Atlanta, Hillman & Lewiston

UPDATED 3/31/2026
-------------------
========================================
POOR to FAIR SLEDDING
We're in to a
thaw from the storm a couple of weeks
back. Still some snow in area's
whereas other spots are revealing the
dormant ground underneath.
You can walk atop some of the snow pack but
some spots have loosened up from recent
rains and thawing temps.
Trails still have a fair base on some of the
trails, however road crossways are exposed
dirt or pavement.
There are some calls for some rain showers,
snow showers and some freezing rain in the
nighttime hours come Thursday night, but
warmer daytime temps ought melt any
accumulations that may occur.
Scattered precipitation is expected from
Tuesday on and in to the coming weekend.
Next chance for some sunny shine is for the
coming Monday.
The bouncing weather ball is still bouncing.
Lets hope we don't get slammed
with another April Fools ice storm
as with last year!
SCAREY!!
March and April are
always a flip of the coin!

A bit of advice on Bear from a Montana resident some years
back
In light of the rising frequency
of human/grizzly bear conflicts, the
Montana Department of Fish and Game is
advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take
extra
precautions and keep alert for bears while in
the field.
We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little
bells on their clothing so as not to
startle the bears that aren't
expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to
carry pepper spray with them in case of an
encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh
signs of bear activity. Outdoors-men
should recognize the difference between
black bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop
is smaller and contains a lot of berry seeds
and squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and
smells like pepper spray.

VELVET ANTLER
EXTRACT
Nutritional Supplements
Click HERE
for components of VELVET ANTLER. It's in there!
If you are in town, stop over at the
Thunder Bay Resort in Hillman
989-742-4502
They keep a selection of Antler Velvet supplements
Consider all the
minerals and nutrients the elk uses to get those
antlers so flippin' huge and strong in a manner of
mere months. These minerals and nutrients help the
body cope with arthritis, sore joints and muscles,
growth factors for bone and muscle health.
From those living with aches and pains to body
builders and sports junkies, it's in there!
Side effects of Elk Antler Velvet usually appear
in Autumn which may include growing antlers, an
urge to bugle, scrape the ground and head butt any
thing or any body that comes near your
harem. A slight inconvenience but they do
fall off in the spring.
Listen
to an Elk Bugle -
If you hear this in the woods , it'll be sure
to send chills down the spine.
