In Virginia City I spoke to a forestry pilot. He told me that in one day this spring he seen 30 grizzlies out in the open fields of the Gravely Mountains while out flying around.
My old Sako L61 four digit serial number in 264 Win Mag. It has the 26” barrel. Scare as a hens tooth. I traded for it a few years ago. It was never fired but had sat in a safe since the early 60’s.
It’s my go to deer rifle and was the rifle I shot the bull elk with right before my heart stopped...
I really like Clay Newcomb. I’ve been following him for a few years on YouTube. If you get a chance watch his YouTube videos. He’s a mule man, squirrel hunter and owns the Bear Hunting magazine.
I’ve listened to his podcast while traveling. He’s a well spoken man.
As someone mentioned Meateater...
Awesome job Sis! As a former LEO tell her I’m sorry for her loss. It’s sad when you give the best years of your life to the job and don’t get to enjoy retirement.
Hahahaha I’m not laughing at you but with you. I have two daughters. One is 35 and the other is 31.
The 35 was bossy, back talked, stand offish, smarter than a whip, quick witted, aggressive and had a desire to succeed. This was when she as 2.5 now she’s a lawyer.
The 31 was kind, gentle, wanted...
I read the thread from 2019 on Best Rewards for Credit Card. Since 2019 has anyone come up with a better CC? I have the Cabelas CC and it’s going bye bye.
I’m also interested in the best fuel CC.
My wife and I just returned home from Montana and come to conclusion that we need a fuel card to...
I hunt WT with a hinge but just never wanted to for elk. I think how many times I get ready to shoot in September at oncoming elk and have the bow up ready to draw or at full draw and not have a good shot only to let down or lower the bow.
I’ll stick with the caliper release. Now sitting on a...
I was once dispatched to a tree stand incident to assist EMS. I arrived before them.
I was shown where the guy was by another hunter.
Turns out a guy climbed up a permanent deer stand and was pulling his old Hawkins muzzleloader up with a piece of rope. He had tied the rope around the muzzle and...
I was wearing my Sitka outfit. Not once was I cold or wet. This was on opening day of elk rifle in 2019 when the blizzard hit and dumped a lot of snow. It was perfect weather for hunting.
I was not only excited for shooting my first bull but a really nice bull. But after being a LEO for nearly...
I got a friend who has a cabin near Ruby Reservoir. He has killed many bears. He told me that he thought the grizzly had pushed the blacks out. He has killed bear where I hunted as I have.
He had killed a ancient old black near Kalispell this year a few weeks before I got out there.
He was...
Texasbuckeye a short time before I shot the elk I drank a serving of Mountain Ops Ignite. I had not read the label. I believe the caffeine and? got my heart racing. In 2017 I had a heart attack while racing a bicycle. As a result of the heart attack I had PVC’s. Between the Mountain Ops and the...
So my wife and I headed west on June 4. We had our camper in tow and got out to south west Montana a couple days later. Normally I would not give my location of the hunt but since it was saturated with grizzly bears I’m giving a heads up. We were hunting the southern tip of the Gravelys.
We...
