RE: Nonresident tag fees outlandish!
Yes Wolf Killer I did. I hunted muleys for the first time last year in MT and knocked down a buck on the last hour of the last day. I met some great people in Eastern MT and am looking forward to going back. I'm going solo this year as my brother couldn't swing it this year. I'm going to look into where I went last year and also found out about a distant ex relation that married a rich girl and bought a ton of land out by Missoula.
MT Bob, I know what you mean as I see alot of those road hunters in MN too. When I go to Colorado I rent a pack horse and walk in across a canyon and over a mountain to get to the good stuff. It takes a whole day of walking to get in but it definitely gets you away from most hunters. I'm really looking forward to getting back to Montana again as it's a beautiful state. I've spent a little time out in Western MT on one trip and my Uncle has a cabin just west of Hamilton. I went thru Darby and visited Sula as my grandparents spent many summers in the area fishing and camping. Hiked to the top of Trappers peak one day and man what a view into Idaho. Well, back to the packing. Me and the girlfriend are heading to the Black Hills after work tommorrow to chase some Merriams around.
