    Montana’s best steaks

    Normally nothing at all but some do add ketchup.....some. As you say don't want to derail the thread, I never had a bad steak in the ribnchop house in Livingston but the last time was 2018 so things might have changed?

    Rifle setup is to scope as fly rod set up is to _____.

    As above, fly line weight/makeup. For example, a 6 weight rod, you will struggle to get it to cast efficiently, but stick a 7 weight on it and you will find it will work, although be careful, it might over load the rod. I had a load of fly lines manufactured for me 20 years ago, I sold them for...

    Guide tipping question

    You are joking right? I never expect a tip, but around 50% of my fishing/hunting clients do, and it ranges from on average 10-25% We always tip in restaurants, unless the service has been terrible, which is very rare. Just to mention, I have always given a good tip to any fly fishing guides...

    Neck shots.

    From memory you shot the roe buck with me with a neck shot?

    Neck shots.

    I have never neck shot an Elk, but more deer than I care to remember, I keep it simple, all less than 100 yards, face on or from the rear, never side on, too risky side on, you can just hit the windpipe and it will run off and have a slow death, and you will just think, damn I missed.
