When I was young and single and living in Montana, I spent a lot of my free time wandering the hills and mountains. I was shed hunting, bear hunting, or fishing mountain lakes. I called every trip a scouting trip and I could find elk in the country south of Livingston, Montana. Of course the sad part of my story started when I moved to Washington state to actually make some money. Now I just read internet chat rooms or my Bugle magazine and do my scouting on the computer. I always promise myself I will get out a few times after the snows recede and walk the country I will hunt, but you know, it is always something.
