    Cut While Butchering--Reason to Worry?

    Not too much reason to worry. Just watch for infection. There are transmissible diseases and bacteria from the animals we hunt, but it's a very low chance. Wearing gloves is still a good idea.

    Montana Tagging

    There will always be a paper version, albeit simple copy paper. You don't need service in the field to validate your e-tag using the app. It is also your responsibility to keep that paper tag safe, dry, and readable should a warden ask to see it. The baggie approach is probably best if you...

    Gen 1. I've used it 3 seasons now. Will include the pack mount and dash mount. I'll handle the USPS Flatrate shipping. You will need to activate it and get a subscription, of course.

    Platypus 3L Bladder Doesn't Stay Hung in Pack!

    Near 5 years of using one, I've not had that issue. Might be worth just replacing it. Of course, a bit of duct tape could work, but I get something should work as intended.

    Best euro mount hanger for elk?

    I use a 4" eye hook, toggle bolt anchor, and hook in the wall. Whole setup is 70 cents at Ace. Get a brass hook if you want to dress it up. I can't justify $10+ for each euro on the wall.

    Zoleo Vs Garmin

    I used the InReach Mini for a handful of years, and now the Zoleo. My recommendation is the Zoleo. Both operate on the same Iridium system. The Mini has the screen built in, so if your phone goes down you can still use it to 2-way text. But the app, ease of use, speed of messages in and out...

    Wyoming antelope doe

    I second the euro with a nice doe. You can find some dandies, 4" range. Make sure you can identify a young buck from a doe, look for the black cheek mark as the WY Regs state. Otherwise, you should have no issues putting boots on the ground and making a good stalk and shot. Just get out there.

    If you could only give one piece of advice to a new elk hunter, what would it be?

    The more time in the field, the more success you'll find. This seems like a no brainer, but its more than just having more time to see elk. Its learning your gear and how it fits/works, its finding and learning to read sign, recognizing your limitations, experiencing weather patterns, becoming...

    DIY Resources

    Find a mentor. Someone who is willing to help you and be patient with your questions. You're right in "you don't know what you don't know." A mentor will be able to point out those things that you wouldn't even know you missed.

    Meet Freyja, My Peregrine Falcon

    A pre-2022 Season Update: Freyja is just about to turn one and head into her first season of hunting. Last year we didn't get into flying/hunting as I didn't really want to rush it with her. She was an expensive bird and one I plan to have for a long time. Falcons begin their molt in late...

    Antelope with a Muzzleloader

    What's your twist rate? I took my first antelope with a ML, a Lyman Great Plains Rifle 50cal cap, in ID last year. I used Hornady Great Plains 385gr. I am 3MOA or less at 100yds, which is my range for the gun. My tactics were using the terrain, anticipating the movement of the antelope, and...

    Non-big game bucket list hunts

    I was pretty far into my planning on this one, even putting down some deposits. Then CITES poked its head up. Can't bring them into the states, so I cancelled until I can do a muskox/reindeer hunt over there. But I agree, a cool hunt and bird.

    Spot GPS

    I used a spot for many years, switched to the Mini when they came out. Hands down better. Better service, better interface, more usability.

    Advice for beginner

    Find a local mentor you can learn from. There really isn't any replacement for experience, whether it be your own, hard won in the mountains, or someone else's that you glean from. The First Hunt Foundation can help pair you up with someone.
