I'm going to be out there for 6 weeks I'll be traveling all over the state.In the past I've concentrated my effort mostly east of Glasgow but I have more time this year.
Stop by. I'll buy you a beer and take you to my friend's best spots. Dave

Nice pictures! I really like your black and white pointer. Been a real good year for bird numbers. ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/IASEWh.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/924/sDc71y.jpg) Thanks! I like him too! Guardrail bred FWIW.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

And give it a whirl in October when their feathers are more grown in. How far will you have to travel to do that?

Took my first walk of the season this afternoon. Missed one and knocked down three. ![[Linked Image]](https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8004/29422818122_7f0e36f50e_k.jpg) Great pics Sam. Dave Wow! Matt Damon hunts and uses a 20 gauge benelli!

Good to know. IIRC it used to be open into November. When did they change it?

By chance, my buddy came out today for coffee because of the rain. As he was leaving the local NRCS bird woman from Chinook and a couple others stopped by. She had been to my friend's farm south of Malta so I asked her what kind of birds he had. She said its one of the best populations of Sage Grouse she had seen. My buddy said it would be no problem if you wanted to go hunt. In fact, you can start at the main road and stay on BLM sage brush land they whole way. He said he cant figure out the big deal, as he killed a couple with his tractor and disc the other day! Good luck!
