Good looking buck, he looks a lot like my first muley over there 6 years ago.  How did Troy do?

One of these days I will get back there and hunt. My family owns close to 20k acres in the Ruby valley. Been there when I was a kid but thats it. I know there are lots of animals on it. Also lots of cattle  :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Ain't Montana great!

It sucks, I wouldn't recommend applying there, try Utah the bucks are bigger and so are the a$$holes.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Nice buck! I will be puting in for a Montana tag next year.  I finally got some connections over there.  Where were you on Thanksgiving morning?  We had fun with your girls that night.  See you soon.
