    2020 Upland Season

    The wind was brutal where I was at in Montana, once the wind died down we got into some good numbers. Ended up with a grouse and dove limit and 11 partridge.

    Havalon replacement blades??

    I have found the 60A blades are fairly tough, still you have to use common sense. On deer and antelope all I use is the havalon, on elk I have had better luck using a stiff fixed blade for the cutting the hide around the neck and separating the hind quarters. I can usually pack out a deer with...

    Havalon replacement blades??

    I would second this recommendation, they are considerably stronger than the 60XT. I still use the 60XT for filleting fish since the edge seems a little sharper but for big game the 60A is perfect.

    2020 Montana Spring Bear

    Yeah the amount of hikers/backpack campers has been extremely high. My normal spots have people everywhere doing day hikes so I have had to switch to areas with few trailheads and go off trail.

    2020 Montana Spring Bear

    Things are starting to green up in the Beartooth where I hunt but still a lot of snow. I did spot this blonde last week but it was too far away to go after. I’m heading back out Thursday to chase them again.

    Beginner Looking for Tips

    Like several others have said, getting into shape is one of the biggest challenges. Also quality optics make a huge difference. Overall elk hunting is really hard work and experience is the best teacher but resources like Randy Newberg's podcast have tremendous value.

    Trekking poles

    I use Black Diamond Carbon Corks and use the rubber tip the majority of the time and have not had any issues gripping rocks, if I am walking in blow downs or on ice I remove the caps and use the carbon tips.

    Average shot distance on pronghorn.

    I have shot several in Montana and Wyoming ranging from 60-420 yards with a rifle. Early season getting within 250 yards is usually not very difficult. In Montana the middle of the season they get very jumpy and I have to rely heavily on waiting them out and using the terrain to my advantage.

    MT Bear hunt

    I would agree with the advice above, I bear hunt region 5 each spring and have never had any luck before May. I was out this weekend scouting and there is still alot of snow.
