    Bear Spray or Pistol? Both?

    For me, bear spray on my chest attached to the bino harness, Glock 29 10mm on my hip (holster on hip pad of backpack). I guess I am comforted by having as many options as possible but I hope I never have to draw either one on a charging griz. For those of you with actual grizzly experience...

    How important is it to you to own a Handgun?/ Tangent CAR THREAD

    I enjoy owning and shooting all of my guns, whether they are shotguns, rifles, or handguns and whether they are lever actions, semi-autos, revolvers, pumps, bolts, etc. They are all fun to shoot, they are all fun to look at, and they were all fun to shop for. I suppose most of them are...

    HUNT TALK TRUCK/BAG DUMP - WHAT IS YOUR "MUST HAVE" ELK HUNTING EQUIPMENT??

    I don't know where you are going in Wyoming, but for mid-November, I would be prepared for snow. Lots of snow. And if you only see a few inches of snow at the trailhead at 6000' elevation, assume there will be a foot or two up at 8000' elevation. A game sled like a Jet Sled cane come in very...

    Help me plan a montana cow elk hunt.

    Since your trip is a 2022 trip, my advice is to pick a unit that looks promising and do a trial run by taking the exact same hunting trip this year, but take cameras instead of your rifles or bows. For DIY, there is no substitute for having already walked the country you plan to hunt during the...

    Are overran National Parks a glimpse of the future of all our public lands?

    No doubt, there are some crowded areas near major metros that will require the rest of us to work a little harder. In the case of The Enchantments, haven't they been running a lottery for those backcountry permits for decades? On the subject of reservations, especially free or nearly free...

    Are overran National Parks a glimpse of the future of all our public lands?

    Given that 98% of the tourists to the big western national parks never go more than an 1/8th of a mile off a boardwalk or paved path, I don't think it will come to that on other western public lands. I'm making up those numbers, so I don't know if it's actually 98% or not, but it's the vast...

    Deer question montana

    I don't know. Maybe not? My sincere question: does my shooting a doe in November threaten the muley population? I'm less concerned about when as much as I am about overall opportunity. For example, if I'm trading a couple of weeks in November for a couple of weeks in early October, I'd take...

    Deer question montana

    Forgive me for my ignorance (I'm still new), but is the problem that there aren't enough mule deer on public land in Montana or just that there aren't enough trophy mule deer bucks? I see mule deer virtually every time I go out hunting the public lands around here, although not many bucks...

    Where should I move to in MT?

    Says something about the alternative, huh?

    Where should I move to in MT?

    In my previous life, I practiced real estate law for about 10 years, so I tend to keep an eye on the residential real estate market. Personally, I'd be reluctant to make a cross-country move right now, especially to a "hot" area like Montana. What we're seeing now in residential real estate...

    If cartridges were people..

    I'm a big fan of the 30-06 too. The '06 is that faithful gun that you had for years, but you traded some decades back in favor of the next latest and greatest cartridge. But lately, you've found yourself really missing that old gun.

    MT elk hunting

    As somebody who moved out to Montana from SC a few years ago and solo hunt out here, I think I have a sense of the learning curve you will face coming out here (although I had been to the Rockies and Montana many, many times before I hunted out here). A lot of great advice has been mentioned in...

    30 Day Background Check

    When it comes to expansion/modification of the NICS checks, it feels like we're wasting a lot of energy and heartburn arguing and debating a point that is relevant to a very small percentage of the gun crimes (those committed by individuals who were allowed to buy a gun but-for a more robust...

    Gun Regulation Survey

    This thread has degenerated, but I'll give it a go: 0. YES*, the government may limit my access to military weapons such as handgrenades, rocket launchers, tanks, Apache helicopters, etc. *the caveat being who gets to define the breadth of "military weapons." The lever action rifle was a...

    It warms my heart to see so many folks pissed

    I agree. Yet, here we are, talking about him. Ironic, isn't it.

    House Passes Gun Legislation

    I suspect 99% of us agree with the statement above. Unfortunately, I have no faith that those putting forth this legislation share that entire sentiment.

    House Passes Gun Legislation

    The bottom line should be: will this have a significant effect on violent gun crimes? Are there any stats out there showing what percentage of violent gun crimes are committed with guns that were legally purchased under the "loopholes" being closed by this bill? I assume they exist, but have...
