So there I was, looking for Mule Deer in Idaho's high country. Solo, public land. Good morning so far, no bucks around yet, but I did see a few does, and a big bull Elk.
The morning goes on and a Coyote makes an appearance. I had never killed a Coyote before, or even tried to. After watching...
Yeah I knew the MeatEater guys while living in Bozeman and they told me he was doing good work for them. A year or so after I took my hide to Justin, Rinella apologized on their podcast to everyone they had recommended Sabol to. I had just moved to Bozeman from the Missoula area, so I didn't...
It's Justin Sabol in Bridger Canyon, as several have posted now. There is a lot of drama, lying, and even some legitimately serious personal issues going on with that whole family that I was made aware of over the last four years. Some of that led to my hesitation to name him. I'm not going to...
I am posting his name in a post reply now. Generally, I have felt that putting people's names on the internet should be avoided for legal and safety reasons, both for the person being named, and the person naming him. I've been through it enough with Justin - including with attorneys and LE -...
Hello there - bumping up this thread with an update. After almost four years of the most unprofessional disorganized mess of trying to get my bear hide back from this taxidermist in Bozeman, I finally got confirmation today that my bear hide is gone. Quick recap:
Pathological lying and...
Echoing the difficulty from others here on killing one without bait or traps. I always carry a tag, and like others I have seen or heard them almost every fall while Elk hunting (Montana), but getting a shot hasn't happened. Howled a pack in to about 100 yards while bowhunting a few years ago -...
Well I’m just over 7 months. Really would like the damn thing by spring bear season, never imagined that would be in question when I applied.
As I said before for anyone new in the thread: I called the ATF form 4 line and they cannot offer any insight or time estimates. They can just tell you...
Any recent updates on folks getting their suppressors? I submitted June 30, somewhere around 225 days now. I called them and they had zero insight as to what I could expect.
Does anyone know what the in-person non-resident buying situation was for the tags this year? I was position 2100 in line and didn't get any of my top tag choices, of which there were 1500. We have gotten the same tags in previous years in position 6000. Makes me think there were a *lot* of...
Managed to grab a DAV general deer tag, which I missed on last year. Did not get an elk tag, and was going to pay full non-res prices, but my top seven zone choices were all gone. I am more fortunate than most with the deer tag it sounds like, and very excited about it! But man oh man did I want...
