    Rifle setup is to scope as fly rod set up is to _____.

    I agree that the right fly line can make a huge difference, even if they’re stupid expensive. I would say the most applicable rifle to fly rod parallel is that Echo reminds me a lot of Tikka. Phenomenal values that will perform just as well as some of the much more expensive options out there.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    It was a great day. Lots of good fish to be had. Mostly on a pattern I tie and have had great luck with this year, but that one might stay secret.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    @Hem, my dad’s first fish on the new 6 weight.

    Lets see your fishing boat!

    It’s time for an upgrade, but the USS Lockwood still gets me to the fish. I’m trying to talk my dad into buying an Adipose or a nice raft.

    ISO Affordable, quality lightweight sleeping bag.

    I hate to say those things are mutually exclusive when you’re looking at sleeping bags, but you can’t have all of them and have them be affordable. If you’re looking for a 15 degree down bag for most spring/summer/early fall conditions there’s some good 650 fill down options that won’t be too...

    Options to help judge bear size?

    There are some stout bears there.

    Montana shed hunters - have you seen this man?

    Most shed hunters probably watch him frequently. They’re all about brown gold, mass, and stacking bone. I’ve always thought shed hunting was a suspicious activity.

    Spend my money on a chronograph

    I tried to figure out ways to spend less money but ended up getting a Garmin and it kicks ass. The ease of use alone makes it worth the money.

    How close is too close?

    In my experience I haven’t found “warning shots” to be effective on cabin raiding black bears. Bean bags work, but they could have cared less about a round fired off over their head. That sow on meateater was the perfect example of a bluff charge. Head held high, moving slowly, basically...

    School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country

    I’d carry the .357 with a good 180 or 158 gr bullet that will penetrate deep. Depending on where you’re planning on going you might have a small chance of bumping into a bear or you might be dealing with them on a regular basis. I personally don’t buy the idea that you don’t have to worry about...

    Montana S/G/M results 2024

    They didn’t, which just means a big dark timber 6 point bull is in my future.

    6.5 PRC Christensen Arms Mesa Vs Browning X-bolt Hells canyon

    I’ve noticed the same. The used rack is dominated by Christensen with quite a few Bergaras as well. They’re popular and the flavor of the month so I get why they’re being traded in often, but I wouldn’t buy one myself. My dad has a Hell’s Canyon in .308 that I wasn’t sure about when he bought...

    ****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD

    Grass isn’t even green yet and my local unit will probably close any minute. I saw this one up pretty high yesterday. Not what I’m looking for, but I love watching bears.

    New BF Good rich KO3

    I wish they’d add some more tread depth to the BFGs too. That’s one thing I really like about the Falkens, which are my favorite tire I’ve used in the snow.
