    Sheep steaks are awesome

    I've been very pleased with the sheep meat from my DBHS. Some of the cuts are a little chewy, but the flavor is excellent! Cooked up some backstrap with sautéed onions and mushrooms last week. Everyone agreed it was excellent.

    Favorite Sheep Caliber

    I was surprised after my sheep hunt how thin skinned sheep are. Any rifle/bullet combo capable of taking down an antelope or deer would suffice. My 300WM was definitely overkill.

    Montana Big Game Combo Hunt- Is it feasible?

    Not necessarily easy, but doable. I did it on an archery hunt a number of years ago. In 2022, I managed to get a deer, but not a bull on the combo. If you can afford it, I say go for it.

    Single person tent vs 8 man

    I used a Kifaru 8-man tipi for over 10 years. Loved that tent! But the biggest issue with it is finding a flat area large enough to set it up, especially if you packing in off the beaten path. It can take some creative campsite selection to find a spot that all of you can sleep on a flat area...

    Quad vs Side by Side

    I have both. Bought the SxS two years ago when my daughter was born. Now I don't use the quad anymore. We love going out as a family in the SxS and it's a much smoother ride than any other vehicle I've owned on rough dirt roads and trails. Saves a lot of wear and tear on my truck.

    Stranded after fly-in hunt prior to winter…

    I was working in AK on 9/11. It was almost a week before any planes were allowed to fly in and pick up clients. And the weather was clear and sunny for the most part. Lots of pretty crazy stories of groups wondering what happened and if they were forgotten. Not everyone had satellite phones...

    Gear I Can't Live Without.

    Two things - First is the glassing pad. I use a half a thermarest z-rest. Folds up small and it is a luxury for long glassing sessions. Sencond - the cord/stake combo for helping guy out legs/quarters while breaking down an elk by myself.

    AR hunters

    I have an AR in 308 I built up. Killed a number of pigs with it. And my buddies kid used it for his first elk. It’s a little on the heavy side for packing around on an elk hunt all day, but the minimal recoil was ideal for the kids first big game hunt.

    Early season Mule Deer

    Pathfinder has some spot on info for you. Areas I hunt in the early season often seem like perfect habitat, but the deer are absent sometimes. Once I locate a group or two, I watch and look at what they are eating. If I can find more of that type of feed, I am often in deer more consistently...

    Affordable cooler for a boned out elk?

    Coleman 120-150 quart coolers. They are the least expensive for the size. Can easily fit the meat from a bull and some frozen water jugs in two coolers.

    How many inReach Units are needed for a group of hunters?

    A couple hundred bucks to have the piece of mind to know that help will arrive a little sooner if absolutely necessary is well worth it to me. And I’m happy to share my contact info with partners family, but I also want to have my own with me just in case I need it. I’ve only had to have a...

    New sheep hunter

    Congrats on drawing a tag. That’s awesome! Enjoy the process because the opportunities are few and far between.

    AZ Pt question

    Logging into his account would be too easy... But he is also from MT where you can buy a point at time of application for that years draw, so I could see how it might be confusing for some. All I can add is make sure you know what your totals really are and hope AZ doesn't mess up against...

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    You still have to answer the questions truthfully when they ask you for selection. I would not lie to get on a jury, and I would not lie to get off a jury either. It's part of the process and I have been through it 5 times. Twice I was selected, three times I was disqualified for various...

    As a Juror, would you vote to convict someone that killed a wolf?

    I also wouldn't make it past the jury selection questions to get on the jury in the first place. I've sat on jury's in the past and been through the questioning a few times. I'm sure that the prosecution would not want me on the jury.

    MT was good to me!

    Great bull! Congrats.

    Furthest you’ve hiked?

    Your canyon only applies to the training. For the actual hunt it has to be at least 16 miles at 16k feet!

    Bear Recipes

    I like taking cubed chunks and making either a stew or chili. Use a pressure cooker to cook the meat in a beef broth for 45 minutes. Then I add the other items, recipe is constantly changing depending what I have in the garden or cupboard. Most people I feed it to have no idea that they are...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    I have a GP100 that I like as well. Shoots the magnum loads a little easier but not able to conceal like the SP101. One thing I like about the revolver is that it won't jam. I have been down the capacity argument with a lot of people, and it really comes down to the fact that you'll probably...
