    Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

    I haven’t received mine but I know they don’t start mailing till June, so I’m unconcerned. I can’t believe that some guys had two points and didn’t draw. That would be disheartening. I got mine with two points. My understanding was that your odds were 97% with two points, so I was expecting a...

    Official Montana 2023 Draw Thread!

    I was able to draw a limited entry tag in Montana this year. There are three of us going and two of us put in as a party while my son will have a general tag. Montana changed it this year so if you drew a limited entry tag you can't hunt bulls in any other unit. This will give us the option to...

    I was #42,000+ - LOL. That was when I could finally get on. It was a lousy process.

    Last year 2 points was 98% according to the people on the phone in MT.

    Montana combo tags points

    They did not but the draw odds with 2 points is 98%. They did give me that number.

    Montana Elk/Mule Deer hunt - HD 422, 424 or something else?

    I want to hunt with stock one day, but I just keep running around with a pack on my back. LOL

    Montana Elk/Mule Deer hunt - HD 422, 424 or something else?

    Thank you for your reply. Feel free to DM if you so choose but all of these units are known and they can Google search them anyway. My post won’t make a difference but I have always found that people DM me if they want to. I have done the same. The thread just starts it but any real advice comes...

    WTS .25 WSSM AMMO

    .25 WSSM AMMO - I have about 30 rounds. It's tough as all get out to find. I loved mine but couldn't get ammo. Sold the gun. 32 rounds - $100

    Montana combo tags points

    I was just on the phone with MT Fish and game. I have 2 points so I should draw but the fact that you get spiked because you have one point is laughable. LOL

    Montana Elk/Mule Deer hunt - HD 422, 424 or something else?

    I am curious as to anyone's thoughts on a good general unit or fairly easy draw for an elk/mule deer combo. I have been to the SE, the Little Belts, and The Crazies. They all have pluses and minuses. My son missed an elk in 704, I tagged a 5x5 in the Little Belts, and we saw some elk in the...

    I have no idea. I was on public ground. I was also hunting with a bow.

    Let's hope they don't bring their politics with them.

    Lemhi, Idaho Elk Hunting Blues

    Hi all, thank you for all the feedback. I went through a number of pack reviews and took a number of comments about packs from people on Rokslide. I did a review video of the pack I bought and I just posted it. i'll leave that review here if anyone is interested.

    Lemhi, Idaho Elk Hunting Blues

    I do not believe that draw only is the way to go and actually from reading the posts of others on this forum there probably isn't much that needs to change. We simply need to learn to play the game better. Maybe Lemhi will be down for a couple of years but somewhere else will be up and we need...

    Camera for Photo and Video - DSLR vs Mirrorless

    I am a videographer by trade and I have two Z6 cameras. They are fantastic. I have a number of other bodies - d850, d7500, d500, and an astro-modified 610 but for video I strongly prefer the Z6. The other bodies all have their purposes but I also got a filmmaker's kit and would never go back...

    Lemhi, Idaho Elk Hunting Blues

    It varied, but we would blow a location bugle 30-60 minutes before shooting light. A couple times we had made it in 3 miles by that time. We tried mid day set-ups as well. We tried just about everything I had been told to do. I'm sure we can improve on our calling but it worked last year and we...

    Lemhi, Idaho Elk Hunting Blues

    We may have been in different areas. I can say that we only saw people on the trails a couple times and we were off trail a LOT, so we didn't run in to anybody then. It was really crazy the one day, but that's a whole other story. I just wanted to hear bugles and that was probably my biggest...

    Lemhi, Idaho Elk Hunting Blues

    Well, we were a couple hundred feet off the top and the elk were in that zone, but it was still shifty as all get out. I was doing a stalk up the mountain in a draw and we waited till the last half hour and the winds seemed fairly consistent but after I got to 40-45 yds on three of them and was...

    Lemhi, Idaho Elk Hunting Blues

    Does anyone on this thread have advice on dealing with thermals in draws and up high? In both instances they don't seem to be consistent, even when they are consistent elsewhere. I came up the back side of the mountain so I could approach from above with the thermals blowing up but once you get...
