    First elk...

    All these posts are making me think, I really don't know what I am doing. Took about 5 years before I killed my first elk with a rifle, missed shots on two before i got one. Took 12 years with a bow. I was selective with a bow, and passed up on cows, but it still took an honest 12 years to kill...

    Favorite Gear/Accessories?

    ultralight hammock...A few years back I picked up an Eno's Sub7 hammock that was on closeout. It really has been a game-changer for me. The setup is so light, it is always in my pack and I am a much happier hunter after a good nap in the woods. September days chasing elk can be extremely long...

    Birthday Bull - My first archery bull (Pics and Video)

    I am not the greatest writer, so I will do my best to try and do this story justice! I have been hunting in Montana all of my life, always dreaming of one day getting a big bull. I committed to the idea of learning the art of archery hunting about 12 years ago and have been seriously hunting...

    Fitting Chains on Front

    I have run chains on the front of f150's many times... pretty simple process, check your tires for clearance. You probably need 1"-2" of clearance depending on how large the chains are you are using.

    Upgrade from a Tikka T3x 270

    I have hunted with several Tikka's for many years (.270 is my go to). Then I got a Christensen Ridgeline as a gift from my dad. the CA is a great gun, but I still prefer my tikka over it. To me, the tikka is a hunting rifle, and the CA is a range gun. The tolerances on the CA are so tight and...

    Danner Pronghorn thoughts

    Crazy to see all the negative reviews... I love Danner's and have had zero issues. Too me, they are extremely comfortable and versatile. I have literally taken a brand new pair (i.e. no break in period), on a 10 day pack trip (Wyoming mountain elk hunt) and had zero issues. I honestly love...

    Career Advice

    I have had several jobs and now I am an owner in a company... my two cents.... Jobs are jobs, the people and the company typically will make or break the career for someone. Talk to people who love their job, ask them why they love it, If it aligns with your likes then see if they are hiring.

    Chico Hot Springs (Gardner, MT) - UTV trails or fishing ideas?

    Headed to Chico Hot Springs in early June with a bunch of family (young and old). They are all looking for fun places to take UTV's and hopefully fly fish. I have spent my entire life in Montana, and never really spent any time in Paradise Valley. Any thoughts on trails that might lead us to...

    What’s better than a Christensen?

    I am probably an odd duck... but I have a Christensen and several Tikka t3's. The Christensen shoots awesome, but for hunting I hate the bolt throw (compared to the tikka) and the tight tolerances make me nervous in dirty hunting conditions... always worried about the bolt getting stuck (maybe...

    MT - Limited entry- party app??

    No - your group tag will be the exact same for everyone in the party. I.e. you will all either draw a LE tag, a general tag, or nothing.

    MT Elk Shoulder season legislation

    I don't have anything to add, other than saying thanks to the people who stand up and fight for the future of hunting. From those of us who are far removed from the inner workins of all of us, Thank you for your efforts.

    light tripod for spotting scope, binos, shooting

    Here is your answer... I looked for a long time to find anything that came close to this. I was wanting a tripod that I could use in a standing position. This was my answer. Then there are million options for pan heads. I believe I paid around $200 for mine new. Slik Pro CF 634 Tripod

    do it yourself custom rifle

    I own several guns, from cheap to expensive... after every trip to the range, I come home thinking the same thing. Why would I ever shoot anything besides my tikka t3. Honestly, for a hunting rifle it just works. It shoots extremely well, its light, the trigger is adjustable and very crisp...
