Title: MT sharpies good news and bad news
Post by: jetjockey on October 07, 2020, 07:49:31 AM: The good news is there are a TON of sharpies in Eastern MT this year. That bad news is there are also a TON of deer! So if your heading out to upland country off the main highways, I would suggest only driving while the sun is up. This wasn’t the only deer we almost smacked! We limited 2 of 3 days by 1:00. The 2nd day we got half a limit before the wind started blowing and we were running through dogs.

Sounds like a great trip except for the ouch. What breed of dog are you running?
