    2026 SE Alaska Spring Bear Hunt

    My son and I were lucky enough to draw Unit 2 (Prince of Wales) black bear tags for the spring of 2026. Having never done this, I’m looking for tips from those who have. My preference would be to stay at a lodge or cabin and hunt from there. Is this feasible? Should I be looking into a float...

    I thought Alaska draw results were supposed to be posted today. I’m not seeing them. Am I missing them somehow?

    Can you believe the map on my phone doesn’t have the Gulf named properly?

    My 2024 Elk/Deer Season Recap

    2024 was another season of too much work and not enough hunting. It turned out to be a productive year though. I love bow hunting and it’s always my goal to get a bull with my bow. This year was no different. I shoot my bow all summer. It’s something that I enjoy doing most evenings after...

    RIP Pete Rose

    I know he broke the rules, but I think they should have eventually let him in the hall of fame. There’s no doubt that he was one of the greatest baseball players ever.

    Pack Rats

    I have a pack rat under the hood of one of my trucks. I’ve tried rat traps and rat poison. Neither has worked. Any tips on how to get rid of it?

    Best place to buy jack leg fencing?

    I’m looking to buy materials to build a treated jack leg fence. I’ve checked with Montana Fence in Bozeman and may end up getting it there. It’s fairly expensive, so I was wondering if there’s a better place to buy it in SW MT?

    New 30-06. Thinking about trying copper.

    I have a new 30-06 that I don’t have much ammo for. I’ve never shot copper bullets, so I thought this might be a good time to try some. I will be using this as an all around rifle for elk, deer, and pronghorn. Any recommendations on some factory ammo that I could try? What grain bullet would you...

    Texas Panhandle Wildfires

    I was surprised to read about fires burning this time of year. Sounds like the biggest one is 500,000 acres already.

    Montana vs South Dakota State

    South Dakota State is a 12.5 point favorite. Anyone giving the Griz a chance? I’m hoping they can pull off the upset.

    Anybody have a good jerky recipe for the oven?

    My son wants to make some jerky out of his deer and I’ve never done it before. Anybody have a good recipe for the oven?

    Maui is burning.

    It’s sad to see Maui burning. There are reports that much of Lahaina has been destroyed. My wife and I just got back from our first ever trip to Hawaii. We stayed near Lahaina. I hope they are able to get everyone out safely. It was easy to see how the dry side of the island would be at risk for...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    With my youngest being 5 years away from graduating high school, I’ve been thinking more about retirement lately. I’ve always worked more than one job and never seem to have enough time to hunt and travel. I’d like to do more of both before I’m too old to enjoy it. Curious if anyone has a plan...

    Would you change your state of residency to burn points?

    Point creep in Colorado and wanting to hunt a once in a lifetime elk unit got me to thinking. Would you ever consider moving to burn your points as a resident instead of a non resident? As bad as I want to hunt certain units in Colorado, I don’t think I would move away from Montana to do it.

    Mann Gulch Hike

    Today @Nameless Range and I did a hike that was years in the making. I don’t really remember when I became infatuated with the Mann Gulch Fire, the deadliest fire ever for the smoke jumpers, but it’s been many years. I’ve seen these mountainsides from the river below several times. Today we saw...

    I’m that guy.

    A buddy and I drew the unit ## type 1 tag with an average of 13 points. I had 14 and he had 12. Looks like it was 85% at 13 points, so we feel good about getting the most out of our points. I did a ton of researching and calculating leading up to the draw and we felt like this unit was the one...
