    Any feedback on Fort Carson Hunting/Shooting?

    Nothing current, but when I hunted turkey and coyote down range in the early 90s I saw some very good muleys and elk and decent antelope. Got transferred elsewhere before I could draw a tag. Good luck.

    Great Falls, Montana - what to do there?

    Fishing on the Missouri. Hiking in the Highwoods and Little Belts. Breweries. Museums. Rivers Edge Trail. White Sulphur Springs. And wind. Lots of it. All a man could ever ask for and more. Keeps the air fresh, though.

    How to make a shelf for pack?

    Have you looked at the Exo Load Crib? It might work on a CT frame. Buckles may need to be replaced with ITW Fastex hardware and some webbing to attach them to the frame, but it's probably doable.

    Recommend a stretchy and durable fabric for water bottle pockets

    This stuff is similar to the stretch pockets on the Exo bags. Maybe a little lighter, but hard to tell just by feel. https://www.wtfidea.com/tweave-520e-durastretch-nylon-fabric-53-55-134cm-140cm-wide-per-yard/

    2022 Turkey Season

    Finally got my first on Saturday. Four feet of snow in mid April took a big chunk out of the season, but things worked out in the end.

    Best Air Rifle for Prairie Dogs

    Have you considered 22 Shorts? I don't know much about air guns, but 22 Shorts seem like a decent option. Or maybe 22 CBs. Super quiet especially in rifles, bigger bullet than pellets i believe, and cheaper than a new gun. When I was a kid we cut Xs in the bullets--they would gut the gophers...

    First Turkey!

    Good job! You're ahead of me. I missed my first shot at a turkey this morning.

    WOW that was invigorating!!!

    As kids my grandparents used the prior year's Sears or Montgomery Ward catalogs. Education, environmental responsibility through recycling, and character development through pain, all at the same time. Oh for the good old days.

    Sleeping in Puffy Layers without a sleeping bag

    Having spent a few nights on fire lines and camping with just coats and gloves, it seems to me the relationship between puffies vs bag is the same as gloves vs mittens. Mittens are more efficient than gloves, period.

    Blizzard

    20 degrees right now 24" of snow since yesterday morning, winds 30-60 mph, drifts 2-4 feet deep, more snow and wind forecast through tomorrow. We can't get out of the driveway, and the county can't plow the main road anyway. All major roads in the state are closed, including I94, which means...

    trout creek MT

    Solid advice from both fellows. I grew up in the same county as Hill (and Cody Carr and others) and still know folks, reputations, and hunting conditions. Rough country, thick timber and brush, low elk numbers. Avoid it. Good luck.

    Opposing/Blocking Rezoning

    Excellent input. It matches my experience with land development in MT and ND, both while working for developers and opposing them. All these items require technical expertise from engineers and others the developer has engaged. Depending on how hard you want to fight, it can sometimes be...

    Opposing/Blocking Rezoning

    This is absolutely true. Any developer with that big a project in mind has been working through the issues all along to minimize his risk. However, a good land use attorney may be able to help. Weak spots in any such project can include traffic impacts, noise and air pollution, and other...
