    2025 MT Crazies Elk/Deer

    Sounds like "Crazies" is the correct name for that place. All they need now is a Buckee's for the hunters to park their trucks.

    Long Range Hunting: Hold Over Reticle, Dial or Both?

    You use 8x? In reply #114 your photo shows that 8x is only partway through the power range. On my Swarovski Z5 (SFP), I use the reticle hash marks for holdover, but the scope has to be on max power (18x) for the hash marks to be accurate. I use a card taped to my stock with the yardage for each...

    Yet another Fierce Firearms Issue...2024

    If you do send it back, and they later tell you it meets their specs and you owe them $200, I would ask them for the test target and a box of the ammo they shot the group with. Don't settle for the "O we shot 'such and such' and it grouped well". I would want the same exact ammo they used. Then...

    Cold weather boot

    I have the Crispi Wild Rocks, and using the Kenetrek Ultimate Liner sock under the Kenetrek Alaska sock, my feet have never been cold. We usually spot and stalk in the morning and sit in a stand in the evening and my feet stay warm. I think a good sock system is important, namely a liner sock...

    Biggest bull yet!

    Nice bull and a great story to go with it, thanks for sharing. How did your hunting partner make out?? Was he ever able to get the ice out of his action?

    How to find a reputable outfitter and get a tag for that hunt?

    Unfortunately, most of the "good" outfitters are already booked up for all hunts and have returning clients year after year. If one has openings for this year, could be for a reason. And, most outfitters might not take bookings three years from now, they only book a year or two ahead. It's a...

    Insoles…expensive mistake??

    I had plantar fasciitis (heel spurs?), and went to local WalMart that had some contraption that you stand on in the pharmacy section, and follow directions on the screen. They "mapped" my feet, and recommended a Dr. Scholl's orthotic insoles to help correct the problem. I bought a pair of the...

    FNG from Germany

    Welcome !!! I spent some time in Germany 1963 to 1966. Kaiserslautern, Zweibrucken, and Landstuhl. Loved Germany. Came back to the US during the Hippie crap, love beads, etc. Wanted to get back on the plane and go back.

    CO 2nd Rifle Tips

    For mid day, we usually don't bump them from their bedding areas. Glass early in the am, see where they are going, then try to ambush them when they leave that area to head back down to the meadows in the evening. I know that sounds easy, but if there are elk bedded and you bump them (midday)...

    Bullet recommendations for 30-06 Elk

    I use the Barnes 168 TTSX in my 30/06. 55.0 grains of IMR-4350 was my most accurate load. Not max, but less than MOA in my rifle.

    Newly observed phenomena

    We call them "organ donors". Sometimes they will live long enough in the ER for the parents to sign the papers to donate their organs.

    Football fans???

    It's hard to believe one player has so much impact in a game (other than qb), but the Saints really felt the absence of Taysom Hill. Eagles loaded the box and made Kamara a non-issue. Definitely looks like a different team than games 1 & 2 when they were the #1 offense in the league. Oh well...
