Just seeing if anyone has any experience at all with this unit. Going to be hunting Simpson Ridge HMA. First goat hunt ever, taking my dad out from ND for his first goat as well. I’ve been calling biologists and talked with some locals but figured can’t hurt to post here. Starting to realize...

Warning, lengthy post ahead haha I’ve been talking to some folks at the game and fish, comparing draw odds, and am looking to try for this unit in the special draw with my dad. I realize there’s less access than some other units but it still looks alright, I’m pretty used to hunting scattered...

Anyone have opinions on the newer company SKRE? Today I ordered the Hardscrabble jacket to test out chasing MT mulies in a few weeks. I'm a little over 6'1 and around 185-190lb. I wanted a more athletic fit so I ordered a Large, which was strange since last year I weighed around 215 so was...

Hey guys, Well I've been on here for years and posted a few times. I dropped the cash and applied for the deer tag. I have done my due diligence on where I plan to hunt in Eastern MT, have the BLM book coming in August, and read every possible post regarding East MT deer on the net it seems...

A few pics from one of my favorite areas. See more sheep than deer somedays (20+). God willing I'll be sitting on this same ridge come August.

Well after 7 years I drew my rifle tag for 4C. I've been doing tons of research and think I'll be alright but I know there's guys on here that could probably help. I read most of the threads on here and try to help when I can but I'm a young guy at 19 and mainly just learn from you guys. Well...

I have never done this, always been told that could be a huge mistake. But at the same time, it's hard for some of us to find someone with the same amount of hunting obsession/passion and knowledge. I know of quite a few situations where people did this and it always seems to be just a good time...

I don't know if anyone can answer this question here, but I figured I'd ask anyway. What town would you prefer to live in as far as the outdoors? Where you could draw a sheep/goat tag and hike in many many miles, without needing to hire a bush pilot, but also able to beat the crowds.(weather...

I just bought a a pair of XL 90% Pants. I have read quite a few reviews online and they seem to all be positive! But what about you guys? Anyone here have experience with them? And size? I normally would have bought a large but it said to buy a size up, which I was apprehensive about since I...

I haven't ever encountered this problem. I put a rifle together and now it seems "unbalanced". The rifle is 6 3/8 pounds. And the scope is 1 1/2 pounds. It feels pretty top heavy. I like a balanced rifle. When I go and shoot it, it doesn't bother me. I don't think twice about it. But when...

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms on this one, but I was at scheels buying some .300 win mag loads and the scheels salesman came over and was talking to me about what I was going to shoot with a .300. I just said, well, mule deer this fall hopefully. Do you have any 200 gr Noslers? And he...

I have done quite a bit of research on this hunt. My buddy and I plan on executing it in either Nov. 2013 or Nov. 2014. We want to hunt low for whitetails making spike camps until we can get up high and try to get on some mulies. And we mean high. We want to get up into some nasty country as we...

I wanna start off by saying I hate long-range hunting, it isn't fair to the game animal. At 1000 yards, you can sit and talk and most animals wouldn't ever know you're there. Thats's not fair. What is considered long-range? I used to think 300 yards. Then I got into western hunting, and it...

I realize this varies HUGELY per hunter. But how much would be max to spend on hunting. Like my dad for instance wouldn't spend half of what I consider the minimum. But he is still an avid hunter. With a family? Single, but full-time career? If a guy, say makes 75K a year. Would it be dumb to...

I wanted to say thanks for all the responses I got from my thread in the general hunting area. And also, me and my bud will be 18 and are planning a extra cow tag hunt rifle for late Oct or Nov. He has hunted this unit for 5 years. So he knows it pretty well. Should we have problems filling out...

I am extremely interested in biology, especially wildlife biology. Any feedback? Anything relating to the profession at all? Well I live in Eastern ND. I have a B average in high school. Around 2.8-3.0 GPA. I did fairly well in biology. I do struggle in math and chemistry, but can survive the...

Well I'm getting to that age where I have to start making some decisions..so I need to choose a career. This is very hard for me since it needs to be able to afford my hunting habits and obviously have time for them. Some say I'm crazy for making this a priority. But it is, and always will be...

I'm planning a hunt with a friend, we are from far eastern ND, so it's a long ways from home and we are 18. Closer the unit, the better. But we also want the best possible unit. We have zero preference points but a lot of ambition. We have looked at units 27 and 7 as first choice units as they...

Me and two other hunting buddies are all 17 now. And we all plan on moving to AK either out of high school or finish some college first. We would be moving for the life experience and for the outdoors of course! Anchorage has around 250,000 people, so I have already decided that that is where I...

My friend and I are planning a hunt for our senior year. He hunts out west and I hunt in the east. We are located in Eastern North Dakota. A combo hunt in MT would be 900$ for the mulie and elk tags alone. But he keeps saying it is worth it. But I think paying close to a grand for tags is crazy...
