Unfortunately I cant afford the $300+ per day per person fees it seems most are charging. Anyone have a good suggestion of a place to go that's affordable? Thanks!

Office is just off the interstate...LOTS of public land you both can tramp...dogs up the A--. Been doing that for free the last 5 years. Fact, west of town bout 5 miles is a public shooting range, next to it is Wy NG property..F&G will give you a free permit to walk it and shoot dogs. Think that`s a bit more land...but last year three guys from Va. set up right off the road and shot dogs for three days. There`s a big town on public south on 14 out of town, about 10 miles..6 or 7 sq. miles of it. Dog town is about 400 yrds wide, 1k long. Shot that quit a few times. I shoot prone off bi-pod and rear bag. No need to pay if you can walk a little... and ask some questions.

I guess you could ask Drummond as he was doing the recording and commentary. If'n I'd got two with one shot I would have called it a two-fer! ya! GWB A Kill Artist. When I draw, I draw blood.

One thing I learned long ago about any kind of public hunting is not to tell anybody about it--even some "friends." “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

You could casually leak what your looking for, or if it's a small enough town, the locals will ask you what you're doing there. One year when we were found out, we had more invites to help ranchers out than we had time. A long shot I know. But just a thought.
