HEY!!! Idaho and Wyoming!

[mjhowe]

Calling all Idaho and Wyoming sportsmen and women!!!

We are looking at expanding the Montana forum to include you!!! If you tend to lurk here, let me know where you are from and what areas you hunt and fish. I would really like to get some info sharing going on between our neighboring states. I go to Idaho frequently and I know many ID and WY folk come to MT, so lets expand our horizons a little bit.

I will do what I can to help you all share info and answer questions as I can. But, I gotta know there are some folks out there. Tell your friends and lets get this forum talking!

I'm not in Idaho, but I have family in Boise that we visit a few times a year. We try to get out either for some fishing at Lucky Peak or prairie dogs south of Boise and down out to Castleford.

I can't promise any of them will visit but I'd keep tabs on an Idaho forum.

MJ I live in the NE corner of MT. I would also like to get some more interest going here on the MT forum. About all I have seen lately is some of the people saying how high the prices are for NON RESIDENTS to hunt. Like I said, I thank a lot of the rich that are buying up large ranches or leasing like Cabala's.and raising the price to take part in the hunt. I almost forbid myself to buy from Cabelas after what I have seen them lease up huntting ground around Plentywood MT and do there thing there. CAJ

Well.......... I have spent my whole life growing up in Montana, but I recently took a teaching position in Wyoming and will be splitting my fishing time up between the two states now. So you can bet I will be posting frequently.

Hey, I see your little burg their was the coldest spot in the nation the other day, CAJ. It has been a little nipply here as well.

We find out if we got picked in 2 weeks. Otherwise it will be an '09 hunt in WY.

[CAJ]

CODYDAWG Yes it has been cold here in NE Montana. We still have no snow. Thank God for that, with all the wind we have had. Just hope the birds are finding enough food to stay alive when it is this cold. Was out to farm to feed some goodies to them the last week or two. Will have to keep it up from now on. The guys on Nelson Bros. farm are feeding a big bunch again. don't know about Todd. Would imagine he ios to. With the price at $22.00 a bushel, they might be holding off on the good Durum. CAJ

My uncle was National guard recuiter, in Williston ND. Tony hunted and knew many ranchers and others in Montana. I was looking forward to going out there, join him in a hunt. But before I got to come out he got Cancer moved to devils lakes where pasts away 1yr later. I wouild still like to do a hunt in memory of Tony Beecroft, I wanted to hunt muler and antelopewith a bow first, then a rifle if bow I can't get one that way.

Could someone give me a hand on how I could do this hunt for Sgt. Beecroft.

I would recomend you get ahold of the Fish and Game office in Glasgow MT, and get some maps of the CMR Russell areas along Fort Peck Dam. It is a very good area to hunt for Deer, Elk, and Antelope. It probably would be the easiet area in the Eastern part of Montana, and the best. There is good huntting on both sides if the Dam. Lots of Federal land and BLM that is open to the public for huntting. That is my best suggestion. Permits will have to be had early in the year.
