I got back from my bowhunt trip to Montana over the weekend and had a great time. I was hunting for antelope in eastern Montana on blm land. Saw a lot of antelope and quite a few mule deer, including some decent bucks.
This was my first hunting trip out west and it was a learning experience as I have never done any spot and stalking. It was also amazing as how you could be on a high point somewhere and see for miles and not see any pronghorns, but once you stated glassing they would show up. Needless to say I did not get a pronghorn but I did get close, got to within 50 yards of a decent buck, but was not comfortable shooting more than 40 yards and could not close the extra 10 without him busting me. I also had one time where I had my decoy up and a buck about 200 yards away and I blew on my challenge call and he answered me back every time! However he never came in and rounded up his harem and took off. It was a great time though and am looking forward to next time. Thanks Nemont for pointing me in the right direction as I was into pronghorns every day on public land.

Bullcan,
Sorry I missed this thread earlier. Too bad about not getting a speed goat but there is always next year. Hope you enjoyed your time in Montana.

That is the best part of the hunt is being outthere trying to outwit the animals. I got back into bowhunting not for the shooting or killing but the amount of time I get to spend playing the game. I bet you had loads of fun and saw alot of nice things. Sounds like a perfect hunt from here.
