Idaho 2023
way way slower. Last year I was 16k in line but still didn't have to wait that long to get into the purchase area, even though the tags were gone. Last I calculated we were at 9.3 people per minute, and it seems even slower now.- daltrix99

Deer - lets see em
Managed to find a cool buck here in Western Montana recently. He is heavy, tall, and has some cool features. Found him with a doe on lock down in a small patch of isolated Douglas Firs at around 6k ft. As you can see, plenty of snow, and it was COLD. -
Elk .... Let's see them!!!
I think I killed a bull from Mars! His brow tines are ET's fingers! -

I would do whatever you can with the cops. If they are willing to go with you, maybe you can get in and get your bull back.- daltrix99

Taxidermist Nightmare - need serious advice
Seriously? Countless times - in the title post I said I've even shown up at his shop multiple times. Calls, texts, have offered to pay for shipping, have said I don't care if it's not done, etc. etc.- daltrix99

Taxidermist Nightmare - need serious advice
Update: Talked to the local warden. I am one of many dealing with this exact scenario with this taxidermist. The taxidermist is under investigation by Montana FWP for multiple charges, and has his own lawyer. Since the taxidermist does still (erratically) communicate with me, maybe I will get...- daltrix99

Taxidermist Nightmare - need serious advice
Thanks. It’s in SW Montana. I’ve talked to some locals, including some prominent hunting personalities. They are all familiar with the bad experiences people have been having the last year or so, but I haven’t heard any advice on how I can get my hide back. That’s why I’m thinking either cops or...- daltrix99

Taxidermist Nightmare - need serious advice
Shot a bear in fall of 2019 and dropped it off to a local taxidermist that was well recommended at the time. Many people on this site know who he is, but I’m not going to disclose that information publicly. For the first two years he said he was way behind, but the hide was fine. For the last...- daltrix99

Talk to me about lightening storms in the mountains
Had a gnarly one roll in on us in the Bob Marshall a few summers ago. We were right at tree level and those that were around were sparse. Our only goal was to descend, and we were literally running down the mountain as the storm was starting to light up the mountain. Not fun. We got low enough...- daltrix99

Poll: Rifle Caliber for Western Hunting
If anyone is still following this thread, I changed things up and went .300 WM. Alamo Precision is building the rifle for me, and the owner Jason helped steer me to WM vs the WSM. Several factors played in, including ammo availability, the sometimes finicky nature of seating WSM loads, and that... -
Poll: Rifle Caliber for Western Hunting
Yep huge consideration right now. I will be hand loading, but brass and powder is equally tough to find.
