2023/2024 update !!! Norris Road Elk Hunt

[MTLabrador]

I think my .30-06 is basically a primitive weapon and should qualify as well.

 

[FREAK]

Never been there, but a friend told me this is a hotspot because you glass the wheatfields, and see across Norris Road to the other stuff that borders the Ted Turner's Flying D Ranch.

And we're officially into the off season . Maybe someone can go up there and shoot a stubble field bull in some muck boots with the old traditions muzzleloader. That would put the cherry on top for this thread.

Fuggin woofs.

The regulations only specify a plain lead projectile, so I’m working on developing a bullet mold based on a .50 caliber 645 grain Berger VLD. Should be a BC over .6.

How much "jump" from the lands? Asking for a friend

My Kentucky rifle is a 1:66 twist, you think that'll be stable past 1000? Really wish they'd have gone with a faster twist rate back in the 1700s, it's like they were only planning to shoot 100 yards

You won’t kill one by staying at home. Hold high and hope for the best.

Between Sportsmans Warehouse and Murdochs there's several tons of 50 cal roundballs in Bozeman. Let it rain roundballs.

shutting off the engine perks their senses and spooks them. Gotta keep it running and keep rolling slow

This guy hunts!

3 seconds worth of either one is awesome

Another option is to go up Rock Creek and sneak in the back way.

No. Best option is to get ahold of the dehann ranch folks and get some permission - everybody's doing it. Meet up on Ratard Point.

I'll probably start at the moon tower with some speed loaders ready for action

Are we all going in and making a community event?? We should all make this an annual HT reunion

Dehann Ranch enrolled as Type 1 BMA, just don't have the signs up yet.

It's like the Matador Ranch, you don't even have to sign in, you just go.

I’ll bring the celebratory HopZone

I wonder if it is the same Dehan that denied me permission to cross a half section near my house to get to ground I had permission to hunt.
My crossing that 1/2 section in the dark would " disrupt the elk" for the other (UTV) hunters.Even better was the follow up comment stating " I wish all them elk were gone".
Go figure.
