    What tent to buy

    Think i am going to be renting llamas. We did a cabin 15 minutes from one location, but when we started splitting up it took about 1.5 hrs to drop everyone else and get to our access. Might have to rethink the our hunting ideas too.

    Day 3: Decided to try a new part of the unit at a slighter lower elevation 7,500ft or lower. This was the day I learned to get my climbing done while I was fresh, first thing in the morning, and then come down in the evening. Got to see lots of country but did not find anything other than...

    MT 2023 elk hunt.

    No, we continued to hunt the area and located elk in the area. The guy who hunted there for a number of years made the idiot comment. I laughed about the camp being there because we hiked 2.5 miles in to glass the meadow to only find the camp set up there. Just part of the public land experience…

    Day 2: Our group decided to split up, and try a couple of trail heads and see if there was more recent elk sign. The first two miles were easy since we were on a nice maintained trail. As the sun came up my partner and I came to a hillside i planned to glass. I got my tripod out, binos...

    Trying to connect with an individual guide Unit 270 MT

    Thanks, I never thought about bad assumptions. The reason why I asked is there were 2 or 3 other hunting groups at the trailheads who have watched this guy be successful year in and year out.

    MT 2023 elk hunt.

    So this evening the group went out to try and find some elk prior to the opener. We did see some sheep. I decide to try another forest trail road and found out it was too narrow and not maintained like the other forest roads. Had to hand trim 3 or 4 limbs and push a top off the edge to get the...

    Hunt elk hunting grind for newbie

    I expect us to see more animals than on the other hunts we hunted units where the public land is severally limited. We did have the conversation last week Monday, but being from the Midwest and going west to hunt is completely different. Had no clue of the grind unit we did it twice.
