    2024-25 Whitetail Meat Pole

    We have some nice bucks around here. I might shoot one of them if I ever start passing on bucks like this one. 6th buck I saw in 3 1/2 days. I saw one bigger but couldn’t get a shot. This one looked good enough to me this morning. Now I can go back to work. Yay.

    Congratulations. That’s a cool buck. I’ve seen three bucks chasing does yesterday and tonight. The rut is definitely going full steam here.

    Congratulations. Looks like a cool area. We’re the elk in those burned areas? Looks like that’s where yours was.

    If You See Elk At Last Light...

    I guess I would chalk that up to bad luck. If I saw elk at last light I would be right back there in the morning. I was on a ridge that had elk sign all over it. As I was working my way up it I heard a wolf howl further up the drainage. A couple minutes later there was a stampede of elk going...

    That’s a nice buck. Our mule deer live in terrain you would expect mountain goats to be in. That place looks like you could walk for hours and still see camp.

    Nice work. I’ve seen the elk photo. Where are the deer photos?

    2024 Elk Meat Pole

    Congratulations. It’s not supposed to be like this. There is supposed to be years of frustration and blown opportunities before you get your first elk. Are you working on plans for next year?

    That’s a long nose on the first deer. She looks mature. Congrats.

    Who is Hunting Rifle Season?

    That’s funny. My dad says he’s busier now too. He still makes time for fishing. Before he did it on weekends. Now he does it whenever he can as long as it’s not on a weekend.

    Who is Hunting Rifle Season?

    My dad retired a few years ago so he has time to fish. It was a waste of time. He trolled for kams for 5 hours and got 0 bites.

    Who is Hunting Rifle Season?

    In his defense he’s old. We went out today. Hiked 7 miles. Lots of elk tracks but no elk. We got almost to where I thought elk would be and we saw a truck parked at the bottom of the hill we were headed to. A forester was counting trees. He said he hadn’t seen anything. That’s probably the end...

    Who is Hunting Rifle Season?

    My mom had an any weapon tag this year. My dad went with her several times. The season ended today. They saw a lot of sign in a couple areas but no elk. Lots of people. My dad has the same tag I had. It has a short any weapon season that starts tomorrow. He’s going fishing instead. I’m going...

    2024 Hunt Update Thread

    Is anyone hunting for anything around here? It’s been awfully quite for a while. I’m going out for deer starting in about a week but I won’t get too serious about it until the rut which for us will be around early to mid November.

    2024 Elk Meat Pole

    Congratulations. That’s a heck of a season already. Did you leave money in the budget for another freezer or two?

    2024 Elk Meat Pole

    Thanks everyone. We cut up the whole elk and brought all of it out like we normally would. It all looked fine when it came off the carcass but I could smell that it wasn’t all fine in the game bags. We got it home and broke everything down and started smelling the meat as it came off and...

    2024 Elk Meat Pole

    Here’s mine from yesterday. I thought I hit him well but after waiting 1/2 hour I tracked him and jumped him about 60 yards from where I shot him. I was able to hit him again as he was leaving but it wasn’t a good hit. Then it began to rain. I lost the blood trail and the tracks. We found him...

    Nice bull. Good luck in Montana.

    I got the age back on my 2023 whitetail

    Thanks. I’m pretty sure his best antler days were behind him. I’m not much for antler scores but I’m guessing he would only score 100-110. He’s got pretty nice mass all around and he’s 20” wide but pretty short tines. I thought about passing on him until he got closer and I could see enough of...

    Who is Hunting the Early Season?

    At least you guys are hearing things and hunting. It’s been so hot I haven’t gone yet. Our weather cools off Wednesday and I will finally go out.
