I had 8lb of H4350 in the cart early Monday on the Hodgdon site but $330 plus $48 ship/hazmat helped me decide I didn’t want it that bad.- PJ0311

Examples of nice elk mount with 8ft ceiling limitations
Eyjonas, I think we’re neighbors. Those stairs and basement look an awful lot like mine. Thats a nice, symmetrical bull. -
I am part of the problem....
Welcome to the club, it’s not as bleak as it may seem to you right now. I still look for them but don’t see the size I used to and I’m ok with that. Just when you think they aren’t out there anymore someone like breaks runner, etc posts a pic of a toad taken from public land. I still have fun... -
Nat Geo Greater Yellowstone Eco System Elk
My step dad shot a cow above Shafthouse one year. Every little pocket of cover on the top half of that mountain had a group of bulls in it, two real smokers. A herd of 20 or so cows walked by at about 100 yds while we dressed and tagged the cow. I was 14 at the time and remember wondering why... -
Pronghorn Meat Myths
This goes along with what 2ski was saying about chasing them down and shooting running antelope. Ive seen more horrible shots on antelope than deer or elk by far. I remember seeing lope at the check station missing a leg, gut shot with a hole I could put my fist in, carcasses that looked like... -
Montana 2017
For elk it depends if you are talking 704 or 705. They are both antlerless only on a general tag, I believe. I think a general tag is not valid on national forest lands while it is valid on national forest in 705. I'm not familiar with that part of the state but I don't think the elk herd is... -

Central Montaa Mule Deer Rut
It can be pretty bad up there. Saw an ok buck from the road one year and told my buddy that buck had 20 minutes at most to live. We hadn't even driven out of sight of the buck when someone stopped, got out of their truck, and shot him. -

Tape on the end of the barrel
We put plastic caps on the end of our barrels in Iraq. Didn't affect accuracy, just looked like Elmer Fudd after we shot with the end of the cap blown out and curled away from the barrel. -
Son's deployment (USMC)
Having been there, done that as an infantry squad leader (USMC as well) I can tell you that the prayers are the best thing you can do. This deployment will be harder for you than him. He doesn't have to remember his training - if the Corps has had him for two years it is muscle memory by now...- PJ0311

Reviews of Military 3 & 4 piece Sleep Systems ?
The USMC system was just a light bag stuffed inside a heavier bag stuffed inside a gortex liner. They work but you won't be happy sleeping in one in -30. The comments about them not breathing well and being bulky are spot on. Unless there is some new high speed low drag sleeping system out... -
Montana HD 455 - Beartooth WMA
I heard the same thing about cats from the manager of the WMA when I had the tag. He also confirmed what I was seeing, Muley numbers were way down compared to a decade ago. Whiteys are everywhere, though. The area behind the house holds a decent amount of whiteys but I found them just about... -
Montana Antelope area 701
I used to hunt there as well but 08 was the last year for me. For a couple of years I figured I'd end up hunting there again after the numbers rebounded but then I pretty much gave up on the idea of ever going back there. My step dad and brothers have gone out to our spot ( a little further NE... -
Hankooks or Coopers?
I appreciate everyone's input. The guy at the tire place is the one who got me thinking 6 ply saying 10 ply was a bit much for an avalanche but all the replies here have me leaning toward the 10 plys. It is looking like Discount Tire Direct will be quite a bit cheaper with free shipping on...- PJ0311

Hankooks or Coopers?
Thanks for the replies. Most of the year is pavement driving but the p rated goodyears have been getting shredded in the breaks every year. I'm tired of getting them fixed or replacing them every year. Maybe 10 ply is the way to go, just wasn't sure how bad the mpg hit would be, if it would...- PJ0311

Montana 410-20 Either Sex tag
I should add that those 3 bulls I've seen that may have pushed the 340ish mark took a lot of days and a lot of hiking to see. I didn't have a chance of connecting on any of them. -
Montana 410-20 Either Sex tag
I bow hunt there. It seems like it is hit or miss as far as seeing big bulls. Last year I saw 1 that might go over 340, year before none, year before 2. That being said there are a ton of elk in there and a lot of really "nice" Bulls. Soda Butte gets a lot of pressure during bow season (... -
Hankooks or Coopers?
Anyone have Hankook Dynapro ATm or Cooper Discoverer AT3 on their rig? The Hankooks are $230 cheaper a set for 6 ply at one tire shop, but a different shop told me the Hankooks only come in 4 or 10 ply. I drive an 03 Avalanche and don't think I need 10 ply. Was leaning toward the Coopers...- PJ0311
