    Fishing in high country lake lures

    I'm taking my kids to RMNP this summer for some hiking and fishing. We've been out there several times hiking, but the fishing will be a new experience for us. I want them to have a good time. Either way, I've gotten some lightweight spinning rods to take up the mountain, I just need some...

    WTS WTS Kuiu Icon 5200 complete pack

    I'm selling my Kuiu Icon 5200 pack assembly. It has a few stains from dirt and blood but otherwise it's in great shape. The stains could possibly wash out with proper soap and water. The bag doesn't smell. I believe its a large frame with a medium belt. I wear 32-33 pants and I'm in the middle...

    Montana NR elk tags

    Does anyone know where to find the statistics for Montana NR general tags and big game combo tags. The only thing I can find is stats for draw units. I'm curious what the allotment of Big Game Combos was and how many they sold. Also, what about general elk tags? How many were sold vs how many...

    Hey Sliders, I need a new gun case to carry my rifle to and from the range/hunting spots. I've currently got one that's set up for an AR style rifle because that's the only one I could find that was long enough. It's so big, I open it all the way and lay on it for a pad while shooting prone...

    Questions about Montana Region 3

    Hello, I was wondering if there was someone that would answer a few questions for me. I won't ask for an area to hunt. I have done some research and have decided on a few areas to check out.

    First DIY pack

    Well, after several months of cussing and throwing things, I think I'm done with my first pack. This hasn't been a joy to do. With my slow learning curve and my "instant gratification" personality, it was a struggle to even finish it. So many times I wanted to just send my drawings, materials...

    Stupid cooler question!!

    Me and my brother will be heading to Montana from Kentucky for our first elk hunt. We are planning on bringing two Coleman Extreme coolers filled with frozen milk jugs. If we put a large chunk of dry ice in there, would the ice in the milk jugs last longer? Would it be worth it? Thanks guys...

    Giving kudos where it's definitely due.

    Hey guys, I just wanted to say wow. I pride myself on being able to do just about anything I set my mind to. I've tiled bathroom walls and showers, hung drywall, poured concrete, built a 2 car garage by myself (dad and brother help set the trusses), and even built a 12,000lb gvw dump trailer...

    Climbing stands

    If you guys are anything like me, I enjoy the maneuverability of climbing stands. I just hate packing the stupid things for very far. The shoulder straps on my Summit Viper are pretty bad.

    Gunsmith time estimates and etiquette questions

    I'm curious about gunsmith time estimates. I'm having a rifle built now. It's a Stiller action 7wsm that I'm having rebarreled to 28 Nosler. I knew which gunsmith I wanted to do the work. He is very well known for his expertise with the 28 Nosler and the 195 Bergers. To make a long story short...
