    Remington Filing for Bankruptcy?

    I have always wanted a 700, due to the action, and the proud American legacy, but have always steered clear of them d/t better performance of competition. You can simply get more reliability for less. I may be talking uninformed, but it doesn't sound like its as consistent a sub moa shooter as...

    Arrow failure

    I have some arrows I have shot hundreds of times over. Rarely if ever do I check them for structural integrity. I think now Ill have to get in the habit of checking them after each shot. Sucks it happened, but thanks for posting. I feel like I learned a good lesson here.

    Eastern Montana Mule Deer Hunt Father/Son

    I hunt the Custer. The country is variable. Where I hunt, the farthest I can get from a road is 1-1.5 miles, and it is relatively flat. I hunt mostly mule deer does for meat. With the amount of doe tags available, and the amount of MD does you see, you can fill a freezer fairly quick. I hunt the...

    Garmin Xero Bow Sights

    Ryan, Feel free to remove my post, it seems to have offended some. Part of why I like this site is because it allows for growth and is moderated well. The comments were not aimed to anyone specific. I will refrain from sharing potentially controversial opinions in the future. Sorry for rubbing...

    Garmin Xero Bow Sights

    It sounds as though my perspective is different from most. I got into hunting initially d/t my love of archery as a kid. I shot my first game animal/deer with a bow.. I'm not stating this to prove anything, only to establish that I see archery as separate and as important as hunting itself. It...

    Garmin Xero Bow Sights

    The essence of archery is that it's a discipline that requires practice and skill to be proficient. It seems that this sight attempts to reduce the effort to the point that one hardly needs to practice, or have discipline to gain proficiency. A stick bow is the ultimate, and with my love of...

    Colorado elk hunting and gaiters

    Have a pair of Sitka Gaitors. During archery season, I took them off after the first day d/t weight and the fatigue difference that could be felt. I have considered the short simple gators for archery simply to keep my high dollar pants from becoming thrashed. I have corrugate guide pants from...

    Am I misguided? MT non-resident tag cost.

    I am a resident of Montana. When I initially went to college here years ago, it become apparent that many things in Montana are special in part due to a hesitation to cheapen things for non-residents. And it even seems Montana tries to protect opportunities for residents, in part by high...

    2018 OTC archery area help

    Don't do what I have done, which is spending time in too many spots. Pick one or two and become intimate with it. Learn it. There are elk where seemingly it appears there are none. I am always convinced there is a better spot just over the next ridge, or range. I feel like I blew my first year...

    MT group application-- partial bonus points

    Good question, but I imagine, that like you said you will have .67 points. It has to be computed mathematically within the pool of applicants. This will be better than having 0 points. Are you applying for the general tag, or a special drawing. I have points in MT, and my brothers have none, so...

    Garmin Xero Bow Sights

    Hate to bust your bubble, but thats not bow hunting. Might as well use a cross bow. I have a certain pride in being a skilled archer that can estimate ranges and have enough knowledge of my bow to know what pin to use. This seems like an attempt to appeal to hunters that want to expend their...

    Hunting and Cabins around Flathead Lake area

    Just know that many people who live in Flathead Valley travel to different parts of the state for better hunting opportunities, particularly elk. Bear and deer are not too hard to come by, but many find a 3-5 hour drive for elk hunting a good investment of their time. I hope i am not bumming you...

    Bear hunting over gut piles

    Shot my elk. We sat and waited for 2 hours to ensure the elk was dead. Tracked and located the elk 150 yards from where we were waiting. When we got there a black bear was on it. The bear ate the balls and tail off of my elk, and was going in through the rear. This wasnt just the situation for...

    Inquiry about finding elk in heavy bear and wolf area.

    I have been scouting a place near Montana/Idaho boarder over the last couple weeks. So far it appears that there is a lot of bear and wolf sign, including tracks and scat. I have not found much in the way of elk or deer droppings. The game cams I had set out for a couple weeks have shown bear...
