One thing I noticed about saddle panniers is they ride low, it would be like carrying five gallon buckets of water. I started tying up the load on each side with a simple basket hitch. These elk quarters were not tied up. In the second photo I tied up the panniers so they ride higher up.
Right on, great video and good looking burro. We had an older Jesus burro that gave up the ghost last winter. Great little burro and nice country down there in New Mexico. Good training on your part for Comet
A quick question, do any of you guys use electric fences solo for containing your stock while at camp or out hunting? I use portable and Permanent electric fencing at home, and just curious if people use them in the backcountry and not rely on high lines? Thanks
I hunt whenever we get a good snowstorm or the opening weekend. I’m definitely not in competition with nonresident hunters. I was just saying most resident hunters only hunt weekends due to work. You have to remember 80% of the elk are killed every year by 10-20% of the hunters, read that again...
There is actually around 60,000 nonresident hunting licenses/tags sold in Montana each year. Just like 406huntermt said. Most residents can only hunt weekends because they are paying for an expensive house, and high cost of living.
Related to the post on page one, I believe you can buy NR...
I don’t think he was referring to you, but could be wrong. He is correct that GC only mark up 10-20%, but most of them are running multiple subs, and multiple projects at once. And not doing any of the work. Unless, it’s a multi family or inside the city limits there will be little to any...
I’ve drew three limited permits since 2014 in Montana two rifle and one archery. Yes I seen bulls but nothing big and it was far from easy to fill a bull tag, due to a unlimited number of deer hunters, 600 cow elk hunters, and lots of pressure from other bull hunters. It required running and...
We have did this several times since the early 2000’s. I built my first log house in eastern Oklahoma with my brothers help in 2001 and lived in it off and on between fieldwork. Had less than 30k in land/720 sq ft cabin.
Got married in 2005 and moved west, bought land in 2013 in Montana and put...

I would recommend a 30-30 and a fixed 3-4x power scope in like a Henry or Marlin, and keep your shots under 200 yards. I’ve shot around 20 elk, half dozen pronghorn and around a hundred deer about 95% of them were shot under 200 yards and most under 75 yards. A 30-30 would have been more than...
I don’t know the details on your new job, but housing cost, property taxes, general services, vehicles, etc will be considerably more expensive in MT compared to GA. For a 600k home will pay roughly 4k a year or more in taxes, plus financing a home will take away a lot of disposable income...
What is the process of shooting a grizzly before you walk out to report it to Fish and Game, do you gut out the bear or leave it whole and possibly let it spoil?
I hunted a high grizzly bear concentration area this last fall in Montana and seen two sets of fresh grizzly bear prints (two...
