    Early season elk hunt dates vs full moon

    I haven't found full moons to be very helpful during the elk rut personally. As stated already the weather will be the biggest factor. Also remember that a lot of people plan their trips around the full moons, so if you want even more competition go during a full moon.

    Best Podcast series for beginners.

    Don't listen to them. Majority of those guys are full of hot air. The guys that do know what they are talking about these days make you listen to 30 minutes of advertisements in a 45-60 minute podcast. They will also make you think you need way more gear than you do. It gets old and repetitive...

    Where to move?

    first of all, you know noting about me or how hard we are trying. So with all due respect F U. Seeing a listing on facebook and actually getting them to respond and accept you for their rental are two different things. Especially when you have a 12 year old dog and most places won't allow pets...

    Where to move?

    thank you for the reply, definitely been trying to do my homework and narrow places down based off of income to cost of living etc. Just also interested in hearing from some people personally if they had similar experiences and what it was like stuff like that. I know it'll get better, but just...

    Where to move?

    kind of a long story but due to friction between my fiancé and her moms newer husband we don't want to be in the same area. Otherwise I completely agree.

    Where to move?

    I'm not saying you can escape it, but there are a lot of more affordable places out there than where I'm at now. Here the housing is insane and the wages are low

    Where to move?

    Though I completely agree with you, the only reason we haven't been able to is securing the land in Montana. Anything within hours of where I live that is at least an acre, isn't snowmobile in only during winter months, and has water access is usually over $200k. We had some money saved up and...

    Where to move?

    28 and been going along on hunts in MT since I was 7. My uncle lived in Clyde park since the late 70's. My dad and I came out every year to hunt with him until I moved here full time in 2014. So yes, I'd say I have experience and perspective on the changing status of things as it pertains to our...

    Where to move?

    I definitely understand the changes in lifestyle choices that need to be made, one of which is finding an entirely different state to live in where I have a better opportunity to do it

    Where to move?

    definitely open, I know anywhere I go will be a lot different than I'm currently used to but as long as I can find salaries that are somewhat proportionate (or close considering the current state of things) then I'll be happy and able to support the family without stringing ourselves out too much

    Where to move?

    Definitely, it's a big problem especially here and an unfortunate part of life in the rest of the country at the moment, but we move on and try to make the best of it!

    Where to move?

    the costs of anything out here is pretty crazy for what you're actually getting anymore. Hope all goes well with retirement and you enjoy Wyoming, spent a lot of time wandering around WY over the years especially in the bighorns. I'll definitely take a loot into Arkansas, appreciate it!

    Where to move?

    Obviously making more money than the next guy helps. But a nice home in some places could be $200k-$350k for 2-3 bed 2 baths on an acre or two meanwhile where I live you have to have over $450k minimum for a 650-1100 square foot dump with zero yard. Meanwhile wages here in Montana are not...

    Where to move?

    Me and my fiancé are looking to start our family soon, both of us being 28. Originally from PA but been living out west in MT for nearly a decade. The obvious spike in cost of living here over the past several years has us to the point where we can't afford to buy a house and rent isn't any...
