Tim Andrus Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hey guys, Just got in from the Big Sky country of Montana. The hunt went well, shot a nice 4x4 (8pt) whitetail. Saw alot of deer,antelope and then later inthe week I snuck up on a brute 5x5 , unfortunately NoTag!!!!!!!!! Got some cool pics though. As for the whitetail hunt . The landowner was showing me another ranch that he owned on the 3rd morning . As luck would have it this buck was bedded in the middle of a wheat stubble field , with nothing taller than 10 inches around. So I went about a mile away and bellied crawled over a high spot in the field and there he was still bedded at about 300 yrds. No way to get closer so I thought take my time on the shot (by the way I practice out to 300 yrds with my 300 win mag , so it wasnt a hail mary. And I rolled up my coat for a little rest and ol crack shot here just plain missed him. lol lol ! After I sucked some air back in and got my thoghts back I dropped him in his tracks with the second shot. Now for a quick run down he had great G2's ( 9 plus inches ) and G3 's were 8 plus. G1's were about 3-4 inches. A real nice buck for a do it yourself hunt the Montana. Now when I get the pics ready I 'll have my main man Tominator post them. Illinois , Kansas yet to go , Cant wait!!!!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Andrus Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: First NY and now Montana is a wrap! Hey bamabill, No it was on private land . The going rate is 100-125 aday depending on if you have riverbottom or not. The river bottoms are definitly worth it , especially if they irragate the hay. I saw 75 -80 deer one nite in a 100 acre piece. Whitetails, mulies, antelope awesome to see!!! if your ever interested I can show you how to find land ok tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Andrus Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: First NY and now Montana is a wrap! Chris, I flew. The tag is a draw, but if your landowner sponsors you , your chances increase. The stipulation is you can hunt just his property. Or if you do the general draw and dont draw this year you will the next with your preference point. tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
