    Mountain goat solo or guide?

    My buddy and I hit it hard and had a great game plan for success. The early snow screwed me and I was never able to readjusted my plan to accommodate it. I still wouldn't hire a guide, I would study the area better to id alternative routes that my not have been so snowed in. I also waited for...

    pack set up and use

    A male should carry the majority of the weight they pack high, females lower around the hips. As for your setup, easy access so dont have to unpack everything to get at something is a must.

    Mountain goat solo or guide?

    Had a tag last season, didn't fill it. Buddy and I scouted and found a good number of goats. I did everything I felt was right to be successfully. Unfortunetly weather was always problematic when I went out and I never had an opportunity. Had I hired a guide, I wouldn't have had to work so hard...

    Game Carts

    I hate being this guy, but of the dozens of carts I've sold I can't think of one good feedback. Ones with inflatable tires get punctured while the hard tires get bent and twisted. Unless you have flat ground to cart around on you are likely asking for trouble trying to haul elk. I would be...

    What's up with the lighted nock deal?

    Archery is without question one of the fastest growing aspects of outdoor recreation. Why, bows are more readily available with more options and they are easier to "master". Archery has been glorified to youth through advertisements and medias such as movies and video games. Massive amounts of...

    Holy Hell!! What is the world going to do now?

    Unless you walk to all your spots, don only a loin cloth, and sport a club; you have made concessions.

    Holy Hell!! What is the world going to do now?

    I'm good with this. I hunt mostly by myself and like to film, even though most footage from a bow mounted camera sucks. I also like the idea of lighted nocks, they aid only in recovery. I understand the slippery slope arguement, it can be made with almost all aspects of the outdoors.

    Hunting gear

    The brands listed are obvisouly good ones. I own a number of pieces from each and like them all, however another brand I've been using and like is badlands camo. I love their packs, 2200, so decided to try the camo. They currently don't offer my favorite pattern, max1, but the quality has been...

    Great Falls adventures

    Forgot about the cmr, always wanted to go so thank you for that. Sounds like the sip and dip is on the agenda as well. I plan on bringing a few different rods so will try hitting up various locations. Just have to see what time allows. Thanks to all for suggestions.

    Great Falls adventures

    I will be in GF next week, June 2-5, and will have some free time. Anybody got recommendations on daily adventures I can do. Cool day hikes, places to try wetting a line, interesting historical places, natural wonder and splendor, etc. I'll be by myself and up for almost anything worth doing...

    fletching?

    Thunderheads are a good blade but are problematic with higher speeds. You will get more stability with more vane but how much is debatable. You will also get more stability with a tighter twist on your vanes, such as a helical. Tight twist are harder to do on smaller vanes such you will likely...

    New Rifle. Your Opinion Welcome

    Because you stated elk and mule deer, I would go with the .308. I own and love both rounds, the 7-08 is my favorite caliber. Ballisticlly speaking, the .284 stomps the .308. However, the 308 offers some much variety to the handloader that one could put together an awesome recipe. The .308s...

    First bow brands/models to research before going to the shop

    First of all, unless you buy crap you will get a good setup that you will be very happy with. It's just a matter of how much do you want to spend, bows quickly become a diminshing return. For high end, I'm a Hoyt guy. The new Faktor is awesome. For a lot of people, I recommed something within...

    Stolen Weapon ?

    Nope. Even if that firearm is reported as stolen and a serial number provided to the PD, there is very little chance of it being flagged. There is no national database that a guy can plug a number into and check. That is the gamble when buying used guns, both for a customer and vendor. Through...
