Well keep track of your schedule along about the middle of July so's you'll have a better idea of what's going on Oct 1-15. We can get you lined up with the permit stuff after you know if you'll have the time to get here.

I wanted to shoot a deer bad this season. I haven't shot a deer in about a dozen years, and I really thought this year was going to be it.:sad: Guess that's what I get for doing my own thinking.

 Gene hope you can put things together to get here. We'll get you on plenty of goats, and should be able to do a pretty fair muley if they stay in as good of conditions as they are now.

 Thanks for what you do for the rest of us.

my dad and bro went up the day after thanksgiving looking to fill the last doe tag dad had.  they tripped across a clean 5x5 they claim would challenge the 6x5 that's my avatar for score.  he went 176" and in this particular neck of MT river bottom and range land, that's huge.  we got no reports of a large mulie being taken off the land saturday or sunday so baring him getting hit on the highway or completely bugging out of the country, there should be a 180" class mulie in the vacinity next year.  kinda hurts saying this cause there's lots of time between now and then, but I find myself very much looking forward to Oct., 2008.  lol.

I went to my GS shop and met a customer  who was planning an elk hunt with his 375 H&H after someone told him that was the minimum caliber for elk & of course he believed the guy.

You're as qualified as a friend of mine who used a Ruger#1 in 6mm for Elk & Mule Deer in CO hitting running animals  in the head or neck.

I killed my first elk with a .257 Bob.  Dropped her dead, but long long ago I went all the way up to a .338 Wm and just love the knock down power.
