    MT General Elk (and Deer) - Opening Week or Delay?

    My kid and I are skipping the shit show of opening weekend and going waterfowl hunting instead. Have had way too many bad experiences on opening weekend to go any more, we'll wait until the weekends warriors are gone.

    What was the best thing you ate in Elk Camp this year?

    I cooked up antelope backstrap that my son killed a couple of weeks before the archery elk opener, then did some elk steaks, and another night I cooked some walleye.

    Grand Design Imagine Series Trailers opinions

    I have an Arctic Fox 25R, empty weight is 6600 and dry hitch weight of about 725. It's a true four season camper and I've had in some pretty cold temps with no issues. While I tow it with a 2500 Ram diesel, I have seen a few being towed with the ford f150's. So this is another option to look at...

    Look for a job in a few of the Rocky Mountain States

    It's the same way here in Montana, we have the county plates too, and most of the state despises the dreaded 7 plate, almost as much as the California plate. Here, the hate for California is bad, I've seen people flip them off, yell at them to go home and more. And it seems to be getting worse...

    Favorite base camp photos

    This is the base camp and we'll spike out from here. Super spoiled with this set up, but I've also slept in the back of the truck a lot.

    Montana

    Hopefully home prices fall, cause right now they're stupid expensive and rentals are next to impossible to find.

    Single pin or multi

    I'm mainly an elk hunter, elk can and will cover a lot of ground when walking, and that's why I stay with my five pin slider Black Gold. I want to be able to just pick a pin and shoot, as for hunting, I only use my five pins locked down, but say I shoot an elk and it runs out to say 80 yards...

    Best 275/75 (or 70) x18 AT for mountain roads

    I had bad luck with the Goodyear duracraps, even with rotating every 5000 miles, I was only able to get 30k miles out of them and they don't handle the rocks too well. Had five rock punctures and two cut sidewalls that I didn't know about, maybe it was because I had them on a 2016 Cummins, and...

About a month later, I was peeing blood, but that was about it for that one, but this lat one...I felt it coming on, told the wife she's going to have...

    What age did you introduce your kids to hunting?

    My son has been hunting with me since he could walk, I started him out hunting out of blinds and moved from there. Now at thirteen, he's been on multiple back country back packing hunts and he can't get enough and prefers to bow hunt over rifle. Now for the not so good parts, as a young kid...

    Help a guy from Indiana

    A good 10 ply all terrain is a good start, I keep a shovel, chains and maxtrax traction boards in my truck at all times. Plus tow straps, A winch is helpful, only if you have something to winch too. I buried my Cummins two years ago and had nothing to winch too, luckily I had the maxtrax with...

    How do you fund your hunting trips?

    I work a second job, and between that and my overtime, it funds my hunts, or new toys, plus my wife makes more than I do, so that helps with the money part.

    Crap You've Broken On Ya Huntin Rig

    I've busted the Ifs on a 2011 ford f150, broke a balljoint and was stopped right away. The damn thing only had 65k miles on it at the time. Then a couple of months later, as I was coming down the mountain, I heard a loud bang, and the truck dropped on the drivers side, here the main leaf spring...

    Who else has caught the Rona?

    I had it last October, it started out as a headache, then a sinus infection, and then I lost my sense of smell and taste and that was it. The wife and one daughter got it, and my son and other daughter never got it and my son was constantly with me before I was tested positive.

    Tire pressures on long trips on/offroad

    Where I live, the rocks will eat a fully inflated tire, If I'm going to run up to the mountains, I'll deflate my tires down to 35-40 psi or so, I drive a Ram 2500 Cummins and they want it inflated to 65 front and 80 rear. The only time I inflate that high is when I'm towing my camper and taking...

    Let's talk grazing on public lands...

    You mean like this? The grass was so short, it looked like it was mowed, but there is no way for that to happen where this meadow is and it happens all over here and nothing is done about it, yet the ranchers bitch when the elk and deer hit their fields and they wonder why, hmm, maybe if they...

    if you’re headed to Idaho or Montana in September- start your prayers now

    I talked to a good friend of mine who works for the forest service and he said that they're discussing stage 3 fire restrictions for my area, and he said they will close the lands down with big fines if caught. He said they will remain in place until we get a lot of rain or snow and with how...

    What Western State Offers Resident Hunters The Best Yearly Big Game Opportunities

    I'd look hard at Wyoming, they manage their state way better than most, heck I think our game and fish hate elk here in Montana.
