    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I've been following this thread for some time and I really wanted to go Model seven or model 700 sa but just can't turn anything up. Finally handled a tikka and I really like them although I didn't want to. Anyhow, I'm collecting components and will have a rifle soon. Have Norma brass and 400...

    On-call for work brothers and sisters

    Thus only happened once but was on call the week of the opener so I thought I'd hit a close piece of public where I still had service. I get parked, start getting my gear ready and my phone rings. It was a walk-in cooler down. So, I run the call, it was something easy, head back to the chunk of...

    DIY off the haul road rifle hunt

    I hunted that country in the early 2000's and was not mentally prepared for walking on tundra. My dad and I got the job done but it was tough. Trekking poles and different boots would have made life multiple times better. With all that said, I'd do it again.

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    I know a lot of pot smokers that you'd never think smoked pot. If a lot of fly fishermen are pot smokers I'd market to them too. I don't smoke but if other people smoke I don't care. It should definitely be legal.

    Money Saving Tips / Ideas

    Check your internet bill and see if you're paying rent for your modem. If you are just go buy one and send the rented one back. We have Starlink now but noticed we were being charged $11/month for a modem from century link years ago. Resist the urge to eat out and cook at home. Change your own...

    Antelope meat?

    Antelope is our families favorite game meat. Backstrap, burgers, spaghetti, tacos, or whatever. Get it gutted and skinned right away and it's the best. I always add 20% beef fat from the local butcher and you're good to go.

    Late summer fires displacing Mule deer?

    Best year we had in the area I hunt was after a big August burn.

    Best bang for your buck hunts at every budget?

    Deer/elk hunting in Montana costs me about $500/season. Could be had for less I suppose if you don't camp and hunt from your house. One week of wall tent hunting with food, fuel, and misc expenses probably cost around $500 +/-. I use to hunt a few other states when I was younger but am content...

    Tell me why I shouldn't move to wyoming...

    I spent 4 years in the Midwest going to school and other than meeting my wife I hated it. It's humid, hot, bland, flat, etc. I don't blame you for wanting to get out. As soon as I graduated I lined up a job in Bozeman and headed out. We decided to move from the Bozeman area years ago for eastern...

    Solo pack outs?

    I have never leapfrogged loads. I bring out the back straps, any loose meat, antlers, etc. head on the first trip. Then haul out 1 quarter at a time. Typically, it's cold when I hunt so depending on how far the packout is I'll do a quarter/day. This way I can hunt for mule deer on the way in to...

    Ntl Park Service Fining AWD Vehicles on 4WD Trails

    A few years back our family headed up to the mountains to cut some Christmas trees. I took my pickup and my sister and my bil took their Subaru forester. So we get off the highway onto the county road and the snow keeps getting deeper so I tell them to park the doucharu and hop in with us as I...

    County Fair Exhibitors

    Wife and kids spend everyday at the fair. I come and go depending on work. Oldest will start showing pigs next year so we spent time with friends in the barns. We raised a pig this year to butcher and for the kids to get some experience. Youngest still has 3 years before she can show. I also...

    HVAC tech broke heat pump

    The second tech probably could have got you going within a couple hours and been on his way. Too bad they didn't. Not dogging on all residential hvac companies but a lot of them run ridiculous flat rate charges. Best route would be to find an independent hvac contractor that charges an hourly...

    Danner Boots still a good brand?

    Use to always wear danners for work and hunting but the last couple pairs I bought just didn't hold up. This has been at least 10 years ago but doubt I'll buy danners again.

    MT Draw Results

    It's fun. Been taking my whole family since my kids could barely walk. They love it. It's a challenge hunting with a 3 and 5 year old but it's possible. They are 8 and 6 now and it's way easier.
