    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    I'm glad I'll never set foot in, let alone hunt in Virginia.

    Sounds like a close call and good shoot. Be careful out there...

    Flying with Pot call and Strikers in carry-on?

    I flew last week with one and 2 strikers in a carry on backpack with zero problem. The scope I had in there, now that's a different story. They let it go, but made an "exception". There was a debate about it being a gun part or used as a club.

    Grizzlies in the bighorns

    From the article “The Bighorn Mountain Range is not suitable habitat and the department is not interested in allowing grizzly bears to occupy this area,”....what does that mean?

    Looking for good cartridge and budget rifle for 14 y/o

    Ruger American, 7mm-08. A bit more forgiving for elk, imho. And will be plenty for deer. The 25-06 recommendation earlier or the 6.5 cm would work too. I'm just not in the 6mm fan base for elk.

    Pics of animals you weren't hunting

    Surprised no one called me out on that one, i was kind of cheating. I was on a walking bridge over the small river that runs thru Estes Park for that pic. The rest were much more wild 😉
