Snapshot

Nice pics Scott. I love that country. We have not had the big snowfalls up here,maybe 6-8" at a time mostly in the valley. We get the dang sub-zero temps. Brrrrr. I am not staying another winter up here.

I got carded here in Montana, and I am almost 50. God bless them for making me feel young again.

Glad to see the the young women learning and enjoying the outdoors. Very cool!

I remember in my youth, I used to throw alot of "hail mary" Shots, and missed alot of animals. I was never taught things like trajectory,bullet drop,point of impact at steep angles etc. I learned these things on my own as I got older, and I got to the point where I would not shoot, if I was uncertain about the shot.My skills, and kills, increased significantly. The ethics issue aside, if you want to make long range shots, then you need to practice long range shooting.Fully understand the trajectory and bullet drop of your particular caliber at any given range. When I put a muzzle brake on my rifle I noticed that that the deer down range where not as "spooked" by the shot as they would be otherwise. A rifle without a muzzle brake is much louder down range. Close up shots? I think the animal would certainly be more effected by the noise, as anything would.

Sorry to hear the news. Its sad to see a fellow bloodbrother leave life so early. My heartfelt, best wishes, and sypmathy, for his family and friends. Godspeed!

Great job Phil. Super dandy buck for sure!

Outstanding buck and great story!

Really nice buck!

Well done Sadie! That smile is worth a thousand words. It's great to see the young hunters having a good time in the outdoors. And a big thank you for all the tag donor's.!

Why in the 2nd paragraph of this article did they use the word "accused"? he did it, 100% he did it. ridiculous. Yep, this whacko is guilty. Unfortunately nobody is allowed to tag him guilty until a jury of his peers decides so. The media using the word "Accused" burns me up too!

Happy belated birthday, with many happy returns! Hope you enjoyed your day!

Snakes? I think I would jump out of my skin, if I sat down and saw that next to me.

Outstanding!

Chupacabra

Here in Montana they have some pretty nice roadside vendor setups in the summer, with quality fireworks. But you can only discharge them on private property. New years eve sounded like a mortar range where I live,.........incoming.............Boom! There is no sales tax here on most stuff, but that is offset with higher prices.

Nice pics. It sounds like the weather up here in Montana. Snow and sub zero temps. I have decided that I do not like below zero weather.lol

An offer from Ben who probably knows that unit better than anyone, is something you should consider. I have hunted that unit many times over the years, but not in awhile. Always saw pigs along the "Pedro" and the drainages and hills around it.

Up here in Montana, medical weed is legal. Everybody and their brother grows it in their garage, and sells it medically (permit required) You can go to a sleazy doctor and get Medical Marijuana use card for $50, so that you can legally purchase your 2 oz's or whatever. I don't like the stuff, but as long as people are not driving stoned, let em ruin all the brain cells they want. Thats all this country needs, are more stupid people who can't think straight. If it makes a medical patient feel better, go for it. A friend in Sahuarita just lost a 2 year battle with cancer. She smoked pot. Sometimes it was the only way for her to establish an appetite after chemo and keep the food down. But, if it put a big hurt on the cartel's and eliminated the violent crime associated with them, I would be all for it. It certainly is a double edged sword.

Happy Birthday old man! Long time no speak. Hope things are going well for you! Enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday!

I think a Turkey with a ten inch beard, is equal to a 3 pound quail. Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

Holy smokes those are great fish. I have always wanted to do one of those Canadian trips. It has been a long time since I caught a big Pike. Thanks for sharing your story!

What a tragedy. I am very sorry to hear about the passing of a fine young man. I extend my heartfelt sympathy and prayers, for you, and your family.

I think Pennsylvania has so may deer, that they will even let 7mm/08 shooters in to harvest a few.

dang! Look at those "Fatties". Like a football with fins. lol Nice Fish!
