    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    That is true. This speaks to the sheeple mentality they seem to subscribe to that became so prevalent during the abomination of time referred to as the "covid years". Politicians aren't going to fix the issues we have in the field right now. Hell, we have an entirely "red" legislature in my...

    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    In no particular order: Social Media OnX Flat Brim Hats LibTards In all seriousness, I see it as a conglomeration of things. I can only relate my own experiences growing up and hunting in MT since I was 10. So, call that a solid 37 years. Some things I have noticed: 1. Knocking on doors...

    Taxidermist to fix mtn goat.

    I will second that. He was second on my list and I would have used him, but Monarch was a little closer.

    Montana snow?

    True. What a difference from last year. I went for a hike today and was in a T-shirt. Would have been a great year to have a Mountain Goat tag.

    Taxidermist to fix mtn goat.

    How did he get the hide back so quickly? Does he tan them himself? I don't know man, I think there is something weird going on with that mount. You clearly shot a mature billy and to me it looks like he used the wrong form or something. The spacing of his horns looks off in relation to his...

    Taxidermist to fix mtn goat.

    Hmmm. Yeah. If the goat was shot in August then there is some weirdness happening.

    Taxidermist to fix mtn goat.

    Holy cow. That is far too nice of a billy to be treated that way. Was that actually the finished product? I can't imagine the lips still being pinned like that, and the eyes and ears appear to be fu-bar'd. Monarch taxidermy did my goat (life size) and I couldn't be happier with how mine...

    2025 Montana Elk Outfitters & Guides Recommendations

    I would stay on private land if at all possible. Hammer em sounds good. You literally can't drive by that ranch and not see elk. Like anything, there are some asshats out there, and good dudes too in the outfitter world. Not sure what your budget is, but there are some outfitters in the...

    Hammer bullet shooters, how do you deal with BC?

    Correct. I think one often overlooked factor on drops is also wind. The wind direction as it relates to the target bearing can have much more impact on your drops than most people account for I think. This is where I see the biggest differences in Hammer Bullets vs a bullet that has a higher...

    Hammer bullet shooters, how do you deal with BC?

    This has been my experience as well. I love these bullets, they shoot well out of every gun I own. They just are limited by their BC. I bit the bullet the other day(*Pardon the pun) and "sacrificed" basically an entire box of 124HH out of my 6.5 PRC. I made it a point to shoot at ranges...

    Huge shout-out to Schnees

    The Schnees guys are awesome to deal with. I really want to wear their boots, but they just don't work for me. None the less, if they do, they are a good company and have a solid ownership team.

    Kenetrek Mountain Extreme initial review

    My Mtn Extremes are amazing, my favorite boot. Mine were comfortable even through break in, now they fit like a glove. A couple of things: 1. Try wearing Leukotape blister tape prophylactically while you are breaking them in. Sold on Amazon. 2. Try using your google fu to look up the "heel...

    Biggest bull killed this year!

    A great bull. I saw it before it hit the innerwebs. I don't have bookface or a #hashbrown acct, but it's funny to see the texts roll in with that bulls pic and then all the speculation of the location. There has been quite a few big bulls killed this year. I know a few guys that have arrowed...
