    Don’t forget at this time a quarantine is still in effect in MT for those coming into MT. No recreation nor leaving your dwelling for 14 days.

    2020 Spring Bears Thread

    My understanding is that, at this time, anyone that crosses the state line into MT must quarantine. The only acceptable time to break quarantine is to seek medical care. Recommendations specifically state no recreation for those in quarantine for 14 days from entry into MT.

    How to Improve Montana's Block Management

    I echo what others have stated regarding restricted access ranches. Where I typically hunt there are multiple BMA’s. Most are great about access. However, there were a couple that no one could ever get on. They were letting friends/family on but no one else. Rather frustrating they we’re getting...

    Chocolate

    mtmuley, not something you can get in the bitterroot but not far away. Stop by the sweet palace in pburg. They make a milk, white & dark chocolate variety with marshmallows & a variety of nuts(can get without nuts). Been a few years but I assume they still make it. They sell it by the pound...

    Without getting into pro/con of a youth hunt, I’m with d4570, when I take my kid out I don’t take a gun. It’s a hunt for the kids, I hope like hell its doa to have the adults hunting it too.

    Splitting elk meat

    I live in MT. Only had help on one of my elk packing it out. I’ve helped pack quite a few out. I only hunt with a couple different people. Whoever shot it gets it. We’ve never split one up, don’t recall ever having a conversation even. That’s just how we’ve done it. I’ve gotten calls from folks...

    Convincing the wife to move..

    I love MT and don’t ever see myself moving away. Perhaps a few weeks midwinter after retirement down south. But, I’m sitting in my living room right now watching it snow. Sigh

    Convincing the wife to move..

    I’ve lived in MT almost all my life. The -35 temps aren’t bothersome, you know you’re staying inside those days. March/April/May can be a never ending grind when it just won’t warm up.

    Montana Deadhead Recovery

    I grew up by miles city, hunted towards baker often. I saw bighorn sheep 3 times. I have not been back much since early 2000’s but I saw a couple mature rams last time I hunted there in about 2001. They’re still around in low numbers. I started hunting in 1988 & there has not been a season for...

    Bozeman in June

    Lots to do, 3 days is a short trip. Only advice I can give is this: Please be extremely careful if you must fish flowing water!! That is our high water here. Wade fishing that time of year can be dangerous. If you or your son go down the streams are flowing faster than you realize. That said...

    Spotting scope upgrade.

    I bought a kowa tsn 664 last year, it has a 20-60 zoom. It’s all the scope I’ll ever need. I believe I paid $1150 for the scope & eye piece which is a pretty good deal for that scope. Finding a used kowa is tough as it’s not a super common brand. The friends that have looked through it have all...

    Bipod for Sheep

    This past fall I carried a small bungee strap that’s just a small loop with a plastic knob on it. When time came for a shot I just made an x with my hiking sticks & wrapped the bungee around it. Worked just fine. I would not have wanted to carry a bipod

    Which spotter is "good enough" ?

    I was in the same boat this past summer. I drew a sheep tag this past fall, I had an inadequate & old spotter. I ended up getting a kowa tsn 664 sight unseen. I had tried a vortex & just wasn’t it for my eyes. The kowa was/is certainly an improvement. It didn’t take any more room up in my pack...

    We used the deuter for several years and really liked it. We got a great deal on it at the time.

    Yellowstone- "Somewhat" Avoiding The Crowds?

    September is our preferred time to visit Yellowstone, early to mid to be more specific. Elk are rutting & all wildlife becomes much more visible. Crowds are basically nonexistent after Labor Day.

    Calling 911---tell us your stories

    Years ago I was floating the Yellowstone with my wife. A severe storm came on abruptly, lightning, hail & pounding rain. We pulled off, flipped the raft over & hid out under it. While watching the lightning strike the hill near us multiple times we saw a fire start. The storm passed & fire took...

    Soooooo close!!

    For lack of a better phrase he was just in awe. I can’t wait to take him in a couple weeks for a day when the bulls are going crazy! I’ll gladly give up a day or 2 of sheep hunting for that with him.

    Soooooo close!!

    My oldest turned 12 this spring so this is his first year elk hunting MT. He will get few hunts with his busy schedule. I took him out this evening. Lots of sign, zero talk from the elk. We walked in 1.5 miles & sat for awhile. About 6:30 I told him get ready I was going to call. I told him...
