To add: I deliberately make the decision to time my trip to coincide with prime rut dates, so i get what I deserve in that regard. Virtually all my experience in tagging/eating Montana bucks over the years has been smack dab in the middle of the rut, so I know I am apt to get the stinky ones.
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine
