I'm starting my research now in order to hopefully get a guided hunt for next season. I've heard numerous times here and other places that getting a (good)guide can usually shortcut some of the learning process, answer a lot of questions and connect some dots a little faster than DIY. One of the...
Surely everyone’s heard about or experienced the fabled “beginners luck” at one point or another.
I was just reading a thread over in the elk forum that got me thinking about it. I’m not one who believes luck. I like to think there’s something logically explainable going on rather than some...
Planning on picking up an Idaho A tag and hunting archery this year. I’ve seen the idea that some zones are more “beginner” friendly but it’s mostly in older threads and not sure of the current relevance.
I had thought about Salmon or Beaverhead but at 12 hours away I think trying to go for a...
Hey guys -
I have some questions on specific areas around Missoula - would one of you who has experience hunting spring bears in the area be willing to shoot me a PM? I just want someone to run a game plan by and level my expectations.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
For the past few years I've taken a trip to Montana every summer. This summer, it's going to be over 4th of July week. I typically fish most of the trip, and have some spots that I always visit. I typically do catch and release.
This year, while I'll visit those other spots, I'd love...
So I’ve got a dilemma. I’m stuck between two types of stoves. This is for a 12x14 wall tent.
On one hand, the nu-way stoves seem nice. I really like the idea of the smaller footprint and the ability to have it on instantly, and likewise off instantly. No worrying about gathering wood or...
So, its looking like before the year is up I'll have an Idaho hunting license due to hunting spring bear there more than likely. I really want to get out and try chasing elk this year. I would prefer to do it during rifle season. If I'm lucky enough to get an opportunity on one, as long as its...
Lightly used. Bought early last year, great scope and glass, just a little(lot!) heavier than I need and a lot of features I don't use. I'm trying to lighten up my rifles and simplify my setups. I also have the sun shield.
Asking $470. Open to offers - BUT - not interested in lowballs. Please...
So I'm looking for a scope for a new rifle in 257 weatherby. I have a vortex and some nikons in my safe currently but want something simpler, and for lack of a better word different. I was looking at the Leupold vx2 4-12x40 and Vx3i 4.5-14x40. The concern I have is low light performance - is the...
So, its entirely possible I may do spring bear in ID instead of MT. I know I'm going to hit one or the other... its just a matter of funds and seeing how that pans out. Anyway - I know that reduced tags are available in a handful of ID units. How is the hunting in these areas? Would I be better...
Hey guys,
So I just found this forum, and browsing through there is a ton of info. I guess I'll have to add it to yet another forum I frequent(and make my wife a little madder in the process;)).
I notice there are a ton of threads on spring bear hunts in Montana, and admittedly I haven't had a...
