I have a youth model Remington 870, 20 ga, 3". It was going to be my daughter's gun but she hasn't shown any interest in shooting so I'm going sell it to a co-worker and need some advice on a fair price. Its only been shot maybe half dozen times, excellent condition. What does everyone think...
Anyone here shot a coyote with an arrow, are they notoriously hard to blood trail? Shot one last night, frontal shot in the front of the chest , he spun around on the ground a couple times yelping then ran off into some thick brush where I could hear him snarling for a few seconds, then silent...
I have a pair or schnees pac boots that are almost 20 years old, the leather uppers are still in pretty good shape, but the rubber bottom parts are cracking and coming apart. Has anyone sent a pair back for rebuild? How did they turn out? Looks like it costs about 1/2 the price of a whole new...
---SOLD---Just inherited some reloading supplies, including die sets for a few different cartridges that I have no use for. .308, 300 Win Mag, 300 Wby Mag
All appear to be in good shape, the 308 don’t look like they’ve ever even been used. The 300Win Mag comes with a shell holder, the other 2...
Any advice on shopping for a used bow (compound)? The bow I'm using now is well over 30 years old and I'd like to try upgrading to something newer but can't afford the prices of brand new. I can find lots for sale online at good prices but would rather buy something that I can see in person...
Has anyone hit a deer in the spine with an arrow and not had it break the spine - dropping right there?
I shot a whitetail doe this morning, 15 yards broadside, the hit looked a little high but definitely behind the shoulder blade. The Wierd thing was the arrow only appeared to go in maybe...
Specifically Lewistown area…
I’ve moved around the state a fair amount, been here in Lewistown a little over a year now. Always happy to meet anyone new to hunt, fish with, etc. also just to know someone in the area to call if I need help tracking something, being color-blind, blood on the...
Just switched over to my broadheads and getting my bow sighted in for them. Everything is dead on at 20 yards but when I back up to 30 or 40, they’re hitting to the left. My sight doesn’t allow left-right adjustment of individual pins, only the whole bracket. What else can I do to correct...
Definitely not looking for anyone’s secret spot or anything. I just moved to Lewistown from the west side of the state this spring. From the searching I’ve done I know most of the elk around the snowies are on private by now, however most of the posts I’ve found have all been from people with...
This whitetail has been hanging around my backyard all fall and I’m about 99% sure it’s an antlered doe. Has little spikes even smaller than you’d expect on a yearling buck, maybe 2” long. Always has a fawn with her.
I’ll be interested to see if she’s still around next year if those antlers...
I saw there was a similar post not too long ago and i read the suggestion there about the "catch and release" clothing, i will definitely check that out as well but if anyone has any hunting clothes your kids have grown out of, that might fit my 8 year-old daughter, she and I would greatly...
Leupold scope that I’ve had for many years developed an issue this fall and I had to send it in for warranty repair/replacement.
My tracking number shows it was delivered to them on December 14th, but I never heard anything from Leupold to confirm they received it. I emailed them with the...
When hunting on state trust lands in MT, does anyone know the specifics of the rule regarding how far you must be from houses. In the regulations I found this:
“• Firearms may not be discharged within one-quarter mile of inhabited dwellings or outbuildings on state trust lands
without...
Ever since moving to Montana from Michigan 5 years ago I have been trying very hard to get my first elk. Harvested plenty of deer and had some close encounters with elk, but no success (until now). During rifle season last year I found a wallow here in northwest Montana that I went back to...
Just shot my first elk a couple weeks ago and took the head to a beetle place for a European mount, should be done in a few months. In the mean-time I’m wanting to start making the wooden plaque to mount it on. How does everyone attach their euro mounts to the plaque?
Thanks
Hello everyone, I joined the site awhile back, but never introduced myself. I live on the flathead reservation in NW Montana. Love the outdoors, work as a habitat specialist for PF, and spend all my free time hunting, fishing, or camping. The last couple seasons have been focused mainly on...
