down the same rifle so we will see. I enjoyed everyone's input... -

Sheep Hunting Optics
If you’re sheep hunting I’d say go 85. You can find yourself in a situation where you might spot sheep 5 miles out and you need to verify if there is a shooter or not so you don’t burn out your legs on non legal sheep. I also prefer to glass everything with binos and then verify what I see or...- mr_steve

Tikka T3x Lite SS Shortened vs Tikka T3x Superlite
Yeah I’ve heard an ounce per inch is average. After spending all day researching rifles and comparisons I’m leaning towards the 7mm-08 and cutting it down to 20” as well as threading it. Not necessarily for weight savings but I want a shorter length so it’s easy to pack through brush. The 7-08... -
Tikka T3x Lite SS Shortened vs Tikka T3x Superlite
If you’ve ever tried hiking through a mile of alders with a rifle on your pack you’d understand a shorter barrel. I’ve heard lots of good reports from a shorter barrel. You lose some velocity at further distances but beyond yardages I would shoot at. I may be missing something so please feel...
