    MT Alternate List

    For the big game combo I went from 489 as I recall to 138 the last I looked. I would still like the deer tag, but it is getting late for Montana elk for me. I would probably decline if my number comes up.

    E Bikes, the new motorized access scourge?

    I am 69 years old and still get around well in the woods. I saw the opposite of what your thinking. In Montana on National Forest near Dillon all e bikes were clearly illegal. Older folks myself included played by the rules, but younger people (frequently in poor physical condition) were...

    What was the best thing you ate in Elk Camp this year?

    Fresh young of the year wild turkey arrowed while elk hunting solo in eastern Oregon.

    MT Alternate List

    8-17 For the big game combo just moved up to 238 (a gain of 28), and more than halfway there from where I started at 489. I usually bow hunt elk but could also rifle hunt so am hoping I get called up by rifle elk season.

    Blood pressure meds

    I have been on BP meds for the last few decades. I took Metatoprol a beta blocker for years. It lowered BP but started to cause tiredness, and my pulse went down to 38-50 beats per minute which is low and may have been causing the tiredness. The doc switched me to another beta blocker...

    MT Alternate List

    I am 489 on the big game combo. I would think I am out of luck but could still have my name come up late. The problem is I archery hunt elk in September and hunt deer in November. Could I only get the deer half of the big game combo? I would assume all or none.

    Wyoming Taskforce - Comment Period

    As a non-resident who might hunt Wyoming, my feelings are the state wants me to pay as much as possible while harvesting as little big game as possible. Any thoughts I provide to the state can and will be used to my disadvantage, not to my benefit. The idea that it "never hurts to speak...

    Montana B Tag Draw

    That is the same message I got. I am overdue to draw something. Hoping for a doe tag with outside chance of a cow elk or antelope tag.

    Montana refund question

    I did not get mine in Oregon yet. Tomorow, I am hoping. To show what a basket case I am I just sent them another 630 bucks to apply for antelope, along with a cow elk B tag, and a mule deer doe tag.

    What’s Your Max Bow Range for Elk?

    I have hunted elk with a bow for 45 years in multiple states in a variety of situation. I have shot several elk between 60 and 65 yards with solid broadside double lung hits and quick recovery. Most of these shots were roosevelt cow elk shot as they grazed in a pasture. Plenty of time to range...

    Good news for Ebiker users on public land.

    Great post. Two things happen with expanded use of motorized vehicles including e bikes. Animlas are more vulnerable to hunters and are negatively impacted by the disturbance. The net effect is reduced hunting opportunity. That is a certainty.

    How much wildgame does your family eat?

    We eat wild game or fish probably six days a week. For game usually one elk and a couple deer, along with perhaps 50 game birds mostly chukars. Fish wise I live on the Oregon Coast with an ocean going boat so I catch all the lingcod and rockfish I want plus lots of salmon, halibut, albacore...

    Official Montana 2022 draw thread!

    I purchased a preference point so I have a total of one. I applied for the big game combo with my target on next year, or even the year after. I am planning this year's hunts on the assumption I will not draw Montana so it would actually be a bit distressing with hunt re scheduling if I did.

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    Non resident hunters need to play the race card and take this to court. Montana and Wyoming each have about 1 % African Americans while the USA overall is about 13 %. New laws that discriminate against non resident hunters in favor of resident in these two states clearly have a racial bias...

    What is your every day carry knife and why? Does nostalgia supersede function?

    Leatherman multi tool of some sort. The pliers, screwdrivers, etc,. get used as often as the knife blade.

    Wyoming 90/10 task force!

    What is needed is a Federal Land exemption. Federal land grows animals that need to be distributed equitably to all people who own the land, not just selfish state residents. I know under current doctrine, states own and manage wildlife, but that can be reinterpreted.

    Tikka T3 too light

    About ten years ago, I gave the question of recoil from a Tikka lightweight a lot of thought and settled on a 270 WSM. Good choice for me as the recoil is Ok and it shoots great with adequate long range power. I use a limbsaver for targets off a bench with a gun case draped over my shoulder...

    $144 sale for Burris Fullfield II still on at Cameraland

    I bought two at $ 125 each. I have this scope on my primary rifle a Tikka 270 WSM that performs excellent on deer, elk and antelope out to about 450 Yds. However, I am running out of ammo for this gun and can't find any more. Since I can't find 270 WSM ammo, I got my older Rem. 700 in 270...

    Kodiak canvas beware

    I have used my Kodiak tent for maybe 250 nights including strong winds and heavy snow. No problems. I am very impressed with how durable my Kodiak is.
