    Practicing bear defense shooting

    You were in my neighborhood. We had a USFS law enforcement officer killed while riding his mtn bike near Glacier park last summer. He actually collided with a large male grizz. I ride gated roads several days a week and have for years carried my bear (moose) spray in the water bottle holder. Not...

    Practicing bear defense shooting

    As a hunter, and more specifically a predator hunter in grizzly country, I always recognize the potential for a bear attack when calling. I try to follow all of the rules for calling safety but realize that sometimes "stuff" happens! This was brought home to me about 4 yrs ago when an adult...

    Bear: Shot Placement

    I would argue just the opposite. I think especially on bears that the preferred RIFLE shot is right through the shoulders. It will effectively anchor them and all of their vital organs are either in the bullets path or subject to the shrapnel effect from breaking bones (depending on position of...

    Big Bore Boar!

    They age by examining the teeth. The biologist who examined mine has spent the last 23yrs as a Grizzly specialist here in MT for USFW. Quite a job, from spring through late fall he spends 20 days in the woods trapping and collaring bears, 10 days off at home, then back into the woods. Sure beats...

    Got it done!

    That is an old matriarch, Congrats! Interesting that she had no cubs. I know this sounds odd but take a close look at her nipples. If they are stretched and leathery then she may be barren due to old age. On the other hand if they are smooth and appear to be unused then there is a VERY HIGH...

    Montana Spring Bear Success: Photos and Video

    You are correct. It is FWP policy to only enforce the rule if the camera is out scouting a species that there is a current open season for.

    Big Bore Boar!

    With the heaviest snowfall in decades, Montana's spring bear season has been off to a slow start. The season opened on April 15th but access was about impossible until the last few weeks. I have been out evenings and weekends but have not seen a single bear, and only a few piles of fresh scat...

    Is hunting big game accompanied by a dog legal?

    Having the dog leashed would be in your favor. Here in MT any dog used for blood trailing MUST be on a leash less than 50 feet long. The reg booklets don't go into detail but the statute does.

    Any wolf killing?

    My psychiatrist diagnosed me as "obsessed with wolf hunting". I fired him real quick and now I have an extra five hundred a month to spend on hiking boots and ammunition!

    Wolf at 12 yards!

    It is one of many options. It just depends on the circumstances, terrain and weather. The more you do it the more you'll get a feel for what you think will work. Good luck!
