Spring ink giveaway!

Last fall we asked you to send us your bad tattoos, and boy did you deliver!

We learned about one woman’s dragon tat that ended up looking like a beheaded fish, saw an example of some fine prison art – that wasn’t actually done in prison, and laughed a little at the woman who got her son’s name and date of birth on her arm, only to realize after the fact that the date was wrong!

In fact, we were so impressed that we’ve decided to do it again.

Yep, starting April 2nd send us a photo or description of your bad tattoo and how you’d like to cover it up, and we’ll give away a $100 gift card to The Steel Paintbrush in Hamilton every Friday through the end of the month.

And to really bolster the prize, we’ll throw in an extra $75 for the final Friday (April 27th). That one will go to the listener with the most unique tat idea.

Good luck, and happy freakin’ spring from 105.9 Jack FM and The Steel Paintbrush!

 

 

 

 

 

Montana Lottery and 105.9 JackFM invite you to try your luck at a Jack Sack!

Starting Feb. 26, when you hear the cue text LUCKY to us at (406) 848-1059 to be entered to win one of 10 lucky Jack Sacks.

What’s inside?

Well, that’s the catch. Jack’s not telling.

But you can expect some Montana Lottery scratchers, maybe some FREE concert tickets, a gift card or two to your favorite local businesses … If you’re REALLY lucky you might take home some sweet Jack schwag! Each Jack Sack is a little bit different than the next, but some sacks are luckier than others!

We’ll collect names and numbers throughout each weekday and then pick two lucky Jack Sack winners every Friday in March!

So, you got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, Jackhead?

Get your Jack Sack on!
Win free ink from Steel Paintbrush!

Jack’s got two types of friends: Those jonesin’ for new ink, and those who regret ink-jobs past.

Lucky for both of them, Jack has a little somethin’-somethin’ up his sleeve this holiday season. Get it? Sleeve? Nevermind …

In any case, we’ve hooked up with Steel Paintbrush in Hamilton for a schweet holiday giveaway that’ll hurt so good, whether you’ve got regrettable ink or a new vision in mind.

Every Friday in December, Jack will give away a voucher for FREE work at Steel Paintbrush!

He’ll start with $75 each of the first three Fridays (Dec. 1, 8 and 15) to the listeners with the most need for a coverup. For the final two Fridays (Dec. 21 and 28), he’ll up the ante and give away $150 each to the two listeners with the most unique tattoo ideas!

So how do you win?

Great question … either click the “Register Here” buttons at the top and bottom of this page or follow THIS LINK to our online submission form. There you’ll submit your information as well as your picture – either your bad tattoo that needs to get gone, or your unique tattoo idea that needs to come to fruition.

Jack will sift through the submissions and pick a new winner each Friday.

Get your Jackpot on with Jack!
Flee the smoke with Jack and Lithia!

It’s not just a physical sensation – it’s a mental one as well.

We’re talking about the feeling that we’re all getting suffocated by this enduring wildfire smoke.

Yeah, all that coughing is making it harder for Jack to hone his incredible collection of pick-up lines; but the associated claustrophobia has also boosted his neurosis to unprecedented levels.

Chicks just don’t seem to care too much for Jack when he’s sweating, convulsing and passing out BEFORE he even downs his first can of cool brew.

So this month, Jack’s inviting you to all join him on a road trip out of town to one of the few areas where the sky remains clear. We’re talking about a campout at Deadman Lake in far, far southwestern Montana – in the Italian Peaks Proposed Wilderness.

And to further pique your interest, our friends at Lithia Ford of Missoula are throwing in a tire mount and balance for one lucky winner. Oh, and by the way, you’re driving; Jack will provide the entertainment.

Read on for directions, tips and what to expect at Deadman’s Lake, and don’t forget to CLICK HERE to sign up for your free tire mount and balance!


Deadman Lake #91

Round Trip: 16 miles

Total Elevation Gain: 1,096 feet

Directions: From Missoula, head east on I-90 like you are headed to Butte, but just before Butte you’ll take I-15 south. Head through Dillon, and then about 45 miles past town you’ll take Exit 23 at Dell.

wmt41ff882550b37c9b7Turn right at the bottom of the off-ramp and then take an immediate left onto Westside Frontage Road. About 1.5 miles down you’ll come to Big Sheep Creek Road – turn right (west) here.

Follow Big Sheep for 18 miles – and when it branches, take the left fork towards Nicholia-Deadman on FR 3927. Stay on the road until you see Nicholia Creek Road, and then follow that to the lake.

We highly recommend you check out a map before setting out on your journey.

What to expect: This hike covers about one-third of a 23-mile lollipop-shaped loop through a lush valley with views of the Italian Peaks.

Starting at Deadman Lake, hike south upstream following a dirt trail that at times is faint and grown over. After taking the lefthand branch early on, hike into the valley surrounded by high, cavernous cliff faces following the sometimes dry creek bed through meadows and old lake basins. Take this path for around 6 miles and then the trail begins to take a slight dip into the trees on the righthand side. Continuing for a couple hundred meters look for the sub-trail branching across the river and up the hillside to the left.

This branch was a little bit difficult to find even with a trail map; look for the branch just south of the mountain with an eastern cliff face. Once on this trail, there are a couple switchbacks to the top of the hill. This climb is the most difficult part of the hike. Around a mile after taking the sub trail, cut down on the other side of the hill to a small but oasis-like Divide Creek Lake.

A good camping spot is only another half mile up on a peninsula overlooking the way you just came from and there’s a great view of the geologically interesting mountain line to the Southwest. The trail is rough but this view of Italian Peak is definitely worth packing in to see at sundown. If you can filter some water I would suggest hiking up to Italian Peak from this side. There is also a view of Scotts Peak just across the Idaho border if you get up a bit higher.

Note: Instead of finishing the 16 miles remaining in the loop after hiking back down the hillside, you can hike out the way that you came.
