    Missouri Breaks - Fuel

    Super late getting back to this, but just wanted to say thank you to those who gave me the advice. It was a cool hunt, learned a lot, and was lucky enough to take my first bull with a bow. Came down to the wire on closing day, but got it done.

    MT and ATVs while elk hunting?

    This. Insurance is huge and pretty cheap. When I've dealt with insurance for machines like this (mostly snowmobiles) they are really good about it and it's an easy process if something were to happen. If you just bring the key with you though you should be fine.

    Missouri Breaks - Fuel

    Thanks everyone for the tips with the fuel, went out before the rain this weekend and made it in far and back out without having to touch the spare fuel, good piece of mind though. Some really cool country, @406huntermt that is my main goal, I've heard how crowded it can be. @Djacker good luck...

    Montana General vs Colorado 0 Point Unit (Archery)

    There is beetle kill but nothing like SW Colorado. Depending on where you are you can run into some nasty deadfall areas. It sounds like you're on the right track. I tried out a new area last archery season in some rough, out of the way terrain and saw 3 other groups of hunters all season

    Need advise-Dry bag for hanging food

    I used a 13L last Fall and I pushed it to 4 days once but that was it's max. You'll want the 20L, I picked one up earlier this year and used it on a recent backpacking trip. That will have the space you need. I have the Lightweight in both those sizes and its solid, just beware of the small...

    Missouri Breaks - Fuel

    I've looked through other threads about the breaks and haven't found much about fuel issues aside from others saying to bring extra. I will be hunting 621/622 during archery season and am wondering how much fuel I should bring. I have a 32 gallon tank and get around 16 mpg average. I have two 5...

    What did you do today to get ready for Elk season?

    Doing some icing and PT on my wrist I sprained last week, hoping to get back shooting in a week or so

    MT General Elk - When to hunt?

    In my experience, if you can spend a day or two before opening to find out where some elk are, that's going to be your best shot. Some of my most unforgettable hunts have been the first couple hours of the season. I have also shot my largest bull on closing day. I think first and last weeks are...

    What is your favorite backpacking pillow?

    I've been using a Nemo self inflate for a few years and that thing is awesome. Side and face down sleeper. I'm a fan of how consistent it is, it will always feel the same.

    How many hours of e scouting?

    I like to look over an area, drop some pins near water sources that are also far from roads, and use these as a general guide for getting boots on the ground
