    Turn in your hunting buddy?

    I wouldn't just report him. As the wise Gomer Pyle said on the Andy Griffith Show, "Citizens arrest, citizens arrest" :)

    Let’s talk bicycles…

    One way I've saved a lot of money is buying a used bike. There are many people out there who get in to biking thinking it'll be pretty easy. They try riding a few times and realize riding requires work and for many it's not as fun as they thought it would be. They either put the bike in the...

    Cost of Leases forcing people out west?

    I don't blame land owners for making money off their property. It's their land and they can do with it as they like. That's the cost to hunters of private property ownership. People with money seems to ruin most things. Because they can afford it they want their own private hunting paradise...

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Glassing Smarter

    Patience, patience patience. Comfort goes a long way in helping with patience. A comfy place to sit, using a tripod to glass or just finding some cover from the elements. A little patience can pay big dividends in the end.

    Cost of Leases forcing people out west?

    Here in Southern Illinois many farmers lease their land to hunters. The majority of hunters come down from Chicago. We have high deer populations here and it's not to hard to get a nice buck and they know it. The big city hunters , who have the money to spend, pay top dollar for the exclusive...

    I gots the Covid.

    I guess I'm a drama queen. I'll tell my friend joe to get off his lazy a*s because he's obviously faking it. He's such a drama queen as well.

    I gots the Covid.

    I have a close friend who has covid. He's currently in the icu, on oxygen, fighting for his life. For the last 20 years he would hunt deer every year in Illinois. This will be the first year he wont be there. Right now hunting is the last thing on his mind. I talked to him the other day and all...

    Move to MT?

    I have aunts and uncles who live in Billings and Columbus. They've lived in that area all their lives but as soon as winter hits they head south. It's not just transplants who might be snowbirds. Plenty of the locals do it also.

    Move to MT?

    Go live in Montana while you can still enjoy it. Nobody says you have to stay there. If it's not for you then you can move. In fact, you could probably make a good profit on your house if you do decide to leave. I live in the midwest and it gets cold here also. Maybe not -40 but many times -15...

    Online Fly Store

    A good friend guides anglers in Scotland and he has all his flies tied in Africa. Incredibly cheap. He then sells them to his customers if they need any of the local patterns. I buy a lot from ebay but hope to start tying my own soon.

    What makes a 23yo Tacoma worth $11,000?

    I have a 1995 Toyota pickup with 225,000 miles. I have not had to do any major work to the engine to date and the engine still purrs when in idle. I've driven it to Alaska and the Northwest Territories. several trips to the tip of Baja, all over the Sierra Nevada, explored the Mojave over the...

    Montana elk hunting is about to take a dive

    It's always about money. When wealthy people see profit in a resource they will do whatever they have to to acquire it. Especially if that resource is managed by the state or the feds. They know their wealth will always give them a receptive ear from politicians.

    The explanation makes sense to what I experienced. Good to know about Cameraland. I may just go that route.

    Game Warden shortage nationwide

    Unfortunately rule breakers are everywhere. We'd sit at a launch ramp and they came to us. Met many very nice people but you could tell the ones that had done something wrong as soon as they see you walking up. For some it was just an honest mistake but sadly most knew they broke the law.
