That was the method we were using. All of the little folds that you couldn't see into from the truck or from the glassing points is what I kept telling the kids could be holding antelope. It's kinda became the sounding board for if they were getting bored or needed a change of scenery. "One...
I added on a pronghorn tag to my Wyoming elk hunt based on the late draw results of the Montana antelope draw. Based on the number of tags, I figured this would be a perfect "typical" western antelope hunt and decided to have my kids (6yo son, 8yo daughter) experience it as their first western...
Just picked up a new pair of Shnees boots!
I'll tell you what, I feel like I'm closer to home in Ann Arbor than I am in a mountain town; walking around Bozeman 😉
I have found myself with the afternoon to kill in Bozeman. Coming from the Midwest we really don't have anywhere to try on a variety of boots. Since I'm here I figure the best way to use my free time is to try to find a pair of boots that actually fits me. Anybody have any recommendations on...
All of my merino and alpaca socks I order the next size larger than I would have in cotton socks. I wear a 10.5 boot, but order the extra large/size 13 socks if they are going to be wool. I bought my first couple pairs of DT in my normal Large size and after about 6 months in the daily...
I've been applying for doe tags in 115 for the past 3 draw cycles to see if it's an area i want to burn my (now) 9 points. Good to hear some intel. I'll still likely drive that way on my way to my elk hunt in the Wyoming Range in a couple weeks to check out the scenery. The terrain of the...
I've already got the rest of this year mapped out with hunts in Wyoming and Montana. But shoot me a PM with your thoughts for next year and maybe we can put something together. I travel up north a couple times a year so just keep me posted.
I hunted the type 2 tag about 10 years ago. It was a pinch difficult finding them on the public, but I wrapped up my first ever western hunt after day 3. Roads and two tracks were all passable in a stock suv.
I was 16 when Michigan first opened the youth season. Shot my first deer and first buck that September. I was already going to be a lifelong hunter. But if I was on the fence, getting first crack and an "easier" shot at unpressured bucks still in their summer patterns sure may have sold me...
From another michigander, you mentioned the potential to bowhunt the rifle season? If you are that gung-ho about bow hunting, I would actually suggest hunting Nov 3 or 4th through maybe the 10th or 12th. I have found the best "chase phase" of the rut is happening during those times and hunting...
