Gotta love the shoulder season
Well I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks the whole thing is B.S. One question I have for you guys. I thought I read a post here a while back that it was against regulations that land owners were not allowed to sell access rights during the shoulder season. Is that correct, or am I... -

Gotta love the shoulder season
First thing first, I'm not trying to start a hot debate about the Montana Shoulder season. Second, I understand elk are over objective in some areas and it needs to be dealt with. At least FWP is allowing hunters to harvest the elk and put it in the freezer BUT, the way I see it, the shoulder... -

new pack suggestions?
My hunting buddy has an Eberlestock X2 and he loves it. Works great for day hunts and he has packed out some serious weight with it. I personally used a Slumberjack Bounty 4500. I would recommend the pack to anyone. It's very versatile in being able to be used for day hunts, backcountry...- HuntMT16

Grizzly Bear encounter- heads up for Centennials in SW MT
It's not surprising that they closed the area. There were three Grizzly attacks last weekend in SW Montana. The Forest Service closed the whole area of Bear Creek (South of Ennis) as a result of an attack. It's a pain, but done for safety. I don't know when they will re-open closed areas... -

Elk Strategy- Help me with my failed stalk
Like Elkstalker said, it's hard to say one way or the other without seeing the area in person. My thoughts are that I can see valid arguments to going to the left, or strait in like you did. Don't second guess and beat yourself up too much. There have been plenty of times we have all been... -

wife gave me the green light, but...
There are certainly units in Arizona that you can kill an elk without killing yourself. The bad part is Arizona is a draw only state for elk and it may take a few years to get drawn being from out of state. Putting in for late hunts will help. If you don't want to wait, I would suggest a mule... -

Elk and deer together???
Yes, deer and elk can be seen together in the same area. I watched a heard of 30+ elk feeding two weeks ago that had deer walking in and around the herd of elk. -

MT Unit 327
I haven't spent a ton of time in 327 but I have spent a few days in the eastern portion of the unit. I saw some deer but was primarily looking for elk when I was there. If you are horn hunting, I don't think your looking at the right unit. If you are just looking to put a little meat in the... -

Spotting scope??
I currently use a Redfield Rampage 20-60x60. It certainly leave alot to be desired in low light and on high zoom. If you use it with good lighting and between 20-45 power it is pretty impressive for a $200 spotting scope. I am a huge fan of Vortex optics, if you can swing the cash for a... -

MT youth hunt gun question
So to answer your question, it depends on how technical you want to get. The definition, by state law reads: "Hunt" means to pursue, shoot, wound, take, harvest, kill, chase, lure, possess, or capture or the act of a person possessing a weapon, as defined in 45-2-101, or using a dog or a bird... -

Do I have a bad scope or am I pulling?
I would recommend having someone else, who you know is a good shot, shoot your rifle a few times. This will help to determine if it's you or the rifle. I've never shot a X-bolt, but I think you should be able to get much better groups than you have. If a friend gets the same grouping, I would... -

Bank robber or prostitute?
Yes, divorce is expensive, costs you half of everything you own. But the way I see it, being married costs you everything that you own so in the long run........................ -

Bino's vs spotter ?
The debate of spotter vs binos is strictly a personal preference, in my opinion. There truly are pros and cons to both and it just depends what you are more comfortable with. If it's possible, I would suggest trying to find someone who has a big set of binos and someone who has a decent... -

Scouting Trip Ethics
Game getting bumped and spooked by others in the field is just part of it. As long as you are not intentionally spooking the elk, others SHOULD understand. Learning as much as you can about an area before the hunt is important and will only help in the long run. Who knows, you may run across... -

montana west yellowstone hunt. 362
362 is a good unit that holds plenty of elk. If you're not having any luck finding elk, you can always try the Gravelly mountains, units 323,324 and 330. The Gravellys hold alot of elk but there's a lot more roads with easier terrain so it has more hunters as well. There are grizzlies in... -

Unit 330 Damage hunts
Hey, I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with Montana's HD 330 for damage hunts. It's the first year I've put in for a damage hunt in this unit and currently sit #21 on the list. Just wondering if there are any hunts that typically occur or if I burnt my damage hunt roster spot for...
