Title: Another great trip to Montana.
Post by: Craig on November 26, 2017, 02:44:57 PM: Been going to Montana for about 20 years now and still love it. This is my sons 2nd year being able to hunt (13 years old ) and it make the trips that much better. Have to brag about my RBROS 7mm SAUM rifle. that thing shoots lights out and it was windy all week. Great gun
My co pilot was not much help. lots of this on the 15 hour trip

Post by: cem3434 on November 26, 2017, 03:47:59 PM: Some good looking animals. What general area were you in? Last time I was in the Broadus area a couple years ago, mature bucks were few and far between. The country you were hunting in looks like north central, but I could be wrong.
