Pathfinder's Montana Antelope Hunt a Total Bust

[Pathfinder101]

From now on I am calling you before I hunt anywhere.   

I lease a chunk of land in 704 that has pronghorn on it is why.

Did they survive the 2010/11 winter and the EHD all right?

Yeah, I should have dropped you a PM.  Either way, I think I am done playing the Montana game.  I'll start building points for Wyoming next year...

Bummer guys.
Glad i did not get drawn after talking to the folks in MT a few days ago....gonna take awhile for the herd to come back.

 Just a FYI for all you guys that draw pronghorn tags. Make sure you knock on doors over there and in Wyoming, most of the land owners that raise cattle hate those pronghorn and welcome hunters to take them. Pronghorn are essentially goats and chew the cattles grazing areas down to less than a inch, past the point where cattle can't get to it to eat. Those cattle farmers are relying on weight when it comes time to selling them at the market, less graze means less $$$ to them.

That is why we get to hunt a 50,000 acre cow pasture for goats and P'dogs....all the rancher has to sell is fat calves.
