On small properties I hunt very conservative. I'm quiet going in and don't move a bunch. You can easily run birds off your property if you are too aggressive.
I sit and wait and if a bird sounds off and is coming my way, I don't even call. It may be boring to some but it works. I have found...
Also don't forget each person has a responsibility to take care of themselves. Helping future generations is a noble thought but part of the reason people are so stupid, lazy and weak now days is because they were pampered and given to much.
Hard work, pain, and suffering builds appreciation...
Two scenarios, which one is right?
1. Guy works hard, lives conservatively. No new trucks or soccer mom vehicles. Lives in a 1,000 sq ft house. No fancy clothes, vacations or constantly eating out. Brown bags his lunch, no Starbucks. Doesn't smoke or drink. Pays cash or does without. Takes care...
If I could find a fair chase situation where success on a 300 bull was the norm, not just a rare occurrence, I'd feel better about paying that kind of money.
I don't want to go to a place where they hammer smaller bulls with only an occasional 300 bull. I know it costs money for outfitters and...
I am looking for a high success rifle hunt for a 300" plus bull. I have posted here before about a elk hunt and received several leads. I have applied the last two years in New Mexico with an outfitter. I am 62 years old.
I have been buying points in WY (will have 4 for next year) and have...
If folks ever figure out the applications scam going on at Huntin Fool and WTA Tags we may see applications continue to drop. They encourage people to apply for everything because they pocket money for each and every entry.
They are right in, you can't draw if you don't apply, but most will...
I'm 62 years old. Two time cancer survivor. (Both surgical procedures, no chemo etc.) I worked in a factory and worked a ton of overtime thru the years.
Retired at 59 1/2. No debt, decent sized 401k, drawing Social Security now also. Financial guy says I can live to 85 drawing what I was...
Definitely shows a drop in applicants overall and an encouraging trend to those who want to hunt Montana every year. Stops the insane points build up.
We have drawn deer combo with one point two years in a row. Those with 3 points will be at a multi year low next year. I like it!!
There are several threads out there about Talley's cracking the upper half of the ring if torque is too high or fatigue sets in. They don't appear as robust and are contoured differently than the Leupold Back Country.
They have been around and worked for years but with higher expectations of...
I'm not up on the newer chronos. I have a 25 year old Chrony model with the sticks and light diffusers. It unfolds and mounts on a tripod. I noticed if it wasn't level I would get different readings. Yous may be different.
I got into My FWP and signed in. Draw results showed pending but My FWP showed zero preference points and said I held a combo tag, so I will take that as a good sign. I screen shot everything for sake of argument if things change.
