It's a fun way to hunt them. I love sitting in a stand or still hunting, but the open slough country is hard to beat for spot and stalk and jump shooting.

Ranger1: Now that my non-resident VarmintSons have completed college and are working out on the "coast" they no longer qualify for resident Montana Hunting licenses.
So needless to say they don't front the $900.00 plus for their normal Big Game Combo licenses.
Miss Hunting with them.
Both sons did get home to SW Montana here for Thanksgiving week and they got to see LOTS of game and game birds and one went on a Hunt for Elk & Deer with two of his resident buddies.
They saw Elk and Deer but no permission thereon.
Please pass on the appropriate congratulations to your son and to youself from me - nice Bucks both!
Hoping in the future you and I can enjoy more Hunts with the young ones.

Nice critters, thanks for sharing! I thought for a minute you were going to say your buddy was Pat S. Grin

VarmintGuy Doesn't Montana offer cheaper licenses to returning family members?

Great bucks. Son's nice big symmetrical rack. I always find it amazing that big wt bucks can hide and survive in a depression he middle of a field, a small coulee, in a small fence row, weed patch, slough without being seen.
Have you seen the wt population down up there due to the EHD like the rest of Montana?
thanks for sharing

Great bucks, though that is kind of the norm for your deer hunts. Congrats.

Montana does have a born in Montana/native discount program.

Thanks all. Ribka - population is decent up there, very poor in the Missouri Breaks. Deer hunting in general isn't nearly as good as it was prior to the die off. Many times the hunters in the Breaks as I've seen anywhere else. Sad to see the herd being decimated like it is.
