I was one the fortunate non-residents to draw a combo tag in Montana. I tell ya, there' s nothing I' d like better that to go up there and spend a week or so this summer and scout. Just ain' t in the cards though cuz of work. I figured the best thing I could do, being my first time to Montana, was to hire an outfitter. Talked to a bunch of ' em and decided on a guy that sounded honest and was willing to cut me a deal. I' ve never hunted off horses before and this is an 11 mile pack to camp. Just how sore is my a$$ gonna be?
I' m so damn fired up about this hunt that I' m drivin the old lady nuts. She' s more ready for it to be Nov. than I am. I' ve been shootin every weekend and I take my hunting gear out and go through about every week. I have one of those topo programs and I have the whole area we' re going to hunt dotted with waypoints and routes that I want to check out while there.
Any recommends about huntin off horses? Course the outfitter' ll be tendin' mostly but I' m curious about other pros and cons you might be able to share.
