Will post a full report but wanted to make a quick update. Weather was beautiful and warm the first few days. Hunted fairly close to the river on the north side. Saw very little by way of deer...a few does most mornings and evenings but nothing to keep us in the area. Switched zones and went way back and immediately was into more and fresher sign. Weather moved in and it got gray and cold and we killed on day 4 of 6. Perfect timing allowed us to take our time caring for the meat, organizing gear, showering up and spending a day in Bozeman drinking and talking to locals.
Thank you all for any pointers... I was going to be done with MT after I used my points but I just may have to come back (even tho it is a very expensive tag)
