    Anyone selling a meat grinder? (Found one)

    Is anyone selling a .5 hp meat grinder? Buddy in the Bozeman area is looking for one. Don’t think he’d need anything bigger but open to options too

    Am I just over reacting? Or will I get sick? Elk meat question

    This year I had to hang my buddy and I’s elk quarters in the walk-in cooler for about 11 days. The temp there is ~36-38 Degrees Fahrenheit. When I went to pick it up, the quarters started to have white mold on them. Was freaked out and devastated at first, but after doing some reading and...

    2024 Hunt “New Fronts and Challenges”

    2024 is the first year I’ve had to contend with balancing the desire to hunt with the fact I can’t leave the wife with the baby every weekend. It led to some scheduling challenges, but after some debate and some excellent negotiations on my part, it was finalized. I did not get out much this...

    Stuck between a Griz and a hard place…

    Went hunting on the family ranch the last day of shoulder season. About 100 yards from where I parked I saw some funky looking tracks. Kept walking and then boom. I recognized them. A little spooked, i decided to get out of the bottom and crest the tops. I got to my glassing point and began...

    Spotting scope magnification question

    Looking at buying my first spotting scope… specifically looking at the Vortex Viper 15-45 or 20-60 straight lens for glassing western/central Montana. Haven’t had a chance to try either out in person yet but anyone have advice on if the extra magnification is worth it? Or does it just limit...

    Baby Name Ideas Wanted

    The missus and I are expecting our first… among the million other things we are trying to learn we have discovered naming the thing is not so easy. My wishes (not necessarily hers, though she’s liked some of the ideas I have floated) are Montana/frontier history themed without being overly...

    Need Truck Wisdom on 09-14 Pickups

    Hey all, Looking at putting my ‘96 GMC K1500 out to pasture finally. My price range has led me to something in the 2009-2014ish range. Been looking a lot at the F150 but after doing some reading seems like the EcoBoost in the 3.5L has its share of Gremlins. Hoping someone can help give me some...

    Euro Mount Cleaning in the winter months

    I started doing my own euro mounts this year. It’s a blast and a great way to wrap up a hunt. I got all the equipment for it but there’s one problem: Montana winters and pressure washers don’t mix well. I was wondering if anyone has tips on how to pressure wash skulls when it’s below freezing...

    Girlfriend’s First Deer (MT General Season)

    This weekend (26 Nov. 2022) I was able to take the girlfriend out for her first deer, something I’ve been daydreaming about for months now and a huge goal of mine for this season. We hiked some public land and put in over 8 miles round trip. We got on the road at 0430 (much to her dismay) and...

    Montana Deer Season; “Back in the Saddle”

    I’ve been hunting for most of my life and have shot two deer the first two years I was able to hunt. Since then I’ve been busy with life so this year was the first year I could go out and apply all I’ve been learning about hunting since then. So far, I’ve been able to fill my Regional Whitetail...
