Alright I said I'd do it. Make Offseason Hunttalk Great Again.
I'm not 100% sure this was three years ago as I don't have any photos. 😞
Somewhere in that ballpark though, so we'll stick to it. Opening day of general rifle season, Montana. My best friend from growing up came to Helena to...
Anyone see the new Shot Show Browning X-Bolt releases? I need another rifle like I need a sharp stick in the eye; and if I get one, I might get the other as a bonus from my wife, but the X-Bolt 2 Pro SPR checks a lot of boxes. My first hunting rifle I bought for myself was a used X-bolt hunter...
Long story long, we had our boiler replaced with a high efficiency furnace and central air in the house, so the attached garage is no longer heated. Looking at all the available options, I realize I’m wholly unqualified to make this decision, so might as well engage the HT faithful.
House was...
Just received this year's property classification and appraisal notice - even though it's the second year of the two-year cycle (and our value increased $174k or 66% last year) the appraisal is getting bumped another $40k for market appreciation - so 82% in two years. Can't wait til the shop we...

Pretty wild story. Hopefully they throw the book at him.
New Crimson Trace laser grip for Taurus Judge/Tracker that I inherited from my grandpa. I can’t say with 100% certainty but it doesn’t look like it’s ever been installed. They retail for $300, I think I’d like $150 TYD.
Used HHA Tetra LT right handed Single Pin Slider. Came on a used bow I bought but I decided to stick with my 3-pin slider. Included sight tapes and mounting hardware, no packaging. I’m thinking $100 $80 TYD but open to offers.
This spring I bought a Stocky’s carbon hunter stock for my Remington 700 in 7mm Rem Mag. I put the stock on myself, haven’t bedded (yet) and used the factory magazine box and bottom metal. Rifle has a Timney elite Hunter trigger but is otherwise factory stock.
Went to the range today to...
But I’m not. So I’ll take the luck.
Deer camp 2022, central Montana, my buddy and I filled our cow tags last weekend so life is good and we can focus on finding good bucks. We arrive Friday afternoon, unhook the camper, and have about 2 hours to hunt before dark. We immediately spot a group...
Compared to most here, I'm fairly new to hunting and general off-grid outdoorsy-ness. On Sunday, a forest fire kicked up near the spot I've been archery hunting. Currently on the DNRC fire map, it's showing 650 acres and spread doesn't appear to be confined to any particular direction. To get...

Any take on this? My gut reaction due to the recent climate in Montana is to adamantly oppose anything outfitters suggest. Since...
Does the title of this thread look wrong to you? It sure does to me!
Not sure what made me think of this, but all the friends I've talked to along with myself distinctly remember these books as the Berenstein Bears. These were a big part of my childhood and it's like the world is trying to...
