That is a once in a lifetime tag in a unit know for huge bulls and you are worried about a few thousand for a guide? $6k is only $500 saved per month for a year. How much time will you have to take off work to properly scout? Probably enough lost wages to pay half the guide cost or more. Do...
My experienced is moon phase doesn’t really impact elk in the rut. They rut hardest leading up to and during the period when cows are in heat. I’d go earlier. Late you run the risk of missing the activity and most good bulls will be more difficult to call and to sneak on because they will have...
Pioneer is an awesome machine with 2 intolerable flaws. The dust is unbearable and the engine heat under the seat scalding. If Honda would fix that I would have another.
Lots of good info, thanks guys. I understand the system, and there is never a guarantee, but with 15 points I have a lot of chances. Guide draw does not apply for archery, so that doesn’t help me at all. Based on feedback, I’m not considering 131 any more

I am...
Just got my lab back from the vet after a spontaneous pneumothorax. 5 years old and the best hunting dog I have been around. I was willing to spend a boatload to save her. Required several days in the er, chest tube, and a lot of luck. She’s on strict rest for 4 weeks minimum. Hope it was a one...
I am planning a road trip home with my daughter from Bozeman around May 12 this year and was thinking of trying to check out Glacier. Is that too early to make it worth going, or is the park even open then? I looked online and it shows reservations required beginning May24, but not sure if...
I picked one up last week, 33. So far I am impressed. Perfect bullet hole first shot after set up. 6 arrows all touching each other at 40 yards. Very quiet, no vibration. I went with the Hamskea rest and really like it over the previous QAD. I’m at 29” draw, 75lb mod, 490 grain arrow...
