    BRO Breakup

    If you spend your whole life taking in the outdoors, you come to appreciate that nature is pure and forever. Even that stone laying on the hillside is likely several hundred million years old. It makes me sad to know that people actually make and follow this social media pollution. Hopefully...

    Montana Taxidermist Recommendation

    Atcheson did this for us 7 or 8 years ago, and have done a few other heads as well. They do great work.

    Crazy Mountains Success

    Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I can't seem to draw these rare tags, but being there with my wife or other partners who did draw is just about as gratifying. Goats make you earn them!

    Razco vs Kenai chest holster?

    FWIW, the 2 chest harnesses I've bought from Diamond D (Alaska) are great quality. Not cheap, but to me they seem to just become part of your body & you don't notice the firearm weight. But yeah, there is a choice has to be made if using a bino harness.

    First Negligent Discharge.

    Always a good idea to share the "post-mortem" analysis of any incident. Thanks for bringing it to mind.

    Polaris atv mechanics on here??

    If you truly have spark, service manual mostly points to fuel issues in troubleshooting ignition. My twin cylinder is hard to get at both plugs, but wonder if you can get it to fire with starting fluid sprayed into one cylinder?

    Polaris atv mechanics on here??

    My 2006 700 Sportsman has a few fuses inside the front rack box, below the headlight. A few 20's, a 15 and a 6 Amp. Don't know what they control, but it may be helpful to check them.

    Montana season change proposal

    Human population = the demise of big game species. Montana is just now seeing what Europe, original colonies, bison herds, and current eastern animal populations have suffered due to pressure. We'll never again see our hunting the way it was a generation ago. Admit it & recognize how it will...

    MT Mule deer must haves?

    Those comments on wet roads are no joke...... A D9 cat on speed dial, if it rains. Nothing else (besides big wind, or time, or frozen roads) will work to extract you from that gumbo on BLM.

    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Can they arrest a dog for bringing it across the fence???

    Traction cleats for boots?

    I've found most of the YakTrax styles don't hold up very long when used on non-snow surfaces. The exception are the chain styles - which may actually work in your setting. As above, the Hillsound and Kahtoola brands have held up over multiple seasons for us with pretty hard use on snow and...

    Must-Haves for Western Hunts

    You are wise, OP, to pose the question here. I grew up hunting the Laurel Highlands of PA. In those days, it was generally more sedentary or stillhunting. "Gear" didn't exist, but needs were modest due to temperatures & terrain. Being out west these last 40 years, I'll add these things to all...

    Local traffic jam

    Seeing elk never gets old. Seeing a bunch or a whole bunch is even better.

    Antlerless Hunting - Cows w/ calves, Does w/ fawns...

    2 years ago I ate tag soup when I let 2 cows each with their calf walk away, at 100 yds. Mid season rifle. In that moment, it was the right call, and still is to me. It's a different story when they are in a bigger group and more anonymous. Maybe I've just become softer with age.

    Anyone regret going from 3500/2500 series to a 1500 series?

    Through the years we've skipped back and forth between camper styles & weights, which dictated what truck we've used. I've run 1 ton diesels from Dodge, Ford, and Chevy. And 1/2 ton hemis and Silverados. A few things come to mind in my experience & uses: 1. Pulling anything up grade or...

    Sharps & elk - Open sights

    Yeah, the sight picture doesn't change much at all with my 45-70 from 100 to 200 yards. And that's within my abilities & idea of ethics. These things are remarkably accurate - with proper skills & tangs, one can hit a stop sign-size target at 800 -1000 yards. But that can mean 80 feet of...

    Sharps & elk - Open sights

    For those shooting Sharps in black powder, 405 gr lead, what is your realistic max distance you feel good about with open sights? Tangs are great, but not real useful or responsible for hunting. I've practiced with semi-buckhorn sights out to 150 yards range with full confidence, but have yet...
