This forky was hanging with 8 does.

I have 24A also. I'm going to run up there in the morning and hunt for the day.

I've been waiting for this thread all week. I have the rifle tag in my pocket and I'm trying to decide if I should go up this weekend.

A few people have noticed that but I think it was just the way I was holding it. I'll have to check later though.

We were using a Ruger M77 mark ii but I was wondering if it could of been the firing pin. Never had an issue with it before but it probably deserves a look. Sounds like misfires aren't extremely uncommon either though.

He did a two part series with a lion hunter. It's the two newest episodes. Episodes 215 & 216

It was real good until DiCaprio blamed global warming when they couldn't find snow fo shoot the movie after he accepted his Oscar. After waiting for an oscar for all those years and global warming is fhe speech you come up with?

Hopefully soon! I screwed up and put me and the girlfriend on the same card and would really like to know if she drew turkey or if I drew bear.

Everyone's portal still showing pending?

206 is going to kill me! My entire workforce is at $9.00 an hour.

Where are you located?

This happened on coueswhitetail? Sounds like someone should be booted if that's possible. Pretty sketchy!

I've always wanted to see restrictions Since I like to hold out for the biggest deer I can find but I can see both sides of the story. Last week my girlfriend was able to take her first big game animal- a 2x1 mule deer. Going into the hunt she didn't think she would want to shoot a young deer and I had her hopes high that we shouldn't have a problem finding a 3x3 or small 4 eventually. At the end of day 3 she was pretty wore out and discouraged thinking she would never shoot a deer. On the morning of day 4 she decided to shoot a 2x1 and she was happy as could be. She realized that hunting isn't a show up and tag one kind of deal and that you had to put some work into it and it made her appreciate that young deer I think.

Eh I might do it again if I have some recipes lined up to use the juice. It's pretty strong and was hard for me to drink straight. I mixed it with orange juice and made some popsicles mainly. I did a 5 galling bucket worth of pears and i probably got close to a gallon if not more of processed juice.

I picked them for the first time this year On the west side of town so I'm not sure about the east side. It was fun to get out and pick some but the processing was just work. It was my first try so I'm sure there's easier ways to get it done.

Did the officer take the elk with him or did he actually let it slide?

FYI link comes up page not found

Why is it only season 5&6? And there's no episode description!

I'm Not sure if the date posted on the hikers page is the day they were actually up there but that bull seems to be too fresh on 10/8/16 if the last bull hunt was 9/22/16. Anyone agree or am I way off?

I struggled but my opinion doesn't count for much since it was my first time in the unit.

The bear hunt opened back up in 27. I don't know of any Thing other than regs to know what hunts are on

