Pile of Montana Bone
« on: November 20, 2009, 08:42:50 PM »
Had a fun hunt and shot typical Montana bucks I guess. We were a little disappointed with the amount of hunters where we were and had hoped to see some bigger bucks. We both saw bigger bucks than we shot but thats the way it goes some times. Shot a few prarie dogs and found a honey hole for sheds out in the sage flats off the CMR. One matched elk set that is 330ish and a single that is a little bigger. Took my portabote and crossed a small bay to hunt a less accessible area and that is where I shot my buck. Defenitely exceeded the weight limit and were glad the water was calm for the return crossing. With the way our trip over started with a lost tire on the trailer out in the middle of nowwhere I guess we finished up alright(a tire can roll a long ways off of the road when it falls off making it very hard to find in the dark!!) nwhunter

Nice collection you got there. Is that a lug-stud style axle?

Damn, that's more horns than we found last week. We found like 20 deer horns or so, but only one nice horn. There were a lot of horns lying around there.

The trailer had the lug bolt style wheels and they all rattled loose on that gravel road heading to the resevoir. Luckily we found the tire after an hour of looking in the dark, it jumped a barbwire fence and rolled about a 100 yards out into a field. Then we found one lug bolt and stole two from the other side and off we went. At that point we just wanted to get to camp so we could hunt the next day.

Just a heads up for you, I dont really give a dam, Id do the same but the state of Montana will bust your ass for taking sheds off the CMR, all the sheds I find there came from the BLM up top.

Fletch also hunts in the area, but I don't think he drew this year.  I think he was chasing lopes this year.  I haven't talked to him in awhile.

Man and I thought I was good at finding sheds, nice haul.  I think my total was at 12 muley sheds, 2 elk, and 1 whitetail winterkill.  Got any field pictures of you guys bucks?

Hey now I saw your boat at least mine is 12 feet long! And we had four guys in it after that pic with our packs and a buck, no prob for the portabote! You guys left just in time the camp warden showed up and was not happy with the condition of the covered dining area after a dozen deer were had been hung and skinned. He left notes threatening citations within 24 hours so we had to use the meat poles. I almost asked if you were huntwa members but didn't want to sound like a internet geek! nwhunter

I tried to blend our bucks into the sheds in that pic as they are a little small! First pic here is mine figured I would take him after quite a chase over three ridges and by then we were over 2 miles from the boat so it qualified as a hard earned buck and bone and pack for my pardners, they love my logic that it can be small as long as it is far. 305 yard shot in the neck dropped him. Second pic is my bro in law and we found his buck out on block management land. One warning shot and then 365 yard shot broke him down.

It sounds like everyone ended up with bucks, so that sounds like a successful trip.  Nice looking bucks.
