As mentioned above, it doesn't really matter what BLM says or does, the law enforcement agency that will normally be involved is the local Sherriff's office and if the land owner claims trespassing then they can be cited. It will be up to the local county prosecutor at that point to decide if...

Too many people simply repeat the short version of what they've read or heard, they leave out some important details. I live in a place where burns and extensive tree harvesting occurs and I can tell you that, in regards to elk, there is no canned answer to the OP's question. There are several...

It looks like the guy was trying to get to the hottest load he could find, unfortunately we don't know what powder, bullet, or sabot he was using so we still don't know what happened. Here is a copy of the loads recommended in the rifle's manual.

Well, we got our first snow today. I live about 25 miles SW of Helena in the Helena National Forest and about noon it started snowing. They are predicting more snow through Saturday morning. I'll be elk and deer hunting during the rifle general hunt time frame (21 Oct. through 26 Nov.) so at...

Well I finally got mine after 2 1/2 weeks of hiking the mountains around my house. The rack isn't all that big but I've got the meat. Besides, it's easier to drag a smaller one out of the hills, even though I was lucky and two friends (much younger than me) helped carry it out. I learned a...
