Hi all. First time poster. I just finished my first big-game season and am getting ready for spring turkey!


Montana

I got two whitetail does right out the back door and a bull elk 10 miles from here. Had to drive 2 hours to get an antelope.

All with the 30-06

You got all that in your first season? It took six years for me to bag my first doe. I hate you. J/K

It's true! I've been thinking ever since that I'm going to be cursed for life. I'm starting to not think so now, lots of big animals around and I've had a lot of time to just hike around and scout for next year. Looks like drawing all of the tags I want is going to be the hard part. Still waiting to hear about that dang turkey tag. Hurry up MT FWP!

I don't know exactly, I could rangefind it. I think its about 120 yds fro m the back door, I killed a doe with my bow. The entire hunt took 15 minutes. I got home with about 30-45 minutes of light left, and just HAD to jump in the woods. I walked 5 yds in next to a big oak, and it wasn't 5 minutes a BB come by, I let him pass, and the doe came next. A perfect DL put her down in seconds.
