Title: Montana Bound - Archery Mule Deer & Antelope
Post by: jkthomps on October 06, 2017, 08:30:41 PM: @DaveMonti and I will be archery hunting in his super top secret hunting grounds in Montana this next week. I was fortunate enough to be invited this year to tag along and chase mulies and antelope in his annual trip. I am sure we will post daily pictures and adventures, so tag along for some fun. :tup:

Post by: DaveMonti on October 18, 2017, 12:54:36 PM: A nice looking buck bedded out in the open. Couldn't within bow range of him, but did get close to several others.

It's a handy machine when you are in a big ranch like we were. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use it to retrieve any game!

Post by: jkthomps on November 01, 2017, 04:06:22 PM: Thanks! Planning on heading back to Montana in a couple weeks. Plan this time around is to hunt public lands in Western Montana. SW Montana is awesome and a great time was had, heck, we were hunting and that is always a win. Now time to try and fill the tags and get some meat.

If anyone has constructive feedback for Western Montana rifle areas, please feel free to PM me, I am all ears. I have a couple of areas in mind, but would like to stay as close to home as possible so my wife and kids don’t complain too much ;) Of course, I am always willing to share meat or help with Washington areas to gain knowledge :)

I just had sinus/nose surgery and hope I am healed up enough in a couple weeks to head out. Ugh the thought of rifle recoil makes me kind of nauseous lol haha
