    MT District 302 lost Archery Elk found - Medicine Lodge

    I killed a bull this past week with my rifle and it had an arrow along its spine. I am sure some archery hunter is wondering what ever happened to the bull. I am curious to try and connect to hear the other part of the story. I have attached photos, if you send me a PM with the correct type...

    Alaknak 12'x20' Tent and Stove Rental (Billings, MT)

    I have a nice Alaknak setup, and currently have zero plans to use it this year, so thought I would see if anyone has a need and would be interested in renting the tent setup from me. The tent can be picked up in Billings MT. What I have: 12'x20' Cabelas Alaknak Tent Tent floor liner Camp Chef...

    MT Application - Applied for the wrong choice... can I change it?

    I know... but it is so painful, I had to vent and see if anyone has any random ideas.

    MT Application - Applied for the wrong choice... can I change it?

    I just recently applied for my MT elk tag, and I accidentally applied for the wrong tag. I want the (-21) archery tag and I applied for the (-20). The rifle tag has significantly lower odds, hence the reason to want a change. I reached out to FWP and they are telling me that my mistake cannot...

    Swarovski Spotting Scope- HD vs Not

    Everyone's eye is different, so this is something that is easiest to appreciate if you have the two eyepieces side by side... but for sake of discussion. The 20-60 eyepiece has more of the "looking down a straw effect". The wide angle 25-50 eyepiece has a "flatter view". With a 20-60 eyepiece I...

    Swarovski Spotting Scope- HD vs Not

    The HD glass controls chromatic aberration, and that is the biggest difference between the two. Here is what I will say... I have owned many scopes and compared several Swaro HD's and non'hd. If you are just randomly looking at things, you will rarely notice a difference. However, look at any...

    Montana - Migratory Bird Restricted area

    Guys, Please note - I am a newbie to waterfowl hunting, I will have other mentors along, but I want to make sure I have a good grasp on the regs. I have the opportunity to hunt some private ground this year that lies along the Yellowstone river. In reading the regs, I see the language below...

    Backpack hammock

    eno sub 6 or eno sub 7 hammock. It is a game changer. So lightweight it never comes out of my pack, but allows me to get great sleep in the afternoon while I wait out the elk.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Markets go up, and no one has a clue where it is going. Markets go down, and suddenly everyone is an expert. Seems to hold true in every market I have ever seen... Just makes me laugh. My comment is not directed at anyone, just a funny observation I thought I would share.

    Help me pick out a truck and a fifth wheel

    Thanks for the responses... I never got any notices that there were responses. I ended up going a different route, and it is funny that most of your advice is spot on with what I ended up doing. After looking at many campers and trucks, I realized it would be stupid to blow that kind of money...

    Help me pick out a truck and a fifth wheel

    Figure all you hunters will have plenty of good advice. Looking for a truck and trailer combo that works well for family trips and hunting. We are a family of 5, so the floor plan will be a bunkhouse. I live in Billings, Montana. After owning bumper pulls and a class c… I feel like a fifth...

    Montana draw

    Never been grateful to have "not drawn". We fat-fingered our group tag this year and ended up applying for the wrong tag. We didn't draw, so back to the original game plan of "general units"...all is well. Good luck to all this year.

    Bulls for Billionaires - MT EQC Meeting today 1:30 PM

    A little off-topic, so forgive me, but money has always ruled our society (and hunting)... We keep talking about solutions, and one thing I have yet to see be brought up is an increase in the price of resident tag prices. Personally, I can't compete with the big money out of staters alone, but...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Any oil players catch the FTK swing today? Wilks brother's back throwing their money around. Stong oil prices, new investment from a big customer - I bought into the story... lets hope this one pans out for me.

    The Age Old Problem That Elk Are Smart - A Study

    Every year I hunt a large private ranch, that is surrounded by public land. We hunt the private ground for several days straight. We kill multiple elk every year (cows and bulls).... The point is... we shoot elk, we move, we shoot more elk... The elk will not return to the timber. They have...

    Montana FWP makes seismic shift in elk permits

    It sounds like some victories were made today for the public hunting crowd… thanks to all who showed up. As for the “hunt your permit” discussion, I am pleased that passed, but I have to admit I wish it went further. I wish if you drew either an archery or rifle permit that was the only season...
