I have patiently been waiting for some "tracking snow" all season long (October 22nd through November 27th) here in SW Montana and I can live with the fact NONE came - oh well.
But today (November 28th), the day after the Big Game Rifle season closed - its snowing hard, big ole fluffy flakes!
Just my luck.
I did have a good season though and got to be afield many days.
I could have shot two small bull Elk but passed on them waiting for Mr. Big (never showed).
I did harvest a dandy 10 point Whitetail Buck and have enjoyed liver and onions and some venison stew so far from it.
My mother LOVES venison and especially Elk meat so I will save much of the best steaks from my Whitetail for her.
My Danners are cleaned up and oiled and my Rifles are cleaned and put away - I have both Wolf and Cougar tags but have different guns and gear for them.
I hope all of you who Hunt Big Game had enjoyable, safe and successful Hunts this fall.
Geese, ice fishing, predator Hunting and gun shows are next on my agenda.
Happy holidays to all.
Drive careful.
Hold into the wind
