    Best sleeper states for elk and moose?

    I think the idea of a "sleeper" good state is gone. Too much pressure on Elk and everything else now. As a NR, your' best bet is to study the draw systems in each state and go from there. Get a credit card set aside for just applications fees (several thousand) and put in for a dozen eastern...

    Executive Gun Control Orders?

    I don't think its pandering...I know a bunch of folks were all over switching to blue, because of the Utah doctrine, Trump's an ass, or whatever...what did they think would happen to their rights? It's only a matter of time. We WILL lose our gun rights in due course, we already saw the power of...

    The Montana elk bill from hell is back

    You are right; life isn't fair and that's why kids get to buy points. Ironically, the idea that an expensive college is some how a solution is a bit tongue in cheek don't you think. Thousands of kids go off to college on their parents dime and drop out, burn out, or fail in life after...

    How much do you all actually hunt?

    Look friend, this is not about how much you hunt. Its about how high a priority she is in your life. Make her a priority with dates, giving her a couple air line tickets with a girl friend to FL in February and a couple home improvements each year and you'll be fine. If you neglect her, she...

    Odds my July NWT dall hunt happens?

    I saw a dall sheep hunt in AK going for $40K. This hunt was probably $23 two years ago. Looks like AK is taking full advantage of "abundance of caution" strategy deployed by Ottawa. I think inflation is going to put hunts out of reach for many guys as thing open up in 2022...

    Which Sheep Caliber

    I prefer a 308 or 270 / 270 WSM. Neither on the list. The 308 is light and cheap ammo which these days is a consideration. I also like the option of a 200 grain bullet in the 308 if you want the energy for bear. The 270 WSM is nice as a magnum option for longer range. Todays advanced scopes...

    Odds my July NWT dall hunt happens?

    The infection rate is now falling hard from its peak on January 7th. In the US , the covid "related" death rate is .0176%. The experts are talking about herd immunity by April. You would think with summer coming we'll bottom out until November of 2021 with a spike around thanksgiving if there...

    Montana Alternates List Changes

    Well my alternate list Montana Hunt was fantastic. Took a beautiful 6 pt bull and 11 pt whitetail. The best part was they didn't take my points so 2021 should be a shoe in...

    Odds my July NWT dall hunt happens?

    Well, what's the latest thinking on July 2021? Will Canada be open? Looking back I'm glad I moved my trip to 2022. Hoping my NWT outfitter is still in business if this 2021 season doesn't happen...
