    When would you go?

    I would arrive a few days before the season opens to get a feel for the area. Then whack one on the opener. Best of luck!

    Dillon, Montana Elk Units 328, 329, 302

    I hunted 329 for a week during archery and a week during rifle. Had elk encounters on both trips, but the area was absolutely overrun with hunters. I counted one group of archery hunters bugle 40+ times in under 2 hours as they worked up the mountain from below me in the middle of the day...

    “Travel” spinning rod for salmon

    My Dad and I are headed to Alaska this summer to fish for silvers. I’ve been looking for a 8-9 foot spinning rod rated for about 12 lb line that breaks down into 3 pieces. I have plenty of 2 piece rods, but they would be a little cumbersome on the plane. I haven’t had any luck thus far...

    First bulls

    That’s a hell of a first trip. Sounds like you really put the time into scouting and put on some miles. Congratulations!

    That’s one badass backcountry Corgi.

    Why did this euro turn yellow?

    This is the first one I’ve been unhappy with. I had some done through Steve’s in Arvada when I lived there. Also had one done last year by Skinner’s Skull Shop in WY. They came out awesome. The upsetting thing about this one is the taxidermist had glowing recommendations. I’ll see if he...

    Why did this euro turn yellow?

    Those are good options. I might also just skull cap it and have it mounted on a plaque with a nice leather covering over the skull plate.

    Why did this euro turn yellow?

    Thanks guys! I will try contacting the taxidermist to see what he recommends first. Based on what I’ve heard of others’ experiences with him, I have a feeling it might be an unsatisfactory outcome. I had a suspicion that he boiled it, but I hoped I was wrong since “beetle” is in the name of...

    Why did this euro turn yellow?

    It was initially whitened. When I picked it up, the whole thing was the same shade of white as the area under the glue.

    Why did this euro turn yellow?

    I had this euro done by a “professional” who uses a beetle cleaning method. When I got it back in spring 2019, the skull was very white, albeit stinky. Fast forward to now and it no longer smells, but it has yellowed significantly. It is still white under the areas that he glued (no clue why he...

    Bugle Report

    Hunted SW Montana from Saturday to Wednesday. Heard bugles the last 2 evenings in the same drainage just before dark. Also heard probably 40 bugles from other hunters.

    Hawaii or Mexico?

    Keep in mind that Hawaii has had the strictest Covid rules/quarantine of probably any state. We were supposed to go in June for our 10th anniversary, but that got canceled due to Covid. My wife and I contemplated trying to reschedule for 2021, but will likely wait until 2022. If there is an...

    Ticks in Idaho? Elk Archery Hunt

    Spray your clothing down with permethrin before you go and let it dry. It will be effective for at least a month and it has no scent when dry. Another plus is that it will repel mosquitoes if any are still out.

    Bear Spray- Accidental Discharge

    FHF Gear also makes a nice bear spray holster that can go on your pack or on your binocular harness. Like the Mystery Ranch holster, it has a retention strap for the safety clip.

    Accessing National forest beyond private

    Do you think there would be an issue with camping on the National Forest for several days and then driving back out through the Block Management? If I did that my Block Management slip would be for the day I went in and not the day I was traveling back out.

    Accessing National forest beyond private

    That was sort of what I was thinking. I‘ll probably need to either call or visit the local Forest Service office to be certain.

    Accessing National forest beyond private

    I tried to make my explanation as simple as possible, but obviously wasn’t successful in that. The issue is the road crosses private land first before it gets to any of the public parcels. In Montana there are private lands open to public hunting with permission under a program called Block...

    Accessing National forest beyond private

    I am trying to figure out how to legally access a section of National Forest in Beaverhead County, MT that lies beyond private land. The private is actually enrolled as type 1 Block Management, but I’m not interested in hunting that property, but rather traveling through it on the road that is...
