GM you're not supposed to ask those questions unless it's your first post and immediatly after the introduction. I think that's how it goes anyway. You are 3000 and some change too late!
Am I the only nr guy who hunts on the Montana side of the MT/ID border with the logic "I'll hunt on the more expensive side of the line, know most nr hunters will be on the cheaper side"? I'll pay a little more, if my thinking is correct. Heck, I drive across the country to do it. When it...
