    Fierce Firearms Disaster

    Bought 2 Fierce rifles w carbon barrels over the last 6 or 7 years. Get to shoot a lot. Hitting under MOA out to 5 an 600 yards w factory ammo. The 300 WM loves the cheap Remington rounds. I did contact Fierce twice with questions, got an immediate answer back both times. Once from John Mogle. I...

    Montana Mule Deer - Opener vs Rut

    I’ve been lucky enough to hunt south around Miles City / Forsyth the last several years. Second to third week of Nov. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. I love seeing some of the rut happening. Don’t mind the gumbo too much as I’m happy to get out of the truck and walk. Can only stand so much truck...

    Shipping gear for a hunt

    I am a surveyor down at Lake Anna. I have flown to western hunts, and driven it a couple of times. This time doing OTC elk in Colorado, then Mulie rut hunt near Miles City in MT. I would love to take a lot of gear. Biggest problem with driving is I miss so much work it just makes the hunt that...

    Shipping gear for a hunt

    It’s a long drive from Virginia to Montana. But when I fly I just can’t take all the gear I would like to. Any of you fellas ever tried shipping gear out before a hunt? Also wondering if I could ship firearms and pick them up at a FFL when I get there. Don’t really love flying with a gun case...

    Fierce Carbon Rogue

    I guess maybe I’m a Fierce fanboy. Edge in 6.5 CM is the first rifle I ever paid more than 1K for, and it was 3 times that. But I could not be happier. Well under MOA with factory ammo out to 500 yards. Practice to 500 so I can hunt to 400 with absolute confidence. Never had so much fun chootin...

    SHV or ATACR

    It's the opposite of disappointing for me. For a thousand bucks I am amazed. I can easily shoot at 3 or 400 in super low light. Well past legal shooting time. I just wish I could do a side by side with the ATACR. If there is a huge difference, I would pay the extra money. I just don't see how...

    Nightforce shv 5-20x56

    I love my SHV. 5 x 20. I’ve never looked through a $3,000 scope, but can’t imagine it could be much nicer. Never noticed short eye relief.

    SHV or ATACR

    New rifle coming, need to pick a new scope. I’ve been using the Nightforce SHV for for several years. I love it. 5 x 20. I never dial, just use the reticle. I’m going to stick with 2nd focal plane. Question is, should I bump it up to the ATACR? I’m an optics nut. 40 years as a surveyor, I like...

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    Those stupid political signs that get left on the side of the road after an election cycle. With the two little aluminum legs that you push into the ground. I keep a couple under my tool box in the back of the truck. Tape a sheet of paper over the ad and presto chango ya got a quick target to...

    Busted on MT Breaks permit. Looking for general unit outfitter or ranch trespass fee

    I’ve also done the Public Lands hunts in Montana, and been looking forward to next year the minute I get home. But it is nice to not see so many damn orange hats every where you look. One issue with Montana, if you book with a ranch and use a land owner tag, that tag is only good for that ranch...

    Busted on MT Breaks permit. Looking for general unit outfitter or ranch trespass fee

    Just Google SELF GUIDED HUNT MONTANA and several will pop up. I’m 62 with a pair of bionic knees, and been paying a trespass fee near Miles City for a couple of years now. Then you have the option of hunting as hard as you’d like. I’ve tried to get as far back as I can off the road system, and...

    Sling mounted bipod suggestions for open plains mule deer hunt

    I also have a Bog “Death Grip” tripod that I sometimes carry in my pack. Might be a good option for you. I need to practice off it more than I have, but if you are in some high grass, it’s tough to beat.

    Sling mounted bipod suggestions for open plains mule deer hunt

    The Harris is an awesome bipod for shooting off a picnic table while getting practiced up. But awful bulky, and will grab a lot of branches while trying to pack through any type of vegetation. Which shouldn’t bother you hunting through some wide open plains. But if you are carrying your rifle on...

    Fierce firearms carbon fury/rival

    Got a Fierce Carbon Fury in 6.5 and love it. Not always the 1/2 MOA they guarantee, but always under 1 MOA out to 450 yards with factory ammo. Both Hornady and Nosler. And I’ve been trying to do that for years. Never had so much fun chootin. Just in time for the big ammo shortage.

    Hunting Mule deer in SE Montana

    I hunted SE Montana the last two years and saw plenty of bucks. Just not what I was looking for. (Mature mule deer buck) Also plenty of white tails down around the rivers. I think the guys that are able to afford to hunt the large ranches are probably killing it. Saw a 3 point mule deer in the...
