    Have you ever seen a wolverine in the Lower 48?

    Saw one in the North Cascades, saw tracks of one this fall here in Montana.

    Camp road water bars & snow plowing?

    I wouldn’t waste money with water bars. You can slope it for the easiest fix, imo, the best long term fix would be to crown it, do a little ditching and install some culverts where needed.

    With the mild weather this year, grizzlies will be out into December.

    Mile High Outfitters Frank Church

    I guided for them a couple of years, Travis is a great guy, it sounds like his boys have grown up and work in the business now too. Fun country to hunt, not always the best trophy potential, but a good outfitter to go with.

    Burris Optics Lifetime Warranty Experience

    I had a similar experience, never have been overly impressed with the optical quality, but their customer service is excellent.

    New Research for CO Wolf release locations

    To be fair- they are being forced to shove it down peoples throats. Seems like CPW isn't thrilled about the situation either.

    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    That’s not too hard, I often hit 12-16/day durning bow season. Hell, I hit 13 this week with a hunter I was guiding, and he was not in shape.

    Odds of killing a wolf

    It’s a time game in my opinion. I have a few buddies that have it dialed, but they spend an incredible amount of time on it. I personally have spent hundreds of days guiding and hunting in Idaho and Montana, and have only been on two wolf kills. There was a third opportunity, but was clearing...

    Gov Shutdown: Wisconsin DIY Public Land Archery Hunt

    I would look at farther north, for a more enjoyable experience. Might not be what you quite picture for Midwest whitetail, but I think it would be a lot more fun. I lived over there for a few years after growing up out west, the southern WI/MN thing didn’t do it for me. I loved being up north...

    Wyoming Region G - Star Valley Outfitters

    I'm confused, you wouldn't use this outfitter, but not because of the guides or tough hunting? What was the issue?

    Boone & Crockett research

    I know of some B&C bucks here in MT that have not been entered. I know some good big buck hunters, and bull hunters who would never enter an animal. I personally never would enter anything in either, I don’t want my damn name in a record book. Seems like what once was a good research tool has...

    Livingston Montana Emergency

    Can't help with living, but if he needs a job to get by, I could get him one up here in Helena, at least until the snow flies. Shoot me a PM if you would like.

    How often does everyone upgrade their packs?

    I’ve had my Mystery Ranch, that I still use for day hunts, hiking, and guiding since 2012. I bet I have 800+ days using it with all the guiding time. I still use it often. I have a Seek Outside I use now for all my backpacking, and backpack hunting. I would guess I have 100ish days using it...

    Kuiu durability

    I've had pretty good luck, aside from gaiters. I like their gaiters, but they don't seem to hold up well for me, that being said, they have had great customer service in replacing them no questions asked. Their merino doesn't have a ton of life to it, but I haven't had any merino from any...

    Lodge pole instead of aluminum pole

    Easy to do. Easiest way I have found is to have a piece of paracord that you cut to the length you need the pole, to be able to measure as you cut in the field. One plus is the ability to keep some short branches on it for hanging gear, just need to be careful not to rip the tipi with the...

    2023 Bob Marshall Wilderness Open * Updated with report & pics*

    These are all designated trails by the FS. Many of these trails are cleared by trail crews every year, though in wilderness areas it must be done by hand tools (no chainsaw). Because of how much work this is, and lack of funding, more and more wilderness trails are not cleared every year...

    Seek Outside- Why not?

    I use my Seek Outside for all my backpacking and backpack style hunts. Their packs are great, lightweight, and handle loads well. I will say they are fairly "simple." My pack only has the one main compartment, plus I added a lid and a pocket on the belt. They also seem to be a little more...

    Canadian wildfires

    That biggest fire last year started from a FS controlled burn that got away from them.
