white tail doe hunt in Montana

[wry]

Work obligations, necessary out-of-state travel, and nasty,cold! weather have curtailed hunting for me this fall. Last week I did manage to get out for a day. Took this doe with 90 gr. fffg, pillow ticking patch, .530 rb.

And I know you 'got 'er done' too! I'm sure the guys & gals here would love to see your pic--and read your story! You have a beautiful rifle to show 'em as well. Enjoy the upcoming season in WV! Good luck & keep your powder dry!

:bow: beautiful gun - what type is it? :thumbsup:

Fat, thick-furred whitetail does are just purty animals! Congratulations. :hatsoff:

What a fine looking rifle.

It is a John Bonewitz (Womelsdorf School) .54 Rice barrel, Chambers lock, built by Edwin Parry of Blackhart Longarms (check out Ed's website for some delightful eye candy!) The carving and engraving are exquisite. Mr. Parry is an accomplished artist and riflesmith to put it mildly!

I don't know which is purtier, the doe or the rifle. :idunno:

They let you hunt in Yellowstone? :grin:

 

[wattlebuster]

Both are purty :thumbsup: The doe will probably taste a bit better an chew a might easier :hmm:

No, we are not allowed to hunt in the park. However, white tail doe tags in Montana (just north of the park)are only $75. For those of us who live in Yellowstone, this represents another hunting opportunity in addition to my home state of Wyoming. Because I live at the north entrance, it is actually a lot closer to get to hunting in Montana than it is for me to get out of the park into Wyoming.

I had a real good backpack hunt with my brother years ago out of Jardine to the Hellroarin' wilderness. Packing the 19 miles out with game was rough though.
My wife and kids stayed in Gardiner.

 

[wry]

Wow, you are one tough hombre! I've spent a lot of time in that neighborhood--hunting, back-packing, fishing, etc. and it is rough country! Getting back to Hellroaring is a long, hard trip even with horses. Congrats to you on your success!

Nice, well done and enjoy the meat.

 

[wry]

Yes it was! I jumped her off to my left out of her bed. Fortunately, I had enough time to cock, shoulder the gun, and get off a shot. It was too high, but it broke her back and she was DRT.

Perfect.
