Make Bison Hunting Great Again
With hushed tones, we approached the corner, scheming our game plan. Our morning nature hike had turned into a stalk, and our pace reflected as much. When the bulls had rounded the corner out of sight, they had been swinging their heads toward each other and seemingly slowing their pace. I...- YoungGun

Make Bison Hunting Great Again
About a mile in to our stroll through the canyon- there they were. One giant shaggy bull staring from behind a cedar, maybe 20 yards to the left. Behind him, 3 more, all tucked into cedar and up against the sandstone along the east side of the canyon in the still freezing shade. They didn't...- YoungGun

Make Bison Hunting Great Again
In an effort to give the area a little more context, I'm sharing some of the information I had come across in my summer of online sleuthing to help form my hunting plans. The below snippet outlines the release of Bison onto Ute Tribal land in 1986, and how a few of these bison naturally made...- YoungGun

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
Such a great story of your experience with your daughter- thank you for such a great write up and sharing it! -
Make Bison Hunting Great Again
Saturday broke cool and clear. A quick coffee and oatmeal, and I was ready to head off. The plan was for Isaac and I to drop into the north end of the roadless and cover some ground for the first half of the day to see if we could find any recent sign. My dad wasn't feeling well, and the culprit...- YoungGun

Make Bison Hunting Great Again
Arriving to where we planned to camp around 3:30, we decided to use the evening for glassing only and then reconvene at dark. With plans made, Isaac took off to go glass some country on the east side of the roadless, and my dad and I went to check the first of the glassing points I had marked...- YoungGun

Make Bison Hunting Great Again
We stopped and topped off both trucks for fuel in Green River, with Isaac filling up a couple extra gas cans to last the week. While fueling up, I noticed one of my bolts for the push bumper was missing- knowing we were about to be on washboard roads for the next week, I opted to head to the...- YoungGun

Make Bison Hunting Great Again
Bison skulls at the best dinner deal in the country to fuel up last night. Luckily, I think we hit our only snow for the week right off the bat. It’s 59 and sunny as I type this up- perfect hunting weather! Wanting a good night of sleep, and without any good camping spots along I-15 (I...- YoungGun

Make Bison Hunting Great Again
5pm- basically skipped out the doors at work. The truck is packed up, but I always get the feeling I’m forgetting something, even though the load out is the same as every other backpack hunt I’ve done, besides having 5 times more game bags. The plan is to get about 6 hours down the road, get...- YoungGun

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
426 should be the minimum standard across the general units- general season long for whitetails, and for Muleys until November 17, then severely limited after that until the end of the season. Bump that up one week to November 10, and we'd really be talking. If 426 has positive remarks in future... -
Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
Proposed regulations for coming seasons here- a couple good things to see that we as hunters should be commenting on to encourage (410 + 417 going LE, and 426 having a shorter general season with permit only for the later rut dates) and a fair share of bad we should also be addressing (more B... -
Make Bison Hunting Great Again
That Audiobook has been played more than once this summer in my travels! I've been sure to recommend it a few times as well. How intertwined our human history is with Bison is so fascinating. I was fortunate to catch most of the Ken Burns film as well!- YoungGun

Make Bison Hunting Great Again
Okay, so the thread title is a bit tongue in cheek, but Bison hunts don't get the love I feel like they deserve, and maybe rightfully so. Perhaps we envision them as livestock rather than the incredible Pleistocene Bovine holdovers they are. Maybe our perception of this will change in coming...- YoungGun

Grouse! Let’s See Them
Winnie did her part on what would have been a third to limit out today, but that Grouse had a say in the matter and stayed low through the trees to prevent a shot. Cool air, whispy snow, happy pup. Rounding out the evening with grouse curry was the perfect way to warm back up!- YoungGun

Pulled the trigger on a Argali Absaroka 4p
Just pulled the trigger on the Absaroka as well, with the half liner and stove. Would you still rate the tent as high after a year+ of ownership? I've only heard good things, and the tent is already on the credit card bill, but all experiences are helpful in easing the mind that my research paid...- YoungGun

Bergara Wilderness HMR issue
I had recommended a Tikka prior to him buying this, but here we are. I figured as much for him sending it in. To me, it's a lemon. Glad to see that the link @Wind Gypsy shared shows my coworker isn't alone on this. In regards to the Viper- I've had the HSLR on my Tikka since 2015 with no issues-... -
Bergara Wilderness HMR issue
A Co-worker of mine recently bought a Bergara Wilderness HMR in .300 Win Mag. I leveled and mounted the scope (Vortex Viper HST/Warne Rings), tightening everything to spec with a torque wrench. He followed Bergara's prescribed barrel break in instructions to a T -say what you want about various... -
