    243 bullet choice

    I load 85gr TSX for my dad in his 243... it's been his favorite load since I developed it. I run 85gr Sierra in mine. That's the load my pap developed and killed truck loads of deer with it. No reason to change it.

    Official Montana 2022 draw thread!

    Personally I believe setting 25% aside for 0 point holders is bull shit. Why did I waste time and $ buying a point last summer to have 25% of the quota given to people with no points. I could see setting 500 tags aside for people who have never hunted big game in MT. The first timers. The rest...

    Non-resident elk hunters breaking point.

    I found myself debating this very thing. As it stands my great uncle lives in MT. So part of my hunt involves hunting and visiting with him. Hard to put a price on that. Cost me 1300 to apply this year.. what's another couple hundred at that point. If it gets to 2000 I may consider other...

    Saddle hunters?

    I've heard conflicting reports about how comfortable and uncomfortable saddles truly are. If I used one it would be primarily archery hunting. I generally pack very light. Bow, knife, grunt tube, binos and fanny pack with a water and snacks in it. Most of my current sets are hang on with...

    Season -2022

    Yeah I only have myself to blame. Should have bought the extra point when I had the chance.

    Season -2022

    Well I just realized odds are 34% or maybe less. I have 1 point for MT. Rep at FWP told me the non res big game combo odds have been going down since 2018 and last year were 34%. Fuel prices and Inflation may change that but I doubt by much. Guess if it's meant to be it will happen!

    Gas Prices & DIY NR Hunters

    As of now I have a vehicle reserved as a rental. 590$ for 10 days. Prices are up now. Watching flights Into Missoula and they are creeping up. I may lock in on one of the flights that offers free cancelation now to lock in the price. As for gas. 6$ a gallon is too much. I'd rather fly out...

    Season -2022

    Just applied to MT, if drawn this will be my 2nd trip. First trip was in 2017. Saw some elk, somehow called a lone cow in and sent an arrow over her back. Misjudged the yardage in a hurry. I bugled and she came in out of nowhere. Was a win in my opinion. Saw some amazing country and called in...

    Scouting Starts Now?

    I spend most of post season time scouting and shed antler hunting. I relax a little in summer unless I'm trying to pattern a specific deer. Trail cams on community scrapes year round is a great tool. Deer visit these areas often even if they aren't working the scrapes. I recently set 2 cameras...

    How’s your fuel prices

    4.45 for unleaded here in NW PA, diesel is over 5$. My boy has an 04 ram with a hemi in it. He's 18 and still in high school working part time. Hes not liking these gas prices. Thinking about downgrading to a smaller pickup or car.

    Tactacam Reveal

    After heavy frustrations with Moultrie Deltas, I ordered some of the new Reveal X then the wife surprised me with a Reveal XB for Christmas. I haven't setup the Reveal x yet but I am very pleased with the XB. The only complaint I have is a very wide detection range sometimes taking a photo...
