Jag - Agree with most everything you posted but I want to let you know to believe about half of what comes out of Billy Hills mouth. Live in the same community and he is FOS. Well known around here and most just entertain the stories cause they are fun to listen to, if he is not repeating them to you for the 100th time. Heard plenty of versions of that story you tell and some versions were from Billy himself. Its not exactly the same story each time. He also got attacked by a bear and will love to show the scars and tell that story too. No longer outfitting as they took his license away. Good man but FOS most of the time. See if he runs for sheriff for the upteenth time next election.
Had a buddy kill a griz late summer early fall in the cabinet’s. Killed at 7 yards with 44. Sow with cubs. Happened fast. On a trail with thick cover. Charged from approx 20 yards and dead at 7. Three shots all hits. Montana fwp released statement on incident. So far no trouble for him. Criticized for no spray and not reporting till next day when he came back out of wilderness. Said it happened so fast it was either spray or gun and he was glad he didn’t have to choose. 305gr hard cast lead stopped it.
Thanks for that.
I know the M GWs didn't successfully convict him or the NY lowyer bowhunters though from the story in one of the big three . I'm thinking Outdoor Life iirc.
I've seen the many, many booner deer and elk on his mommas walls and also the booner cat she killed supposedly treed out back of her house by her feist.
Sucker was tough. I never saw anyone put the rear half of a bull elk on his shoulders and back and tote it down the mt, a hind leg over each shoulder with the pelvis on his back. Unskinned with hooves still on.
I wish I had a pic and knew the score of the humongous muley his brother,,David, had on his wall. Something like 38 in wide and 20 points. Unreal.
