The wall tent isn't a bad idea. It's nice to have a base camp to rest up in. But you want to also have a more mobile plan as well but you seem to have figured out. The ideal is to be a little above the Elk. Setting up a spike camp even a mile in can make a lot of difference as to what you...
Jimru,
You are one lucky person to have drew that tag. With just 21 people in a unit I doubt there could be a lot of pressure. You will be the envy of many here at this forum. I don't know whether you realize it or not but this is a tag of a lifetime. A 48% success rate is about as good as...
l'm 70 and feel I've officially reached old age but I haven't quite given up yet. I have a younger friend last year who wanted to do a Archery Montana Elk hunt this year. I wasn't sure about it but I told myself months ago If I can just pull 55# with a compound I might give it a go. Starting...
Randy,
I don't know if this would be any help to ya but I'm 70 and never drank coffee. My mother however who is still living is 86 and drank it most of her life. She has switched to half calf but she shakes so badly she can't even read her own writing. She had difficulty holding food on a...
Used PSE Evoke 35SE - I'm not tall but that's what I have and like it a lot. Pretty forgiving. Strickland's Archery Helix broadhead might be a good one for you. Single bevel, accurate and comes in 100 gn to 250 gn I believe...
Things said on this thread remind me a bit of Randy's video about a NM hunt where someone likely put a screw in his sidewall. It's near impossible to get one there by accident. That was one of the funniest stories I ever heard. What they did to Randy's tire however wasn't funny.
Actually I don't see it needing any interpretation. Says if it's a remote operated camera or video devices capable of transmitting real time information it's illegal.
A basic trail camera is Remotely operated in a way but it also says it has to be capable of Transmitting. Your basic trail...
I respect anyone's opinion especially when it comes to Ethics. I don't use them much. Personally I wouldn't use them to target a specific animal but I like knowing if any animals are in the area and what animals, Including bear.
That's what I thought but the water was a bit muddy on that issue. I went online to the Montana FG&P and could find most anything except what I was looking for.
True that, but I'm also curious as to what the response would be to the question. I would hope any regular Montana hunter would know and I may not be the only one curious to see the answer to that question.
I am hunting Elk in Montana for the first time this year. I've hunted other states just never Montana. A friend told me trail cameras were Illegal in Montana. I looked it up online and came across a old statement from 2013 that basically said they were illegal to use during hunting season...
I realize this is a old thread and will probably evoke some negativity from folks who feel trail cameras should not be used during hunting season. As many probably know we use them a lot in the south during hunting season and they are legal in most states during hunting season even the one's...
What was said is very true for the most part about GMU 43. The main trails and trail heads keep pretty busy with hikers but the more obscure trails see far less hikers. The hikers tend to stay the trails. So you get back off the main trails even a mile and you will see few hikers if any...
If you are considering Montana at all
If you are talking about Montana it's not that hard to get a general tag but seems to be growing harder than it used to be. I got a General Elk combo tag this year with one preference point. This was my first year attempting to buy a tag in Montana...
