Good plan on hunting this tag during archery season.
That's about the best advice I can give you. You have already answered a lot of your own questions.
Good luck and I am jealous as hell.
I have two of the Mountain Ascents, one, in .308 with the Optifade pattern that exhibited the same wear as your pics show.
I also have a .280 AI in Mountain Ascent with a painted stock. Both rifles shoot decent but not what I'd call great and certainly not what I was expecting for the money...
It was great!
It took us nine days of backpacking in some tough country and it was hotter than hell but we got it done on day 9.
Thanks for asking, it was quite the adventure. Some seriously cool country down there on the Baja, had a great time. :)
I've never owned a Kifaru but I have four Stone Glacier packs and love them.
I just got back from a Desert Sheep hunt with one Alaskan guide and three BC guides in camp.
Between myself and the guys mentioned above and the Mexican guide we had 6 Stone Glacier packs in camp.
Those boys know...
Yep, I'm there.
Life has thrown a couple curve balls at my family the past few years (sister passed away, 20 YO daughter been through a recent health scare) that made me realize there are no guarantees in life.
I'm doing what I can while I can as long as it doesn't negatively impact my...
I hunted with Dustin Roe in the Cassiar area last August. Sorry for the late reply I just saw it.
Sounds like your Dad got his Desert? Congrats to him, let's see a pic.
I'm headed to the Baja on March 12th after mine with Dustin again.
Hope my luck is as good as yours! Way to go!
Helena is a great, centrally located place to live in Montana.
I love it here and can't imagine living anywhere else and if I did it would be Dillon or somewhere in Central Montana SE of Belt.
My wife is a realtor and I think she's pretty great so if you want a recommendation, I recommend her...
Mind if I ask who you are hunting with in MX?
I'm halfway there, Dall and Stone done, working on a plan for Dersert and praying I draw a Montana sheep tag one day.
Great sheep mounts, that's super sweet.
Yep, I shoot them in several different calibers on everything from antelope to elk and have been very happy with their performance.
In my opinion, they are a tough, high quality bullet and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Lots of public ground around Helena.
Excellent fishing as well with three lakes within 20 miles and the Missouri River above and below the three reservoirs providing excellent access and good river fishing.
Probably not a ton of things for the wife to do in town as far as shopping or things...
Some great pictures and many thanks for volunteering on the clean up on the new piece of public.
Please post the details on the upcoming summer cleanup on HT. Appreciate all you guys in the pic taking the time to do that.
I hunted with those guys out of the Los Chanares Lodge. Never thought I'd get tired of shooting birds but I was close after 3 days!!
Crazy amount of birds and incredible food and wine.
Looks like you had a great trip!
