Fair to say I (and my family) have been unbelievably lucky with draws in MT.
Able to finish the Big 3 this year, at 31yo..not too bad.
I want to know if anyone has done
2x big 3s? I want to make another round, but I think luck is starting to run out now. Next stop, Bison
I don’t have a level on my rifle, but my bow site I’ve noticed it a ton at the Total Archery Challenge. It’s amazing how far off you can be when you think you’re level
Here’s mine from MT last year. Net score 140-145” (just barely enough to make the Montana awards book, whatever that number is I can’t remember. not lifetime B&C). Around here, moose/sheep/goat, I use the MT awards as a guide to judge what I shouldn’t pass up..and if it hits B&C, extra special...
I did. 141 5/8”. Made the Montana awards. Looks fantastic, tasted great, exactly what I was looking for.
it’s from Rocky Mountain hunting calls. Called mammoth moose I think. Don’t think they make them anymore..
It’s no different that a roll of birch bark like some people say, but I wanted it...
I have the Rocky Mountain hunting calls cow moose call (forget what it’s called). Grabbed it last year for my Montana hunt, obviously won’t be needing it at least for quite some time. Would be willing to get rid of it.
my advice, hunt the rut the hardest. Mid-late September, to mid October...
Not sure if it’s been mentioned (too much to read through)..
I currently run a MR Pintler, on a Kifaru Duplex Lite frame.
Straps up like it was made for it.
HOWEVER..recently realized there has been revisions to the pintler bag (assuming for 2021 or whenever the most recent frame came out from...
I just picked up a Mountain Hardwear Strato UL2. While I have no real user experience yet, just set up in the yard a few times, it looks very promising. Spec for spec, fantastic compared to many others on the market at similar price. With footprint (sold separately) would be a hair over 3lbs.
I...
I don’t think I ever really did get a “story” on here. I’ll try to see if I can get something put together....eventually. Life’s busy so it may be a couple more years 🤣
I did see a used S2 somewhere the other day, but I think I’d lean towards a little more magnification. Really wish it went more around 35-40x.
We’ll see. May have convinced my wife that the budget needs to increase a bit 🤣 time will tell.
I look for used ones daily...not a ton of luck yet. There is a Leupold gold ring (I believe) for $310 where I’m at, but looks like it’s fixed 25x, 50mm 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks.
I’ve been looking at tripods as well, and it looks like that can add up quick too if you need to buy a head separately or something. I do have an older Nikon tripod that I think would work if need be. Probably not the most robust and stable legs out there, but may be able to make it work
