    Info for guided Elk Hunt

    I would check into ranch lands in central Montana, tons of elk on certain ranches and it’s mostly looks like easy hunting from the hunting shows I have watched. They can drive around and spot elk herds from the comfort of the truck and it appears to walk a mile or two and shoot “their” elk and...

    Recourse for undisclosed issues in home purchase?

    When I sell my house I’m not selling to anyone from California. I’m not referring to the original poster. Secondly, It’s has gotten significantly colder in Montana/Idaho than the past two winters. No judge is going to side with you, when you have a inspection report and lived in the house...

    Overlooked hunts in the east

    Wichita Mountains Refuge elk hunt, it’s a super tough draw but it’s loaded with big bulls and tasty cows. curious to hear more about hunting in Arkansas, and hunting with hounds for coon, bobcat, and bear in Ark? Anyone know if there are lots of bears, cats, or wild boars in the Boston Mountains

    Elk hunt next year and game processing.

    I used a processor in Wheatland, WY and they did a excellent job, the meat was the best tasting ever.

    Late Elk Tag Unit 20 - Colorado

    Best success on your hunt, and I have often thought about using my 8 points for this tag. I can’t provide any help, but I attempted to chase bobcats with my two hounds in units 20/19 in the winter of 2018/19 and it was similar weather conditions then, mild and dry. The elk/moose I seen were up...

    Montana General vs Colorado OTC

    I’ve hunted both states and I would personally recommend drawing a 1st season tag in Colorado, bc they are still rutting and easier to locate. Post-rut hunting is very difficult for bull elk. I have killed bulls most every year in Colorado in either the first or 3rd rifle seasons in low point...

    Backcountry Camp question

    I really like English/Redtick. First rifle is a great time and the elk are normally not as pressured, as the 2nd or 3rd season

    Backcountry Camp question

    I personally would not be planning to backcountry hunt any later than mid October in Colorado. I have hunted all three of the rifle seasons and by late October you will need a warm base camp and they can get some significant snows by Oct 15-30. You don’t need to hunt miles into the backcountry...

    Hunt Options for Fall 2021

    Do you hunt with Curs? And what type of curs do you use and what type of game do they tree. As far as your question, I would apply for unit in western Colorado that you can draw with zero preference points. I used to hunt the 1st rifle season for elk and had good luck. Secondly, apply for a...

    New fillys

    Me and my daughter (Scout) have been working daily with our two filly’s. Picking up feet, trimming, grooming, moving off hand pressure, leading, standing tied, and lots of desentilizing. This past week I started them getting used to blood/dead critters. They were a little spooky, but overall...

    Mountain Lion/Cougar Track?

    A small lion. Like the poster above bobcat tracks aren’t nearly that big, maybe quarter/half dollar size and more elongated toes

    poor choice of hunting outfitter

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Several “outfitters” near Thompson Falls are very shady, Wayne Hill being the biggest con in that area, followed closely by Cody Con. For guided hunts I recommend ranches in central and eastern Montana, lots of elk, and no wolves

    New fillys

    We will start them on our own. I have a round pen and plan to use a method similar to Clint Anderson, or Story horse training. Just plan to work them most every day, to some degree, if it’s just haltering/leading, desensitizing over the next two years before we start saddling them. Hopefully...

    Can't wait...Montana

    It might be because we had a fairly dry winter and the warm temperatures as you mentioned. It’s definitely dry from my general observations.

    New fillys

    We bought these two young foals from a friend in southeast Montana. We have had them home for a week and have been working with them. They are halter broke, broke to lead, and stand tied. Are working on picking up feet and desensitizing them. So far they are doing good and eating lots of fresh...

    Can't wait...Montana

    I’ve heard mixed reports on pressure this year. I did spend several weekends scouting and cutting poles in 319/332 and we seen a lot of archery hunters. But it’s like anything they all group up spots where they locate elk. I have a 399-00 cow tag Im hoping to fill later in the season. I will...

    Backcountry Rant: What Not To Do!

    I’ve did a lot of dumb things in my life, but have never had any intention of messing up someone’s hunt. About 10 years ago I was hunting Mesa State Park in Colorado and the gates do not open until 5 AM, it was the 3rd rifle. Me and about 10-12 other vehicles were waiting for the gate to open...

    .270 Round Combo?

    Just purchased two boxes of HSM low-recoil 130 Sierra for my 13 year old. Does anyone know how effective these would be on elk under 200 yards? We mostly hunt timber anyhow, but wanted to know if 200 yards was effective on a bull elk. Thanks

    Tent advice

    I would agree with others and it’s hard to beat a good Davis tent. I purchased mine used for $1000 with everything included and have lived in it for almost seven months last year. You will not regret buying larger that you think. Mine is a 12x16 and it takes about 1.5 hours solo to completely...

    We looked for broke horses for about 3 years and only a couple interested me, but they didn’t work out, due too time/availability. Horses in western Montana seem really over priced, and majority of people don’t sell a good broke horse, it must have issues. It would be like selling a finished...
