    Colorado unit 49 fourth rifle

    I would imagine most of the elk are nocturnal and are not moving out of the timber during the day. The high winds will also keep them holed up in the timber. I’m curious as to what you findsince I’m planning to hunt 2nd season in 2022. PM sent

    Montana Fall Bear Hunting

    Yes, I have found black bears out in mid November in central Montana, September berry patches would be a much easier hunt.

    Any houndsmen here?

    Sounds good. You will have fun. I’m not getting a pup until mid November myself, so we both have a year to train. Fall/winter is great time to get a pup.

    Any houndsmen here?

    I’ve started several pups singularly with mixed success. I would recommend starting with one pup, a good Garmin tracking collar, and start training with a caged coon at 6-8 months in age, and then in a few weeks turn a wet coon lose in a timbered area and let the pup bay it before turning it...

    3 day elk hunt

    Yes, any elk are legal in central Montana. The other districts I hunt are branched bull only, so I plan to hunt open up more areas where any elk is legal.

    3 day elk hunt

    I have actually decided to hunt an entirely different spot that have wanted to hunt in the Little Belts, but have never hunted, that will take off 10 hours of drive time (5 hours each way). It will be a good scouting mission and maybe locate a few spots for later in November.

    Fire Wood SW Montana?

    Depending on the area you should have no problem with getting firewood. I would bring a good chainsaw. If your camping out on the low BLM ground around Dillon you might have to drive a ways. Good luck on your hunt

    10+ Mile Days

    I do several 10 mile days and never get over 2 miles from the road as a crow flys. I go pretty minimal, bc I’m lazy and hate packing extra weight. Most days I don’t even carry a backpack, Beside rifle/ammo, I take knife, sharpner, hatchet, binos, fire starter, water, and lunch/snacks. The area I...

    3 day elk hunt

    Has any other members only had three days to hunt elk, and been successful? I have been fortunate to connect with bulls on several occasions with only 2-4 days to hunt, due to work, family, taking care of animals, working on the house, etc. I wish I had more time this fall, but I can only attain...

    Breaking a horse to meat packing

    We are training two filly’s and last fall I placed a deer hide next to the feeding area, and within a couple days I could put it on them no problem. The second picture you can see how much she has grown in 9 months from weaning

    Moving out West

    We lived in Kalispell for 8-9 years and have 3 rentals, which have been a great investment. A good portion of the move ins are paying way too much for property and/or rentals. Wages are relatively low, unless you have a business or construction business. It’s way different than when I visited in...

    Longest you’ve ever lived in a wall tent?

    Yes, lived by ELy Nv for 2.5 years off and on in a army artic tent and smaller dome, once in WV for 7 months, CA near Tahoe for 5 months, Aladdin WY for 7 months, eastern MT for 4 months last summer, and up in MN through this spring-fall. I work in construction and it saves my per-diem money

    Longest you’ve ever lived in a wall tent?

    I’ve lived in one for 6-8 months several times. Just set up this tent yesterday and plan to live in it in northern MN until November or December. It’s very doable, if your mind is right.

    Elk Hunting Montana Outfitters

    Wayne Hill is a chain smoking Jack wagon, I would stay clear of him and northwest Montana. I would personally consider hunting a private ranch in central Montana if your wanting a good opportunity to kill a bull.
