    Montana Public Land Bull, Finally

    The reason the skull is in the creek was because we were going to be there a few more days and keeping it cold while cleaning it at camp. I said to myself, that looks pretty cool! 😁

    Montana Public Land Bull, Finally

    I agree 100%! Just used it as a reference, but you're right!

    Montana Public Land Bull, Finally

    I haven`t killed a bull in a few years, although I do make the 2500 mile drive every Sept from NC to MT, so I have had a few year dry spell since my last bull (2014). For the area we hunt, this one was pretty good. I`m guessing 320", but most of you guys know better than I do. The last bull I...

    MT elk hunting

    What area of NC are you from? I make the drive from NC to MT every Sept. There is some solid advice given. Expect about 3 days to acclimate to the altitude. Carry chapstick for your lips and nose. The humidity isn't in the 90%+ like it is here! Expect to continue to go once you've been...

    Daughter Iowa Archery

    Nicely done, and good looking buck! Referring to pic#2, generally speaking, ladies seem to have a knack for breaking, ripping, or, shooting a hole right through a heart! Lol! Seriously though, perfect shot placement!

    First marathon

    Not to sidetrack this thread, but I agree with the last statement of your post. Well, actually the entire post. But I've heard some dispute that running helps. I can say with 100% certainty that after getting into distance running, the time that it use to take me to acclimate to the altitude...

    First marathon

    4:20 is a great time! I thought about doing Chicago, mainly because of the crowd and a good flat/fast course. Keep it up and good luck on your hunt!

    Elk Camp

    100% agree on your first two paragraphs! The odd part is, after about the second night of being awaken by screaming bulls, I just want to open the tent door and ask them to please SHUT UP! :mad: LOL!:ROFLMAO:

    Elk Camp

    Where I set up camp, which elk are right above camp bugling all night, I've had elk within 60 yards of my tent the last two years. Just be careful on your camp set up, or how active you are around camp. Unless we're cold and wet, we don't even build a campfire. This is strictly my personal...

    First marathon

    Nice job! What was your time? Side Note: just finishing is an accomplishment! Be careful, running marathons can get addictive! With the title of your thread, there's implications of more to come! I've ran a couple, and will be in DC in two weekends to run the Marine Corps Marathon. Have...

    Personal Locator

    Last year I had a similar situation. Hunting partner had to cancel his part of our elk hunt due to his house being in the path of a hurricane. Wife wasn't happy with me going alone. Then I introduced her to the InReach and sold her on all the features. Heck, she texted me the other day while...

    Is there anything that preys on pine squirrels? Can I train one to take with me on elk hunts?

    I take silicone earplugs on my elk hunts specifically so that I can take a midday nap without me losing too many arrows! 🐿️=😠

    Used It To My Advantage...

    ...and it ALMOST worked! Went on our annual elk hunt in MT, and were in elk everyday with no one in the entire drainage with us for the first couple days. Then on, I think, Tuesday, I hear the awfullest bugling that I've heard heading close to one of the bulls that we were after. My elk...

    Idaho 2019 (Re)cap

    Good luck! We're on our last stretch this morning, after driving since Wednesday at noon and a short hotel stay last night. 2400 miles from NC to our trailhead. We do it every year and love it!

    Hunting Gear and Boots Recommendations for North Carolina Hunting

    It all depends on what part of the state. Like mentioned, if Piedmont to coast, it will most likely be pleasant to warm. If so, take a Thermocell! But don't get too carried away or over think on the apparel. Light layers is the way to go during that time of year, due to cool mornings. If...

    Sucks

    I've never peeped a word about my preferred elk hunting location, as most on here won't. Heck, I don't even tell anyone if I hunt on the right side or left side of the state. But I do make my annual contribution (small fortune to me) to the great state of MT to go on an expensive camping...

    Swan Mount back finally

    That is a nice mount! I had one hanging for almost 25 years and had friends and family ask about it than the other mounts. Werty, to me, they taste similar to a Canada goose. They're alright. Grind them to burger meat is best.
