    Montana Mule Deer District 270

    Thanks for the feedback guys - both here and in PM's. It's like a mini sociology study seeing the feedback :) . It seems like most are interested in seeing pics and hearing about the hunt without the details of where I'm hunting. I will try to post as I have time.

    Montana Mule Deer District 270

    What are peoples thoughts about me sharing my experience hunting District 270 this fall? Would that be of interest to people? I've never provided a blow by blow account of a hunt on these forums so really don't know the standard protocol. Are place names (drainages/mountains) taboo in a...

    Game attraction to camera

    Great pictures guys - sweet mountain lion pic! Looks about like the bear video I got. I like the idea of mounting higher and angling down - maybe give that a try if my new setup isn't working. I am fortunate the camera survived its first encounter with a bear - hoping there isn't a second.

    Game attraction to camera

    Recently set out my first remote camera and set it to collect video rather than photos. The camera saw no action for the first week but on day 7, a black bear found the camera and spent about 30 seconds sniffing/licking/pawing the camera before growing bored and wandering off. After a week...

    Montana elevation for early September

    While I agree with others about elk living at all elevations in September, what you will want to look at is access at various elevations to help you decide where to hunt. In many (not all) areas, the lowest elevation habitats in the valley bottoms are privately owned ranches where you may or...

    Cws

    My brother coached that Langworthy kid from Florida who hit that walk off home run the other night for 5 years in middle school and high school down in Williston, Florida so I would love to see him do well. Like you though, I just like to watch some good ball.

    Montana elk b license

    I have several friends who hunt down that way for cows on public land and they have been successful in the past harvesting critters. I think you will run into a lot of competition but it can be done. Not unlike many districts in the state. Good luck!

    elk shed question

    It's kind of like any scab or scrape. It will typically bleed for a day or two and then heal over. Bulls will start growing new antler very quickly after shedding - slow at first and then it cranks up once green-up starts. If you are finding blood in bull beds then they likely shed their...

    Sweet Grass Hills, MT

    Access is difficult as much of the Sweet Grass Hills is private land. Elk can be difficult to find and when you do find them....see my first comment. I love the hills and have had some of my most memorable deer and antelope hunts there but have never chased elk around and don't often see elk...

    Another Griz Attack over the weekend

    I was hunting north of where this hunter was mauled over the weekend and had at least one grizzly in the immediate vicinity of where we were. His tracks were everywhere and crossed ours a couple times. It is spooky because as a hunter you are trying to be quiet and stealth in the woods but at...

    Montana WMA opener

    Such a crap shoot on the WMA's anymore. If guys get on there early then you won't be finding much. I've heard that Wall Creek gets hammered by the adjacent landowners well before it opens to the public. The Clearwater is the same way - used to be so much fun there and now I don't bother with...

    Wish I Was...

    Kind of glad I'm behind the desk this morning (watching it pour rain out there) but did just that Monday evening and will back out to Canyon Ferry this weekend once the weather moves on. Springtime in Montana is only bested by fall in Montana.

    Happy buck

    Wondering how that mess didn't get wrapped around his other antler or his neck for that matter?? Cool find!

    Savage Model 11 Trophy Hunter XP

    For the second time in 2 chances, I won a rifle at our local Wild Sheep Foundation banquet. Couldn't have been more thrilled and appreciative to the great folks that run the Montana Chapter and put on a great banquet!! I am not at all familiar with the model and caliber of gun so I was hoping...
