    Good news for Ebiker users on public land.

    You are correct. Riding my horse in 15 miles is much less physically demanding than me hiking 15 miles in. Not to answer for Wyobohunter, but I assume he’s talking about the workload it takes to be at the point of riding your horse in 15 miles. Not to mention the extra work it takes at camp...

    Custom saddles

    I’ll chime in as the greenhorn on this thread. I only have two horses, and been riding since 2019. Since I live in North Central Texas I don’t get them into the mountains except once or twice a year on hunting trips. I prefer to ride with my regular bell stirrups. But when I do take my horses...

    Avian Flu Outbreak????

    I am not a licensed veterinarian, so I won’t make any 100% definitive statements. I train Raptor‘s for a living and I’m currently working in the poultry industry to keep migratory waterfowl away from poultry production farms using trained falcons. Everything I’ve been told by veterinarians says...

    Avian Flu Outbreak????

    The issue is High path avian influenza (HPAI). HPAI is a highly contagious influenza that kills most species of birds outside of waterfowl. Waterfowl, ducks and geese, can carry HPAI yet and it generally does not kill them. But because it kills every other bird that contracts HPAI it is a big...

    Out of state horseback riding in Wyoming

    I’m not an expert. But I have brought my horses to WY a few times for elk hunts. Negative coggins. Health certificate issued less than 30 days before travel (I think there is a new longer term health certificate available that lasts 3 months or so). You will need brand inspection paperwork in...

    Ultralight horse packing

    I'll give my very limited experience from someone who just did what you are thinking of doing. I got my first 2 horses 1.5 years ago. I've done a few hunting trips with them in WY and CO. 2 vs 3 is a personal/financial decision. It works with 2. 3 would be easier in alot of aspects. Looking at 2...

    How to hunt with horses?

    I appreciate the input on many ways to use them. I am starting to lean more towards a base camp at the truck with a nice tent, good food, ect. Riding the horses in/out each day to hunt. It's amazing how quickly you can cover 3-5 miles with them and start out hiking with fresh legs. I'll post...

    How to hunt with horses?

    Don't worry if I tried to leave one of my horses at camp and rode the other out, the entire mountain would hear about it LOL. I didn't realize buddy sour was such a big deal until we got 2 horses. There like Mike and Ike and never far from each other. I am using a proper pack saddle now. After...

    How to hunt with horses?

    Hi Deadfall, I appreciate the insights! I am learning a lot as I go. Took them up to Colorado for ML season elk this year. Spent 11 nights on the mountain scouting/hunting. I’ve got the basic maintenance pretty well sorted out. I prefer to highline spike camping and during the day base camping...

    Garmin Alpha Worth it?

I have the Garmin Alpha 100 system with 2 collars. Started with a Sport Pro with single collar. I bought the Alpha system 2 years...

    Bugle report

    In SW Colorado with a ML tag right now. Been camped up on the mountain for the last 10 days. Came to town to get a shower today. I have heard 1 bull bugle so far in 10 days. He bugled 6-8 times between 8-9am Sunday morning. Other than that total silence. Watched a group of 6 cows, 2 calves, 1...

    Prepurchase Exams

    This is a great question. And thanks to Ray for bringing up first aid kits. I carry some basics. Vet wrap, wound tape, gauze, Neosporin, Bute paste, Banamine for colic, Dormosedan gel oral sedative. If there are any other glaring first aid needs I'm missing I would be happy to learn about them...

    Prepurchase Exams

    Very rarely do I comment as I feel I don’t know enough to add anything to most of the stock conversations. But I do read all of the posts on here and pick up lots of new tips from all the experienced guys on here. This is a topic I can actually comment on from personal experience and as a new to...

    Falconry in my area?

    Hi Josh, There are a handful of falconers in Montana, and a few around the Great Falls area. The Montana Falconers Association Summer Picnic is coming up later this month or early August. That would be your best chance at meeting local falconers in person and getting to know them. Picking a...
