MoHunter posed the question on another thread, and I thought it deserved its own discussion: How do you decide between a bivy sack and an ultralight tent? I know BB uses a tarprent and seems pleased. I guess I thought I would get something like a tarp or light tent in place of a bivy. Why...

I had to make a shelf out of scree rock to hold this guy on the mountain for the pic:

He's not quite a monster, but I had some of my kids with me, so it was a great hunt anyway. My 7 year-old boy made the stalk with me (over one mile on our bellies - no I'm not exaggerating), and my 5 year old girl met up with us after the shot, so it made it that much better:

Sorry, no video, but here are the results: I was pretty happy when I got the perfect mirror image of the proof marks on the receiver: Ready for ammo ...

Here is a before and after on the 7mm Rem Mag 110 I am working on. Only thing left is bedding and load development. Before: After: I like the looks of this gun. I hope to break it in on a spring Black Bear.

I would be fully confident in the 7mm 160 accubond at any reasonable range on elk. Same goes for the .270 140 accubond. We could (and have) debate the minimum caliber for elk. Many people kill them like clockwork year after year with their smaller cartridges. Like many game animals, some are...

Does anybody have any experience with this line? Ticks are just terrible in the Bitterroot and Selway in the spring, and I want to get some bear hunting and elk shed hunting done without risking the fever. I have tried bathing in deet and treating all of my clothes with permethrin, but I am...

While looking through the Feb/March 2012 EHJ I, once again, saw several areas I am familiar with listed in the MT MRS. The info on these areas isn't always quite accurate, IMO. I thought I would supplement the info with my thoughts: ELK OTC areas: I thought this info was pretty good. It is...

Am I the only one super-stoked to check out the giant deer in the Mulie Issue?

I thought I would let the EFF know about some new ultralight shelters coming out. They have some nice specs on weight. http://www.seatosummit.com/products/display/161

It seems that there is a lot of confusion about this subject. I researched the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) and regulations about this subject and found this: MCA 87-6-401 Unlawful use of equipment while hunting (1) A person may not: (a) hunt or attempt to hunt any game animal or game bird...

I am in. I posted him elsewhere on the forum, but here he is again:

Here is the video of my 2011 High Country Mule Deer hunt in Montana. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVMuNlitVug I know, I know ... I missed. I rushed that one. Probably should of edited it out ...

I don't know these guys, but I was emailed this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/ladysanimage?feature=3Dmhee#p/a/u/0/NjJYCKJa4 Pretty awesome.

Well, my buddy and I backpacked nine miles deep into the Montana high alpine backcountry for the opener of early rifle. This is a public land, OTC hunt for mule deer. Deer numbers are not high in this area, but if you find a lone buck, he is often an old one. That is the case with this deer...

Here is some footage of a couple of grizzlies eating huckleberries in the backcountry of MT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQmaDILiAc8 I took this video from the same spot I got the video of the bull in this thread: http://www.eastmans.com/forum/showthread.php/1123-2011-Scouting-Trip

Here is a photo of my Tarptent Contrail set up in the tundra. Wild and deep country. I got some great video of the bear and bull I might post later.

Well, I checked out a new basin, and only saw one bull. Also saw some less-friendly company ...

Hello Eastmans Forum Members!

I thought I would add some thoughts to the “Optics Value” debate. As I noted in another thread, I am an optics addict. It seems I am always trying, comparing, trading, buying, or selling some optical instrument. I particularly like binoculars, because like most hunters, I use them so often...
