    WTB Rangefinder

    These typically had 100yd range max? Looking for something with a bit more range in case he takes up rifle hunting as well. Thanks. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    WTB Rangefinder

    Looking for a rangefinder with angle compensation for my 13 y/o son. Nothing too high end. Anyone got one they are looking to upgrade before I buy new? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    WTT Outdoorsman Bino Adapter - Tall for Short

    I have a tall outdoorsman bino adapter. Bought the tall thinking I'd eventually get some bigger glass (15x56 binos) that would necessitate the talls. Instead, I went with a spotter so I don't foresee getting bigger binos. Not looking to sell and take a loss only to have to buy a short...

    100% agree on the bow hunt. I much prefer the stick and bow. The rifle hunt was a compromise and probably a good choice for our first venture out west. If this year ends up being a solo adventure, I'll likely be going with the bow in September. Thanks for the congrats. [emoji106] Sent from my...

    Thanks for the feedback. I've actually already procured some new line from Lawson to take with me next trip. Was planning to use pct method to get the meat up high. I'll test out a few 70lb bags here to see if it's going to work. May need to resort to the carbineer example you provided. Thanks...

    I did this one night boiling some creek water. Used the fire vs fuel. That's a benefit of taking a pot vs a jet boil type cookset. Should have done this more often. Didn't really come upon this idea until later in the trip. Thanks for sharing though. I'm sure someone else will benefit from the...

    Edited the posts and removed the units. Not trying to put anyone's panties in a bind. The reason I did the write up was to educate and to fill a void in the information on the internet. I wasn't divulging honey holes. These units are big. Lots of room to get away from each other. Any Tom, Dick...

    Conclusion and casting call…lots to read here. I felt like we fumbled and bumbled through the entire hunt. We hit the perfect storm of weather in Montana for an opening weekend rifle hunt. We got punched in the mouth by cold and snow. Had several near misses on the highways (apparently Montana...

    Benz's 2020 Montana Elk Adventure (detailed)

    Upon arrival, one of the guys in our party that traveled on horseback with the packout service said “we have a little problem. The grizz got ½ the elk.” Turns out they found one of our caches and decided they needed it more than we did. Fortunately, our foresight to separate the meat paid off as...

    The next morning, the hunting partners decided they wanted to head back closer to the truck if possible. The hunt wasn’t quite over but the realization that we had a long long trek back to the truck with an elk made us realize we probably didn’t want to have to haul 2 elk back to the truck. So...

    The shot was a little back vs. where I remembered lining up the reticle. I attribute this to him walking. There’s no way I was going to try to stop him for a still shot. Either way, the 165gr AB did the job. It clearly went into his vitals and it did not make it through to the other leg. He...

    We climbed down from our shooting nest to the bottom of the snow shoot. This appears to be the easiest path to the elk. We make slow progress up the snow shoot and get into the trees where the elk were bedded. We can really smell them now. There are lots of rubs in the area as well. We hike to...

    The next morning, we woke, water bottles still frozen. This was the worst part of the trip. Trying to stay hydrated while our water kept freezing. We put together a couple game plans to hunt that day and set off. My partner and I started off tracking along a creek bottom making our way towards a...
