Updated Mystery Ranch Metcalf packs - any users?
I bought a new MR Marshall last summer. I packed camp with it several times scouting for my mountain goat hunt, packed camp and used it for my hunt. I also ended up packing a hind quarter of a bull elk for a friend, then my mountain goat and two mule deer. So I don't know if you would...- HuntMT16

Lessons learned from MG scouting trip
Couple other things I wanted to add, for those who draw a tag in the future. Get yourself a lightweight rifle for the hunt. I used my old Remington 700 7mm, with the wood stock for my hunt. It weighed in just over 10 pounds. I really wished I could have dropped about 3-4 pounds of rifle...- HuntMT16

Montana MG hunt recap
We should have taken better photos, that I do regret. Several of the photos show the Billy's right eyeball coming out of the socket, which I have yet to figure out why that is. My bullet hit between the center of his brisket and left shoulder at the perfect height, and came out near the hock of...- HuntMT16

Montana MG hunt recap
Shortly before dusk, we glassed up a nanny and kid, then finally the big Billy, who was running with a smaller Billy. I thought it was weird they were together since they should have been rutting, but maybe I am wrong about that. The goats were moving to our right which actually played into my...- HuntMT16

Montana MG hunt recap
So, I'm super delayed in writing about my Mountain Goat hunt, but here it is, with a few thoughts on mountain goat hunts before the details. Sorry for the long read, but it's between seasons so we have time. LOL Mountain Goat hunting is unlike any other hunt I've been on. I thought to myself...- HuntMT16

Book on Tanning
They say every animal has enough brains to tan it's own hide. Brains are brains so you could use beaver brains to tan a deer hide, you would just need several heads to do it. As far as if you can safely use CWD positive deer brain to tan a hide, I honestly have no idea.- HuntMT16

Book on Tanning
Brain Tanning The Sioux Way is a really good book. It does not cover different ways of tanning hides, only how to brain tan. But if you want to things the old fashioned way, this is a great book- HuntMT16

FS Bowtech Assasin
Well, I clearly overestimated the value. I honestly figured that was a fairly decent price to ask but it's been a long time since I've looked at bows. So, thanks for the input. Maybe I will leave it in the closet -

Meat locker options
I appreciate all of the input. I never had a specific number of animals I wanted to hang, figuring an 8x8 would give me more than enough room for my stuff and anyone else who needed a place to hang something. But I am really liking the idea of the commercial fridge, mainly that it's portable...- HuntMT16

24' MT Mountain Goat Harvest
My goat wasn't even listed. It was checked by the local warden and not a biologist so maybe that's why?- HuntMT16

Meat locker options
I am getting ready to build a meat cooler at my house. I am planning an 8x8 cooler with 2x6 walls, R30 insulation, with plywood walls on the inside (painted with Kilz paint for easy clean up) insulated door and all sealed up really well. I plan to cool it with a new air conditioner and a...- HuntMT16

Lessons learned from MG scouting trip
Newest update: One overlooked aspect of drawing this tag was time management. There was plenty of time spent planning days to hunt and coordinating time off. I figured I would have a lot of time to scout and was very wrong and should have planned better for the scouting side of things than I...- HuntMT16

Lessons learned from MG scouting trip
A few weekends ago I was able to make it up into the mountains for the first scouting trip for my Montana Mountain Goat hunt. I am fortunate to live very close to my hunt unit so there will be some more scouting trips in the near future. But for now, I figured I would share some things...- HuntMT16

Tent/sleeping bag help?
You can find a Klymit Wild Aspen 0 Degree bag on amazon for $32.00 currently. It comes in right around 3 pounds and packs nicely into the sleeping bag pouch on my MR Marshall. I have not used the sleeping bag yet as I just ordered it, but I've seen good reviews on it. For $32, it's worth...- HuntMT16
