Day 5 of our Montana Hunt

Good morning Montana! Up before crack of dawn to hunt again. Mornings hunt went well with several animals spotted but nothing in bow range. Andrew also spotted some unique flora as well as fauna. Andrew had a great view of the alfalfa fields.

On the drive back from my morning antelope hunt I stopped by a few of the local historical markers. Can only imagine what Lewis and Clark would have seen and endured during the corps of discovery journey through this area.

it was onto more scouting and spotting.  The mountains in the Custer NF were amazing again today. Felt like the king of the world on top of the mountain. Vortex binos should use this pic of Andrew in their next add campaign. Me being goofy but it felt great.

 I spotted an antelope buck bedded so drew and I tested out the new decoy. Got us to 130 yards of one buck and 65 of another buck and doe bedded but got busted when standing for the draw. Gig was up ad the buck was quickly at 250 and still going. Decoy worked great as cover for stalking. Do it yourself self guided on state lands is tough but a challenge is what we signed up for. Full on camo for us both almost twinning the outfits.

 The evening hunt was unsuccessful in our attempt to harvest an animal, but was an astounding success at sights and making memories that will sustain us for a while till we can get back to big sky country again. A rain storm at sunset lead to a rainbow extrodinaire ( 2 views 15 miles apart drew the mine) and an astoundingly beautiful sunset in the west of the Beartooths, Bridget, and Crazy mountain ranges.

 Stayed tuned hopefully a BBD day tomorrow!  Not sure it gets much better than this! Feeling very blessed tonight again.
