    Time for a new muzzle loader sight. Open to suggestions.

    My trusty traditions pursuit is needing a new sight. The front sight is made of plastic, and the housing around the fiber optic failed. I can still aim, but the fiber optic is gone, so low light shooting is a challenge. I was about to buy a Williams replacement, but figured I'd ask for...

    .308 win bullet selection for new reloader

    Hey guys. I'm a novice reloader, just getting into it. My model 70 .308 has been shooting factory 165gr Nosler BTs well. I plan to start reloading the Nosler brass once I use up a bit more of the factory rounds. I'd like to pick a more solid bullet, either a bonded or mono. Looking for...

    Unusual gray squirrel

    We have this gray squirrel in our neighborhood this spring. It is dark brown/black with a cinnamon tail. I don't think I've seen one like this before. There is another normal gray with the same red tail as well. We have quite a few all black ones around as well as the normal grays. Thought it...

    2024 BHA Rendezvous in Minneapolis

    Who's all going to the BHA Rendezvous in Minneapolis this month? I've never been to a BHA event, but this is fairly close to home and looks like it could be a good event to bring the kids for a morning. I see a few prominent Hunt talkers will be presenting which makes me more interested as well.

    MN DNR under scrutiny for WMA logging

    I grew up hunting Mille Lacs WMA which is referenced in the article. It always seemed like the regrowth in recently logged areas was great habitat for deer and grouse, and didn't seem to be done excessively. https://queticosuperior.org/federal-officials-criticize-mn-dnr-for-logging-habitat-areas/

    MT antelope region 7 split proposal

    I saw a post on Facebook form region 7 fwp about this. The proposal would split the region 7 antelope district into a north and south unit with the Yellowstone river being the divider. My initial thought is it would be better for management to break it down further into smaller districts, but...

    Old school gear

    Found this while cleaning out my dad's garage last summer. I thought my FL-8 was getting old! Fishing electronics sure have come a long way.

    Ammo issue, or rifle issue? Help me please.

    I was given an older model 70 .22-250 from my grampa. Shot it for the first time and encountered something new to me. After firing, the bolt is extremely hard to open and three of the ten shots have what the internet tells me are "blanked" primers. I read this can be from several issues ranging...

    Article about solar farm impacts

    I thought this was a pretty good article exploring some of the negative impacts of solar farms. I hope it can make an impact before they blanket many more hundreds of thousands of acres of BLM. Solar farms Guardian

    There is no hunt. It's SLAUGHTER!

    Lots of "wow" moments for me while reading this article about the "slaughter" of the Yellowstone Bison. https://dailymontanan.com/2023/03/19/lets-be-clear-its-a-slaughter-not-a-hunt/

    Motorola Defy - inReach alternative?

    Just saw this and was intrigued. https://www.androidauthority.com/motorola-defy-satellite-link-3290893/ Looks like a less expensive option for communicating from a cell phone via satellite. It's nice to see more and more options hitting the market.

    Upgrading scopes on two model 70 featherweights; What would you do?

    My dad passed away this year and I inherited a couple of his rifles, one being his win model 70 featherweight xtr .308. I am debating replacing the current 3-9x Pentax with something a little nicer. It is accurate though, and made in the USA, so might just leave it alone for now. My...

    Financial advice part 2 YouTube video

    Just watched Randy's AMA financial advice part 2. Thanks for sharing the wisdom and advice. I would recommend watching it, especially you younger hunt talkers. The sooner you can get into good financial habits the more hunting you will be able to do as you get older! I enjoyed it as much as any...

    Thoughts on G5 M3 broadhead?

    Just curious if anyone here has experience with the G5 M3 broadhead? I've been using Rage heads, but want to move back to a more traditional style. I was planning to get the montecs, but my awesome wife bought me a pack of these for father's day. They look good, but I couldn't find any reviews...

    Montana 900-20 non resident archery tag

    Results were scheduled to be posted June 15. I checked today and was pleased to see results were posted early and I was drawn! My dad and I applied separately so I let him know to check. We were disappointed to see that he was unsuccessful. I was kind of surprised as looking at previous years...

    Northeast MN elk reintroduction efforts

    I saw this article and thought it would be worth sharing. I wonder if this will gain any momentum? It seems Wisconsin has been successful with their elk herd reintroduction. With enough public support I don't know why MN couldn't do the same in the E/NE part of the state. I know there are some...
