Things have changed around here since I last posted a pic evidently, but this is what I call the prettiest place in Montana. Its about 700 yards to that finger at 1 0clock off my gun barrel.

Buddy of mine that went with me killed a deer as well and I went in to help him butcher it and pack it out. When I first topped out on the ridge where he was, this pic is what jumped out at me and I had to stop and take a pic.

LOL no targets that morning at least. I killed the target 180 degrees from that pic

This is the deer my buddy killed on "Calvary" hill.

The one I killed that was a blip in the pic I posted earlier. We dont typically kill giants out there, I dont live there and with a limited amount of time to hunt our goal is to just take a decent example of the game thats there.

If you look straight over the top of my head at that little cedar point 400ish yards behind me, thats where I was sitting.

This is probably the best pic I took on the whole trip! Thats the same buddy that killed in the pic I posted earlier, accompanied by another buddy of mine carrying the head, packing my deer out of that valley.

Dang that is beautiful. I need to get out there in the near future. My dad and I always wanted to hunt together in Montana. I need to make plans as I am not getting younger!
Just go do it.
Heck, take a week and just go in late summer to hike around and fish.
I like this pic too. It's a pause in the moment, candid.
I can smell the pine/pinon and my lips get chapped just looking at that pic

One more pic from that trip. My pastor, a young man with a wife and 2 small kids, resigned from pastoring just before I left on this trip. He wants to go to Montana and start a Freewill Baptist church and congregation out there. I sent him this pic and told him I had found him a church! 
Its actually an old school house thats 40 miles from the nearest town but I think I can get it for him if he wants it!

Our God sure knows how to create beautiful scenery. It does not hurt that you are great at taking photos. So majestic!!!One more pic from that trip.

Here is an oldie but good one for thinking about bucks in Wyoming. Having hunted in Montana most of my life it's getting tougher to find "shooter" bucks. 25 years ago it was about 1 out of every 20 to 25 bucks would be a shooter. In my youth, it was 1 out of 15. Today, in eastern Montana it is probably 1 out of every 40 to 50 bucks if you can find one. The guides and outfitters I talked to had a rough 2024 and 2025 doesn't look promising for big Montana mule deer I haven't seen a shooter muley in a couple of years. Enjoy this!

Ive seen a few like that where I go, but its always at 5 am or 7pm, 20 miles from public land, in the road or private pastures between where I can hunt and town.
