    Turkeys not Gobbling

    On small properties I hunt very conservative. I'm quiet going in and don't move a bunch. You can easily run birds off your property if you are too aggressive. I sit and wait and if a bird sounds off and is coming my way, I don't even call. It may be boring to some but it works. I have found...

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    Also don't forget each person has a responsibility to take care of themselves. Helping future generations is a noble thought but part of the reason people are so stupid, lazy and weak now days is because they were pampered and given to much. Hard work, pain, and suffering builds appreciation...

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    Two scenarios, which one is right? 1. Guy works hard, lives conservatively. No new trucks or soccer mom vehicles. Lives in a 1,000 sq ft house. No fancy clothes, vacations or constantly eating out. Brown bags his lunch, no Starbucks. Doesn't smoke or drink. Pays cash or does without. Takes care...

    Am I looking for a unicorn?

    If I could find a fair chase situation where success on a 300 bull was the norm, not just a rare occurrence, I'd feel better about paying that kind of money. I don't want to go to a place where they hammer smaller bulls with only an occasional 300 bull. I know it costs money for outfitters and...

    Am I looking for a unicorn?

    I am looking for a high success rifle hunt for a 300" plus bull. I have posted here before about a elk hunt and received several leads. I have applied the last two years in New Mexico with an outfitter. I am 62 years old. I have been buying points in WY (will have 4 for next year) and have...

    Is the western hunting bubble bursting? (Or at least shrinking?)

    If folks ever figure out the applications scam going on at Huntin Fool and WTA Tags we may see applications continue to drop. They encourage people to apply for everything because they pocket money for each and every entry. They are right in, you can't draw if you don't apply, but most will...

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    Definitely shows a drop in applicants overall and an encouraging trend to those who want to hunt Montana every year. Stops the insane points build up. We have drawn deer combo with one point two years in a row. Those with 3 points will be at a multi year low next year. I like it!!

    Scope mounting loctite or not?

    I always use it on steel bases and mounts. I never found it necessary on aluminum mounts.
