But what about when you want that hot wing special at the Pizza Hut in Dillon, MT but also want to be able to walk there from your hotel? That one was shady. Not the worst, but on up there.
1/6- We'll file this one under "If you weren't there, you wouldn't believe it"
My son and I went to our lease this morning. Just after daylight I heard another member shoot. I had some errands to run after the morning hunt, so we came out around 9. Just as I was leaving, another member (the one...
1/4- My son and I skipped the afternoon deer hunt. Instead, we drove to a WMA to the west of us and met with a friend of mine to chase squirrels. He brought his squirrel dog and we had a ball. We brought 7 squirrels out, and let 4 more slip by us. Pretty good for a short hunt.
After supper I...
1/2/24 I hunted this mornig and heard very few shots.We had a few requests come in through the Facebook group but they were way down south. We ran a few errands and goofed off a while. About 230pm a buddy of mine called to see if I could cover one for him. I agreed and called the hunter. This...
1/1/24 Nothing popped up near the house New Year's morning, and I was kinda glad. We did lunch with the wife's family then headed to the woods. It was uneventful on our end with no shots fired. We came home, ate supper, and started a movie. Then the phone calls came in. A friend of my wife...
When it's a repeat customer, yes. There are also a few people that take a pop shot and hope for the best. For the most part we get tracks for kids, for adults that get kinda shaken up watching a big buck chase a doe and shoot the legs or briskets, or bow shots where people hug too tight to the...

After a late night last night I decided to sleep in. I planned to catch a few tracks around the house before we headed out for the afternoon hunt. No tracks came in, so we left around 1pm to try our luck this afternoon.
Just after dark 2 calls came in. The first was second hand info...
12/29 continued
We went back out to our lease yesterday afternoon, with the promise that we weren't tracking any deer unless it was for family or on the lease. My wife and I went to one stand , and my son went to another to watch a pipeline crossing. About 4:30pm the shots started. Shortly...
Things are picking up in my part of the state. I've had to hand off several tracks the past few weeks while I was at work. I'm home for a few days so I'll be in the woods, hunting and tracking.
This morning my son and I went out. I have a ladder stand that has been covered in deer morning and...
We hunted NW Nebraska a few years back for turkey. We were glassing for turkeys, and I found myself looking into the cliffs of a platuea out of habit. Sure enough I spotted 2 bighorns. I couldn't believe it, so I stalked in to under 100yd and sure enough it was 2 ewes. Turns out that WMA has a...
12/12 I recieved a request through our Facebook group around 330pm. I was just wrapping up processing a deer I shot yesterday, so I decided to give them a shout.
The deer was shot at 645am while chasing a doe. They had blood and gut matter at the shot site. They let the deer lay a while then...
12/8- My son and I drove an hour away to hunt a friend's farm. A state biologist was coming to pull CWD samples, and wanted as many does as he could get. Turns out the deer had other plans. After the hunt, a post came across our Facebook group for a guy needing a dog for a buck his 8yo son had...
12/1
I decided to try a wood duck hole this morning. Got there, and the spot that held 7ft of water this year was bone dry. We headed to waffle house, then home. After running a few errands, my son and I were planning our afternoon hunt. I received a call from someone that hunts on the same...
You residents have it so good. With points creep and so many tags going to residents, you're really leaving the NR crowd out to dry. I was tired of waiting on that tree tag and depriving my family of a legitimate Christmas tree. I finally broke down. I found a picture of what I consider the...
Yall have got me looking at that as an option now. Looks like pretty much any tag in CO has it's perks. I guess it's all dependant on what my schedule and vacation time can accomodate.
It would probably end up being 3 to 4 years before I headed to WY anyway. I've got an elk hunt in mind, and maybe caribou as well before I decide to go to WY.
I like the idea of a 3rd season tag with the new season dates. It looks like the chances of hitting the rut now are pretty good, without having to use the points needed to pull a 4th season tag. My only concern there is the amount of elk tags issues wherever I decide to apply. I'll make sure to...
You'd be surprised at just how often it happens. I get calls to track deer all the time that do that. Several years back I had a call from a guy that had already taken a picture with the deer, gone to get his 4 wheeler, and came back to the deer being gone. High shoulder shots above the spine...
