The good horse breeders put a lot of thought, time, and energy into their animals. It shouldn’t be something that is taken lightly. Good stallions of quality will cost you in the mid five figures to buy for your program. Great breeders won’t skimp out on their mares either. Most build their...
Following this thread because this is something I’m interested in also. My kiddo is 2 years old so i got lots of time

Just like buying optics, the bigger the budget the more quality your saddles going to be
You’ll spend more money on saddles that are tooled to the 9’s also. Full suede will be more affordable but probably not the route you want to go if your going to be in wet weather
Lots of real working...
The new rules really makes people commit to a district but it does have its positives and negatives. One negative that has effected me is putting in for archery tag in the breaks hunting it for a week or two and then the rest of the archery season hunting locally in western Montana. Don’t get...
Take the time like your planning on doing to learn how to pack but do not overlook the horsemanship portion either. In my opinion you need to focus your efforts on learning to ride and handle a horse and the packing and backcountry riding will come. If your family is into horses it will be...
This right here
Practiced all the time 1500+
I like my hunting range to be below 900 yards but would consider a bit more. Husband made a 1400 yard shot on a elk a few years back and that situation was as good as it was going to get so he made it work beautifully
Although, If i had to make an...
Horse market crazy right now. Lots of ‘trail’ horses bringing performance horse prices at auction
Not saying you can’t find a needle in a haystack but today’s market definitely makes it a lot harder to do so

Almost did once in 2015 or 2016, hiked in on some elk and set up for the shot to see that moisture had formed on the inside of the scope. The scope did hold zero just fine and ended up harvesting one. Was a long shot can’t remember how long but was inbetween 600-900 yards. Scope was a first...
I’ll offer my two cents after starting this thread awhile back
I had a hard time stomaching the cost also but let me tell you it’s well worth it. Everyone’s thoughts and opinions were very helpful and i decided to purchase Cutco knives. They had a couple knife packages you could purchase with...
I have a Christensen arms BA Tactical 338 Lapua mag. Its great gun, Taken lots of elk with it. It’s pictured with a Burris XTR ii but have since traded that out for a night force NX8. Running the 300grain OTM Bergers out of it

Costco has gun safes we went that route when we wanted a 50 gun safe. However i will say the finish on the inside is subpar, it wasn’t our intention for it to be fancy long as it was big enough for our needs. And the price was better than some other ones we looked at.

Husband was like #11,800 something. He had the ability to run down to the local store in Montana and just buy the tag. I sat in the que on the computer to see how long it took for the unit he wanted sold out. If he had to rely on just the online portal he would of missed out on the tag. They had...
Sounds like a lot of us are very confused by the lack of clarity on Montana’s muzzleloader season. The other surrounding western states have very clear rules, don’t understand why whoever wrote the MT law had to make this so complicated. I’m also excited for the new season but also have a hard...
We had a Polaris general 4 seater and while it was great for hunting. The interior cab was really loud and It lacked a lot of power when loaded down and had constant clutch problems. Never could get the clutching right whether it was stock or after market. That was a huge pain
If i were to do...
All of this right here!
The world is in need of more cdl drivers although i don’t think i would want to own my own micro fleet. My husband loves negotiating for a little bit of weekend spending cash with the truck drivers that show up after hours and don’t want to sit all weekend to be...
14 month old boy here. Husband and I used to hunt 60 ish days a year. He got out for 14 days last year and me only about 5
This year i might get out for about the same and he might for 9 total. Not going to lie part of my soul aches too
