I loved growing up in the Ozarks but due to my lungs no longer working well in the humidity I had to head for dryer air and wound up in Montana- JimQ

Plans for 2023
Raisen Bran and I are already plotting out the maps and locations for our summer scouting leading into the 2023 Elk archery season. My plan is simply for both of us to get our first elk whether bull or cow with our recurves. After that it's all gravy!!!- JimQ

2022 spring turkey
Obviously the first place to start in Montana would be to go to the FWP site and look up the harvest reports for the past 5 years which will give you a good idea of whether their populations are growing or declining in certain areas plus what kind of pressure you are looking at.- JimQ

2022 spring turkey
Im sure they are in certain areas however I have seen quite a few flocks just driving down the highway. Every time I drive through Townsend I see a flock on the north side of town that seem totally oblivious to people.- JimQ

2022 spring turkey
The biggest thing I have noticed is that the Merriam's up here in Montana just aren't as skittish as the Easterns back in Missouri. I have to assume it's due to less pressure on them up here then there.- JimQ

2022 spring turkey
Unfortunately, the MRI was not good and end up having to have a scope done on the knee. I determined that it was not in my best interest to be walking around out there in the hills only a couple of weeks after the surgery so did not get to go chase any ridge roosters. Come next spring hopefully...- JimQ

What hunting clothing brand do you use??
Moving to Montana from Missouri I discovered that my stuff that worked for sitting in a deer stand all day does not translate to the mountains and miles of walking. I have replaced everything with Huntsworth which is cheap and I have zero complaints about.- JimQ

Show me your junk…
My "extra" junk always ends up going to some teenager that is getting started in hunting and doesn't have the funds for a lot of stuff. We are a billet family for our local junior hockey team and when our goalie showed up from Minnesota and we proceeded to talk to about hunting I loaded him...- JimQ

My first Montana whitetail and my PB as I have always shot the first thing legal since I always after the meat and not the horns. -
1st Montana Whitetail
One of the great things about this is that my dad who passed in 1992 is always with me on every hunt. He bought this Bokar in 1980 and it has cleaned hundreds of deer, rabbits, squirrels, turkeys, beaver, grouse, pheasant…just about everything. So far I think the only thing it hasn’t is an elk... -

1st Montana Whitetail
Being from Missouri I am well acquainted with whitetails and still believe they eat a whole lot better then Muleys. 54 years old and never killed a big buck because I was always a meat hunter. This 4x4 is my personal best and gotta say a much bigger body then Missouri bucks. He presented himself... -

Weekend Libations
Had a bad day yesterday at my pitiful attempt at whitetail hunting. I got up at 3:30am to get to the spot and setup before shooting light….forgot my coat….then made a bad decision to go explore the road back in the mountains on the back side of my hunting spot. Buried the truck in snow. Took me...- JimQ
