    New from South Carolina

    Welcome from your neighbor in NC. Be careful. I joined 10 years ago with an interest in hunting anywhere on the left side of the big river, thinking that it would never happen. This Sept will be my 5th elk hunt in MT as a result. All strictly from reading and encouragement from this site...

    Bozeman in June

    Nice trout! My wife and I were there last week, which was my wife's first time in MT/WY or Yellowstone, and we had a great time! I'm glad to see that you guys had a great time too!

    What Keeps You Going?

    I'm always anticipating Sept in Montana, and the rememberence of past hunts just adds fuel to that fire. Also always planning and training for future marathons. Love running and hunting elk!

    Dillon, mt.

    Agree! Now, I always eat at Calf-A after my elk hunt, so it may be due to eating Mountain House for two weeks, but all I know is that at that moment, they have the world's best cheeseburger! 🙄 Don't let the facade throw you off!

    Bozeman Airport Hotels?

    I'll be flying into Bozeman Airport Monday a week. I'll need to get a hotel around Bozeman (Belgrade) just for one night due to a late flight before driving to Gardiner. I usually steer clear of airport area hotels because they tend to be around some rough areas. Is that the case there too...

    Workouts! What are we doing to prepare?

    This helps me on my annual trip to MT, but it isn't specifically for that trip, but to just stay in shape, 51 years old. Run 9 miles before work 5 days a week, with a long run (13-17 miles) on Sunday morning. Run two marathons a year. After work: 3 sets of 10 chin-ups 3 sets of 60 push-ups 3...

    Deadheads - Let's see 'em

    With the new MT law, allowing those to be kept, I wonder if they'll let you swing by and pick it up for the Randy Room? You were the one who found and transported it over.

    Montana Deadhead Recovery

    http://fwp.mt.gov/news/newsReleases/hunting/nr_2900.html I didn't see anything posted on this, so I hope it's not a repeat. I understand the mindset of the MT law against removing bighorn deadheads, but I am glad to see that it is now legal to pick them up under certain instances. I've never...

    After reading all of this, I believe I'll simply lop off nuts and tote them with me.

    Eastern North Carolina public bear

    I have a few times. Public land will be tough, which is an understatement. Like said above, it is thick and nasty.

    Any have to turn a tag back in?

    I turned my MT general elk in a few years ago after having a carotid artery dissection, which could have ended in a stroke, or worse. I sent MT DNR a letter from my physician with a copy of my CT scan and I ended up getting, I think, 80% back.

    Were the wolves informed that they're there to only take care of the moose problem?

    Planning first elk hunt - advice welcome

    Most guys running around the mountains blasting away on a bugle tube, you'll know because it's obvious. But sometimes you'll be fooled. And likewise, you'll swear another nut was blowing a tube and sounds horrible, then realize it's a bull. Same as turkeys. As for you worrying about your...

    Planning first elk hunt - advice welcome

    I'd chance NOT killing a bull during archery season in Sept, just to listening to endless bugling, than wait until I can take a rifle later. But, that's just me.

    Camofire - Buyer Beware

    I've never had any issues with Campfire. I have had issues with FedEx. My neighbors seem to get MY packages as often as I do. Luckily they have contacted me, or brought them by my house, and I didn't even know them. Anyway, I now have everything shipped to my work, which I have everything...

    other hobbies

    Now that my wife and I now are enjoying an empty nest, we've started traveling alot over the last few years. With us both getting 5+ weeks a year for vacation, we can go to a few places during non hunting months. Running is another hobby of mine. I log a decent amount of miles every week...

    Montana hunting, seeking nonresidents thoughts and opinions

    My thoughts and opinions are that I love elk hunting in MT! I've been going since '14, started out with killing a P&Y bull of the first full day and have been hooked every since! The cost of the NR tag is a little steep, but no one is making me pull out the credit card! The trailhead, where...

    Ship problem grizzlies from Wyoming to California

    California? Wouldn't that be a little inconsiderate to do that to the bear? He'd probably prefer to be euthanized!
