I checked my Montana Super Tag results today. I bought a couple tickets and they all showed up as unsuccessful. However, one number showed up in red and was designated as my "closest" draw. I guess that means I better buy more tickets next year ???

Sad news. There are probably people here on MM that knew Brett Thoft of Full Curl Aviation in Wasilla. Brett died in a plane crash in Montana on Tuesday afternoon. He was a truly great guy, and a great Air Taxi operator in the Brooks Range. Brett was 33 years old and had a wife and two small...

I got a "Feb 21 - Mar 31, 2013 F/IM Ibex Hunt Information" sheet from Game & Fish. The quota will be a little higher than I expected. Immature males will count toward your two Ibex needed to qualify for the either sex incentive hunt drawing, but they won't count toward the 125 female Ibex...

I'm looking for a really good rifle sling for carrying (not the kind for shooting). It's for an all black Sako A7, so I think I want a black one and prefer leather. I want one that works great, but also looks nice. I'm leaning towards a Sinclair Manufacturing Montana Sling from Midway USA ($36)...

You wouldn't believe how smokey it is in Rio Rancho this evening from the fire in Arizona. Here's a view toward the mountains.

I heard this wolf story at work today: http://www.newswest9.com/Global/story.asp?S=13612563 "The agency wasn't able to determine how the animal swallowed an ear tag." . . . . . and I was wondering the same thing! How do you suppose that could happen?? I hope I'm not posting something that's...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-12-10 AT 03:48PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jul-12-10 AT 03:35?PM (MST) News is still breaking . . . Initially it was reported that 6 people were dead, but it has been revised downward to 3. I posted a link to the news story, but apparently my firewall at work was corrupting it...

There is a letter to the editor in today's Albuquerque Journal titled "Wolf Recovery Plan Needs More Help". It is one of the stupidest letters I've ever seen published. (I don't know how to post a copy of the letter on here or I would.) The writer is probably serious (a serious moron), but maybe...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-03-10 AT 12:30PM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]I went down to McGregor last weekend to help two friends get their oryx. Nathan shot his right between the eyes at 360 yards (300 Ultra Mag) - Cow with 36 inch horns Odell shot his through the heart twice from 150 yards (7mm Rem...

It's not really new, it was made in 1910. I got it from a guy up in Idaho. It's a Model 1894 Winchester 25-35 WCF Saddle Ring Carbine. I have a doe license up in Wyoming this year, so I plan to shoot something with it this fall. I took it out to the Zia Range and it shoots good. It groups...

. . . . and why is he doing this to our country?

Is there any consensus on what the best brands are for primers? -- is there really any difference for hunting loads? They all seem to be about the same price if you have to order them on-line. I have always used whatever brand of primer that the local gunshops had in stock. Lately that's been...

I received my new Vortex 20-60X80 spotting scope this afternoon. I immediately took it outside and tried it out. Fully multi-coated optics, VIP Vortex warranty, and even a nicely padded soft case, BRAND NEW - UNDER $200. I really wasn't expecting too much for that price, but so far, I'm...

Here is a good summary of the NM Drawing Odds on the New Mexico Wildlife federation Pages http://www.nmwildlife.org/images/uploads/2009-10_Big_Game_Draw_Odds_Report.pdf

I plan to get a new scope for a 7mm Rem Mag. I'm leaning toward the Zeiss Conquest scope with target turrets. It will be used in fairly open country for elk to 500 or 600 yards. I have a 4-12x40 on my antelope gun, and I think I would like at least a 4.5-14x44 scope on my elk rifle, but I've...

There is a proposed change in the regulations for 2009 in the Hunting District 360 & 362 licenses. The Game Department is asking for public comment. It looks to me like the only change is that the cow elk licenses are unlimited, over the counter now, instead of the drawing. That is great news...

Last year (2008) and the year before, the Off-Range Oryx hunt was on page 19 of the hunting proclaimation and was considered a Population Management hunt. This year (2009) the Off-Range Oryx hunt is on page 51, under the regular draw oryx hunts. So, last year you could apply for both an...

I just got back from watching Glenn Beck Un-electable. There were a few empty seats, but not many. It was a great show. Glenn is right - the solution to the mess in this country won't come from Washington.
