You're right...it's all on me. I think I said "it might have been mentioned". If I expected someone to hold my hand I would hire a guide. I scrutinize the maps pretty hard and do alot of homework so I wasn't prepared for what I ran into. Lesson learned! Nevertheless, you had a pretty...

Wow, I thought this died... Here goes, we pulled into NE Montana in the afternoon Nov 18th knowing we were supposed to have temps down to -5 or so the following week. Drove to where I wanted to camp, pitched the tent, had time for a quick drive around before dark. Ran across another hunter who...

Turns out this was the least of my problems...

You did get out after "flying liver". What a great couple shoots you had. Looks like a lot more fun than I had. By the way, I shot you a PM.

Thanks for the help Nemont.

Is there anyplace in Malta or Glasgow a guy can run into town and get a shower? I read that Shady Rest closes in October and nobody is answering the phone. Cottonwood shut down their facitlities for the winter. Any suggestions?

Nemont PM sent.

Nemont Sent you a pm the other day, did you get it? Mike

OMB PM sent.

I have been very pleased with with their service/transactions as well.

Hey NeMont, Glad to hear all is well. I will catch up with you later.

I hunted it last November against my better judgement and was extemely discouraged. The locals I spoke with in the area I hunt had done some unofficial accounting and had figured they had lost upwards of 75% over the course of the previous two winters. The stories were horrible, I will be giving...

Did you ever hear back from Jeff? I ask because him and I talked a bit back in June. I sent him a PM a few weeks ago and never heard back. Hoping all is ok? Mike

If I'm ever fortunate enough to pull a tag for sheep or mountain goat, and harvest, how does everyone process one? I have heard sheep meat is excellent, haven't heard much about goat. Typically, everything comes out boned out and on my back. When I get home I cut and wrap the BEST steaks, the...

As much as I hate it, I would pay more money again to offset revenues from the point system, if they stayed away from it. However, this attitude eventually turns it into a rich mans game, which I'm not. It appears, with this proposal, that there may be no segregation between "Trophy Species" and...

Tom, Though I do not wish to see a point system put in place, Thank you for making this available to us here.

Thanks kilowatt, I've been on the site and spoke with one of the owners, great guy. Just hopping someone had personal experience with one.

Looks like you got yourself a bit of a honey hole there. It's hard to tell but it looks like buck 1 and 5 were taken in the same spot. Regardless, nice deer!

Anybody have any experience with these, or know someone that has? A search on here brought up almost nothing. Hoping to get some info before I pull the trigger on it. Thanks.

Hey springbear, how did the deer do in your area after the winters of '07 & '08? I have been hunting a waaaays North of you and the deer got hit really hard. The locals there thought they lost almost 70%.

I had that tag 3 years ago, however, it was in November. I would argue that the late hunt is every bit as good as an early hunt unless you are dead set on calling in a bull. Feel free to pm me if you are still looking for info. As noted above, I don't feel there is a great need to hire a packer...

Wade, That was the clarification I was looking for. I think (for me anyway)one of the overlooked pieces of your strategy is the ability to maintain discipline in regards to exertion level. That is hard for me to do with limited time in the field every year. After following your recent entries I...

Hardcore Following your philosophy, you have a four season, three layer system were the only weather related changes you make is the density of your baselayer? I think your insulation layer is a down vest? Is there a close second option to down with less bulk? I have always assumed fleece. I ask...

I hate to be pesimistic, having lived on the "Wetside" for 40 years. Though all of the above cities are great places to live and there is a ton of very diverse things to do here, if hunting is your passion, stay as close to the border of Idaho as possible to cut down your hunting/scouting...

PM sent, sorry for the delay.

I also had this tag last year for a November hunt. PM me if you are still looking for info, I can tell you what I know.
