in Montana, maybe a stop along the way wouldn't hurt. Again, thanks.

I feel for the landowner because he has to put up with tresspassers and littering, posting the property is his only option, I have seen what damage a few knuckleheads can do, but don't blame shedhunters unless its based on facts, for all we know it could have been wolf loving tree huggers looking for Mel's Hole.
