Possible Change to Montana Unlimited Sheep
Sure- but these same guys are hunting their butts off and not just killing the first ram they come across. Like I said, they're probably more selective than everyone else. I think the success rate for those hunters that really get after it would surprise a lot of folks. First big snow storm... -
Possible Change to Montana Unlimited Sheep
You're correct- You can also buy OTC and then apply for points only- which the Department included in their response. -
Possible Change to Montana Unlimited Sheep
In essence- one could hunt every other year in the ULs, and if you have an Unlimited tag, you couldn't have bonus points. I commented that I would happily give up my bonus points I've earned over the last 6 years if I trusted the commission well enough that I didn't feel like the ULs could be... -
Possible Change to Montana Unlimited Sheep
To your first point- I can name 3 that I know that have been successful twice, and there are several more out there that I just don't know well enough to say "I know them". This number is only going to grow in subsequent years as more friends come off their wait. To your second point- I think... -
Possible Change to Montana Unlimited Sheep
Just think of how loose everyone's lips would get once they punched their tag if it went OIL. Like @MTGomer said, these are rams, not whitetail does. This isn't a conventional draw tag, but going OIL with it would essentially cause a lot of hunters to treat it as such, and be much more open with... -
Swarovski NL pure
Since Cabelas went to shit as far as products offered and customer service, I cashed out all my points for mine. Still had to spend about $800 out of pocket. The poor high school girl working the cashier about had her eyes pop out of her head when she rang them up. I would have had the same... -
Swarovski NL pure
Second the 12's. They have a wider FOV than the EL 10x- NL 12's = 339 @ 1000 yards / 7.6 degrees, EL 10's = 336 @ 1000 yards / 6.4 degrees. That said, it depends what your glassing and hunting style is. I can happily hand hold my 12's, but they really shine off the tripod. The 12's fill the... -
Against all odds: my 2023 season
What a season! You did each tag justice, which is no easy feat when you've got three premium tags! That buck is beautiful and so well earned. Way to stick it out to the end and not take the easy way out- that takes some serious cajones!- YoungGun

Help me burn my deer points
I'll caveat that with wanting to wait 4-5 years for Wyoming high country to start to recover from last winter. The Colorado deer that summer in the high country weren't as impacted on their winter range as the Western Wyoming deer. -
Help me burn my deer points
Are you a non-resident @jwatts? I'd look for a rut hunt in a unit that borders one of the better units (all the same genetics, just more tags issued), an early rifle hunt in 82/86/861, a second season tag like 66 that benefits from early weather and limited elk tags, or spring for a great... -
Make Bison Hunting Great Again
Thank you! I'm glad to have drawn the tag while physically able to get into the country and take full advantage of the opportunity- I hope you are able to pull a bison tag sooner than later for the same satisfaction!- YoungGun

FWP Commission to change Gardiner Elk hunting
How convenient, too, that MOGA wanted FWP to use the bull to cow ratios of the Total Northern Range versus the Bull to Cow ratio observed in Montana. It's the same argument made for more bull permits in units that are "over objective", even though those bulls are untouchable and on private, just... -

Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?
Bull Bison, not including the tenderloins and rib meat, was 345lbs from the processor, nothing added. No idea on field weight with bone in, but the bones make an elk shank look like a rabbit leg. A family friend who got a bull bison on the Elk Refuge and did the "tag and drag" to get the whole...- YoungGun

Need tripod to hold rifle for my son
Looks like you've got him set up! If your current tripod doesn't feel steady enough, or you need it back for your spotting scope, I'd give high praise to the Two Vets "The Ruck"- (https://twovetssportinggoods.com/the-ruck/), which is rated to 30lbs. I've put my 16lb Chassis rifle in it with...- YoungGun
