    Stories of calling in your first elk success or not?

    What an awesome story, I’m sure that hunt will stick with your son for the rest of his life! You can’t beat coming out with sore legs, big smiles, and a truck full of meat.. not to mention the victory of calling one in!

    Stories of calling in your first elk success or not?

    As season is already here for some and soon approaching for others I figured it’d be a good time to start a thread like this. Do you remember the first time an elk responded to you? Did you find success in calling it in? Did you close the deal? What did you learn from it?

    Meat care on warm hunts

    Going to be hunting the breaks with my brother the last week in September. We will have 10 days to get two tags filled. If we are fortunate enough to harvest two elk we will need to figure out a good strategy for keeping the meat in the best condition possible. Is dry ice better than frozen milk...

    Congrats. Do you live close to 410? I’d really like to take a weekend a few months before season to go up and scout the area. Check the boat ramps and just get a better idea of the area.

    Montana Drawing Success

    The snakes are my biggest concern haha I’ve heard prairie rattlers are the most toxic but I’ve also heard that 85% of the time when they bite they don’t actually release venom. I will be bringing a decoy along, would I guy be fine using 10-42 on a tripod or is a spotter necessary? I’ve heard...

    Montana Drawing Success

    My Brother and I drew the 410-21 tag and now is where I begin planning... We've never hunted the breaks but are prepared to have plenty of other hunters around as well as bugs and the chance of gumbo. With that being said, we plan on going either Sept. 21st-30th or the 28th-7th. There's a few...

    NW Montana Elk in Sactuary Mode

    We've all heard it. When the rut is done the bulls go for a run to "sactuary." Well it's that time where all the bulls are in sanctuary mode tucked up in thick timber or rugged terrain that is hard to access. I live here in NW Montana and if any of you know, it is stuffed thick with trees about...