Here's a copy and paste of the story from his face book page. Grizzly 10/1/16 Hello everyone. Thought I should share yesterday morning's Grizzly incident. I took an early morning hike in the Madison valley to scout for elk. Knowing that bears are common throughout southwest Montana, I hollered out "hey bear" about every 30 seconds so as to not surprise any bears along the trail. About three miles in, I stepped out into an open meadow and hollered again. A few more steps and I spotted a sow Grizzly bear with cubs on the trail at the upper end of the meadow. The sow saw me right away and they ran a short distance up the trail. But suddenly she turned and charged straight my way. I yelled a number of times so she knew I was human and would hopefully turn back. No such luck. Within a couple seconds, she was nearly on me. I gave her a full charge of bear spray at about 25 feet. Her momentum carried her right through the orange mist and on me. I went to my face in the dirt and wrapped my arms around the back of my neck for protection. She was on top of me biting my arms, shoulders and backpack. The force of each bite was like a sledge hammer with teeth. She would stop for a few seconds and then bite again. Over and over. After a couple minutes, but what seemed an eternity, she disappeared. Stunned, I carefully picked myself up. I was alive and able to walk so I headed back down the trail towards the truck 3 miles below. As I half hiked and jogged down the trail, I glanced at my injuries. I had numerous bleeding puncture wounds on my arms and shoulder but I knew I would survive and thanked god for getting me through this. I hoped the bleeding wasn't too significant. I really didn't want to stop to dress the wounds. I wanted to keep moving and put distance between us. About five or ten minutes down the trail, I heard a sound and turned to find the Griz bearing down at 30 feet. She either followed me back down the trail or cut through the trees and randomly came out on the trail right behind me. Whatever the case, she was instantly on me again. I couldn't believe this was happening a second time! Why me? I was so lucky the first attack, but now I questioned if I would survive the second. Again I protected the back of my neck with my arms, and kept tight against the ground to protect my face and eyes. She slammed down on top of me and bit my shoulder and arms again. One bite on my forearm went through to the bone and I heard a crunch. My hand instantly went numb and wrist and fingers were limp and unusable. The sudden pain made me flinch and gasp for breath. The sound triggered a frenzy of bites to my shoulder and upper back. I knew I couldn't move or make a sound again so I huddled motionless. Another couple bites to my head and a gash opened above my ear, nearly scalping me. The blood gushed over my face and into my eyes. I didn't move. I thought this was the end. She would eventually hit an artery in my neck and I would bleed out in the trail... But I knew that moving would trigger more bites so a laid motionless hoping it would end. She suddenly stopped and just stood on top of me. I will never forgot that brief moment. Dead silence except for the sound of her heavy breathing and sniffing. I could feel and her breath on the back of my neck, just inches away. I could feel her front claws digging into my lower back below my backpack where she stood. I could smell the terrible pungent odor she emitted. For thirty seconds she stood there crushing me. My chest was smashed into the ground and forehead in the dirt. When would the next onslaught of biting began. I didn't move. And then she was gone. I tried to peek out without moving but my eyes were full of blood and I couldn't see. I thought that if she came back a third time I would be dead, so I had to do something. Staying in position on the ground, I slowly reached under my chest to grab at the pistol I was unable to get to earlier. I felt I needed something to save my life. The pistol wasn't there. I groped around again but nothing. I wiped the blood from one eye and looked around. No bear. The pistol and holster were lying five feet to my left. The bear's ferocious bites and pulling had ripped the straps from the pack and the holster attached to it. Now trashed, that backpack may have helped prevent many more serious bites on my back and spine. I picked everything up and moved down the trail again. I couldn't believe I had survived two attacks. Double lucky! Blood was still dripping off my head and both elbows and my shirt was soaked to the waist and into my pants. But a quick assessment told me I could make it another 45 minutes to the truck without losing too much blood. I continued the jog just wanting to put more distance between that sow and I. At the trailhead was one other vehicle. I really hoped that person didn't run into the same bear. I snapped a couple quick photos and a video of my wounds, laid some jackets over the truck seat and headed for town. I stopped a rancher along the way and asked him to make a call to the hospital. When I got into cell service, I made a quick call to my girlfriend to ask how her morning was going, before freaking her out and asking her to bring me a change of clean clothes to the hospital. Another call to 911 and I gave the operator a quick run down of my injuries and asked her to call the hospital and give them a heads up that I was ten minutes out. Moments later I was met at the front door by the doctor, nurse and an officer. I had to ask the officer to open the door, put my truck in park, and unbuckle my seat belt. My left arm was useless. He was impressed I had taken the effort to buckle. Once inside, the x-rays revealed only a chip out of the ulna bone in my forearm. Following was eight hours of stitching to put me back together. Most were arm and shoulder punctures and tears. A 5" gash along the side of my head will leave a nasty scar, but I'm hoping my balding doesn't come on too quickly and leave that one exposed. And finally, this morning, numerous deep bruises and scrapes are showing up from the bites that didn't quite break the skin. Dark bruising in the shape of claws, line across my lower back and butt where the bear stood on me. Also a few more chest bruises and facial abrasions from being smashed and slammed into the ground. Not my best day, but I'm alive. So thankful I'm here to share with all of you. In a couple weeks I will have to clean out the truck a little better. My girlfriend says it looks like I had gutted an elk in the drivers seat. Todd Orr. Skyblade Knives.
