    300 WSM load recommendation

    Tikka T3 lite, older model. Winchester brass (not the greatest, but it was a gun show great price), 200gr ELDX, REM LRM primers, and RL17 produced low deviation, good accuracy, and excellent down range performance on both deer species and a cow elk.

    2023 Bird and Dog pics

    My 4 year old Hank has really come a long way! Opening Day of pheasant this past Saturday, and the previous weekends upland hunt yielded some huns.

    DIY Speed Goat Hunt

    I did an OTC hunt in WY back in 2018 when I first moved to MT. There were very few spots of public land in that area. It was literally a round robin on the public between trucks that week. My son and I doubled up that first day. It was everything people make the hunts out to be. Get out there...

    Grassland vs sage

    You’ll find them more in the sage than the grasslands, but check every spot you can. They’re my favorite critters to chase outside of upland/waterfowl with my dog. I actually feel guilty taking away some bird hunting to chase them, but they’re delicious, and we’re my dream animal growing up in...

    Upgrading Trucks Tundra, Gm, or f150

    Anyone of those choices, minus the F150. For full transparency, I own and drive a 2014 F150 with the 5.0. It’s got 127k on it, and I’ve owned it since 2018/50k. I’ve had every imaginable problem that’s common with those trucks. I’ve put just over 21k in it since the warranty ran out at 100k in...

    How many times to reload brass

    3x for my hunting rounds, after that it goes into the practice pile until the 10th fire. Then it goes into the scrap bucket. I do agree that inspection after each fire is key to longevity.

    How’s your fuel prices

    $3.99 today. Going to be an additional expense for hunting season, that’s for sure.

    Truck stickers

    NWTF and Pheasants Forever on the hunting truck, none on the old beater/daily driver. I’m sure I’ll add a DU to that one sometime.

    Gear recommendations

    A good pair of boots, and even better quality socks. I’ll second bringing different levels of base layers. Good luck and enjoy MT.

    300 wsm ammo

    Lots of good choices, I’ll add SG Ammo as a place to try and find them, besides the usual Midway USA, Brownell’s, etc. Maybe even time to consider reloading for that caliber. It’s one of my favorites to reload for, I’m using 200gr Hornady ELD-X for mule deer and elk.

    My son and I drew a b tag. That’s 2 seasons in a row without the either sex option, but at least we get to go chase some great eating.

    Traveling Job with Kids

    I can only speak from my previous career path. The travel part wasn’t worth missing birthdays, anniversaries, sports, etc. However, I do get to watch my oldest go to college debt free all the way through doctorate. It’s a give and take, and at least he understands the sacrifices that were made...

    FNG from Montana

    Moved here to MT back in 2018, and retired from Uncle Sam in 2021. Still don’t understand why I didn’t find this forum sooner. I primarily hunt upland with my lab, and mule deer for the table. I’m also a pronghorn addict when I draw tags. I’m also a member of a non-profit that provides advocacy...
