I've had a few elk within feet of me while hunting, a whitetail doe brush up against my ground blind, and the most recent, was a big color phased black bear come in downwind of me sniffing the wind like a bird dog right to me. At first I thought it was a grizz and pulled my phone out to record...
Watch the weather, cause going to the sun road probably will not be open at that time, and a few other spots probably will not be open yet. But Kootenai falls west of Kalispel is a good spots to explore, especially in the spring time with the spring run off, and there is a swinging bridge there...
Our mule deer are suffering here in Montana, it's a well known issue, and during the rifle season, the eastern part of the state is over ran with hunters, especially during the gun season. Not saying don't come hunt, but do some home work before you commit the time and money as you might be...
My dad before he passed bought a Remington 1100, rifled barrel in 20 gauge. He had a scope installed and that dang gun, is one of the most accurate guns I have in my safe, and with little recoil, it is in my opinion, is a great beginners gun. I keep saying every year i'm using it for elk...
We have a lot of beetle killed trees here, like whole sections of dead and blown down stuff, and nope, you won't escape pressure, but use it to your advantage if possible.
I shot a bull with those bullets out of my 7 mag, I hit the bull two times in the heart and lungs, it kept running over a hill, it died and the bullets did their job, so I guess they were good for me.
My son and I have been shooting TAC for 7 years now, some years we go through more arrows than others. This year at Big sky, him and I both, shot all three days and only broke one arrow each. As for what to bring, I bring probably more than I should, but it goes in the camper or truck and I have...
I have a double bull matrix 360 blind that I bought before Primos bought them out. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the weight of it, because it's truly made to last, this thing has been blown across fields and it's still looking like new. I truly don't know how the new ones are cause I...
I actually own both, the rx7 ultra and rx7. Both of them shoot really good, the ultra is a little bit smoother, but the rx7 is faster, with the same 435 grain arrow, the ultra is getting 271 fps, while the rx7 is 298. Both of them are 60-70, but the ultra is 72# and the rx7 is at 75#. You can't...
Most of the seasonal roads are closed on October 15th, As for scouting during the summer, the elk will be in their summer patterns without the hunting pressure. By the time you show up to hunt in November, the elk have been pushed and shot at a lot and they will be pushed onto the private lands...
Hope fully he's good with driving in winter conditions, cause that drive from Livingston to Bozeman can be a fun one during the winter, and they close that section quite bit during the winter.
For the floor, a friend of mine did this, he went and bought 1/2" marine grade plywood, and attached it to the bottom of the frame, then pulled up the plywood floor and spray foamed it from inside. That's where I got my idea for my next one to put in floor storage, and to do the same as him for...
I did a 7x14 a couple of years ago, had it fully insulated, both 12 and 120 volt systems, LED lights throughout. Had a queen bed in the back and had bunks on the one side and I heated it with a buddy heater or a oil filled heater when using the generator. I had one window in the side door and...
I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee, and I'll air my tires down to 8-10 psi, and that thing will float over quite a bit of snow and I've yet to pop a bead, but I probably just jinxed myself now. I also have tire chains for all four tires, plus traction boards and a tire repair kit in the Jeep.
