There was a trainer at a gym I used to go to. Seemed like a nice dude. One day I walk into the weight room and he’s got nothing on but a pair of boxers and there’s a couple people standing around him. Initially I think he’s doing some bodybuilding poses in the mirror and prepping for a show or...
Go back and reread what I said. I don’t disagree with a single thing you said here. You’re spot on with all of that.
What I am saying is that arguing only hardens the other person’s position. If we want to make any headway with people who are locked into their leftist ideology, we have to both...
I guess if you care about winning the argument more than anything else then that’s a great approach. The get in their face approach led them to “electing” a guy who routinely shits his pants and can’t form sentences. That only happened because of the polarity we’ve created.
And I never said...
So you’re saying that politicians benefit off of polarity between two different opinions on these issues? That’s exactly the point I’m trying to make. So long as we see anti gun people on the left as “the other” the politicians and globalists will continue to profit and gain power from us...
I can see your perspective. I’ve lived a lot of my life feeling the same as you. That we need to be strong and fight back.
What I’m saying is easily verified by observing the world around us. Resistance creates strength. Look at the war on drugs, homelessness, terrorism, left, right. It’s the...
I think arguing the point just locks the other side into firmer and firmer resistance and delusion.
Firearms are tools that I need to own and will continue to own. Others can believe whatever they want and choose to not own them or to lobby and vote against them. It won’t change my stance and...
As much as I love the decorations that come from hunting, I’m hopeful that people will start moving in the direction of seeing hunting as a source of high quality food rather than an ego trip. When that shift happens, people are going to do less hunting out west and more hunting close to home. I...
The most convenient think about orange is it makes other hunters visible. The safety component doesn’t seem super important to me here in MT, but it sure is nice being able to see pumpkins hiking south so that I know to go north
One of the great things about Covid is it brought awareness to a cheap drug that treats two common afflictions of hunters. Trichinosis and giardia

If you want to avoid antler discoloration, have a better finished product and do WAY less work, macerate instead of boil. I’m not sure why anyone goes to the trouble of boiling. Especially something as large as a moose
I throw all the weird stuff that my wife is too scared to eat whole into breakfast sausage and hamburger. Spleen, liver, kidney, oysters, heart, (if there’s any leftover from the traditional post-kill heart tendies meal). I’ll save some liver and maybe a kidney and package it up but most organs...
It’s hard to say what this is, but my theory is that you’re experiencing “the sound of the universe.” A mystical phenomenon that the east has known about for millennia. The mantra “om” or “aum” that is used in meditation to connect to higher consciousness is derived from this sound that was...
I had an elk tag on the south side of the breaks last season and I'll confirm what Bigsky2 said. I was shocked at how few deer I saw for how perfect the habitat is. Pretty sad deal
I hope you have some good luck! You’ll have a lot more time to find a good one than we did. The drought had a lot of deer on the private ag fields last year. Hopefully all this rain we’re having puts some critters in the badlands come season
My gramps drew that tag last year. He’s in his 80’s so our hunt consisted of driving lots of roads. He’s hunted it quite a few times in the past with pretty good success. He said it’s the fewest deer he’s ever seen. We only saw one herd on public the whole hunt. I’m sure if a guy put the time in...
Gonna be hunting mule deer for the first time in the state I was born in and a mountain range every grandfather has hunted going back 5 generations. Gonna be pretty damn special
Fall bears in Montana is tough because the rifle season doesn’t start till September 15, right when the berries are drying up and bears are moving to new food sources. The early archery season might be more fruitful for seeing bears, but the archery element adds another list of challenges
