She definitely wouldn’t appreciated some of my inReach snafu. After I contacted help, i used it message my wife that i was ok. She never got that message. Instead, she got the phone call saying “We are sending people to find your husband…” I heard about that for sure.
Well, in 2025, I pulled the HD 680 Sheep tag with 6 points. 6 points. Yes—I caught a heap of good nature hell from lots and lots of people about my luck. I want to preface my recap by saying that as memorable (and short) as my hunt turned out to be, and as thrilled as I am with the ram I...
Lots of wisdom right here. Our oldest son’s getting married next month—I’m thinking that will divert her attention. So, buy boat, tell she agreed to it when we chatted about it during the peak of wedding week and musta forgot.
Boy o boy-drew 680-20. Pretty shocked. My youngest son’s senior year of football is this fall, so my wife won’t be seeing me much (which she probably prefers).
Struck out on antelope and elk, but drew a NR archery mule deer in 161-164. Should be a good time--congrats to other successful applicants this year. And for those that got skunk-city, sorry. I feel your pain.
Appreciate folks weighing in on this thing, sent the committee my thoughts (some of which were based on observations on this forum), together with the senator and representative in my district.
Good luck with your hunt--I'd be interested to hear how it goes. My buddy and I have the permit from November 7-15 and working through some of the same issues. And, he doesn't know I intend on stuffing his pack full of bacon before we set off each morning.
Points for me—was debating on putting in for mule deer, but I’m waiting another year. Partly due to uncertainty these days, and partly just bad timing if I draw.
Drew 339 elk tag. Got tired of hanging on to points for the Elkhorns. Live in Helena, so this should be a fun fall.
no dice on deer permit.
hope everyone had good luck this year!
