NW Montana has the wolves. It’d be a challenge to get them calling them in up there but people do. Some guys really do damage with the trap lines if conditions align right. The people I know who do well also know the country like the back of their hands.
There’s an outfit out of Plains that...
Get on the phone ASAP with your transporter to lock in dates, as you can imagine their phones start ringing off the hook and there’s only so many good transporters available.
Also, talk to your pilot, but I think the normal plan of action is come up with 1 or 2 locations that you’re interested...
Well things just took another turn for the exciting!
My brother and I drew limited entry goat tags for DG474 - Uganik. Back to the drawing board on the planning side! Not sure how Alaskas draw works but they list the odds of drawing around 8% I believe. First "hard" to draw tag I've ever drawn.
Don’t have the hunt regulations/supplemental in front of me. But are there not any registration hunts for black bears in Southeast?
There must registration black bear hunts in other parts of the state if you’re trying to hunt bear in AK.
If I were in charge shed hunting would be closed everywhere until April 15. Easy to close area WMAs, game ranges, critical range, etc entirely to access.
Yes a total closure would be difficult to enforce for the real dirtbags, but so is poaching. Eventually you’d get them.
Glad to hear...
I think closing it to just shed hunting is reactionary to the focused intent and magnitude of the amount of people who flood the winter ranges purely for shed hunting. Should they close it to everyone, probably. But I’m guessing in most areas shed hunters are the biggest problem hence the...
Interesting.
That being said I wonder if I could go 30-40-50 and shoot 0 to 30 on my top pin. Might have to play with that. I've been shooting at 60 lbs and recall from shooting this summer and fall that there was a somewhat noticeable difference shooting my 20 yd pin at 30 yds, but I might...
Haha, I’m not discourage at all. For guys who shoot archery a ton it sounds like the way to go.
To be honest I purposely haven’t gone deep into the archery gear side of things, my attitude has been to keep it as simple as possible. It’s worked out so far, been fun, and has been affordable as well.
Probably just gonna stick with what I have. Lol.
Sounds pretty versatile being able to move pins, probably not for me considering my relatively limited range since I don’t shoot long range for fun. Probably just going to get a standard 4 banger and be on my way.
Totally just my opinion, I have the FHF with the range finder attachment. It works, but I hate the latch attachment for the rangefinder pouch, just does not feel secure to me. Also the buckles to strap the whole harness want to slide off the strap, in fact one of them came off completely last...
I’ll check those out. I know almost nothing about the equipment side of archery at this point, generally is there any reason I couldn’t add or should avoid adding a pin to my current sight?
Agreed, I don’t have any plans to. Just Had multiple situations where I came very close to letting an an arrow fly at elk between 40-50, want to be as prepared as possible next time.
Anybody have suggestions for what sight I should put on my bow?
I picked up archery hunting last year and had a tru-glow three pin sight set at 20-30-40. Hunted a ton for deer and elk, came close to some elk and Ended up shooting a mule deer buck holding on the back at about 50 yds. After...
Been a cold one so far. MT had the same -40 to -50 about a month ago and then this week a few days -25 this last week. I think elk will be fine for the most part, I’m always wondering what’s happening with the Mule Deer and Antelope, though.
I’m really kind of worried for the upland birds...
